However, if you're a resident of Southern California—or know someone who is—you might be able to pick one up right now. Just swing on down to Sa..>> view originalTwitter needs searchable GIFs for fun and profit

It's what the people want, which is good, because Twitter is desperately trying to create a service that more people want. If the company pulls this off, it'll appease the will of animated-image aficionados, gain some new users and (gasp) give the not quit..>> view originalNASA's Juno spacecraft adjusts course for Jupiter
NASA made some adjustments to its Juno spacecraft as it prepares for an encounter with Jupiter this summer, firing its thrusters in an “engine burn” Wednesday and adjusting its course. “This is the first of two trajectory adjustments that fine tune Juno’s orbit around the sun, perfecting our rendezvous with Jupiter on July 4th at 8:18 p.m. PDT (11:18 p.m. EDT),” said Juno principal investigator Scott Bolton in a statement. As of now, Juno is about 425 million miles away from Earth, and only ..>> view originalDrought may become status quo in Southwest
California residents struggling through a sheer lack of rainfall and an interminable drought may be in for more of the same, according to a new study. The study claims that the current California drought may eventually become far more regular in the Southwest, as storms that usually affect these areas have progressively become less frequent. The researchers used more generalized storm patterns than daily rainfall statistics, and determined that in the years 1979 to 2014, wintertime snow from ..>> view originalYesteryear's malware was gorgeous in its simplicity
The Internet Archive is apparently devoted to preserving all parts of the web's history and that even extends to malware and viruses from the MS DOS era. The good news is that you can peruse a pretty sizable collection in the Malware Museum now without worrying that they'll wreck your machine. Like the nigh-forgotten PC games it has collected over the years, the malware plays within browsers. To a point, they're even somewhat interactive. I wasn't able to get the "CHKDSK" command to work, but t..>> view originalGoogle Hangouts Taps P2P For Better Audio And Video To Improve Call Quality

Twitter went into an uproar Friday after a BuzzFeed report that the social network was on the brink introducing an algorithmic, more Facebook-style feed. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tried to calm fears this morning in a series of tweets, but he did not deny the substance of the report. High-profile users have threatened to abandon the service, and the changes reportedly could arrive as soon as this week. The Verge has now seen the redesigned timeline and can share new details about how it's going t..>> view originalThe HTC Vive isn't limited to perfectly square rooms
Until now, little has been said about what the Vive's setup process will be like when it goes on sale. (For the record, "Vive Pre" is still a pre-release name.) But in my interview, Associate Vice President Raymond Pao gave a little more insight into how this will work. The Vive system consists of five pieces: the wired headset, two wireless controllers and two "Lighthouse" base stations for laser tracking. Obviously, you'll also need a Windows PC with a relatively powerful graphics card -- pr..>> view originaliPhone Error 53 – It'll annoy you, and it'll cost you
