The U-238 Atomic Energy Lab, released in 1950 by the A.C. Gilbert Company, included radioactive uranium, a cloud chamber, a spinthariscope and an electroscope. Kids could create – and watch – nuclear reactions and chemical reactions. Wow! What fun! "Daddy, how did I get these blisters on my hand? And why is the cat glowing yellow?"

Wow! Being well younger than 80, I had no idea this was a thing. I was playing with this much less caustic thing.

Shamsud Din Jabbar – his first name means "sun of the faith" or "sun of the morning" – deliberately killed ten people and injured at least 35 and he's being called only a "suspect." Why??? And he had an ISIS flag on his truck. There ya go!

The legal case claimed that Apple activated the virtual assistant Siri without user request and passed the voice recordings to the advertisers.

So they paid $95m as a fine for re-selling data about people they said they were NOT gathering, from which they likely made $950m. Sounds like they take their cues from the pharmaceutical industry.
