Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageA bit of a giveaway? Stuart Police Department/ Facebook I've never been on the run, though some days I think I know what it feels like.I feel sure, however, that if I was trying to evade capture by the police, I would check my Facebook page to make sure there wasn't anything incriminating on it.This was allegedly not the case with Mack Yearwood.As the Stuart Police Department in Florida said on its Facebook page: "If you are wanted by the police, it's probably not a good idea to use the 'Wanted of the Week' poster of yourself as your profile pic."The Stuart police were looking for Yearwood in connection to an accusation of battery.They thought it might be a good idea to check out his Facebook page to see what they could find. And there they say they found an image of Yearwood in a wanted poster from , ...ادامه مطلب

In some cases, it's said that colleges are so desperate to persuade these young men to join their athletic programs that schools hire attractive young women to increase the attraction of the school.Once athletes are on the team, though, might they continue to enjoy the attention of women?

Enlarge ImageFacebook's censorship policies are a confusing mess. James Martin/CNET After Korryn Gaines entered her Baltimore apartment earlier this month, she pulled out a shotgun and then her phone. She opened the Instagram and Facebook apps so she could post details of her standoff with the police. Facebook cut her off. Gaines wasn't the first black person to post about a run-in with the police. Others include Philando Castile, whose fiancee streamed live video on Facebook as he died after a police officer shot him in July. A few days later, a protester streamed a sniper attack on Dallas police on the social network. But her clash marked a tuing point in the conversation about Facebook's role in empowering speech.

Enlarge ImageApps like this remind me that I'm old. Facebook In your face, Snapchat!Kids still say that sort of thing, right? How about: The '00s called and they want their app back! Well, it's late on a Friday, and Facebook has quietly released a new app, called Lifestage. And while its name might suggest the target market is caterpillars, this is actually for teens -- aka not me. Like other apps not built for me, it's somewhat confusing. But the gist of it is that you (the younger version of you, who was able to eat french fries dipped in milkshakes any time you damn well pleased) create a profile using your phone number (remember those?) and your name. Then Lifestage has you take photos or videos of various things, with categories such as what you "like" and "dislike," "how I dance" and "my best friend,if you can read this socks,if you can read this,if you can,if you can't hang,if you can keep it,if you can't take the heat,if you can dream,if you can't love yourself,if you can see me now,if you can only see ...ادامه مطلب

Screenshot by Stephen Shankland/CNET It's a match made in nerd heaven. Minecraft, Microsoft's tremendously popular video game, now works on Facebook's Oculus Rift headset, a highly regarded entrant into the new world of virtual reality. "We'd like to welcome you to the game all over again, because it's a fantastic new experience in VR, even if you're a Minecraft veteran," Mike McGrath, a Minecraft developer who helped build the software, said Monday in a blog post. The version requires people to use the Windows 10 beta-test version of Minecraft, which is free to those who already bought Minecraft for personal computers. Otherwise it costs $10. In the game, players explore a blocky 3D world, digging for resources, building shelters and crafting weapons to fend off mo, ...ادامه مطلب

Users can also jazz up their photos with filters. Sound familiar? Facebook Facebook is basically Snapchat's little sister right now and wants to copy everything she does. The social-networking giant unveiled on Friday a tweak to its mobile app, a new main screen it's trying out in Canada and Brazil that looks a lot like Snapchat's home screen, according to BuzzFeed.The potential feature demonstrates just how much inspiration Facebook gets from Snapchat. On Tuesday, Facebook-owned Instagram added an element called Stories, which looks nearly identical to Snapchat Stories.The new home screen in the Facebook app opens up with a forward-facing live camera screen for still shots and videos. As in Snapchat, users can manipulate their images with filters and facial overlays, thanks to Facebook's March purchase of startup Masquerade.Facebook believes a focus on sharing photos and videos makes sense because written posts are becoming a thing of the past. Facebook plans to adopt the feature globally if testing goes well, BuzzFeed reported. Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

[embedded content] Who doesn't delight in a great television love story? And no, I'm not talking about the endlessly frustrating "will they or won't they?" trope. I'm talking about my favorite kind of pairing -- the bromance. The bromance celebrates best friends. It's just two dudes, supporting one another. Troy and Abed from "Community." Joey and Chandler of "Friends." Turk and JD from "Scrubs." And let's not forget our new favorite bromance: Gilfoyle and Dinesh from "Silicon Valley." Sure, they bicker. They wish each other dead. But the love is there. Check out the above rom-com trailer HBO Home Entertainment put together from season 3, which came out on Digital HD this week. The video, posted Monday, highlights the most "friendly" banter between Gilfoyle and Dinesh. At least we have Jared to point out the dynamic duo's chemistry. Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب
