Inside story of James Faulkner’s allegations

 Adelaide Oval security guard Sharna Bremner thought she would be treated as a “mystery shopper” when her bosses at SA Security and Investigation Services asked her to investigate a complaint against Tasmanian Test cricketer James Faulkner.

Google and Mozilla are ready for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some websites

 Google and Mozilla engineers have already planned for Chrome and Firefox version 100 to break some web sites, with both companies saying that it's time to clean up the mess that's been made. Chrome 89, which ships in early March, will remove support for the "window.showModalDialog" DOM API, which is an ancient piece of code from 1998 that conflicts with Web standards and exists only for compatibility with Microsoft's aging Internet Explorer browser.  The next time you see a badly broken website, you might just have to send an angry email to its webmaster . With the release of Chrome 100 and Firefox 93 on Tuesday, Google and Mozilla are removing features from their browsers that some websites still use to hide text from visitors. This means when those sites haven’t updated their code , they will show the “hidden” content — usually because the site ignored their visitor's requests for a more accessible design. Looks like Chrome and Firefox are just around a ma...

Spotify wants to beat YouTube at audio

 YouTube might be the world's most popular video streaming service, but it is still second to Spotify in one area: music. This is according to a new report by Recode. Spotify has 70 million subscribers, while YouTube still beats it in terms of number of daily users. However, YouTube's listening sessions are much shorter than those of Spotify and Recode believes that this is why there may be an opportunity for Spotify to win over YouTuber's audio audience. A new Spotify portal for artists and their teams lets them upload audio clips directly to the streaming service. It's a direct shot at YouTube, which has grown in popularity as an alternative to SoundCloud for musicians , podcasters and audiobook narrators. Spotify and YouTube may seem like the same thing to you or me—audio or video on demand, accessed through a Web browser. But Spotify is investing heavily in new features that make it stand out from its competitors, especially YouTube. Spotify is moving beyond the mus...

New target for universal influenza vaccine

 New research from scientists at the National Institutes of Health and La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (LJI) reveal a new target for universal influenza vaccines, which could protect against all types of influenza viruses without needing to be reformulated each year. Scientists have identified a new target for developing a "universal" vaccine for influenza, which would be effective against different strains of the virus. The new findings, from researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), could lead to improved flu vaccines in the U.S. and other countries as well as inform strategies for developing universal vaccines for deadly viruses like Ebola and HIV. Results show that core Fc,the fragment crystallizable region of the human antibody,can interact with SAα2-6Gal receptors on both human and avian cells,and is sufficient to trigger an immune response against a broad range of viruses.This finding provides key experimental support for the concept th...
