You see, satellites today have the same issue that early adopter car owners experienced 100 years ago . Imagine that you were one of the first 100 people to buy a car. You’d drive out of the dealership on a full tank of gas. Drive out into the country and cough, sputter, gasp. You’re out of gas. You think when there were 100 cars on the road that there were Exxon Quick Marts every few miles?...

The idea had been hatched just three days before, but the problem is a massive one. GoDC.me wants to help DC residents navigate public transportation, including metro, bus, and bikeshare. In the future, they could add car sharing services like Zipcar, Uber, and Car2Go. When McGuigan and Kyle Hill pitched to the judges, they didn’t call GoDC.me groundbreaking or revolutionary.

Romance scams, as you can likely guess from the name, are not entirely unlike the popular MTV show Catfish, in which an adept online user tricks an unsuspecting, lovelorn victim into believing they’re in love. Unfortunately, unlike in the show Catfish, these romance scams end in some serious financial hardship for the victims, rather than an appearance on MTV. While scams have overall been on the rise in recent years, this warning from the FTC should be heeded by all, particularly if you’re on dating apps this Valentine’s Day....

Despite being a great invention, email hasn’t evolved much over the years, especially in terms of the way it works. Regardless of the service or software you use, email always follows the same procedure: define the recipients, set a title for the subject, write the text and send.
