   Aside: Google Will Eat Itself seems to be a pun on the English band Pop Will Eat Itself, who I can recommend.

   Tether's payment processor has seemingly swiped the funds. A similar thing happened to Full Tilt Poker. Its payment processer stole its funds and the business collapsed.

   Reynolds tobacco brought something like this out in the Eighties. It was a heated tocacco system called Premier that you could smoke indoors. It famously flopped because the cigarettes tasted distinctly like farts. The failed launch feature

   IBM sold Watson as a black box with a magic genie inside. You could point it at your data and it would tell you the answer before you'd even thought of a question. No wonder we're disappointed.

    Google used to have a timeline showing key points in Usenet history. The first mention of Madonna. The first reference to AIDS. The first mention of the Gulf war. There were articles in Wired on how they recovered this stuff from long-lost

    Caity Weaver used to write for Gawker. I've always loved her work – I think she's one of the best writers of our generation.

    I don't know if this works outside the UK, but last year BBC Radio 4 did a wonderful documentary on Joybubbles – one of the first phreakers. Great way to spend 28 minutes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08hlnjq

    This guy sounds pretty ungrateful. He was able to read Robert X. Cringley's book "Accidental Empires" thanks to Archive.org's "virtual library card" service. This is a service where Archive.org sources a physic

    You see record labels promoting new albumns on posters and billboards - with the call to action being to listen on Spotify. How can that make financial sense if they're not even getting a penny a stream?

    ProjectPoll.io is an outstanding idea. I think your homepage copy buries the lede though. For me, this was the a-ha moment: "ProjectPoll sends anonymous weekly surveys, that give you unprecedented insight into your teams and projects.

    They're making the equivalent of $80k – not necessarily $80k. "With the service charge, our servers were making $38 per hour (hourly base + hourly service charge) or the equivalent of $70,000 to $80,000 a year if you were working

    The app seems to be a cross between MindNode and iA Writer. Which to me, as an active user of both those apps, seems like a great idea.

    This guy hacks into a darknet "hire a hitman" site and downloads the target list. Although the site is fake, he realises that the target list could help pre-empt real murders.
