More and more sites use “session replay” scripts. These scripts record your keystrokes, mouse movements, and scrolling behavior, along with the entire contents of the pages you visit, and send them to third-party servers. Unlike typical analytics services that provide aggregate statistics, these scripts are intended for the recording and playback of individual browsing sessions, as if someone is looking over your shoulder.

Collection of page content by third-party replay scripts may cause sensitive information such as medical conditions, credit card details and other personal information displayed on a page to leak to the third-party as part of the recording. This may expose users to identity theft, online scams, and other unwanted behavior.

Over 800 students were searched without a warrant, subjected to invasive pat downs that included breasts and genitals by Sheriff Jeff Hobby and his deputies.

In October, Sheriff Hobby and two of his deputies were indicted for sexual battery and false imprisonment.

That number has nothing to do with the severity of the violations, but rather is the limit of the sheriff department's insurance policy.

Coming in 2020, the new Tesla Roadster is said to do the 0 - 60 sprint in 1.9 seconds and continue on through the quarter mile in less than eight seconds.

All that performance won't come cheap, though. The new Tesla Roadster will cost a whopping $250,000, making it Tesla's most expensive car ever. Those who pre-order now (with an at least $50,000 deposit) will get their cars in 2020 -- or thereabouts.

"We have a better balance of memory to performance than all the other browsers," said Firefox Vice President for Product Nick Nguyen.

"A significant number of our users are on machines that are two cores or less, and less than 4 gigabytes of RAM," Nguyen explained.

It's the supposedly anonymous location data that proves to be problematic. The researchers obtained it from Safegraph, a company that aggregates location data from multiple mobile apps, but it could have come from other data traders.

Now it may be that the apps sharing location info with Safegraph obtained this information through the usual means – a click-agreement designed to elicit user consent from individuals who didn't read the terms of the deal.

Electronic Arts has announced it is turning off all in-game purchases on Star Wars Battlefront II, on the eve of the game's worldwide launch, after a massive outcry from fans.

Early players soon discovered unlocking top hero characters like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader could take up to 40 hours, unless players paid-to-play.

But when payments become a major impediment to gameplay, or a game becomes virtually unplayable without forking out cash, gamers are quick to speak up.

In now-deleted social media images, the Russian Ministry of Defense used what is almost certainly a screenshot from a mobile game as part of its supposed evidence that the United States military was supporting ISIS troops in Syria.

As games continue to become more realistic (especially at a cursory glance), it's going to become easier and easier to intentionally use their imagery as a stand-in for reality to less observant viewers.

The new version, which Mozilla calls “by far the biggest update since Firefox 1.0 in 2004,” brings massive performance improvements and a visual redesign.

The goal is to make Firefox the fastest and smoothest browser for PCs and mobile devices — the company has previously promised that users can expect “some big jumps in capability and performance” through the end of the year.

The two companies, which surveyed 400 IT professionals, found that nearly a third of organizations are currently deploying internet of things systems and many more are planning to start in 2018, despite the security concerns of some IT professionals.

Cradlepoint also proposed some best practices to make the move to IoT a bit easier.

The mere thought that some kids might see this and stop believing in Santa is just too much.

Why, both the Sun and the Daily Mail explained that parents are turning to social media and screaming to the high heavens.

A company spokesman told me: "Father Christmas and his elves are no doubt working around the clock to get presents to girls and boys around the world. These are just a few extra to give a little love from parents."
