Where once was Tabasco, there is now Sriracha, Cholula, and Gochujang. This is what the condiment aisle says about American consumers.
Ted Chung is a man who has thought long and hard about hot sauce. “It’s something I take very personally and spiritually,” the founder of Cashmere, a marketing agency that targets multicultural millennials, tells Fast Company.
A photo investigation of the Chinese-sponsored apartments, highways, factories—and even entire cities—that are sprouting up in Africa at an astounding pace.
On the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, a small sign points to “Beijing Road,” where a new housing development called the Great Wall Apartments looks like the concrete towers you’d find in a Chinese city.
The perfect gift for that person in your life who wants to take their privacy protection offline, too. But is it just window dressing?
Has the encroachment of facial-recognition software made you a little uneasy? Are you concerned that cameras are tracking your every movement in public?

Students audition for music schools on the other side of the world with cloud-connected pianos that record and re-create how they played.
Getting into a top music school like UCLA (where John Williams studied) or Boston College (where conductor Robert J. Ambrose studied) requires more than a demo tape.

The image-sharing service now lets you go wide—or tall—for photos and videos that don’t fit into its iconic square frame.
In its own way, it’s been as defining a restriction as Twitter’s 140-character limit. Instagram photos (and videos) come in one format: square.
