The hacker group behind the attack on Sony Corp.’s film division released another mass of private data on Monday, including a number of corporate emails. The group, which calls itself “Guardians of Peace,” or GOP, threatened Sony Pictures Entertainment with further action if it were to release the comedy film “The Interview.”
“Stop immediately showing the movie of terrorism which can break the regional peace and cause the War!” the hackers wrote. “You, SONY & FBI, cannot find us.”
GOP also said on the file-sharing site that it did not send an email that threatened Sony employees. The studio has declined to comment on the attack, which hackers claim includes 100 terabytes of data.
NASA Wants To 3D-Print Pizza In Space
The Washington Post reports.
Still no jetpacks, but your inner 9-year-old has to be excited about this: NASA is developing a 3D printer that can print "nutritious and flavorful" food during space travel.
The agency says its current space food is "not adequate in nutrition or acceptability through the five-year shelf life required for a mission to Mars, or other long duration missions." So the new printer would combine powders, water, and oil a la carte to create meals that better suit an astronaut's individual tastes and needs.
facebook is giving you more control over your news feed

Facebook Is Giving You More Control Over Your News Feed:-
The switch is part of an effort by Facebook to give its users more control over the site's mysterious News Feed algorithm. One key new feature: You’ll now be able to easily see who and what most frequently fills up your News Feed.
Under the updated News Feed settings (to be introduced as an added tab called Manage News Feed), you can find out which friends, pages and groups you've seen the most over the past week. According to Facebook's explanation of the algorithm, your feed is based on who and what you interact with when you're posting, liking and commenting.
We reached out to Facebook to find out if the profiles you browse but don't interact with (in other words, the people you Facebook-stalk) affect your most-seen list. A spokesperson told us the News Feed algorithm takes into account over 100,000 factors, including the profiles you visit, to determine what shows up in your News Feed. But actions, such as clicking on links and liking posts, are weighed more heavily than just browsing.
The update also gives users more control over what content they see in their News Feeds. Previously, you could "unfollow" people and groups or say, "I don't want to see this," to hide posts similar to those you truly despise. Now you will have an additional option: to merely "See Less," limiting the amount of such content you see, but still giving you an occasional taste.
