Microsoft Windows 10 Nag Screen Tweaked With Clear ‘Decline’ Option, Better Late Than Never
It’s unfathomable that it would take Microsoft nearly a year to figure out how to make a Windows 10 upgrade prompt (aka nag screen) that didn’t attempt to con the user or force the operating system onto your computer. But here we are, just a month away from the end of the free promotional offer, and Microsoft finally has a sensible nag screen

How to Break Your Teen Out of the Tech Trance
If you’re asked where your teen is right now and what they are doing, you’d probably say “They are in their room using Facebook, streaming videos, or playing games”. Unfortunately, that’s pretty much the same story everywhere. The smartphone generation doesn’t seem to care a great deal about attaining good grades, having a social life, doing good in sports, or visiting places. All they ever want to do is stay lost in technology, browsing their social networking profiles, streaming videos, or playing games. This has almost become a lifestyle for them, something that you should really be…

Minecraft Movie To Compete With Avengers and Star Wars In 2019
An anonymous reader writes: Warner Bros. announced today that it will be releasing its upcoming Minecraft movie on May 25, 2019, if all things go according to plan. It will be competing directly with Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Episode IX film, which will be released the same weekend, only a few weeks after Marvel’s Infinity War film. The Minecraft movie has already faced some problems. The film’s original director, Shawn Levy, left the project in 2014 after his Goonies-inspired movie idea was rejected by Warner Bros. executives. Mojang announced a new director for the movie last July — Rob McElhenney, star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The movie is likely to be a hit at the box office as the game has a massive following. Earlier this month, Mojang announced the game passed 100 million sales across all platforms, including PC, Mac, consoles and mobile.

Astronomers discover a nearby 'hidden' black hole
Astronomers compared data (and notes, we’d like to imagine) on a “peculiar” source of radio waves, concluding that what was once thought to be a distant galaxy is actually a nearby binary star system, made up of a low-mass star and a black hole. It t…

US Customs Wants To Know Travelers' Social Media Account Names
Orome1 quotes a report from Help Net Security: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget, asking for permission to collect travelers social media account names as they enter the country. The CBP, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, proposes that the request “Please enter information associated with your online presence — Provider/Platform — Social media identifier” be added to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and to the CBP Form I-94W (Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure). “It will be an optional field to request social media identifiers to be used for vetting purposes, as well as applicant contact information,” the CBP noted. “Collecting social media data will enhance the existing investigative process and provide DHS greater clarity and visibility to possible nefarious activity and connections by providing an additional tool set which analysts and investigators may use to better analyze and investigate the case.” The public and affected agencies are asked to comment on the request within 60 days of its publication. Commenters are asked to send their comments to this address.

Watch This Magical Drone Footage of Castles Across Europe
Sorry, I still have a Game of Thrones hangover, so when I watch this beautiful drone footage that gives sweeping views of castles across Europe, I see the map of Westeros in the opening credits come alive. Some of these castles are in ruins, some are near rivers, some are on islets, some are embedded on the mountain side but all are impressive strongholds that hold so much history.
