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. It was another reminder of the pain refugees have faced both at home and in Greece, where they fled to safety.

[embedded content] If you like cowboy hats with your robots, you're probably excited about HBO's new "Westworld" series. HBO released a fresh trailer on Sunday, so brush off your Stetson and get ready for some mechanical people with shotguns and spurs. HBO released a teaser in June, but the new trailer takes a longer, deeper dive into the upcoming series.Michael Crichton, creator of "Jurassic Park," wrote and directed the original 1973 film version of "Westworld." The basic premise is all about what can go wrong in a Weste-themed amusement park populated by robots. Since this is on HBO, we can expect a grittier, more "Game of Thrones"-like vision than we saw in the '70s movie.The trailer starts off like a classic Weste, with a gorgeous river valley landscape view and people on horseback. It then quickly dives into sci-fi territory. Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins (as Westworld's creator) brings some gravitas to the trailer, which ha,news,new york times,newegg,new york and company,new balance,new movies,new york,new orleans,new zealand,new york post ...ادامه مطلب

To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way.

Enlarge Image Google 2016 was a big year for VR, and it's about to get bigger. Google will be launching its Daydream VR platform in a matter of weeks, Bloomberg reports. Alphabet, Google's parent company, is said to be investing big money on content for the platform. Much of this is going toward development of video games and apps, licensing sports leagues and shooting 360-degree videos, many of which include YouTube stars, according to the publication. Daydream is being built into the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system, which launched this week. It said back in May that Samsung, HTC, ZTE, Huawei, Xiaomi, Alcatel, Asus and LG had agreed to make "Daydream ready" smartphones. The idea of the platform is to be the Android of VR.

Enlarge ImageArvind Krishna, a senior vice president at IBM Research Stephen Shankland/CNET Bitcoin has a bad rap as the preferred currency of drug dealers. But that isn't stopping IBM and some of the world's most conservative businesses from tapping into its technological underpinnings. Specifically, Big Blue is interested in the blockchain -- the mechanism Bitcoin uses to publicly record transactions. Today's businesses each have their own records, slowing transactions and triggering problems figuring out who's right when there are disagreements. But the blockchain approach is more cooperative by providing a consistent record that members of a network can see. "The blockchain is about distributed trust," said Arvind Krishna, a senior vice president at IBM Research's Almaden lab, speaking Thursday at a 30th anniversary event.

CBS When the upcoming "Star Trek: Discovery" edges out of port, it will have a woman as the TV series' lead actor.However, she won't be captain, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but rather a lieutenant commander. That character will likely be non-white, boldly going where no Star Trek has gone before, reports Deadline. (CBS is the parent company of CNET publisher CBSInteractive.)"We're going deep into something that was for me always very tantalizing, and [we're telling] that story through a character who is on a jouey that is going to teach her how to get along with others in the galaxy," series creator Bryan Fuller told reporters Wednesday during the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageThis is more of an Android expression. John Moore, Getty Images I have, over the last months, gained a certain impression of Donald Trump.He seems to be a man who has a toothy, charming side and a slightly more boisterous, blowhardy, thin-skinned and insulting side.Naturally, I've gleaned this picture mostly from his Twitter feed. Where else should one go to get a sophisticated image of someone?In recent times, I've noted that there seem to be these two Trumps. One is determined to call Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" and Hillary Clinton "Crooked Hillary." The other says "thank you" a lot and even refers to the Democratic candidate by her real name. I was a touch perplexed, until I was enlightened by stellar visual effects artist Todd Vaziri. He helpfully performed an analysis of Trump's tweets and disceed that the more haughty, critical ones come from an Android device, while the nice ones come from an iPhone.Enlarge ImageA for Android and aggression?

I'm pointing out how easy it is to decode the true author of his tweets)."In essence, there's a suspicion that the Android tweets are written by Trump himself. The iPhone tweets might be penned by his campaign staff, desperate to create a sense of faiess and balance. The Trump campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Emmett Brewer is no taller than the lecte on the stage, so he stands to the side of it to deliver his presentation. He's got a Dennis the Menace hairdo and he's only 10 years old, but I strongly suggest you take him seriously.The topic of his speech today: hacking competitions. He's showing other kids here how to run a capture the flag competition so their friends can lea new skills and trade secrets of how to bend software to their small but mighty wills.That's right, I'm in a room full of kid hackers. They range from the tiny to high school aged, and they want to lea how to break all the things."I like hacking, sniffing, jailbreaking, fuzzing -- all that stuff," Emmett tells the room.This is r00tz Asylum, a kid-centric event at the annual Defcon hacking event in Las Vegas. It started as a place for kids to hang out while their parents attended more mature talks, and over six years it has grown into a full-fledged hacking convention for kids.In a ballroom at the Paris Resort, kids sit at tables on two sides of the room leaing to pick locks and solder circuit boards. In another coer, a hacking competition like the one Emmett described in his talk is taking place. And on the stage, speakers talk frankly about the fun -- and risks -- of hacking."Do you want to do more lock picking?" asks a woman leading a tired-looking kindergarten-age boy."No," he says vaguely and wanders off to the part of room where the soldering is happening.Hacking for the futureFor the first time this year, the conference involved presentations from kids themselves, including Emmett. His dad, Joel Brewer, got him interested in leaing how to set up a hacking competition called capture the flag using a ready-to-use platform designed by Facebook.
