"There is something [about Instagram] that is deeper than photography, deeper than art. Before the written word, before the printing press, before books, we always communicated in a visual manner. I joke that emojis are just futuristic versions of hieroglyphics. "Instagram is the next-generation communication platform. So of course you can communicate wonderful things like a beautiful sunset, like a great latte, but you can also communicate very serious things such as the destruction of Aleppo." "If you walk through the National Gallery halls, what do you see? Portrait after portrait. Self-portraits have been around forever. It just so happens now that everybody's an artist and everybody has the ability to capture a self-portrait at any moment."

New Mod Successfully Brings 'Doom 3' to Virtual Reality. SweViver walks and runs about naturally using only the Vive controller's touchpad, and he says multiple times that the "perfect" 90 frames per second keeps him from suffering motion sickness. Beyond that, the video shows him jumping and using the mod's impressive hand-tracking to handle his gun and flashlight separately as they float before him in place of the controllers in his hands. At one point, he even whips out virtual fists that let him pummel things with the controllers' left and right triggers.

Stripe was founded in 2010 by Patrick and John Collison, two 20-something Irish brothers who left before graduating from their respective colleges, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Stripe quickly developed an enthusiastic following among Silicon Valley start-up software developers, who say Stripe’s tools make it easy to start an online account, add a small bit of code, and accept credit and debit cards on the web or inside a mobile app — bypassing lengthy agreements with banks and traditional payments providers.
Telstra is set to outsource almost 50 jobs to IBM as part of an ongoing process to streamline its technical workforce. According to the CWU, Telstra has also specified a “lack of innovation” as a reason that underpins the offshoring. It’s a claim that the CWU rejects saying that the problem might lie “more with management than employees.”
