Here’s how to stop it.
LONDON, England (PNN) - March 28, 2018 - In June of 2016, as Instagram celebrated reaching 500 million monthly users, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, posted a photo of himself enjoying the moment. The photo quickly went viral, not because people like Zuckerberg, but because it showed the owner of a company - that requests permission to record through your camera and microphone - with tape over both his camera and microphone. Now, we know why.
SAN DIEGO, Kalifornia (PNN) - March 24, 2018 - Worried about your child’s smartphone use getting out of hand? You should be. A new study finds that teens who are hooked on their phones and other digital devices are markedly unhappier than their less-plugged-in peers.
HANOVER, New Hampshire - March 12, 2018 - Alec Baldwin is to some a perfect stand-in for Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump. But in a digitally altered video online, the president's face has been digitally stamped onto Baldwin's performance.
It's part of a wave of doctored audio and video now spreading online.
In this exclusive clip, Tyson asks Professor Stephen Hawking your standard softball interview question: what was around before the Big Bang? In other words, what happened before the moment the universe began? Check out Hawking’s answer.
March 2, 2018 - Hawking says the universe had no clear “bang”. You can wind back the clock to the edges of those first moments of existence, but asking what came before would be like asking why you can keep walking north when you get to the North Pole. Time, as we define it, loses its meaning as the universe shrinks down.
It never quite narrows to a single point. But no one has proved physics works like that - yet.
BARCELONA, Catalonia (PNN) - February 28, 2018 - The moon will get its first mobile phone network next year, enabling high-definition streaming from the lunar landscape back to earth, part of a project to back the first privately funded Moon mission.
TULSA, Oklahoma (PNN) - February 5, 2018 - Thousands of planets have been detected outside of the Milky Way Galaxy for the first time in a landmark discovery by a group of esteemed astronomers.
Experts have long known that planets would not be confined to our galaxy, but this is the first time that a celestial body has been discovered outside of the Milky Way.
MOUNT CARMEL, Israel (PNN) - January 25, 2018 - A skull fragment discovered in a cave in Israel over a decade ago has now been dated using several different testing methods to an age of between 177,000 and 194,000 years old, setting a new record in world's oldest human fossil outside of Africa.
While DNA analysis on modern human populations has hinted that we've been swanning about outside of the African continent for as long as 220,000 years, the fossil adds fresh perspective on our first steps into the far corners of the globe.
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 28, 2017 - As Amerikan Gestapo Transportation Security Administration division agents continue to prove their incompetence in the “War on Terror,” the Amerikan Gestapo Department of Homeland Security division is now allocating $1 billion in taxpayer funding to create a facial recognition program that will illegally scan Amerikans’ faces.
MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - December 22, 2017 - Your digital security, any sufficiently paranoid person will remind you, is only as good as your physical security. The world's most sensitive users of technology, like dissidents, activists, or journalists in repressive regimes, have to fear not just hacking and online surveillance, but the reality that terrorist pig thug cops, intelligence agents, or other intruders can simply break into your home, office, or hotel room. They can tamper with your computers, steal them, or bodily detain you until you cough up passwords or other secrets.
