First Wednesdays Meetup #56: A New Hope

As an experiment, we're on Meetup now! The days of spamming everyone via various mailing lists over. Now you'll be spammed on Meetup instead.

First Wednesdays is a regular meetup of technologists and technology-interested folks local to the Charlottesville, VA area. We often like to talk about technology, business, and related matters -- but anyone is welcome to attend regardless of their profession, and we hope we see you there.

Here are some recent technology topics you can use for conversation with your fellow attendees:

• Hungary's proposed Internet tax is tabled after mass protests
• Apple Pay competitor CurrentC is hacked; hundreds of beta users have their email addresses stolen
• HP introduces Sprout, a new computing form factor geared towards creativity
• Google announces Nexus 6, Nexus 9
• Yahoo Sports homepage attacked and defaced
• US law-enforcement agencies move to stop Apple and Google from encrypting mobile data
