Parents, this toy is really important

Image
The ' Lammily ' wheelchair hopes to teach kids and parents about inclusivity. The toy has already made a big impact with kids who have played with it.  The wheelchair was designed by Nickolay Lamm, who designed the widely popular 'Lammily' dolls. These dolls depict realistic body types and went viral when released.  The hope is that the wheelchair will see the same success. Lamm has committed to giving 5 percent of the proceeds to charity. Sounds like a win/win.  Read more...

Twitter is still full of trolls but says it's getting better at dealing with abuse

Image
It's been more than six months since Twitter decided it should finally start taking its troll problem seriously . The good news: Twitter says its many updates to address abuse and improve its reporting process are working. The service is now "taking action on" 10 times more abusive accounts, compared with this time last year, according to new stats released today. SEE ALSO: Why celebrities leave Twitter The bad news: Twitter is still filled with trolls even as Twitter steps up its efforts to fight them. Many high profile celebrities have left the platform due to abuse (but not, apparently, Ed Sheeran who says he's simply taking a "break" from the service). And despite some fixes, Twitter's existing reporting process often fails its users, according to an exhaustive investigation from BuzzFeed . Read more...

Sports fans finally have a streaming TV bundle (but you'd better like soccer)

Image
Crawl, walk, run.  That's how David Gandler has taken FuboTV, in the span of a few years, from streaming tape-delayed German soccer to offering one of the most complete—and sports-heavy—streaming TV packages available. It's particularly impressive considering FuboTV is the only independent service not run by a major media company like YouTube, Hulu, or DirecTV. Or, as one of his angel investors put it, FuboTV is like a kite dancing in the hurricane (yea, it's a James Bond Skyfall quote). "You've got big media companies that have big egos," said Gandler, CEO and one of FuboTV's three cofounders. "In many cases, you have distributors that want to undercut you with every opportunity and have deep pockets, so it just makes for a very complicated business." Read more...

I'm giving up on Snapchat because it's way too bloated

Image
Snapchat , buddy, we need to talk. How long have we been best friends now? If I recall correctly, it's been about two years. We've had a lot of good times, and even though I didn’t always understand you, the more we hung out, the more I was able to appreciate you. I knew we passed a major milestone when, after about six months, I bumped Facebook off my home screen just to see more of you. Your Stories were hilarious, and I loved telling my own. SEE ALSO: Snapchat's latest update changes the app in a fundamental way There was a short period when I couldn't wrap my mind around you. I'd delete all my selfies and craggy doodles shortly after posting them — but then I finally started to embrace your ephemerality. Read more...

Donald Trump thinks Macron loves holding his hand and for once we kinda agree

Image
Trump and Macron, Macron and Trump. Just a few days from what has probably gone down in history as the longest (and most awkward) handshake ever, the U.S. president has shared some insight into that fateful encounter.  SEE ALSO: Trump and Macron's handshake might be the longest handshake in the history of handshakes During an interview with three New York Times reporters — Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, and Maggie Haberman — in the Oval Office, Trump talked about his visit to France for Bastille Day.  Haberman then commented saying Macron "was very deferential to you."  To which Trump responded: "He’s a great guy. Smart. Strong. Loves holding my hand." Here's the whole exchange. Note that Trump reiterates three times his opinion that Macron has a fetish for his teeny-tiny hands: Read more...

Filipinos are confused about Ivanka Trump's party snack choice

Image
Ivanka Trump may know a little more about Filipino food traditions than the average American, going by the dish she served up this week. On Tuesday, Trump threw her daughter, Arabella, a birthday party where she served hot dog franks on skewers, topped with melted marshmallows. Yeah, it's not a dish you see very often. SEE ALSO: Trump's 'Made in America' week is already failing and it's not even Tuesday She shared the peculiar combination on Instagram Stories, and it raised plenty of eyebrows from American users on social media.

Footage shows plane's impressive emergency landing on a highway

Image
There are lots of things you may have to deal when traveling down the highway, such as traffic, bad drivers, or weather.  But sharing the road with an actual plane is definitely something no one expects to happen driving along a freeway. Motorists traveling along the Sunrise Highway in Long Island, New York, were shocked to see a small plane make a safe emergency landing directly in front of their car on Wednesday. After successfully touching down, the plane managed to pull over to the side of the road without even disrupting traffic. It seems everything went as smoothly as possible, showing that this pilot may be better at navigating traffic in a plane than some drivers on the roads. Read more...

Not again: Hackers steal $32 million worth of Ethereum

Image
Ethereum has become a top target for hackers.  The promising cryptocurrency that's also a platform for decentralized applications has skyrocketed in value over the last six months (though it also had a serious drop in price in the last couple of weeks). But hacker attacks and theft of ether have become commonplace, and the last one is one of the worst so far.  An unknown hacker or a group of hackers exploited a vulnerability in the way in which Parity, an Ethereum wallet, implemented multi-sig wallets, stealing some 153,000 worth of ether, which was valued around $32 million at the time of theft.  Read more...

New findings reveal humans have been in Australia earlier than we thought

Image
The Indigenous people of Australia have lived there for a very, very long time, but just how long has been a source of contention. Now there's perhaps a more concrete answer. New evidence published in the journal Nature points to humans inhabiting Australia for 65,000 years — much earlier than the 47,000 years estimated by some archaeologists. SEE ALSO: Morocco fossils push back the timeline on human origins It's the result of more than 10,000 artefacts discovered at the lowest layer of a site called the Madjedbebe rock shelter, which uncovers some of the complex behaviour of the earliest modern humans.

'Despacito' deemed too saucy for Malaysian radio

Image
You won't be able to hear catchy hit song "Despacito" on any of Malaysia's 44 public radio stations any time soon. That's because public broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has banned the Luis Fonsi single, following complaints from conservative Muslim groups. SEE ALSO: 'Despacito' is officially the song of summer, and here’s why The broadcaster decided to pull the song from radio play, because its lyrics were too explicit, the country's Communications and Multimedia Minister, Salleh Said Keruak, told news agency Bernama . "We ask the radio stations to be sensitive to local norms and apply self-censorship of the song," the minister said , adding that stations should either take it down from airwaves or censor explicit parts of the song.  Read more...
