This week we find ourselves trapped in an upstate New York penitentiary of our own making. We shut down Trump’s continued insistence that he’s more intelligent than his intelligence agencies; Howard Schultz’s ill-conceived flirtation with an independent presidential run; and Gwyneth Paltrow’s violent run-in with an optometrist on the slopes of Park City. Also: technology continues to be terrible! Facebook engages in “friendly fraud” by taking money from children and gets the smackdown from Apple after running afoul of the company’s enterprise development rules. Meanwhile, a teenager in Arizona discovers a security flaw in iOS’s FaceTime; a velociraptor receptionist robot gets fired from a hotel in Japan, and Ashton Kutcher engages in a nonsensical text conversation with Rachel. Quite an eventful week.
