Description A newly belligerent Chinese govement leaves US President Jack Ryan with only a few desperate options in this continuation of the number one New York Times best-selling Tom Clancy series. Jack Ryan is dealing with an aggressive challenge from the Chinese govement. Pawns are being moved around a global chessboard: an attack on an oil platform in Africa, a terrorist strike on an American destroyer, and a storm-tossed American spy ship that may fall into Chinese hands. It seems that President Zhao is determined to limit Ryan's choices in the upcoming G20 negotiations. But there are hints that there's even more going on behind the sc, ...ادامه مطلب

As part of our coverage of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, I talked with a dozen cast members from across the franchise about everything from Star Trek's inclusive message to how it feels to be a sex symbol to nerds. Jeri Ryan didn't want the role at first. The then up-and-comer was trying to kickstart her career after eaing a theater degree and winning the Miss Illinois beauty pageant (she later competed in Miss America, coming in fourth place). "I wasn't remotely interested in science fiction," Ryan said of her pre-Star Trek days. Sure, she'd watched some episodes of the original series. But she'd also heard the shows had a history of stymieing some actor's careers. Then Ryan read about her character, Seven of Nine, a human kidnapped as a young girl by a cybeetic race known as the Borg. She then spends decades participating in the atrocious "assimilation" of other species before she's snatched back by the Voyager crew.

Stack/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET As protests go, it was as silent as you could get.While the rest of his team stood for the national anthem during a preseason game on Friday night, quarterback Colin Kaepeick sat on the bench.When asked about it by NFL.com, Kaepeick explained: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way.

Don't like something some stranger is saying about you on Twitter? The social network has a solution.Twitter launched a new feature on Thursday that allows users to limit the notifications they see to only those sent by users they follow. It doesn't prevent strangers from mentioning you; it just insulates users from being exposed to those tweets. The new feature appear to be part of Twitter's attempt to address the chronic abuse and harassment that occurs daily on the social network. However, the move is little more than a band-aid since the offending tweets will still be present on the network; you are just choosing not to see them.Harassing and abusive tweets, while not a new occurrence on the social network, have received increased scrutiny in recent years.

As the homogenization of social media continues, Twitter followed in Snapchat's wake by adding the ability to apply stickers with embedded hashtags. Now the business justification emerges: brands will be able to offer stickers with their own built-in hashtags so that you can promote for them and allow them to track your stickered tweets. The company's Promoted #Stickers initiative was announced in a blog post on Monday, with Pepsi as the exclusive partner, and the option will be available to "select marketers" with managed accounts. They're pitched to advertisers as "a huge opportunity for brands to drive brand affinity and raise awareness of their message at scale."

Twitter is not responsible for the activities of ISIS on the social network, a federal judge rules. Corbis via Getty Images Twitter cannot be held responsible for ISIS' activities on the social network, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in dismissing a lawsuit that accused the company of providing material support to the militant Islamic group.The lawsuit, which was filed in January by the widow of an American killed in Jordan, accused Twitter of knowingly permitting ISIS to use its network to spread propaganda, attract new recruits and raise funds for terrorist activities. While noting that the ISIS-related killings were "horrific," US District Judge William H. Orrick ruled that the Communications Decency Act immunizes Twitter from liability for the content created by third parties. But he also ruled that plaintiff could file an amended lawsuit.Neither Twitter nor plaintiff's attoeys immediately respon, ...ادامه مطلب

Natalie Kerris has left job as communications chief at Twitter after a little more than five months. Natalie Kerris/Twitter Natalie Kerris, Twitter's vice president for global communications, is leaving the company after a little more than five months on the job.Kerris' departure, which was first reported by BuzzFeed, was confirmed Monday evening in a statement from the San Francisco-based social-networking company."During her time leading communications at Twitter, Natalie helped us share the Twitter story with the world. We are grateful for her energy and enthusiasm and the impact she's had, even in this short time," a Twitter spokesperson said. "We wish her all the best."Kerris did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The departure comes as Twitter struggles to prove its value to investors. Last month, the company reported a 1 percent increase in the number of monthly active users in the second quarter, rising to 313 million from 310 million. Unimpressed investors have pushed the company's stock down nearly 50 percent in the past 52 weeks.Kerris' departure comes less than seven months after a major management shakeup at Twitter in January that saw the departures of head of media Katie Jacobs Stanton, product chief Kevin Weil, engineering chief Alex Roetter and human resources leader Brian "Skip" Schipper.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Enlarge Image Screenshot by Michelle Starr/CNET The latest victim in a long line of high-profile twitter attacks is the CEO of Pokemon Go developer Niantic, John Hanke. On July 31, a series of Tweets was posted to Hanke's 16,000 followers. They were hashtagged "OurMine" and claimed the hack was for Brazil, where Pokemon Go has yet to be released.One tweet also claimed that Hanke's password was "nopass," but the Quora links to the hacker's explanations have been removed. Interestingly, OurMine is a company that claims to assess social network account security, so the hack seems like a marketing stunt, directing users to upgrade account security. Nevertheless, over on the hashtag, the stunt has gained a reaction, including people in Brazil who think the hack is a poor way to get a point across, and players in other countries who object to the recent update to the game.Exactly how OurMine gained access to Hanke's password is unknown. The company did not immediately reply to a request for comment.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Enlarge ImageThis is Kanye trying to make things happen. Twitter screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET Kanye West had clearly had enough.And when Kanye has had enough, he either mounts the stage at an awards show or he does what so many do -- mounts his high horse on Twitter.On Saturday moing, the great entertainer emitted a series of tweets encouraging Apple to buy Tidal.There have been rumors for a little while now that Apple -- with its strong music connections -- would buy Jay Z's not entirely flourishing streaming enterprise.West, as well as other stars such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Jack White were introduced at Tidal's launch as apparent equity partners.So Kanye just wishes Apple would hurry up.In the first of a series of tweets, he mused, "This Tidal Apple beef is fucking up the music game."I hadn't been aware that there was so much of a beef. However, Kanye Kan-tinued: "I need Tim Cook Jay Z Dez Jimmy Larry me and Drake Scooter on the phone or in a room this week!!!"These would be the main players from either side of this alleged T-bone, and when Kanye has a need, that need must be met. With a meeting, for example. You might be wondering what is truly going on. Thankfully, Kanye enlightened further: "Fuck all this dick swinging contest. We all gon [sic] be dead in 100 Years. Let the kids have the music."I fear the kids have quite enough music already. They barely know what to do with it all. Is this all really about the kids having the music? Or is it about Jay Z and his superstar partners finally cashing in on their troubled venture?But then Kanye went in for the kill. Yes, he went for Tim Cook's ego."Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop tying to act like you Steve," he tweeted. It would, of course, be quite wrong for Apple to act as if it was Steve Jobs. Most pe, ...ادامه مطلب

Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks during the final day of the Democratic National Convention. Robyn Beck/Getty Images The Democrats wound down their quadrennial convention with star power. Katy Perry sang. Actors Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and Chloe Grace Moretz were on the bill. Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabaar made an appearance.But the night was all Clinton's. No surprise, Hillary Clinton accepted the party's nomination for president, fulfilling a nearly-decade-long quest and making history along the way as the first woman representing a major party to run for the country's top office.The fact wasn't lost on Twitter: Clinton's acceptance at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia lit up Twitter, Facebook and the rest of social media, which has become a key avenue for the public to discuss politics. Conversations that used to take place over beers in a bar now take place on the inteet's many digital chalkboards. And rather than discuss the issues one-to-one, the conversations on Twitter and Facebook allow voters to speak their minds to everyone at once.Clinton didn't disappoint the inteet. In a speech long on both soaring optimism and sober caution, Clinton made the case the US was a country of inclusion and prosperity. She also took aim at her Republican challenger, Donald Trump, whose campaign has made the case the US is in decline. "He's taken the Republican Party a long way from moing in America to midnight in America," she said. Later, she said, "Love trumps hate," prompting the following tweet: She also offered an olive brach to Sen. Beie Sanders, whose hard-fought campaign revealed cracks in the party. "Your cause," she said, "is our cause."Some observers noted that Sanders seemed unmoved: Even some Republicans said they were moved by Hillary's speech. , ...ادامه مطلب
