The web exploded yesterday after blogger Arun Thampi discovered the app Path sends every contact in a user’s address book to Path’s servers via a. plist upon registering for the service. The .plist includes full names, phone numbers, and e-mails. Path did not ask users to accept the feature, and it went ahead and saved contact information without telling them. Obviously, people have the right to be worried. Path’s CEO Dave Morin issued an apology today after yesterday’s data scare and tried to reassure users about Path’s stance on protecting privacy....

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 During today’s press conference to round out the Los Angeles press junket for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the media asked about some of the extra surprise characters featured in the film, including Sylvester Stallone’s character Stakar Ogord.

Outlander is a breathtakingly beautiful historical fiction drama that tells one of the most romantic stories we have seen on-screen. The love between Jamie and Claire is palpable in every scene. Part of why the show is so successful is in great part to its incredible female lead in Caitriona Balfe - who plays Claire Fraser. Claire Fraser is, of course, the WWII nurse who travels back in time while in Scotland at the standing stones of Craigh Na Dun....

Detailed by cybersecurity researchers at ThreatFabric, the four different forms of malware are delivered to victims via malicious versions of commonly downloaded applications, including document scanners, QR code readers, fitness monitors and cryptocurrency apps. The apps often come with the functions that are advertised in order to avoid users getting suspicious. In each case, the malicious intent of the app is hidden and the process of delivering the malware only begins once the app has been installed, enabling them to bypass Play Store detections....

Being a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is quite the responsibility, but it also has its perks. In the late 1980s, film distributors started sending VHS copies of potential awards contenders to Academy members for their consideration. These ‘screeners’ later included DVD and Blu-ray copies, but with the issue of video piracy growing, this process needed to be legislated. In September 2003, then-MPAA chief Jack Valenti agreed to exempt Academy members from a ban on all screeners, as long as they signed an agreement not to share their copies....

Tom Haverford – or rather, Darwish Sabir Ismael Gani, as he was known before he changed his name to get ahead in politics – is one of the funniest and most popular characters on Parks and Recreation. And that’s a show with a lot of funny and popular characters, so it’s saying a lot that he stands out so much. Played hilariously by Aziz Ansari, he had a number of classic quotes over the years, and we’ve gathered the best of them....

The Echo Dot especially has been met with praise from just about everyone that uses it. 9to5Toys named it the product of the year for 2016 and it was one of the top gift items during the holiday season. If anything, the success of Echo should prove to Apple that there really is a market for standalone speakers with integrated virtual assistants. Earlier this year, Ben Lovejoy asked if Apple really needs to make a Siri Speaker or just improve Siri....

Steve Jobs famously declared back in 2010 that Android was a stolen product, and he was willing to “go thermonuclear war” in order to “destroy” it. Back in April, I suggested three reasons it might be time for Apple to settle its Android disputes and move on. The relatively small damages award in the most recent case (and which now looks set to be further reduced) provided a fourth reason not long after I wrote that piece....

Yesterday, well-respected venture capitalist Mary Meeker released her annual Internet Trends Report. Inside the over 200 slide PowerPoint were some interesting numbers relating to the continuing battle between iOS and Android. As we reported last night, Meeker’s report showed iOS continue to decline in marketshare, while Android continues to gain. In many ways, the current split between Android and iOS in terms of market share and unit shipments is very similar to the split between Mac and PC shipments and marketshare....

Recently, game director Jeff Kaplan responded to rumors of an Overwatch hero ban system by explaining that this would only serve to create a “ban meta” and wouldn’t address balance issues or change up the meta much....
