Would You, Young Person, Pay $8 For A New York Times News App?

NYT Now, much like similar news aggregation apps–Inside, Flipboard, etc.–churns out a curated stream of news articles in a form digestible to the phone-obsessed consumer. The app differs from its competition in that the 30-40 news articles a day will be curated and edited by esteemed editors from the Times, who will summarize the day’s news into bullet points. It will also offer morning and evening briefings, providing a roundup of the day’s news.

Seems promising, I would most definitely try it.

First move?

Your phone will read people’s emotions better than you ever could

Using a combination of facial recognition software and machine learning algorithms, researchers have trained computers to be dramatically better than humans at reading pained facial expressions.

I originally thought we, as humans, could understand basic emotions very naturally but research has shown that we’re right only ±50% of the time.

Google Will Eat Itself

We generate money by serving Google text advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money we automatically buy Google shares. We buy Google via their own advertisment! Google eats itself - but in the end “we” own it!

Here’s a nice thought.
