I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe: Skyscrapers engulfed in a sickly yellow haze; Elvis Presley performing on the stage of a decadent art-deco nightclub; water rippling across the windows of a flying car, only to vanish—like tears in rain. And I’ve seen the original blade runner himself set off running again … and again … and again. It’s a fall morning in 2016, and on a cavernous soundst
At last count, the group behind WannaCry has earned just over $55,000 from its internet-shaking attack, a small fraction of the multimillion-dollar profits of more professional stealthy ransomware schemes. "From a ransom perspective, it's a catastrophic failure," says Craig Williams, a cybersecurity researcher with Cisco's Talos team. "High damage, very high publicity, very high law-enforcement vi
Hackers are building up robust systems to monitor changes to government websites. And they’re keeping track of data that's been removed. On Saturday morning, the white stone buildings on UC Berkeley’s campus radiated with unfiltered sunshine. The sky was blue, the campanile was chiming. But instead of enjoying the beautiful day, 200 adults had willingly sardined themselves into a fluorescent-lit r

WIRED Logo The President in Conversation With MIT’s Joi Ito and WIRED’s Scott Dadich Joi Ito, Scott Dadich, and President Barack Obama photographed in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on August 24, 2016. IT’S HARD TO think of a single technology that will shape our world more in the next 50 years than artificial intelligence. As machine learning enables our computers to teach themselves, a we
It started with the Sex Pistols. Specifically, with the Sex Pistols’ June 4, 1976, show at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. The concert now ranks as one of the most influential performances of all time, up there with Woodstock. But the audience, not the band, made the show famous. Around 30 or 40 people showed up (although thousands would later claim to have attended), and rumor
The thumb drives gathering dust in your desk drawer could help to open one of the world's most closed countries. In the age of Dropbox and Google Drive, the USB stick has come to seem like a dusty tchotchke that belongs in the drawer with your iPhone 4 cables. But send your chunk of cheap flash memory into North Korea, and it becomes a powerful, even subversive object---one that a new activist pro
Skip Article Header. Skip to: Start of Article. When you combine robots and cheetahs with military funding, you’re bound to end up with something incredible. Robotics engineers from MIT have spent over five years developing a battery-powered quadruped robot capable of running as fast as a human being. And now they’ve trained that robot to jump over hurdles—autonomously. In a video released today,
In the near future, you'll be able to build a smartphone to your exact specifications. Even better, you'll be able to change the configuration long after you buy it. Buying a phone involves too many trade-offs. This one has a great camera, but the battery kind of sucks. This one lasts forever, but it's giant and feels like a car tire. Phones with a single, otherworldly feature, like the Lumia 1020
