Today’s bombshell that was dropped on the Internet, especially fans of Bitcoin, is that Newsweek claims to have found The Satoshi Nakamoto. The same Satoshi Nakamoto that founded the highly complex and revolutionary Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
Skybox Imaging is a company that has just started offering customers 90-second video of any point on Earth from its SkySat-1 satellite, providing the ability to monitor what’s going on down here on Earth from space.
I’ve recently been interested in finally making the move from Apple iOS to Android, however, have had several reservations about it. Mostly due to the fact that I have been an Apple ‘fanboy’ for a few years now, and moving over would including dumping all apps I currently use, and having to start over on Android. It’s a daunting thought.
As if Mt.Gox customers didn’t already have enough to worry about, they now have to worry about their personal information, and sensitive identifying information being in the hands of hackers or anyone else for that matter.
If you think someone is out to get you online, writing hateful messages, creating fake profiles trolling you, writing in forums about you, and more, it might not be that far off base to think it’s a plot against you. If you are in the sights of the NSA, there is a good chance that they are trolling you and you don’t even know it.
Well, I am hoping this news today brings some closure to a lot of folks out there with bitcoins stuck on Mt.Gox, that will never see the light of day again due to the incompetence of one Bitcoin exchange.
Sometimes we just need to find the humor when times are rough. And I must tell you, I couldn’t stop laughing all the way through this video, where Hitler gets goxed, too. Obviously it’s a play on the old Hitler Reacts meme, which is now a classic. Well done Internet, well done.
Welp, I can’t say that none of us are surprised to see this. I knew after reading about the Mt.Gox collapse, theft, possible insider trading, and more speculation, that the Federal Government would use this as ammo to regulate the hell out of Bitcoin.
A lot has transpired in the past 24 hours in the Bitcoin world. If you’ve been paying attention, you probably have a good idea of what is happening, but even then, so much happened over night that it’s hard to make heads and tails of it.
Facebook bought the mobile messaging app WhatsApp for a groundbreaking $19 billion in cash and stock in a landmark deal that places the world’s largest social network closer to the heart of mobile communications and may bring younger users into the fold.
Hackathons are traditionally fast-paced coding sessions by several programmers, to develop some utility quickly. Most are done in 24-hour long caffeine fueled sessions, and usually the prize is recognition, an awesome app or website, and sometimes cash. Coinbase is starting their own hackathon, but it’s slightly different.
Twitter is great for social networking and news consumption. But something that has always been missing is a native option for users to purchase items directly through the platform. Facebook and Google+ don’t have direct-to-buy options, so if Twitter had an e-commerce option, it would set it above everyone else.
Gotta love science! This is a fun science experiment anyone can do at home. It’s simple. All you need is an empty can with a small amount of steaming hot water inside of it, and some ice water. The results when you put the can into the ice water are magical.
It has become overly clear in the past few weeks Apple’s stance on Bitcoin. Bitcoin, the new digital currency that has gotten more popular and seen quite a bit of press coverage in the past several months, has Apple on edge, and it’s now obvious Apple is opposed to bitcoins.
All the big tech companies are doing it. Google has been doing it for years. Facebook just started doing it recently. Yahoo! does it. Now Tumblr is doing it too. I’m talking about a government Transparency Report.
