  3. Google has named a new chief privacy officer who will testify before the US Senate today. Keith Enright will discuss privacy legislation with senators.
  4. Cody Wilson, the 3D printed gun advocate, has quit his company after he was charged with sexual assault. Defense Distributed said it would continue without its founder.

  6. The original founders and ex-employees of blood testing startup Telomere Diagnostics say its health test is flawed. One former employee raised doubts about how clean Telomere Diagnostics' labs were.
