This is a story about an incident that happened to 22-year-old web developer Jacky Alciné, the racist slur that caught him off-guard, and the machines behind it.

A round-up of all the big questions we should be asking as the kids head back to school.

Why would anyone buy six sweaters, only to never wear them? We visited Etsy's Usability Lab in search of some answers.

We check back in with two pioneers in space travel: businesswoman Anousheh Ansari, returned space tourist, and longtime space-enthusiast Lina Borozdina.

Hint: High school is pretty much how you remember it, but the mean girls don't have to look you in the eyes anymore.

Lina Borozdina took out a second mortgage. Anousheh Ansari forewent motherhood. All either of them wanted was to see earth from above, and the way they tell it, it's worth the sacrifice.
