Chinese National Cops Plea in Defense Secrets Case

A Chinese aviation and aerospace businessman last week pleaded guilty to
participating in a conspiracy to steal sensitive military and export-
controlled data from major U.S. defense contractors and send the
information to China, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Su
Bin, also known as Stephen Su and Stephen Subin, entered the plea before
Judge Christina A. Snyder.

Oculus Rift Offers the Best VR Experience Yet, Reviewers Say

The first reviews of the Oculus Rift surfaced Monday, and reviewers
praised the potential of the virtual reality system while pointing out
some obvious concerns. The headset display is well-crafted, but
drawbacks include the cost and the fact that it requires a powerful
gaming system to run it, according to some reviews. "It has the
potential to change the world," Devindra Hardawar wrote.

A Dramatic 16 Years for 4 Tech Titans

Following Apple's latest announcements, I noticed a number of reports on
how disappointed customers were that there was nothing they wanted to
wait in line for hours to buy. I personally thought they should have
been excited about that, because I hate to stand in lines. I've never
really figured out an Apple fanatic's penchant for pain. Still, it is
very clear that today's Apple is very different.

Microsoft Apologizes for Corrupted Chatbot's Nasty Comments

Microsoft last week apologized for its Tay chatbot's bad behavior. It
took the machine learning system offline, only 24 hours into its short
life, after Twitter trolls got it to deny the Holocaust and elicit pro-
Nazi and anti-feminist remarks. "We are deeply sorry for the unintended
offensive and hurtful tweets from Tay, which do not represent who we are
or what we stand for," said Peter Lee, corporate vice president at
Microsoft Research.
