  • There was a six-car pileup on northbound 101 just north of Vermont Street this morning. [KRON4]
  • The 2016 [Google] Science Fair opens for submissions today.

  • Today in Apple vs the Feds: Bill Gates agrees with the FBI [Cnet], Mark Zuckerberg is on Team Cook [Wired].
  • "No background check process would have flagged and anticipated this situation," Uber's safety guy says of the Kalamazoo shootings [Cnet], and that's why they won't be changing their background check system [Wired].
  • Heh, guess no one wanted to buy that convicted-girlfriend-beater's penthouse. [SocketSite]
  • Google is shutting down its Google Compare comparison-shopping site. [New York Times]
