Breaking News Bulletin

• Ethereum sucks.
  
  

• Looking for a desktop PC with a heatsink as big as its case? Lenovo has you covered with the ThinkCentre M930n Nano IoT.  (Notebook Check)
  
  As the "nano" part might suggest thought, the case isn't all that big.
  
  
• Lenovo also showed off a folding laptop though the screen on the prototype is only 13" unfolded, so I'm not sure how useful it is.  (PC Perspective)
  
  I mean, most laptops fold.  Just this one has a screen on both sides.  Both sides of the inside.  That is, it has a screen where the keyboard should be, and a screen where the screen should be, and it's the same screen.
  
  
• Ethereum is pretty terrible.  I mean, it's an amazing technological achievement, just so long as you're not trying to do anything with it.
  
  
• Slack aims to be the most important software company in the world which is kind of like a kiwi aiming for the Moon.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Great choice of targets but you ain't gonna hit it.
  
  
• Hacker Laws.
  
  
• Google has decided the headphone jack is a downmarket feature and will only provide it on mid-range phones.  (Android Authority)
  
  Google, as I may have mentioned previously, is run by idiots.
  
  
• A bug in WhatsApp let hackers install programs on your phone just by calling you.  (ZDNet)
  
  That takes some talent.  It's not like this is Sendmail in the early 2000s with the Exploit of the Week Club; Android is designed for security.  How WhatsApp screwed it up that badly is unclear.
