Investigating the Irresistible: A Conversation with Adam Alter - Behavioral Scientist - 0 views

  •  
    "It happened almost every night around 10 p.m. I'd plan to spend 30 seconds setting my iPhone alarm and then get into bed to read (a paper book). But after I set the alarm, some other part of my consciousness would guide my fingers towards other apps as if I was navigating a Ouija board. I'd check Instagram. And Twitter. One last sweep of my email accounts and any other app that could possibly be checked (is looking at Venmo really necessary?), and then I'd navigate to Facebook and Twitter on my Safari browser (I took the apps off my phone so I'd spend less time on them-#fail). An hour later, I'd emerge from my possessed state a bleary-eyed zombie. What had I been doing for the last hour? Where was my self control?"

Ford Recalls 2 Million of Its Popular F-150 Trucks Citing Fire Risk | Digital Trends - 1 views

  •  
    "Ford has issued a recall of approximately two million Ford F-150 Regular Cab and SuperCrew Cab vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. The automaker has found a fault with the seat belt pretensioner, a mechanism which tightens any belt slack in a crash. Some systems, including the F-150's, use a small explosive charge to lock the belt in place when an impact occurs. In its investigation, Ford discovered that some front seat belt pretensioners can generate excessive sparks when they deploy, which could lead to a fire around the B pillar, the section behind the front seats where the belt retraction device is contained."
