America’s largest tech giants would have the public believe that they’re patriotic firms, fighting the good fight for our values at home and abroad. The truth is that these companies are breathtakingly cynical actors who wrap themselves in the Stars and Stripes and then discard them at their earliest convenience. For firms such as Google, Apple, Facebook (Meta) and Amazon to make the case that they are American businesses being unfairly targeted because of their success in order to provide European companies with a competitive edge is disingenuous bordering on laughable, but the tech giants hope to hire enough highly paid lobbyists to smother the truth under a mountain of gold-plated rubbish. But there’s an old saying: by their fruits, ye shall know them. Big Tech’s fruits – their actions – are not patriotic. In fact, they are amoral. American values of free speech, democracy, free enterprise, tough but fair free market competition, and paying what you owe in taxes (not a penny … [Read more...] about Big Tech isn’t patriotic, it’s amoral and cynical

The families of two young girls who were abducted and attacked 46 years ago by a Georgia man who was scheduled to be put to death last week say they are “deeply upset and disappointed” that the execution was halted by a judge and the death warrant was allowed to expire Tuesday. Virgil Delano Presnell Jr., 68, had been scheduled to die May 17. He killed 8-year-old Lori Ann Smith and raped her 10-year-old friend after abducting them in May 1976 as they walked home from school in Cobb County, just outside Atlanta . “These families have suffered this trauma repeatedly and waited patiently for 46 years for closure,” the families said in a joint statement provided exclusively to The Associated Press. “They have remained quiet over these past 46 years but now they feel it is time to speak out about the frustration and anger they have endured during the long judicial process.” Presnell was convicted in August 1976 on charges including malice murder, kidnapping and rape and … [Read more...] about Families of victims upset at delay in Georgia execution

Google’s Chrome web browser is only preventing users from visiting around a quarter of suspicious sites that are likely to be part of phishing scams, Which? has claimed. The consumer group said a study searching the web addresses of 800 newly discovered phishing sites in a web browser saw Chrome block only 28% when used on Windows and 25% on an Apple Mac computer. Which? said it performed the same test across a number of other web browsers, with Mozilla’s Firefox performing the best by blocking access to 85% of sites when used on Windows and 78% on Mac – the best result on both platforms. Phishing scams are those where criminals create messages that look genuine in order to trick consumers into clicking a link to a bogus website where viruses could be installed on their device, or having them hand over personal information which can be used to gain access to financial information or online bank accounts. In response to the findings, a Google spokesman said: … [Read more...] about Google Chrome only blocking a quarter of phishing websites, researchers claim

Twitch could be sued in Texas for removing the channel of the Buffalo mass shooter under a new censorship law. On 14 May, a gunman with a rifle and body armour opened fire at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York in a predominantly Black neighbourhood. It is believed that the suspect had specifically targeted Black victims and, of the thirteen people in total shot, 11 were Black. The gunman streamed the massacre – which is the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in 2022 – on the Amazon-owned streaming platform Twitch. The company said that it took down the video within two minutes of the violence starting; it was then shared on other social media sites. The tragedy, however, comes as a new law in Texas makes it illegal for any social media platform with 50 million or more US monthly users to "block, ban, remove, deplatform, demonetize, de-boost, restrict, deny equal access or visibility to, or otherwise discriminate against expression." It is unclear … [Read more...] about Twitch could be sued for removing Buffalo shooter’s gruesome livestream under Texas ‘censorship’ law

Apple has defended itself against ongoing criticism of the App Store by pointing to the earnings of developers. The company has faced sustained objections to its control over the store, which is the only way to get games and apps onto the iPhone and iPad. Some developers have argued that control means that Apple is able to exercise unfair control over the App Store, including the 30 per cent cut that it takes from every transaction that is made on it. It has now pointed to new research that showed the UK app economy on Apple‘s iOS mobile platform saw record growth in 2021, supporting more than 440,000 jobs - more than anywhere else in Europe, the technology giant has said. A new report on Apple‘s App Store and its economy said the earnings of smaller UK app developers have grown by 84 per cent in the last two years, with the number of smaller developers joining the App Store up by 40 per cent.

An experimental treatment completely reversed Alzheimer's disease in mice by reducing the levels of a single enzyme in the animals' brains. The results further bolster the theory that amyloid plaques are at the root of this mysterious brain disease, and that addressing these plaques could lead to an eventual cure for Alzheimer's. The study , published February 14 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine , found that slowly reducing levels of the enzyme BACE1 in mice as they aged either prevented or reversed the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain, a hallmark sign of Alzheimer's disease. Related: Alzheimer's science shocked by discovery that key protein behaves like and infection Amyloid plaques , formed when bits of protein clump together in the brain, are found in high amounts in Alzheimer's patients. BACE1 is a protein that naturally forms in the brain and helps produce beta-amyloid peptide, a protein also involved with brain plaque formation. Scientists at the … [Read more...] about Removing just one enzyme reversed Alzheimer’s disease in mice

A man whose hands were left unusable by a rare disease has been given a new lease of life after what is believed to be the world's first double hand transplant for the condition. Steven Gallagher, 48, was diagnosed with scleroderma, an autoimmune disease that causes scarring of the skin and internal organs, after he developed an unusual rash about 13 years ago. Areas including his nose, mouth and hands were affected and, about seven years ago, his fingers started curling in until they were in a fist position and he was suffering "horrendous" pain. When experts suggested the idea of a double hand transplant the father-of-three initially dismissed the idea but then decided to go ahead despite the risks. He told the PA news agency: "My wife and I spoke about it and came to the agreement to go for it. I could end up losing my hands anyway, so it was just a case of letting them know I was going to go with it."
