Could Twitter be finally adding an edit button? In new tweets from CEO Jack Dorsey, the answer may actually be yes. After asking users for what they would want to see Twitter add or improve on it 2017 (borrowing the idea from Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky), the co-founder of the popular social network was inundated with requests to allow people to edit their tweets. And judging by his response, the function may be on the way.

Tokyo-listed shares of Nintendo (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 7974.T-JP) plunged 7.1 percent Monday after early reviews of its mobile game "Super Mario Run" disappointed investors. Last week, Nintendo released the long-awaited game featuring its most iconic character for Apple (AAPL)'s iOS devices. The title, however, scored a rating of only 2.5 stars on Apple's app store, and players also appear to be disappointed over the game's $10 price tag to unlock all features. Despite hitting the No. 1 spot in the U.S., it did not make the mark in Japan. "Super Mario Run" is not yet available for Android devices. It is expected to be available for Android users in 2017. The stock is up more than 57 percent year-to-date.

The internet can be a beautiful and horrible place at the same time, and it isn’t weird to sometimes feel like you want to leave — there’s wasn’t an easy way out, until now. Swedish developers Wille Dahlbo and Linus Unnebäck created Deseat.me , which offers a way to wipe your entire existence off the internet in a few clicks. When logging into the website with a Google account it scans for apps and services you’ve created an account for, and creates a list of them with easy delete links.  Every account it finds gets paired with an easy delete link pointing to the unsubscribe page for that service. Within in a few clicks you’re freed from it, and depending on how long you need to work through the entire list, you can be account-less within the hour. If you’re getting tired of social media and internet-induced stress in general, it’s the quickest way to get back to a state of tranquility — and to be honest, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

Even if you use computers on a regular basis, you probably haven’t seen a floppy disk in close to a decade. Their limited storage capacity is laughable by today’s standards, but that’s not to say floppy disks are completely useless yet. At least not if you cram one full of batteries. Instead of a thin piece of plastic covered in magnetic particles that can store a paltry 1.4 MB, inside this faux floppy disk, made by Thumbs Up UK, you’ll find a 2,500 mAh battery that can be used to recharge most smartphones at least a couple of times. On top you’ll find a microUSB port for charging the floppy disk itself, and an old-school USB port for connecting your device’s charging cable. There’s no pricing information just yet, but we’re really hoping they get sold in packs of ten like they were back in the day.

Samsung isn't wasting any time before it makes use of Viv's artificial intelligence know-how. In a an indirect confirmation of rumors, the tech giant has revealed that the upcoming Galaxy S8 will include an AI assistant as one of its star attractions. It's not offering clues as to what this virtual helper will do, but it will let developers "attach and upload services" to extend the AI's functionality beyond what you get out of the box. That's not much different than what Apple and Google are offering for their own assistants, but it may be what Samsung isn't talking about that's special -- Viv can create its own programs and understand complex intent in a way many AIs can't. As for other features, or a release date? Samsung isn't talking. However, a recent Wall Street Journal report claims that Samsung delayed development of the S8 by weeks to help identify the Galaxy Note 7's battery fire problem, potentially pushing back the unvei...
