Steve Jobs biographer Rick Tetzeli argues the film doesn’t capture the Apple cofounder’s ability to learn and change.
As I left a recent screening of Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle‘s Steve Jobs, I overheard two women ahead of me on the escalator descending to the street talking about the movie. “I thought I knew a lot about him,” said one. “But I didn’t know all that!”
Been Choice, which allegedly blocks advertising within iOS apps, has been flagged by Apple due to customer security issues.
A new, turbocharged ad blocker for iPhones has been removed from the App Store over security concerns—and it may signal just how far is too far when it comes to iOS ad blockers. Been Choice, which just launched this week and blocks advertising even in native apps like Apple News, was removed from circulation due to concerns that the app was tracking user traffic.
If true, things just took an interesting turn: The U.S. has long struggled to coerce China to take action against its prolific hackers.
Every once in a while, the cold cyberwar between the U.S. and China takes an unexpected turn. The Washington Post reported on Friday that Chinese authorities recently arrested several hackers at the request of the U.S. government. The arrests were allegedly made a few weeks before Chinese president Xi Jinping’s state visit to Washington last month.
California governor Jerry Brown has signed into law the strongest digital privacy rules in the U.S.
A new set of laws is giving Californians the strongest digital privacy rights in the U.S. The Electronic Communication Privacy Act, signed by Governor Jerry Brown late Thursday, bars law enforcement agencies or investigative entities from handing over any sort of digital communications or metadata without a warrant. The law is by far the most public-friendly in the country.
Several companies are now using language-and-image-processing tech to spot what we humans can’t—or won’t.
California recently enacted a strict gender-equality law, the Fair Pay Act, which puts the burden of proof on a company to show that it has not shortchanged an employee’s salary based on gender. It’s a powerful tool to address a wrong that has already happened. But can discrimination be prevented in the first place? Even managers who don’t think they are biased may be—and just their word choices can send a signal. A new wave of artificial intelligence companies aims to spot nuanced biases in workplace language and behavior in order to root them out.
Retailers are in for a strong, yet competitive holiday season, according to two forecasts out Thursday.
Sales in November and December are expected to rise 3.7 percent to $630.5 billion – a bigger jump than the 10-year average of 2.5 percent but less than last year’s 4.1 percent gain, the National…
How design could heal the fractured relationship between people and police and other key takeaways from the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
It’s safe to say that architecture and Chicago’s history are inextricably linked. The city was the stomping grounds of Bauhaus great Mies van der Rohe. Frank Lloyd Wright had his home and studio in Oak Park. Louis Sullivan built some of the world’s first skyscrapers there. Postmodern pioneer Stanley Tigerman and contemporary impresario Jeanne Gang are based in the city. And for the next three months, Chicago is host to the first architecture biennial in North America.
If these don’t make you believe in God, they’ll at least make you believe in godly design.
New Yorkers quite famously never look up. Photographer Richard Silver wanted to give them a reason to, so he started taking pictures of ceilings. But not just any pictures, and not just any ceilings: Silver’s specialty is taking glorious, vertical panoramas of the architecturally magnificent ceilings of New York cathedrals.
And while it may be, shouldn’t we have the privilege of feeling unique once in a while?
In 2004, the Beastie Boys handed out 50 cameras to fans attending a concert at Madison Square Garden. It was touted as a democratizing media coup. But the culminating product has gone down in history as a fairly mediocre documentary that, as Laura Sinagra put it for the Village Voice, “plays like a hype victory lap rather than a boundary-smashing study of fan curiosity or pathology.”
