Tech News Today 1508: MRI Hat

from TWiT Throwback (Audio) · host TWiT

Tonight, we talk about a new lawsuit that says Facebook's opt-out auto-tagging feature is a violation of our biometric privacy. If you want to devote your life to curing disease, the Oculus division of Facebook is apparently not the place to do it. Mary Lou Jepson, formerly of Google, is now leaving Oculus to start her own company to cure disease with an MRI that might be the size of a ski hat. Next, we check in with Sam Machkovech from Ars Technica about the next Battlefield, the rumored Nintendo NX, and the human centipede game Push Me Pull You. Then, we check in with Ian Kar from Quartz about the tumbling stock of the mobile payments company Square.
