Surface 3 stocks dwindling as Microsoft plans system’s demise
Microsoft’s Surface 3 impressed us when it launched last spring. It’s a smaller, cheaper iteration of its Surface Pro concept, and this setup struck us as a pretty compelling mix.

Would you let your self-driving vehicle kill you?
One of the interesting moral questions posed by self-driving vehicles is one of self-sacrifice. Specifically, if a situation arose where an autonomous car could save numerous lives by sacrificing its occupants, should it choose the lesser of two evils and kill its passengers?
