The feds have asked both Google and Apple to help it break into smartphones at least 63 times, according to data published Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union. About 90 percent of the requests were directed toward Appl..>> view originalScientists nearly double sea level rise projections for 2100, because of Antarctica

It felt like an undercover operation: On Tuesday night, while Microsoft executives were rehearsing their keynote presentations for Microsoft Build, I was in a hotel room next door to the conference venue, testing out what everyone would be coming to see: the HoloLens Development Edition. This is actually the third time I’ve gone hands-on with HoloLens hardware, and it's clear Microsoft has used the last 15 months of HoloLens development to craft a remarkably polished experience.

Ubuntu (not Linux) on Windows: How it works
Yes, Microsoft is going to enable users to run Bash natively on Windows 10, and yes Ubuntu on the next major Windows 10 update, Redstone. How the heck did they do that? First, Ubuntu parent company Canonical and Microsoft will be running it not on Linux in a container or virtual machine (VM), but on Windows native libraries and programs: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). WSL was quietly placed in the Windows 10 (build 14251) code in late January. A few days later, a developer worked out..>> view originalMicrosoft Build's biggest reveals: Super-smart bot butlers and the future of Windows

It turns out a tiny hominin nicknamed the “Hobbit” may have disappeared from the Indonesian island of Flores much earlier than scientists originally thought. When it was first discovered in 2003 in the Liang Bua cave, an international team concluded that H. floresiensis was 18,000 years old and bone fragments were deposited there from 12,000 and 95,000 years ago.
