At Polygon, Charlie Hall tries to track down [the reclusive, possibly nonexistant founder of BitCoin](http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/9/4/4660780/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto?ref=killscreen.com), Satoshi Nakamoto. Good luck!

Elements has the scoop on [this talking program that teaches people how to interact with other people](http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/08/a-machine-that-teaches-people-how-to-talk.html?ref=killscreen.com). Well, it looks better than *Love Plus+*.
