Tiny Hand font mimics Trump’s handwriting and is now available for free

If you want to strategize like Donald Trump, you need to not only think the way he does, but also write like him. And now you can, thanks to Tiny Hand. The free font, designed by BuzzFeed News’ deputy art director Ben King, is based on The Donald’s handwriting. King scoured the Web looking for examples of Trump’s penmanship to figure out a way to illustrate this satirical piece on the presidential candidate by James Hannaham and decided to create a font with the help of his typographer colleague Mark Davis. The excellent all-caps font is now available for free and…

King of the Hill intro gets the pixel art treatment, and it’s glorious

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/UutPEqjW6NQ/
If you’re old enough to identify with Hank Hill and his buddies from the excellent animated Fox sitcom King of the Hill, you’re going to get a kick out of this beautiful pixel art-style rework of the intro clip by Brazil-based designer Mauri Helme, complete with a chiptune remix of the theme song. Helme’s creation is reminiscent of retro 8-bit and 16-bit video games, and features an art style that requires working on imagery one pixel at a time. If you like what you see, follow him on YouTube and Twitter for more exceptional pixel art, like this piece depicting…

Wikileaks has revealed President Obama’s personal email address, but don’t bother writing to him

One of the caches of emails from Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign head John Podesta released by Wikileaks revealed President Obama’s personal email address: bobama@ameritech.net. Messages sent to and from that address show that Obama near the end of his 2008 presidential campaign was working on setting up his new administration – even before he’d won the seat. The emails show that Podesta recommended Daniel Tarullo’s name in a discussion about who should run Obama’s interim economic staff when he would be sworn in; in another message, Podesta reminded Obama about his recommendation of adding billionaire Warren Buffett to a list…

Survey shows millennials fall for cyber scams more often than seniors

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/bjGbXgf1Osc/
Millennials aren’t as savvy online as they might lead on. A new survey found that half of all tech support scam victims were 18- to 34-year-olds. For comparison sake, the next age group (36 to 54) made up just over a third (34 percent), and the old-timers (over 55) were only 17 percent as likely to be conned. The recent Ipsos poll took place in 12 countries and surveyed 1,000 people on behalf of Microsoft. Two out of three had experienced a tech support scam over the last year. Tech support scams have been around a while, but they’re increasingly…

Tesla: Don’t use your self-driving car for ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/trwMyoXQ6Ic/
Last night, Tesla announced some exciting hardware upgrades for the Model X and Model S that feature fully autonomous driving, at some point anyway. The announcement came just before a video detailing a Tesla ‘navigating a complex urban environment’ — which saw the car get on a drive itself through a suburban neighborhood, get on the freeway and then drop off the driver and park itself. It even ‘recognized’ a no parking zone found another spot. If you planned on grabbing one to make your life as an Uber or Lyft driver easier, however, don’t. The announcement came with this…

This case makes your iPhone look like an exploded Note 7

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/BXpzwG_BhYQ/
Samsung hasn’t been in a joking mood lately, but I’d like to think somewhere deep down inside, even the disparaged weapons maker mobile device manufacturer might get a chuckle over this one. Or, it could go the DMCA route we saw yesterday and threaten to sue the living bejesus out of whoever made the Explo-Sung case. Explo-Sung is an iPhone case that turns your Apple product into a Samsung device — an exploded Note 7, to be exact. The case fits every iPhone from the 5 on up and even features the Samsung logo on back, for ‘authenticity.’ It’s this…
