Jeb Bush dumps emails including social security numbers of Florida residents online

Enough Peter Parker: the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't need another white Spider-Man

After slogging through a botched Sony reboot, audiences can finally expect Spidey, one of the most esteemed — and valuable — superheroes ever created, to take his rightful place beside the Avengers. As Marvel’s statement reads, "Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker’s story into the future." There’s just one problem: With Andrew Garfield allegedly out, we don’t need Peter Parker at the movies anymore. We need Miles Morales.

Drones, guns, and very fast cars: our day with Deadmau5 and the DJI Inspire One

When we arrive at deadmau5’s place, he’s jacked into an Oculus Rift, a cigarette dangling from his lip, both hands on the wheel of a virtual race car skidding around a track at 200 miles per hour. The performer and producer is a man who likes his toys high-tech and top of the line, especially drones. When he saw our first video on the new DJI Inspire One, he asked if we could help him get hold of a unit. What better place to test one out, we thought, than his expansive Toronto estate?

How Marvel will save us from more terrible Spider-Man movies

Sony has one of the greatest comic book superheroes of all time, and it was screwing everything up. Last year's Amazing Spider-Man 2 wasn't a box office disaster, but it made notably less money than any of Sony's other Spider-Man films. Critically, it was a mess. And this was supposed to be the film that would kick off its own series of interconnected sequels and spinoffs.

I just made $20 trying to cheat Amazon

Yesterday, somebody or something at Amazon input the wrong command, and the Kindle Voyage went on sale for $59.99, almost 75 percent off its $199 price tag. Like any other person who inhales the internet like life-giving oxygen, I saw news of this mistake immediately and took advantage of it within moments, receiving an order confirmation before Amazon made its fix.

Marvel reportedly got Spider-Man back from Sony for free

Sony appears to be lending Spider-Man to Marvel in exchange for the studio's expertise — not its money. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel won't be paying a dime to put Spider-Man in one of its upcoming films, despite the fact that Sony still holds the character's film rights.

Flipboard comes to the web, and it’s beautiful

In moving to the desktop, Flipboard hopes to open up a big new avenue of distribution.

Use this map to explore Airbnb's takeover of New York City

When Airbnb got taken to task by the New York City Council last month, one of the key points of contention was who exactly uses Airbnb and how they’re using it. Airbnb maintained that it’s used by New Yorkers renting out rooms on occasion; councilmembers said it was used by illegal hoteliers, renting out multiple apartments on a rolling basis, diminishing the available housing stock and raising rents. The City Council demanded user data, and Airbnb refused.
