Moviegoers balik na sa sinehan

MASAYANG nag-announce ang Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2017 Executive Committee thtrough their spokesperson Noel Ferrer na bumalik nang muli ang mainit na pagtangkilik ng moviegoers sa mga pelikulang kasali sa taunang filmfest.

Nakakatuwa ngang makita na muling bumalik ang mahahabang pila sa mga pelikulang gusto nilang panoorin ng publiko simula noong Pasko.

Ayon kay Noel, kahit wala siyang inilabas na official gross receipt ng first at second day ng festival, na-break nito ang box-office ng 2015 MMFF first and second day. Napansin din na humaba na ang mga pila ng mga taong manonood.

Saksi kami sa dalawang araw naming pagpunta sa mga cinema complex para manood at tingnan kung tulad ng first day ay marami pa ring nanood sa second day.

“The big achievement is bringing back our kababayans to the theaters it took quite some time before we saw this kind of enthusiasm once again from the Filipino viewers,” pahayag ni MMFF Execom Chairman Tim Orbos.

“From the Parade of Stars in Muntinlupa to the post Holiday theater tours, people have flocked to the theaters once more to support the all-Filipino film line up that went through gruelling screening from an esteemed Selection Committee headed by no less than National Artist Bievenido Lumbera.

“Now that we have the audience and the revenue back on track, we are committed to continue making quality productions that would satisfy and anrich our general film audiences.” –Nora Calderon

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
