    'Ori and the Blind Forest' finally makes its way to retail
    What began on Xbox One as a digital title, then a definitive edition on the same console, followed by one on PC is finally making its way to bricks and mortar stores. On June 14th, you'll be able to walk into your favorite fine purveyor of video games and grab a hard copy of Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition for $20. More than just the base game with added bits to explore and story to (probably) cry over, a post on Xbox Wire says the domestic physical release includes O..

    Facebook denies bias in Trending Topics, but vows changes anyway
    Facebook responded today to official queries regarding its Trending Topics feature, specifically allegations made over the last few weeks that the team responsible for it was deliberately suppressing conservative views and arbitrarily elevating stories with little oversight.

    Non-profit RideAustin looks to fill void left by Uber and Lyft
    Charity or opportunism? It’s so hard to tell, sometimes. In RideAustin’s case, it looks to be a bit of both. It’s a non-profit car-for-hire service that’s happy to abide by the city’s rules — and adds a layer of budget- and conscience-friendly features that may help it stay differentiated (and alive). With Uber and Lyft hors de combat, albeit semi-voluntarily, after failing to thwart new regulations restricting rideshare companies, the stage is set for another company to swoop in and provide t..

  • Facebook Live lets you skip to the good part

    Facebook Live lets you skip to the good part
    Facebook’s newest feature could fundamentally change how you watch video. Until now, you either sat through a video until it got too boring, waited for the interesting part or fast-forwarded hoping to spy something worth seeing. But for clips that weren’t immediately exciting, especially monologues or selfie-streams where the action was in the audio, it was tough to tell if a video deserved your time. Yet Facebook knows when the good part of a Live video is coming. When entertained or riled up,..

    Facebook slammed for rejecting ad featuring a plus-sized model
    Facebook has apologized to an Australian feminist group after blocking an advertisement featuring plus-sized model Tess Holliday in a bikini. The social network had told the group, called Cherchez La Femme, that the image was rejected because Facebook's guidelines do not allow health and fitness ads to depict a particular body weight as being either "perfect or extremely undesirable," according to a screenshot posted to the group's page.  "Ads like these are not allowed because they make viewer..
