Here Comes The Big Push For A Really Shitty New Net Neutrality Law
So we've noted repeatedly how major ISPs aren't just pushing to have the FCC kill its existing, popular net neutrality rules. They've also been spending a lot of time and money pushing loyal politicians to support the crafting of a new net neutrality law as a replacement. Why? They know that if Congress is even capable of shrugging off its dysfunction and corruption to craft one, AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Charter lawyers and lobbyists will be the ones writing it.On the surface, having Congre...

Google now blasts autoplay videos straight into your Search results
No one asked for this. In a move that is bound to piss off netizens across the globe, Google has enabled autoplay videos in Search. Following a report from The SEM Post, the internet giant confirmed with Search Engine Land it is currently running a small-scale experiment which involves automatically playing videos in search results. Despite this sucky move, one positive thing is that the Big G hasn’t yet decided whether autoplay videos will roll out globally. “We are constantly experimentin...

Fujifilm X-T20 review: love, rekindled
Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge
Strolling through La Rambla in the heart of Barcelona this month, I saw and heard the full kaleidoscope of human cultures around me, but something wasn’t quite right. There was an anomaly about the tourists surrounding me. Not one of them was using, wearing, or carrying a camera. I was, in fact, the sole person with a dedicated camera in hand.
Smartphone cameras have grown so ubiquitous and competent that, even on an evening outing in a city ce...

IDG Contributor Network: Step aside venture capital: Corporates are stepping up to the plate
I started my career in the height of the dot-com boom. My first job was to pitch for the redevelopment of the FTSE.com website. I remember submitting a two-page proposal, detailing next to nothing, and summarising with a price tag of £1m. A price tag which was roughly £900,000 overpriced.Looking back, it was a pretty irresponsible time. And not one I’m particularly proud of. Especially as FTSE became a client.There’s plenty of talk of whether today is a repeat of that time.We’re seeing "...

What follows is an account of something that can, honestly, happen to anyone: getting prank called. Except in this case, the prank callers were Russian and the victim was Energy Secretary Rick Perry, who proceeded to have a 20-minute call with the pranksters over energy policy.
To repeat: a member of Trump's cabinet was pranked hard (twice, as it turns out) by a pair of Russians.

KFC turned a to-go chicken box into a Bluetooth game controller

KFC really can't be stopped from making bizarre gadgets, and I can't stop being intrigued by them. Today the company launched a to-go chicken box that doubles as Bluetooth game controller. It's called the Gamer's Box 2.0. (I'm not sure if there was a Gamer's Box 1.0.)
KFC also partnered with Mountain Dew, so in addition to a chicken sandwich, people will get a soda with their purchase. It's mounted on top of the box, and it's something to behold. KFC only sent me renders of the devic...

The highly infectious virus was no longer constantly present in the country -- no longer endemic. Since then, measles has only popped up when travelers carried it in, spurring mostly small outbreaks -- ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred cases each year -- that then fizzle out.

Stephen Colbert rewrites the Boy Scout oath for the Trump era
The Boy Scout Oath reminds scouts to "help other people at all times," but that doesn't really seem to fit the Trump era. Maybe "buy a sex yacht" instead?
And after Trump's bizarre speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree, which fell somewhere between an unhinged campaign rally and a wannabe Wolf of Wall Street script, Stephen Colbert felt that in order to reflect the president's actual values, it was time to rewrite the oath entirely.

In recent days, there has been a great deal of interest in the supposed loss of Paint, followed by the bizarre, inexplicable delight people felt when it transpired the app will live on in the Windows Store. The (subjectively) brilliant Paint.NET was originally built as a successor to Paint, and the developer recently said that it too will be coming to the Windows Store.
