    Bose QuietComfort 35 (hands-on): Finally, an active noise-canceling wireless headphone from Bose
    This is the Bose product a lot of people have been waiting for, the QuietComfort 35, an active noise cancelling headphone that's also wireless. At $350 (£290, AU $499), it costs more than the wired QuietComfort 25. But at least it's only $50 price bump, which puts this around what Beats' competing Studio Wireless costs, although that headphone has been discounted in recent months, indicating Beats probably has something new coming. Like the similar looking QC25, this is a lightweight, ve..

  • Tor Project's Jacob Appelbaum Resigns Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

    Tor Project's Jacob Appelbaum Resigns Amid Sexual Assault Allegations
    Digital rights activist Jacob Appelbaum is out at the Tor Project. His departure was announced in a fairly non-descriptive blog post this past Thursday—a blog post that, by its very nature, begs those involved with Tor (or just curious) to ask questions about what really caused Appelbaum's seemingly innocuous resignation. The cyber-security expert—who co-authored a book with WikiLeaks' Julian Assange back in 2012 (Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet)—officially left the Tor Proj..

  • Mysterious underwater Greek 'city' built by microbes, say scientists

    Mysterious underwater Greek 'city' built by microbes, say scientists
    When divers off the shores of Greece's Zakynthos island found smooth floors and what looked to be circular column bases, they thought that they had found the remains of an ancient civilization. The divers' discovery may be more ancient than they ever imagined, according to research published Friday – but it wasn't built by human hands. The site was not created and abandoned in ancient Grecian times, but rather in the Pliocene era, approximately five million years ago. And credit goes to microbe..

    Here's how Facebook Messenger will change banking
