Tesla Model S "Elizabeta" By LARTE Design Underscores Lightning Performance
No matter how you look at it, the Model S is a sleeper, its unassuming looks hiding an electric powerhouse waiting to be unleashed.
It is no supercar, but the P90D can mix it with the best of them and win. The looks might be too restrained for some owners who want to make its performance credentials a bit more obvious.
This is where Larte Design comes in, as the tuner prepared a striking aerodynamic package that emphasizes the vehicle’s grunt.
Larte named this project the Elizabeta, and the package includes redesigned front and rear bumpers highlighted by a…

Thou shalt not tell us how to behave any more
MOST of the people who have ever lived believed in a god – or more likely, gods. Cognitive science tells us that human minds are extremely receptive to supernatural explanations for the world around us, and that religiosity is our default setting.
But the gods that our ancestors believed in weren’t like the ones that most people believe in today. Moralising was conspicuously absent from their agenda. Only about 2500 years ago did religions begin to preach about poverty, chastity and obedience.
To secular scientists, this is an interesting empirical fact in…

Microsoft develops IFTTT rival called Flow for connecting apps and services
Apps like IFTTT (If This Then That) connect services in logical ways: texting your spouse, for example, when you leave work. Microsoft has created a business-oriented preview service called Flow that acts in much the same way, but with its own software and partner apps.
Flow isn’t an app, but a way to connect apps and ask them to do specific tasks. To help users get started, Microsoft has created a series of “templates” of common use cases: for example, having Twitter tweets saved in a CSV file in OneDrive, or having a text sent to yourself when you receive an…

Hated encryption bill should prompt U.S. intelligence reform
You don’t need anything decrypted to see that nobody likes the Compliance with Court Orders Act of 2016, the draft encryption bill released two weeks ago. Coauthored by Senators Richard Burr and Dianne Feinstein, the bill would allow courts to order companies to break encryption on communications and devices for law enforcement purposes.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike it. Here are mine, along with some thoughts about what the bill reveals about our government’s approach to intelligence.
1. The proposed bill won’t work as a deterrent to unlawful…

This device could determine if you were texting and driving
Texting and driving continues to be a major problem on today’s roadways and let’s be honest with ourselves – public service announcements alone aren’t going to reverse the trend. Fully autonomous vehicles will negate the issue but those are still many years away.
In the interim, New York lawmakers have proposed implementing a test that would determine if a driver involved in an accident was texting or otherwise using their phone in a manner that may have been distracting and ultimately caused said accident.
The test, dubbed the Textalyzer,…

Gunning for Google, Comcast Preps Gigabit Internet That Works With Regular Cable
Comcast, the Internet provider everyone loves to hate, is gearing up to offer one-gigabit-per-second Internet service in five U.S. cities this year.
