Wells Fargo CEO Commits to Fixing Fake Account Scandal

It remains one of the most embarrassing and customer-enraging PR crises in recent memory.

Nissan Jumps Deeper into the Electric Car Market

Maybe you’ve never heard of the Leaf, but Nissan’s first all-electric car launched back in 2010, is still the world’s top-selling electric vehicle. While more than 250,000 units have sold worldwide, those numbers don’t reach initial sales targets … so Nissan has gone back to the drawing board.

Tech Companies Lining Up to Sue President Trump

Nearly 100 of the nation’s and, in some cases, the world’s largest companies recently filed a legal brief “condemning” President Trump’s executive order on immigration. The tech sector, in particular, has been very critical of Mr. Trump’s policy, but this takes it a step further.

Warrants Can Breach Social Media Privacy

Online privacy is something a lot of people get wrong. From sharing those pointless “legal warnings” on Facebook to believing Snapchat images are really “gone for good” people have made a lot of bad assumptions about their social media activity. A recent ruling by at New Jersey appeals court may just serve to destroy even more erroneous assumptions about internet privacy. Think your Twitter account is totally private and sacred?
