A Volkswagen executive has confirmed that the Golf R400 concept stands a good chance of getting the green light for production. The production car will be nearly identical to the concept, meaning it will pack a 400-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.

Surprise! An academic advisory panel, chaired by director of national intelligence James Clapper — yup, the same guy who lied to Congress — has concluded that there's no alternative to bulk data collection. Sorry, citizens.
Snowden documents published today by Der Spiegel give new insight into the British GCHQ's efforts to track targets through their iPhones. Previous leaks have revealed specific NSA exploits used to compromise the famously malware-resistant iPhone software controls, but the new documents show that even when the device itself hasn't been compromised, any data on the phone can be pulled when the phone syncs with a compromised computer. Other techniques allow GCHQ researchers to surveil targets by following a device's UDID across different services.
I like to think I have a pretty decent home office, but it's nothing at all compared to where the Space Station's astronauts get to work all day long.
Safari for iPhone spun out of Safari for Mac and was one of the very first fully functional web browsers ever to hit mobile. Taking all that power and making it simple and accessible for the masses meant that, over the years, a lot of shortcuts and time savers got hidden away behind gestures. Luckily, once you know how to long-tap (touch and hold) and swipe your way around, you'll be using Safari for iPhone faster than ever!
Note: History and tab restore don't work in private browsing mode, because private.
One of the first and still one of the best iPhone gestures, while I'm sure almost all of you already know this, I'm including it just in case. If you've spent a while scrolling down a page but decide you want to go back to the top, instead of scrolling all the way back up, try this:
To show you more of the page content, Safari hides the toolbar as you scroll down. Instead of trying to make it reveal itself by scrolling back up, try this:
If you come across an image on a website you want to save or copy to the clip board, try this:
(If it doesn't work, the image may be embedded in the style sheet instead of the page — no luck!)
If you've tapped a bunch of links and decide you want to go back to a previous page, instead of tapping the back button or swiping to go back a page at a time, try this:
If you've already jumped back but decide you want to go forward again, instead of tapping the forward button or swiping forward a page a time, try this:
If you land on a page you love and you want to make sure you remember it, instead of tapping the share button and then choosing what you want to do, try this:
If you close a tab or set of tabs by mistake, or you close them but later wish you hadn't, instead of trying to remember the page, try this:
If you leave a tap open on an iPad or Mac you wish you hadn't, instead of running back to the device, turning it on, going to Safari, and closing the tab, try this:
These Safari shortcuts should have your browsing faster than ever! We're always on the lookout for more, however, so if you've come across a favorite gesture, tell us all about it!
Twitter and Turkey have a bit of a love-hate-hate-hate-hate relationship, insofar as Twitter users love to publish unflattering facts about the government, and the government hates that and tries to get Twitter to censor messages. In this particular case, the government is threatening to outright block Twitter unless it takes down 'offending' messages.
