The Safety Check feature, used during last week’s attacks in Paris, will be offered by Facebook more regularly in the future.
In a disheartening reminder of how many lives have been lost in the past week, Facebook has activated its Safety Check feature in Nigeria, following a bombing that killed more than 32 people. Safety Check allows individuals located in areas where a disaster has occurred to quickly tell family and friends that they are safe, without making phone calls or sending text messages.
The battle of about dot me has just begun.
Friday, eight men associated with ISIS attacked six different locations in Paris, eventually killing 129 people and wounding 352 more. It’s possible you were there, or your loved ones were, and if so I hope you, or they, are safe and well.

British brand Warburtons teams up with Disney for a Muppet-filled Christmas ad.
A crumpet is, by definition, a thick, flat, savory cake with a soft, porous texture, made from a yeast mixture cooked on a griddle and typically eaten toasted with butter. A Muppet, by definition, is a puppet or marionette created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The reality of both these fantastic things is that to experience them is something that goes far beyond words. And just in time for Christmas, Warburtons has brought the two phenomenons together.

The iPad has long promised desktop-quality apps. But both iOS and Android have to catch up to their hardware to match desktop productivity.
Apple’s last financial quarter was yet another record-breaker. Its success was largely built on the the iPhone, but it also saw an increased role of the company’s first wearable, the Apple Watch. However, among the darker clouds in the company’s generally sunny picture was the iPad. The once red-hot device has seen its momentum fold like the laptop clamshells it once seemed poised to wipe out, with sales dropping 20% year over year.
A worry-free online file repository makes sense on paper, but reality often gets in the way.
When it comes to unlimited cloud storage, history tends to repeat itself. Every so often, a cloud storage provider tries to promise boundless space for your precious documents. Put your files on our servers, they say, and you’ll never even have to think about what a gigabyte holds.
