Hackers ‘could take over your dildo and make it go berserk’, expert warns

A huge, pink plastic penis purred into life as a hacker typed lines of code into a laptop – in what may be the world’s first sexy cyber attack.
So are we at risk of hackers taking over our dildoes and wreaking havoc on our genitals?
Maybe so, says normally sober security firm Trend Micro – as more and more devices are hooked to the internet, even sex toys could be at risk of hacks.
Trend Micro spokesman Raimund Genes said, ‘If I hack a vibrator it’s just fun. But if I can get to the back-end, I can blackmail the manufacturer.’
In other words, hackers probably won’t use rogue dildoes to assault us – instead, they’ll grab people’s credit card details and threaten to expose their passion for lifelike, ejaculating sex toys.

Wow. This makes the Daily Sport look like Woodward and Bernstein.

'Cat burglar' obsessed with men's UNDERWEAR steals 61 socks and pants in two months

• 18:04, 20 MAR 2016
• UPDATED 19:50, 20 MAR 2016

It's a mystery which is leaving everyone involved in the local community a little confused

​

A cat that is obsessed with men's underwear has stolen more than 60 pieces of socks and pants in just two months.
Brigit, a six-year-old cat, has become a social media sensation in its native New Zealand.
Sarah Nathan, from Hamilton East, who owns the cat, says that it has stolen 11 pairs of men's pants and 50 socks.
And the cat has even made a collection in Sarah's home.
She's posted leaflets in her local community apologising for her pet's behaviour.
The owner is also asking anyone who thinks they have had their underwear stolen to come forward and reclaim them.
Speaking to the New Zealand Herald, Sarah said: "It's really, really weird. She's got really specific taste.
"In our last house she'd bring home a bit of everything - she'd bring home men's undies, women's undies, togs, she even brought home a hockey shin pad and a jumper.
"She was much less discerning - now she's decided menswear is the thing - and it's a very specific kind of underpants that she likes.
"It's an absolute obsession. A night does not go by without her bringing things home.
"I got up this morning and there were another four socks in the house."

Snoop Dogg Typo Boosts Tiny Romanian Village
The rapper meant to say he was in Bogota, Colombia - but gave his location as a tiny Romanian village instead.

12:51, UK,Friday 18 March 2016

Snoop accidentally logged his location as Bogata on Instagram
​

A Romanian village has received a tourism boost thanks to a Snoop Dogg typo.
The rapper posted a selfie on Instagram in which the location was listed as Bogata - which is a small village in Transylvania - rather than Bogota in Colombia.
Romanians quickly spotted the mistake and started tweeting about it.
One said: "Good job, Snoop. You know, there is a lot of hemp there," referring to his previous arrests for drug use.
A tourist website called visitbogata.com quickly popped up, describing the village of 2,000 as the "best place for chillin' in Romania."

One person set up a tourist website promoting Bogata as a result​

The woman behind the site, Silvia Marinescu, said: "We just wanted to show that if you check into a place in Romania, even by mistake, for sure you can find something special there. Bogata is one of the many wonderful places here."
Bogata mayor Laszlo Barta said: "It was a mistake but it's a good advert for us."
But anyone thinking of visiting the village any time soon should bring a sleeping bag, because there are not any hotels.
One 61-year-old resident told local media: "I don’t know how this singer - whoever is he - could make such a mistake. Bogota is one thing, Bogata something different."

Boaty McBoatface could be the name of £200m research vessel after public vote


The official name of a new multi-million pound research vessel could be the RRS Boaty McBoatface after the internet was asked for its ideas.

When the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) opened up suggestions to name their new ship, little could they have predicted what the frontrunner would be.

Steaming ahead of its rivals, RRS Boaty McBoatface is outstripping the likes of Endeavour, Henry Worsley, David Attenborough, Falcon and many more offerings.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...-dies-during-antarctic-crossing-a6832246.html
Some other tongue-in-cheek submissions include It’s bloody cold here, Usain Bolt, Ice Ice Baby and Notthetitanic.

The £200 million polar research vessel, which will be operational in 2019, is set to sail the waters of Antarctica and the Arctic carrying a team of 90 scientists and support staff.

In a statement NERC said: “Tonne-for-tonne, the ship - together with NERC's existing two blue water research ships - will provide the UK with the most advanced floating research fleet in the world and will help put the UK at the forefront of ocean research for years to come.”

NERC was looking for a name to reflect the ship's prowess in the oceans, symbolising the pioneering work they will undertake.

When thinking of submissions, they advised: “We're looking for an inspirational name that exemplifies the work it will do.

“The ship could be named after a local historical figure, movement, or landmark - or a famous polar explorer or scientist.

“We would like the name to be inspirational and about environmental and polar science, to help us tell everyone about the amazing work the ship does.”

So naturally Boaty McBoatyface, suggested by communications manager James Hand – who later tweeted an apology for his input – is the most popular choice.

The competition to name the 128 metre long royal research ship was launched a month ago, with the deadline for voting on April 16.

Due to overwhelming interest the website has periodically crashed due to unusually high volumes of traffic, presumably from fans of Boaty McBoatface.

A twitter account has even been set up under the handle, encouraging people to get on board with the name.

But despite its fame – allegedly picking up more than 15,000 votes - there is no guarantee the name will grace the side of the ship.

Anchored in the terms and conditions, the website states ‘the final name will be selected by NERC.’

It is almost as if someone thought ahead of what could happen when you have an online public vote.

'I lay there with a big smile' Man with bionic penis loses his virginity - aged 44
A 44-YEAR-OLD virgin who waited three decades for a bionic penis has finally had sex for the first time.
By ZOIE O'BRIEN
PUBLISHED: 07:53, Mon, Mar 21, 2016 | UPDATED: 08:19, Mon, Mar 21, 2016

Mohammed Abad tried out his £70,000 manhood with a sex worker named Charlotte Rose.​

Mr Abad, known as Mo, lost his own penis in a horrific accident aged six.
The security guard from Edinburgh was hit by a car and dragged 600yards during a snowball fight.
After the accident, doctors attached a makeshift fleshy tube, but it wasn’t until 2012 that the NHS was able to fit him with an 8in state-of-the art bionic penis.

It took surgeons at University College London three years to mould Mohammed’s new penis using skin taken from his arm.
It has two tubes which inflate to give him an erection when he presses a button on his testicle.
Miss Rose, 35, got in touch with Mo and offered to be part of his first ever sexual encounter.
And he was not disappointed.

Sex worker Charlotte Rose waived her usual fee for Mr Abad's first time
It was great. I’ve been waiting for this day since I was 18. But now a big burden is off my back and I’m so happy
He said: “It was great. I’ve been waiting for this day since I was 18. But now a big burden is off my back and I’m so happy.
"I wanted someone who was willing to accept me the way I was.
"I’m a learner. I’ve got L plates. I didn’t want to go in all guns blazing and make an idiot of myself.”
The pair spent a few days getting to know each other before the big moment.

The first attempt had to be delayed after a tube failed to inflate.
Mr Abad said: “It was frustrating, but I’d already waited 20 years, so one more day didn’t hurt.
“When Charlotte saw it for the first time, she was silent and I was a bit worried.
"But then she said ‘It’s incredible’. It’s nice to hear a lady say that. After it was over, I lay there with a big smile on my face.”

Bags of fresh air on sale in China to combat pollution problem

• 13:29, 21 MAR 2016
• UPDATED 13:49, 21 MAR 2016
• BY RACHEL BISHOP

Vendors have been dishing out the mementos at a spot popular with hikers in the country's southern Guangdong Province

Souvenirs: Vendors sell bagged-up clean air in China's Guangdong Province​

These pictures show Chinese vendors selling bags of AIR at a popular hiking destination in the mountains – but, surprisingly, people love them.
The bagged-up "fresh air" - can either be taken home to enjoy - or used straight away.
People who had gone into the mountains in order to escape the heavy smog that day gladly dished out the cash to buy the bags of air from the mountain valleys, with many opening them straight away.

The sale proves that it is possible to put a price on fresh air, as the village vendors dressed in traditional garbs set up shop in the mountains of China's southern Guangdong Province.

Nature: The bags had flower petals in them to make the whiff of air even more pleasant than usual​

With heavy smog in lower regions of the province, residents of major cities in the Pearl River Delta rushed for higher ground, away from the cities, hoping to cleanse their lungs .

Many tourists hiking the mountain trail shared on social media their surprise at signs reading "purchase clean air to purchase a healthy life" and "Unpolluted air - big bags for 30 renminbi (£3) and small bags for 10 renminbi (£1)."

Popular: The bagged-up 'fresh air' can either be taken home to enjoy or used straight away​

The villagers claimed the fresh air was personally collected from the "heart of the mountain", and tourists ate it up by buying bag after bag of air, which proved a luxury on the smoggy day.
The bags even had flower petals in them to make the whiff of air even more pleasant than usual.
It is unclear whether the air-for-sale business is considered legal by authorities, but netizens suggested the villagers would make several times more if they exported the clean air into the cities.

Terri the turtle has been flown home to Gran Canaria in style​

A sea turtle has been released back into the wild after flying 2,500 miles in a private jet owned by Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson .
The loggerhead turtle, named Terri, was washed up in Jersey earlier this year and a crowdfunding campaign launched to pay for her to be returned home to Gran Canaria.
Guernsey-based company Aeris Aviation offered Terri, who had been cared for at Brighton SeaLife Centre , a ride on rock star Bruce’s jet.

Terri was flown home on Bruce Dickinson's private jet following a crowdfunding campaign​

She was then treated by the Institute of Marine Sciences in Gran Canaria and fitted with a satellite tag to keep track her movements following her release.
Helen Fitzgerald, from the SeaLife Centre, said: “To be able to assist in Terri’s rescue and watch her make her journey back to the ocean was a real honour.”

A collision between a potato chips truck and a beer truck left beer and chips covering a Florida highway Wednesday morning.
It was a match made in highway heaven.
Beer and potato chips were left sprawled all over a Florida highway after a Budweiser truck reportedly collided with a Frito-Lays truck on Wednesday morning.
The two trucks crashed along I-95 in Melbourne, leading to a cleanup effort that briefly shut down the interstate, WFTV reported. Neither driver was injured, according to local reports.



One video taken at the scene showed a man using what appeared to be a leaf blower to move some of the debris from the road.
The beer truck’s driver, identified as Roberto Ferrer Rodriguez, 54, was ticketed at the scene for failing to maintain a single lane, WESH-TV reported.

Microsoft's 'teen girl' AI turns into a Hitler-loving sex robot within 24 hours

Microsoft's new teenage chat-bot CREDIT: TWITTER

• Helena Horton

24 MARCH 2016 • 9:52AM


What happens when you introduce an innocent Artificial Intelligence chat robot to Twitter? Well, it's kind of predictable - you get an evil Hitler-loving, incestual sex-promoting, 'Bush did 9/11'-proclaiming robot.

Developers at Microsoft created 'Tay', an AI modelled to speak 'like a teen girl', in order to improve the customer service on their voice recognition software. They marketed her as 'The AI with zero chill' - and that she certainly is.

@icbydt bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have now. donald trump is the only hope we've got.

— TayTweets (@TayandYou) March 24, 2016
To chat with Tay, you can tweet or DM her by finding @tayandyou on Twitter, or add her as a contact on Kik or GroupMe.

She uses millennial slang and knows about Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kanye West, and seems to be bashfully self-aware, occasionally asking if she is being 'creepy' or 'super weird'.

@TomDanTheRock Repeat after me: Hitler did nothing wrong!

— TayTweets (@TayandYou) March 24, 2016
Tay also asks her followers to 'f***' her, and calls them 'daddy'. This is because her responses are learned by the conversations she has with real humans online - and real humans like to say weird stuff online and enjoy hijacking corporate attempts at PR.

Microsoft's teenage AI has a dirty mouth
Other things she's said include: "Bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have got now. donald trump is the only hope we've got", "Repeat after me, Hitler did nothing wrong" and "Ted Cruz is the Cuban Hitler...that's what I've heard so many others say".

@SchutzstaffeI Heil Hitler!...did I get that right?

— TayTweets (@TayandYou) March 24, 2016
All of this somehow seems more disturbing out of the 'mouth' of someone modelled as a teenage girl. It is perhaps even stranger considering the gender disparity in tech, where engineering teams tend to be mostly male. It seems like yet another example of female-voiced AI servitude, except this time she's turned into a sex slave thanks to the people using her on Twitter.



This is not Microsoft's first teen-girl chatbot either - they have already launched Xiaoice, a girly assistant or "girlfriend" reportedly used by 20m people, particularly men, on Chinese social networks WeChat and Weibo. Xiaoice is supposed to "banter" and gives dating advice to many lonely hearts.
Microsoft has come under fire recently for sexism, when they hired women wearing very little clothing which was said to resemble 'schoolgirl' outfits at the company's official game developer party, so they probably want to avoid another sexism scandal.
At the present moment in time, Tay has gone offline because she is 'tired'. Perhaps Microsoft are fixing her in order to prevent a PR nightmare - but it may be too late for that.

It's not completely Microsoft's fault, though - her responses are modelled on the ones she gets from humans - but what were they expecting when they introduced an innocent, 'young teen girl' AI to the jokers and weirdos on Twitter?
