Sweet Little Soul by Lizzy Gadd

A refreshing throwback to this moment a couple winters ago. I can feel tingles of excitement creeping up on me as my very favourite fall and winter seasons are slowly approaching... but first, gotta enjoy every last drop of summer. :)

Unexpected trove of gas discovered around larger stars  
Astronomers using ALMA surveyed dozens of young stars -- some Sun-like and others approximately double that size -- and discovered that the larger variety have surprisingly rich reservoirs of carbon monoxide gas in their debris disks. In contrast, the lower-mass, Sun-like stars have debris disks that are virtually gas-free.

Apple could add tap-to-pay support to iPhone 7 in Japan, but it's not NFC  

Apple might be looking to introduce a new tap-to-pay feature to its upcoming line of iPhones exclusively for customers living in Japan, Bloomberg reports. Instead of using NFC  similarly to its Apple Pay service in North America, Europe and Australia the iPhone maker will opt for a Sony-built technology called FeliCa that currently dominates the mobile tap-to-pay market in Japan. With this move, Apple is looking to offer customers in Japan a quick and easy way of using their iPhones for public transport payments. The feature will also be widely supported at various vending machines, convenient stores and retailers across the country. Ditching NFC in favor of FeliCa makes sense.…

Stanford speech recognition study suggests you should give dictation apps a chance  

Even though voice recognition is now available on more apps and devices than ever, I rarely find myself using the feature to dictate text or issue commands. I've certainly noticed improvements in the past few years, but it can still be awkward and inaccurate. A new study conducted by researchers at Stanford University, the University of Washington and Chinese search firm Baidu suggests that I should probably try it more often. According to the paper (PDF), which was published earlier this week, speech recognition tools have been found to be three times faster than typing for English and Mandarin text…

Apple issues critical iOS update to thwart ‘Pegasus' malware  

Security researchers have identified a three-headed monster that could be used to record sounds, collect passwords, read text messages, record calls and track users. All iOS versions 9.3.4 and below are vulnerable. The attack utilizes a mobile spyware product, ‘Pegasus,' created by NSO Group — an Israeli cyber warfare company — designed to attack high-value targets. Using one of three known iOS 9.3.4 security vulnerabilities — dubbed ‘Trident' — the exploit is capable of hijacking an iPhone or iPad with a single click. According to Mike Murray, VP of Security Research and Response at cyber security firm Lookout: The Trident vulnerability chain is the first…

Domino's is now testing a drone delivery program that drops pizza from the heavens  

Joining a growing list of companies that aspire to deliver consumer products by drone, Domino's today launched its commercial drone delivery service in New Zealand. The project is a partnership between Domino's and Flirtey — a drone delivery startup — and it's set to launch later this year in test markets. Not every pizza will be delivered by drone, however. Domino's is committed to testing the service alongside traditional deliveries via car or scooter, at least for now. Not all menu items will be eligible for drone delivery and those that are will only be delivered by sky if they'll decrease…

Assange: WikiLeaks will reveal ‘thousands' more Clinton documents before the election  

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange promised he's not done leaking information that could be damaging to Hillary Clinton. During an interview yesterday with Fox's Megyn Kelly he said the documents would be “significant” in perhaps turning the tide of the 2016 election by giving voters a better understanding who they're electing. According to Assange: We have a lot of pages of material, thousands of pages of material. I don't want to give the game away, but it's a variety of different types of documents from different institutions that are associated with the election campaign. There are some unexpected angles that are…

Ex-pornstar just dropped a ridiculous lawsuit on Facebook's doorstep  

A former pornstar, Paree La'Tiejira (aka Lady Paree) is suing Facebook after alleging founder Mark Zuckerberg and Co. conspired to ruin her porn career. In the suit, Paree claims Zuckerberg did nothing to stop the rumor that she was born a man from spreading on Facebook, thus ending her ability to find work. After receiving death threats on the platform and trying fruitlessly to stop the rumor mill, Paree is seeking $1 billion in federal court, accusing the social media site and its CEO of libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Paree has a history of this sort of behavior. In 2009…

This is something we don't have to tell our readers, but it's recommended for everyone — especially those with a Windows PC — to have a virus scanner installed. Luckily the world isn't devoid of heroes just yet. Every so often, security researcher Andrew Brandt gets one of his testbed computers and throws as much malware and adware on it as he can get his hands on. The tweetstorm he put on his account explains the different things the mass of horrible software on his computer is doing to it. Among other things, the software secretly installed a bitcoin miner…

Tristan Walker: Don't Overthink Your World-Changing Idea  

Walker & Co. Founder and CEO, Tristan Walker didn't always see himself trying to build a health and beauty products company. In fact, he tried to cure childhood obesity, start a bank, and build a freight truck fixing company first, which were very big, very complicated ventures he knew little about before he created Bevel, that directly related to a familiar problem. However, when it came time for investments, he received more “no's” than he thought possible, but managed to push himself even harder. “I knew it wasn't a bad idea because I felt no one could work this thing better than we could,” Walker says. 

In this interview, Walker takes us through the journey of starting his company, shares how he overcame his toughest trials, and why hiring the same kind of people may even be a good thing. 

Walker is Founder and CEO of Walker & Co. Brands, a company that makes health and beauty simple for people of color. Its flagship brand, Bevel, is the first and only shaving system clinically proven to reduce and prevent razor bumps and irritation. Tristan is also the Founder and Chairman of CODE2040, a program that matches high performing black and latino undergraduate and graduate coders and software engineering students with Silicon Valley start-ups for summer internships.
