| Massive Rogers outage cut off 25 percent of Canada’s internet traffic for nearly all of Friday Posted: 08 Jul 2022 08:47 PM PDT  Canadian telecom Rogers is suffering a major outage affecting landline phones, cellular connections, and internet connectivity throughout Canada that started early this morning. Downdetector listed thousands of reports for the issues that flooded in as people started to get up around 5AM ET and couldn't get online. Rogers first addressed the outage in a tweet from its official support account just before 9AM ET and then went silent for a couple of hours. On Friday afternoon, the company tweeted that its technical teams are working to restore services "alongside our global technology partners, and are making progress." Late Friday evening, Rogers CEO & President Tony Staffieri posted a letter to Canadians on the company website.

| Elon Musk proves he’s the wrong man to save the world Posted: 08 Jul 2022 06:22 PM PDT  It's on. Elon Musk has officially filed to kill his own Twitter acquisition, and Twitter is calling his bluff. They'll see Musk in court. And while it's only going to get messier from here, one important verdict has already been rendered by Elon Musk himself: he doesn't have what it takes to run Twitter. And that's a damning blow to his own central mythology. We'll look at the specifics of Musk's formal SEC filing in a minute, but first it's important to remember what he's said about the deal and why he wanted to do it in the first place. It's not like the world forced the acquisition of a relatively small social network on the world's richest man. And Musk's conduct surrounding the deal has been marked by a lot of obvious troll... |

Whether you want to place a voice assistant in your living room, replace the bulletin board in your office, or pick up a touchscreen-enabled device to showcase recipes in the kitchen, there's an Echo device for just about every occasion and use case. Regardless of why you might want one, there's always a way to save on an Echo device, from the last-gen Dot to Amazon's latest Echo Show 10.

| Twitter tells employees not to tweet about Elon Musk deal Posted: 08 Jul 2022 05:05 PM PDT  Following Elon Musk's notice to Twitter that he wants out of his $44 billion deal to purchase the company, employees have been instructed to not publicly comment on the deal. An internal memo by Twitter's general counsel and obtained by The Verge says that staffers should "refrain from Tweeting, Slacking, or sharing any commentary about the merger agreement." The note, which you can read in full below, cites the fact that the merger is an ongoing legal matter. Musk's team alleges that the company "failed or refused to provide" information about the number of bots on its platform," and Twitter's board has announced that it's suing Musk to ensure that the deal goes through as originally agreed. After the news broke Friday that Musk wanted... |
| Elon Musk and the $44 billion Twitter buyout he’s trying to terminate Posted: 08 Jul 2022 03:17 PM PDT |
| Twitter says it’s going to sue Elon Musk for trying to back out of the deal Posted: 08 Jul 2022 03:17 PM PDT  Twitter's message to Elon Musk after his attempt to bail on his $44 billion agreement to buy the company: we'll see you in court. "The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement," tweeted Twitter's chairman, Bret Taylor, less than an hour after Musk's legal team said he wanted out of the deal in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery." If you've been following the twists and turns of this deal, it's not a surprise that Twitter plans to put up a fight. Soon after Musk said he would buy Twitter and take it private, he began laying the... |

| Elon Musk officially tries to bail on buying Twitter Posted: 08 Jul 2022 02:28 PM PDT  Elon Musk is officially trying to pull out of his $44 billion agreement to purchase Twitter. In a filing Friday afternoon with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk's team claims he is terminating the deal because Twitter was in "material breach" of their agreement and had made "false and misleading" statements during negotiations. "For nearly two months, Mr. Musk has sought the data and information necessary to 'make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter's platform,'" Musk's legal team writes. "Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information." Twitter still hopes to close the deal, despite Musk's attempted termination. Twitter board chairman Bret Taylor wrote that the company... |
| President Biden signs order on abortion care and patient privacy Posted: 08 Jul 2022 02:26 PM PDT  President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Friday directing federal agencies to protect abortion access and the online privacy of patients seeking reproductive healthcare following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The order's primary directives prompt the Department of Health and Human Services to expand access to emergency contraception and long-acting birth control devices like IUDs. But it also calls on HHS and the Federal Trade Commission to take steps to protect the sensitive health data of patients seeking abortions and other reproductive care. "We cannot allow an out-of-control Supreme Court, working in conjunction with extremist elements of the Republican Party, to take away freedoms and our personal... |
