Names That Break Computers

Reader Thelasko writes: The BBC has a story about people with names that break computer databases. “When Jennifer Null tries to buy a plane ticket, she gets an error message on most websites. The site will say she has left the surname field blank and ask her to try again.”

Thelasko compares it to the XKCD comic about Bobby Tables, though it’s a real problem that’s also been experienced by a Hawaiian woman named Janice Keihanaikukauakahihulihe’ekahaunaele, whose last name exceeds the…

Porsche’s 911R makes its American debut in New York

We speak to Porsche’s Andreas Preuninger about the new 911R—this year’s must-have 911. Video shot and edited by Jennifer Hahn.

Porsche’s long-rumored new 911R broke cover at the Geneva International Motor Show earlier in the year. Happily for those of us on this side of the Atlantic, Porsche brought the 911R to New York for the auto show, even though the 911R’s entire production run—limited to just nine hundred and eleven cars—has already been completely sold out. More happily for us, we also got to speak…

Make Your Own Minimalist Leather Wallet and Key Holder

Minimalist wallets are a great way to cut down on all the junk in your pockets, but if you want to go all in, Make shows you how to make a wallet and key holder combo out of a piece of leather.

You’ll need a single, small piece of leather for this, but repurposed leather from an old purse, jacket, or other thrift store find will do. Then, you’ll use some waxed lacing, hardware for the keys, cheap snap fasteners, and you’re all set. Obviously this will only work if you only have a few keys on your…

'Holoportation' demo makes live-video holograms look easy

Last June Microsoft showed off its HoloLens tech that created holograms from live video. Now it’s putting that into practice and giving it an official name: Holoportation. It uses multiple 3D cameras to capture a subject from all angles, creating a “temporally consistent model” that can mimic the feeling of someone being in a room with you. During a TED Talk,Alex Kipman used it to virtually meet with a colleague in front of a Mars backdrop, but this lab demo from Microsoft Research shows something a bit more realistic….

VW Misses Initial Deadline For US Diesel Fix, Gets Extention For April 21

In February, US District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that “six months is long enough” for VW to come up with a diesel emissions fix, but the automaker failed to comply.


The initial deadline expired on Thursday, March 24, and Breyer gave Volkswagen and US regulators until April 21 to come up with a plan.

If no deal is reached by that date, the judge will consider holding a trial this summer about the 580,000 diesel-powered vehicles that were sold in the US and equipped with emissions cheating devices found to emit up to…

U.S. iPhone users spent an average of $35 on apps during 2015, according to research by Sensor Tower. Of that amount, $25, or 71 percent, was spent on games.

The research is based on 110 million iPhones that were in active use in the U.S. last year, according to Sensor Tower and data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. The surprising part is how much more was spent on games compared to the second-highest grossing category.

On average, games accounted for $25 per person, while music was second at $3.40 per…

This five-part weekly series shows Ford’s push to Le Mans

Fifty years ago, Ford famously took all three podium positions at Le Mans. It was the first time an American automaker had claimed an overall victory, completely dominating the event. Eventually Ford lost traction with its road racing program, and the GT40 became a piece of racing lore. Despite the GT’s return in 2005, it wouldn’t become a full-fledged racing machine until this year’s shot at Daytona.
