Google may or may not have been hacked to the tune of 4.9 million Gmail logins this month. Google has fervently denied the claims made by a hacker called "tvskit" on a BitCoin security forum that access had been gained to almost 5 million customers' usernames, email addresses and passwords. Read more here.
Western Digital announced this month that they've started shipping their new 8TB HDDs. These drives contain helium to allow them to cram in more disks while minimizing friction. Even more excitingly, WD also disclosed that they're currently sampling a 10TB drive to "select customers" that uses the new technology of Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR). Ars Technica has the scoop.
Lastly this month, what happens when two chatbots talk to each other with no human intervention? Well, that's exactly what the Cornell University developers of AI software "Cleverbot" wanted to know too. The answer? Pure gold.
