How AI Could End Stupid Thanksgiving Arguments
I'm writing this before Thanksgiving, which I used to hate and now don't
-- largely because I no longer spend the day arguing with family. I've
been listening to a lot of friends and relatives dread this year's event
because of political discussions that are likely to occur, and the
equally annoying comments and critiques from those who supported both
candidates.

Five Dollar PoisonTap Tool Easily Breaks Into Locked PCs
Proving once again that you can do a lot of damage with a little
investment and a lot of ingenuity, security researcher Samy Kamkar
recently managed to take down a locked, password-protected computer
using a $5 Raspberry Pi. The low-tech cookie-siphoning intrusion is one
of Kamkar's simplest hacks ever. He previously has unlocked car doors,
garages, wireless remote cameras and other devices.

Cyber Grinches Could Disrupt Holidays' Biggest Shopping Weekend
Recent high-profile distributed denial of service attacks on the
Internet's infrastructure and an investigative journalist's website have
spiked concerns over possible disruptions of traffic during the biggest
online shopping weekend of the year. Online spending last year exceeded
$5.8 billion on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to Adobe, and
that figure is expected to go up this year.

Gadgets: Big Bendy Screens, Chatterbox Robots, and TV in the Cloud
I'm at long last about to start setting up my new home office. Goodbye,
Ikea dining table. Hello, fancy new desk. When I actually have my new
setup, I'd like to have a monitor at long last to complement my laptop.
AOC's latest is under serious consideration. The AG352QCX is a 35-inch,
curved behemoth with two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI 2.0 input, VGA, DVI,
audio in and out ports, and DisplayPort 1.2.

One of the Best New VR Things: Buying a Car
I had a fascinating experience last week. I got to see and experience
the new Jaguar I-Pace, the company's electric answer to the as-yet-
unannounced Tesla Y SUV. I didn't just get to see the car -- I got to
understand intimately why the car was created and what went into its
design. I got to experience aspects of the vehicle viscerally, without
actually getting into it.

Friend Finder Data Breach Exposes 400M Swingers
Hackers have stolen information of more than 400 million users of Friend
Finder Networks, which runs several adult dating and pornography
websites, LeakedSource reported. This is Friend Finders' second breach
in two years. Last year, hackers accessed 4 million accounts, exposing
information on users' sexual preferences and extramarital affairs. More
than 412 million users were compromised.
