Intel SSDs Based On 3D XPoint Technology Next Year
Aside from all the talk of personalization, BMX stunts and spiderbots, one of the biggest announcements to come out of the Intel Developer Forum keynote today was news that Intel's Optane SSDs, based on 3D XPoint memory, will ship in 2016. If Intel's performance claims are true, things could get pretty damn interesting once Optane solid state drives ship next year. Your thoughts?
For those of you that missed it, you can see our recent 3D XPoint write-up here.

Samsung Releases New USB Flash Drives
Samsung Electronics announced a new suite of slim and sophisticated USB Flash Drives (UFD) available in three ergonomic form factors, each equipped with robust Samsung NAND flash technology. The introduction of this product line now provides customers with a more complete menu of branded memory products available from Samsung that currently include, a full line of SD and microSD memory cards, internal SSDs and portable SSD products. All of the USB 3.0 drives are also compatible with USB 2.0 and come in metal-based design equipped with Samsung's robust NAND flash and equipped with Samsung's 5-proof technologies and a 5 year warranty commencing on the date of purchase.
Samsung USB 3.0 flash drives come in three different form factors – Bar type as well as FIT and DUO types. The bar type offers a modern classy look with a light champagne colored, high-quality metal casing for added durability, and a streamlined spherical end for ergonomic experiences, which allow users to easily insert and extract the drive from devices and can double as a subtle key ring to help prevent loss. Measuring 40mm long and weighing under 9 grams, the drive is specifically designed for use in PC devices and is available in three capacities, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. The drive offers sequential read speed of up to 130MB/s, allowing users to download a 2.4GB full HD video or approximately 40 hours of mp3 music from the UFD to their device in less than 20seconds.

Facebook Should Pay All of Us
Wouldn't that be funny if a company like Facebook actually paid its users? Or, as the article suggests, let users pay to opt out of tracking? That's obviously not going to happen but it's still food for thought.
While every business has slightly mixed motives, those companies that we pay live and die by how they serve the customer. In contrast, the businesses we are paying with attention or data are conflicted. We are their customers, but we are also their products, ultimately resold to others. We are unlikely to stop loving free stuff. But we always pay in the end—and it is worth asking how.

FCC Says Convention Centers Can't Block Wifi
The Federal Communications Commission is slapping fines on companies that block FCC-approved Wi-Fi connections.
Smart City provides telecom services to convention centers all over the country and charges an insulting $80 fee for a single day of wifi service. To make matters worse, Smart City screwed over people who tried to get around the high fee by using a personal hotspot—the FCC caught the company using a wifi monitoring system to block hotspots that attendees tried to use to provide their own wifi. That's pretty rude, and it's also illegal. Now, Smart City will be the one paying.

Developer Reveals Mac Security Hole Without Telling Apple
Personally, I think this is a dick move. I can understand going public if you've alerted the company ahead of time and they still didn't fix the flaw but that isn't the case here.
He recently posted details of an OS X exploit, "tpwn," that lets intruders get root-level access to your Mac (even if it's running the recent 10.10.5 update) without even telling Apple, let alone waiting for a patch. It's now a race between the Cupertino crew and malware writers to make use of the discovery.
