News/business

Hackers are targeting nuclear power plants now! [nytimes] Could be espionage, could be sabotage, whatever. This is fine...

Ticketmaster will soon let you in to events if your phone shrieks at the bouncer [venturebeat]. Oh, sure, but when I shriek at a bouncer I'm "causing a scene" and "freaking everyone out" and "eventually beaten to a pulp by the bouncer".

There's Versioning for another week. I'll be back with some more next week. Over the weekend I'll be playing with the stock market. That's what I call my "stock footage enthusiastis" site. It's been less than lucrative so far. I'll actually probably spend the weekend on Zelda, training my two horses (LeBrony and Bojack). Back next week!

Pass this around to ya'll acquaintances!
