Facebook Turns On Safety Check Following Orlando Slaughter

Facebook on Sunday activated its Safety Check feature for the first time
in the United States, in the aftermath of the mass shooting at an
Orlando, Florida, night club that left 49 people dead and scores more
wounded. Last year's terrorist attacks in Paris marked the first time
Facebook activated the feature for a crisis other than a natural
disaster.

Fiery Ex-NASA Chief Unveils Neuro-Computing Firm

Former NASA administrator Dan Goldin last week introduced a 10-year-old
startup to the public. Backed by $100 million in private funding,
KnuEdge is working to develop breakthrough technologies in voice
biometrics and neural computing. KnuEdge launched two new products upon
its emergence from stealth mode. KnuVerse offers military-grade voice
recognition and authentication technology.

Musk Envisions Wagon Train to Mars

Elon Musk fleshed out his vision for establishing the first colony on
Mars in a recent interview. As soon as 2018, Musk's SpaceX venture could
launch an unmanned spacecraft to the red planet, he said, and that could
be followed by future unmanned flights every two years -- timed for when
the Earth and Mars orbits position the planets closest together.

Google and the Birth of the People-Delivery Drone

Larry Page is rumored to be building a flying car, apparently dropping a
whopping $100M into the effort. Surprisingly, this actually makes more
sense to me than a self-driving car does, because it potentially solves
two problems at once: You won't have to fly the thing yourself; and it
eliminates the need for roads for those who commute to work. Roads could
be just for moving heavy stuff.
