Technology Triple Trivia

TTT

3 Questions. 3 Hints. 3 Answers.

April 26, 2016

  1. What do I spy with my little eye?

Hint:

Answer: further to a complaint brought forward by the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics, the state’s Supreme Court recently ruled that two defense lawyers accused of spying on a represented plaintiff’s Facebook page can be properly tried for ethical misconduct.  There is no precedent in this area and lawyers on both sides are scratching their heads.  The moral of the story is: know your friends.  Read more here.

2. When is it time to move to the couch?

Hint:

Answer: when your partner’s mattress tattles on you via SMS.  The infidelity-detecting mattress, with 24 built-in sensors “senses any “suspicious activity” and immediately tells the owner via a smartphone notification when the mattress is in use and how many people are on it.” Read the details here.

3. When is it best to be “average”?

Hint:

Answer: following in the footsteps of hacked dating site Ashley Madison, data for 1.1 million alleged members of the BeautifulPeople.com dating website has been leaked online.  Membership to BeautifulPeople.com is an exclusive matter: applicants must submit photographs, which are subsequently rated for 48 hours by existing members.  Getting enough votes results in a membership offer.  Apparently credit card information is one of the few things that was not compromised — and the data affected is pre July 2015.  Read the story here.
