For the first time, a primitive movie has been encoded in -- and then played back from -- DNA in living cells. DeoxyMoviecleic Acid?
Or:
Don't download that movie, it's a virus!

Users now have the power to sync up anything, including photos and videos from cameras, SD cards, and USB devices, instead of their files remaining stuck in one place. Now you can save the NSA some time when they want to scan all your files

An aspect of artificial intelligence that’s sometimes overlooked is just how good it is at creating fake audio and video that’s difficult to distinguish from reality. I'm sure it will never be used inappropriately

Online harassment is an all-too-common occurrence in the U.S., with 41 percent of adults saying they have experienced harassment online, and 66 percent of people saying they’ve seen it happen to others, according to a new Pew Research Center study. And your mama dresses you funny

I was harassed by this company doing an on-line study of on-line harassment!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

The breakdown of numbers is interesting. Offensive name calling is in the 23-27% range and stalking/threats/continued harassment, are all consistently in the 5-7% range. (Note that this counts recipients, but given the broadness of the sample, I suspect it reflects about the same percentage as perpetrators.)
There was a recent poll that found 25% of people believed that one-night-stands by people in relationships wasn't cheating.
I suspect if you make a Venn diagram of the name calling and the latter group, it's almost a complete overlap and would supports my theory that about 25% of people are genuine assholes. The smaller stalker group suggests that about 7% of people are sociopaths (and are likely almost entirely a subset of the a**hole group.)

I presume that grammatical error was ironic then?

Whether it's caffeinated or decaffeinated, coffee is associated with lower mortality, which suggests the association is not tied to caffeine "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons"

I just skimmed it but they probably totally ignored that coffee drinkers usually have a routine. I also didn't notice anything about 1-2 pots a day
