Apple poaching auto engineers to build battery division: lawsuit
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/19/us-apple-autos-lawsuit-idUSKBN0LN04Y20150219
Earlier this month, just as tax season was nearing its peak, 19 states and Intuit - the maker of TurboTax software - noticed a surge of fraudulent state-tax filings prepared with TurboTax.
In some cases, the fraudulent state and federal filings include data apparently taken from TurboTax clients' 2013 tax returns, according to state tax officials and taxpayers.
Some good Q and A here.

Father of the internet: 'If we don’t move now, we risk losing all the data we’ve created in the 21st century'

A 22-year-old made the ultimate guide on how to use Snapchat
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-use-snapchat-2015-2
We talked to a bunch of millennials about why they use Snapchat — here's what we found out
users want to share their lives to anyone they choose to elicit possible feedback, but without the necessity of it being stored. Facebook allows you to upload images, but who wants to see 30 images and a few videos of a concert or you playing with your dog? And further, who wants to save or even hold on to that (including you)?
Anyone over the age of 35 registered on Snapchat is probably also registered on Family WatchDog.
I'll never in my life use Snapcash. Snapchat has been hacked one too many times for me to see Snapcash as a viable option for peer-to-peer money exchange.
