Uber’s hiding its hacking incident that stole personal data of 57 million users and paying a ransom of $100,000 to the hackers spurred fury around the world.The personal information of 7 million drivers was accessed, including some 600,000 U.S. driver’s license numbers.

Swimming with dolphins in virtual reality to aid disabled
APELDOORN, Netherlands - Swimming with wild dolphins is something most can only dream of, and jumping into pools with captive animals has become increasingly controversial with environmentalists condemning it as cruel.But a Dutch non-profit believes it has found a way to bring people, especially the disabled, closer to such a joyful experience through the technological, immersive advances offered by virtual reality (VR).The Dolphin Swim Club is the realization of a more than two-decade journey by artist Marijke Sjollema, who had her first chance encounter with a dolphin in 1993 while snorkeling off the coast of Mexico."I saw this grey shadow under the water and my first thought was this is the end. I thought it was a shark," she said.She tried to stay calm "but this shadow...
