Amazon has announced they're phasing out their checkout-less grocery stores.

The "Just Walk Out" technology, which was labeled as automatic, was actually 1,000+ Indian employees monitoring you as you walked through the store.https://t.co/uZlOZJgvC0

New: Cyber Safety Review Board releases its report on the Chinese hack of Microsoft cloud-hosted email accounts: https://t.co/DAgwjt5eI8
