Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageA winning sell? Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET Donald Trump hasn't quite become the rock star with millennials that he is with more disceing types.Neither has Hillary Clinton. Recent polling suggests that 37 percent of the young and restless have a strongly unfavorable opinion of the Democratic candidate. Then again, 50 percent feel the same strongly negative way about her Republican opponent.How can the Trump campaign address this troubling trend in the race to the bottom? On Friday, it offered a twin-pronged attack. First, it posted an ad to Instagram. Second, the ad featured not Trump's magisterial features, but those of his three most well-known adult children.Posted to Donald Trump Jr's account, the ad shows the three kids staring stely into the camera, as if they represent the hope and, ...ادامه مطلب

This is part of our Road Trip 2016 summer series "Life, Disrupted," about how technology is helping with the global refugee crisis -- if at all.The main street in Mytilene, on the Greek island of Lesvos, wraps around the green-tinted Aegean like a horseshoe. Brightly painted buildings line the road while wooden sailboats bob near the pier. It's beautiful.It's also where I bump into Waleed, a young boy I'd met earlier that day at the gate of the Kara Tepe refugee camp just outside town.He was fishing with two other migrants.I ask where his mom is. He points back toward the camp. "Kara Tepe," he tells me.And his father?"Dad. Syria. Psh, Psh," he says, pointing a finger to his head while imitating the sound of gunfire.I say, "I'm sorry," but he shrugs it off. That's life in Syria, where he came from.

This is part of our Road Trip 2016 summer series "Life, Disrupted," about how technology is helping with the global refugee crisis -- if at all. Most people think of Greece as a great place to escape from the stress of everyday life. But not to the more than 57,000 people now trapped there. In 2015, more than 1.1 million refugees and migrants fled war and chaos in the Middle East and Africa to seek shelter in Europe. More than two-thirds of them came through Greece on their way to places like Germany, Sweden and the UK. That changed in March, when an agreement between the EU and Turkey -- combined with nearby countries' decisions to close their borders to migrants -- transformed Greece from an entry point to a dead end. Yet they still come. Even knowing they face life in limbo, refugees are coming to Greece in increasing numbers, hoping the EU will let them in, The Wall Street Joual reported this week.

This is part of our Road Trip 2016 summer series "Life, Disrupted," about how technology is helping with the global refugee crisis -- if at all. The email was a shock. "Unfortunately, my application for residence permit has been rejected," wrote Safinaz Awad, a Syrian computer programmer who until that moment in early August represented a success story for asylum seekers in Sweden.Jonathan Persson of Stockholm startup Bigspin stands with employee Safinaz Awad. Sweden has deferred Awad's asylum application to Greece.

More than 6,000 people fled war and slogged across a continent to get to a refugee camp in northe France. Now they endure political hostility in a place they don't want to be. Sudanese, Afghans, Chadians, Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians and others live in a Calais camp known as the Jungle, and another in Grande-Synthe about 25 miles east, because the camps are the closest jumping-off points to the UK, the country they want to be in. That's where many refugees, who often speak English, have family and friends. My colleague Rich Trenholm and I visited the camps in June to get a feel for how technology is -- or isn't -- helping refugees. Mobile phones provide a psychologically important link, but they can't help refugees scale 15-foot steel-mesh fences topped with razor wire or climb into moving trucks headed to the UK.

Most people think of Greece as a great place to escape from the stress of everyday life. But not to the more than 57,000 people now trapped there. In 2015, thousands of refugees and migrants fled war and chaos in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq and headed to Europe seeking shelter. A year later, many are living in squalid camps and abandoned buildings in Greece, waiting for asylum or a chance at legal residence in the European Union. During a 10-day trip in June, we talked to officials, migrants and activists in Athens, Lesvos -- the Greek island where most refugees first set foot in Europe last year -- and Thessaloniki, near the closed border of Macedonia, shutting migrants' way out. Our mission: to see if the technology that many of us use every day -- phones, the inteet, messaging apps, social networks -- is helping during this crisis. Or not. We met people from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Morocco and Somalia, all on a jouey they hoped would take them to safer and better lives. Everyone (except the children) has a phone. All rely on the inteet to lea what's new and important. Facebook is a tool for escape and escapism. Power strips are the new watercoolers. Here are a few stories of their stories.Google it Five men sit around a battered, wooden patio table just outside the gate at Kara Tepe, an official refugee camp on Lesvos.

[embedded content] It's hard to top the greatest food convenience since sliced bread, but the Le Bread Xpress vending machine might be it. Dispensing warm baguettes from a machine, Le Bread Xpress wants to make sure hungry clients can grab their favorite French staple whenever their hearts desire. The loafs are partially cooked when they are loaded into the machine, then completely baked when ordered. Benoit Herve, the company's CEO and founder, said on the company's website that the idea came from his search for a baguette in the San Francisco area."I then discovered a French baker who has built a micro-bakery to deliver freshly baked baguettes from the oven on-demand 24/7," Herve said.The machine uses a cloud-based interface. Patrons can pay for the baguettes via cash, credit card, Android Pay and Apple Pay. Currently, the only Le Bread Xpress can be found in San Francisco.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Enlarge ImageApple's summer camps are aimed at 8- to 12-year-olds. Katie Collins/CNET Never before have I heard such a commotion in an Apple Store. And I've covered iPhone launches. The hoots and yelps of a dozen children echo around the historic brick and glass building in London's Covent Garden Piazza. This is day two of Apple Camp, and an important race is under way. Everyone is bunched around in the "theater," tucked away at the back of the second floor, so one kid is climbing a stone column for a better view. Others are crouched on the floor clutching iPads like their lives depend on it. Everyone, regardless of age, is enthralled. It's not safe to take even a single step across the floor, which is buzzing with Spheros -- spherical toy robots that scuttle this way and that. There's no way of telling which way they might hurtle next, unless you are the kid controlling the little bot. In fact, it's remarkable how quickly the children pick up the skills needed to control Sphero. The day's session started with a demo around a computer screen, with an Apple employee showing his young audience how to use the iPad app to control and program Sphero. They didn't need telling twice.Enlarge ImageThe kids get to play with Sphero bots, leaing how to code them to move and change color. Katie Collins/CNET Apple has been running its summer camps in its stores for several years now, but this is the first time it's introduced specific coding and robotics sessions. Through iPads, the cute rolling robot Sphero and the programming language Tynker, this three-day camp teaches core coding skills to children aged 8 to 12. It's one of several initiatives, including ones from Microsoft and Google, designed to inspire and teach the next generation of tech talent. But this isn't a recruitment workshop as much as it is a , ...ادامه مطلب

Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, told Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that experts say Russian hackers are behind the leaked emails from the Democratic National Convention released Friday disparaging Democratic primary candidate Beie Sanders. Screenshot of CNN's State of the Union" Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Sunday accused the Russians of releasing inteal emails to help Republican Donald Trump win the presidential election.On CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday moing Robby Mooks, who heads up Clinton's campaign, told Jake Tapper that "experts" have told the campaign that "Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually helping Donald Trump." He added that he didn't think it was "coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention." Mook didn't provide evidence that Russians are behind the hack or release of emails, but when pressed by Tapper emphasized the accusations came from unnamed "experts."Last month, the DNC revealed that hackers believed to be working for two different Russian intelligence agencies had broken into its servers and accessed research the party had amassed on Donald Trump, leading up to the general election. The Clinton campaign is now suggesting that the Russians also accessed inteal emails regarding the contentious Democratic primary. On Friday, Wikileaks released emails that showed DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other DNC staffers disparaging the Beie Sanders campaign. In one email, staffers dismissed Sanders' campaign as "a mess" and added that his campaign "never had their act together." The 20,000 pages of hacked emails nearly overshadowed Clinton's announcement Saturday that Virginia Senator Tim Kaine would run as her vice president. Clinton's campaign has previously, ...ادامه مطلب

Deezer, a French subscription-music service like Spotify or Apple Music, launched in the US Tuesday, bringing another contender to the world's biggest music market. Though popular in its native France, Deezer has struggled to widen its reach to the competitive US market. It tried a stealth entry into the US nearly two years ago, offering its service to people who have Sonos and Bose speakers and later to customers of AT&T's Cricket Wireless mobile provider. Last year, Deezer abandoned a plan to go public. The company said Tuesday that Deezer is available in the US on Apple, Android and Windows devices, as well as through its own website. Like Spotify and Apple Music, Deezer provides an all-you-can-eat catalog of millions of songs for a monthly $10 fee, and it is offering free trials to new users for 30 days.Deezer differs from some rivals by including news, podcasts and live radio in its catalog. But like many, and for the same price, it also touts its team of music experts and data analysis as assets for making personalized music recommendations for you.

If you live in a landlocked city or state, you may never have been required to defend your al fresco lunch from a pack of hungry and determined seagulls. But it's enough of a problem in some areas of Australia, apparently, that technology has come to the rescue.Hungry Jack's, the company that franchises and oversees Burger King's presence in Australia, decided it was time to do something about bird burglars who were snatching french fries (chips, to Australians). In a video in which seagulls are dubbed "pincer-mouthed, chip-addicted feather reptiles," the company presents its solution: A fry container that scares gulls. "Printed on holographic paper, the glittering surface reflects light, and protects our new thick-cut chips," the company promises, noting that the new wrappers have been released in "gull-infested areas around the country.""Finally, Aussies can enjoy their thick-cut chips in peace," the ad claims, showing a gull faced with fries in two cartons, and choosing to steal from the non-holographic one.Not all Aussies are buying it. "I thought shiny things attracted birds?" wrote one YouTube viewer. "This is such a bad idea."And one viewer questioned the timing, considering the season in Australia at the moment. "GREAT IDEA! Now no pesky seagulls are gonna steal chips from my warmed-up house because it's winter."This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service - if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.Recommended article from FiveFilters.org: Most Labour MPs in the UK Are Revolting., ...ادامه مطلب
