project loonGood morning! Here's the tech news you need to know this (Black) Friday.

1. Google is about to test something secretive across all of the US — and it sounds exactly like its Project Loon balloons. The company has asked the FCC for a license to test experimental radios starting on January 1st.

2. Raspberry Pi has launched an insanely small and cheap new computer. It's called the Raspberry Pi Zero, and it costs just $5.

3. DoorDash, a food-delivery startup that's rumored to be raising at a $1 billion valuation, has some shady instructions for its delivery workers. The DoorDash training video obtained by Business Insider shows DoorDash telling Dashers to follow certain practices that could mislead businesses and customers.

4. London is planning to force black cabs to accept card payments before the end of 2016. The city — like many others around the world — is grappling with the rise of ride-hailing apps like Uber.

5. Facebook has updated its global paid baby leave policy to include four months of paid leave for new fathers, no matter which Facebook office they work in. The move could force other large technology companies to follow suit and adopt similar policies.

6. Anonymous has taken down an ISIS website and replaced it with an ad for Viagra. Hacking group Ghost Sec, which is related to Anonymous, took the site down and replaced it with a message telling readers that there was "Too Much ISIS".

7. A research firm called Wristly has found that Apple Watch owners check their wrist about 60 to 80 times a day. Perhaps unsurprisingly, checking the time is what people use their Apple Watches for the most.

8. The company behind the failed mini-drone Zano has shed light on how more than $3.5 million in funding was spent. 46% of the money went on stock and manufacturing, while 14% went on wages.

9. Nokia is getting back into the smartphone game. Here's what its new phone could look like.

10. Slack, the $2.8 billion business messaging app, has launched its first ad campaign. The billboard campaign is launching in four US cities: Cleveland, Charlotte, Minneapolis, and Milwaukee.
