4 Tech/geek Events From Yesterday

Yesterday was a busy day in the tech/geek world.

Edward Snowden got a twitter account yesterday. His profile includes “I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public.” As I write this he has just under a million followers. At least he has a sense of humour – the only twitter account he follows is the NSA.

Tesla announced the long awaited Model X SUV, complete with falcon wing doors and a “bioweapon defense mode” button on the air filtration system.

Google announced new updated phones, the release of their new Marshmallow OS, and a few other things.

And on the dark side, Volkswagen announced they are recalling the 11 million vehicles affected by the dieselgate emissions testing software scandal – although not details of what they are going to do or how it will affect performance. Speaking of the dark side, perhaps there was some hidden meaning in the 2011 “the force” VW commercial?
