Kudos if you’re reading this in real-time. It’s 2pm (EST) on the Friday before the Memorial Day long weekend and you’re still actively trying to learn. While you might have been winding down this week in anticipation of picnics, backyards, and beer, the tech-world wasn’t skipping a beat.This week we cover ad updates for both Pinterest and Twitter and a new technology that transforms human skin into a computer.
