Chart That Tells You When Your Job Will Be Done By A Robot
Let's face it, it's not a matter of "if" our jobs are all going to be taken by robots, it's a matter of "when." Clicking on the interactive chart gives you some pretty damn detailed information. The more you click, the spookier it gets.

ID Thieves Hijacking Accounts To Cash In On Bogus Warranties
You'd think it would be easy to bust criminals pulling scams like this. The warranty replacement has to be shipped to a physical address (house, apartment or P.C. box), why not start looking for the crooks there?
In a pre-online era, when we made most purchases in person, getting a warranty replacement on a broken product often required taking the defective item back to where you bought it. But now that we're all buying things online, a number of retailers are willing to ship you a replacement on the understanding that you'll immediately return the original item. ID thieves are taking advantage of this goodwill, hijacking customers' accounts and convincing companies to send them free replacements for items they never bought.

Should You Let A Security Robot Patrol Your Home?
Why not let a security bot patrol your home? Hell, most of us are do-it-yourself kinda guys, we would just slap a gun on a Roomba and call it good.
That scenario just got a little more likely. On display at CES 2016 is a new robotic vacuum from LG. The HOM-BOT Turbo+ employs what LG is calling augmented reality technology. The robot interfaces with your smartphone in some unique ways. To issue instructions to the vacuum, you can designate areas that need cleaning via your phone's camera. Tap on any part of the room in the image and the HOM-BOT Turbo+ will go there and do its thing.

Supersized Drone Will Fly People Anywhere
Even though this company swears this supersized drone will be commercially available in 2016 for under $300k, something tells me the FAA will have a thing or two to say about flying around in one of these.
We were shown an early video of the 184 flying, but it wasn't clear whether a human was on board, and perspective seemed off. It's also a bit suspicious that we were told it wasn't possible to see it working at the event in Vegas due to unspecified legal reasons (not even indoors or tethered). It all seems very mysterious, and we're not entirely sure it's possible, let alone advisable. Still, it's a cool idea none the less.

Microsoft is ending support for Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 next week on January 12th, releasing a final patch encouraging users to upgrade to one of the company's more recent browsers.
