[Q]: The attempts to curtail testimony to congressional investigators became clear this week when  former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and infuriated both sides of the aisle by refusing to answer questions about  his  work during the presidential transition and in the White House.
At some points during  Bannon 's six hours of closed-door testimony   his  attorney took breaks to confer via telephone with the White House counsel's office to clarify what questions could be answered and came back with the same guidance:  Bannon  could not discuss any activities related to the transition or  his  tenure in the White House.
 Bannon 's team negotiated ground rules with the White House counsel's office the week prior to his appearance before the House Intelligence Committee  according to a source familiar with the situation.
The President's personal legal team was aware of discussions between the White House counsel's office and  Bannon 's lawyer about protecting a possible privilege claim. But it wasn't their decision  according to a person familiar with the discussions. The protection of the privilege is a matter for the White House  not the President's legal team  because it relates to the office.
Before the hearing   Bannon 's lawyer informed a staff member of Rep. Devin Nunes  the California Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee  that  Bannon  planned to claim executive privilege on topics beyond the presidential campaign  a source said.
But that information was apparently tightly held. "It caught me personally by surprise" that  Bannon  asserted executive privilege  said Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and Florida Rep. Tom Rooney  the other two Republicans leading the Russia probe along with Conaway  also said they weren't aware of any agreement between the White House and committee staff about the scope of  Bannon 's testimony.
"They wouldn't do that because I'd ask what I think is relevant to ask  and if you've got a legal privilege you can assert it " Gowdy said  adding that  Bannon  was in a "legally indefensible position."
As it became clear on Tuesday that  Bannon  was refusing to answer questions  the committee served  him  with a subpoena to compel  him  to divulge additional information.
But the scope of what  Bannon  was claiming was privileged shocked members from both parties.
" His  version of executive privilege is it covers the transition  the time  he  was at the White House and covers time forever " Gowdy told Fox News Wednesday. "That is no one's definition of executive privilege."
Lawmakers were also offended that  Bannon  had already divulged details about some of  his  post-campaign activities in Michael Wolff's explosive book "Fire and Fury " but then refused to discuss those events with the committee.  Bannon 's attorney also informed members that he would  in fact  answer those questions when he meets with special counsel Robert Mueller's team because executive privilege doesn't apply to Mueller's investigation.
Democrats charge that  Bannon 's appearance before the House committee marks the broadest attempt so far at using privilege to shield events that occurred from the moment Trump was elected.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility of holding  Bannon  in contempt  but at least one GOP member -- Gowdy -- suggested it was unlikely.
House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the issue of whether witnesses like  Bannon  might be abusing the bounds of executive privilege.
Still   Bannon 's stonewalling sparked a sharp warning from Conaway -- the Republican leading the House Russia probe -- to White House aides who might follow the Bannon model: "We're going to insist on getting questions we need to answer our report."

[Q]: For example  if you are a Scroll subscriber who is not a subscriber to The New York Times you would get five ad-free articles. Times subscribers would get unlimited ad-free articles. Scroll would make it easy to become subscribers. "Our mission is frictionless access to a thriving free press so anything we can do to help remove friction for a user while driving revenue to publishers is important " said Tony Haile  co-founder and CEO of Scroll  in an interview.
The founding CEO of online publishing analytics company Chartbeat   Haile  launched Scroll with Sachin Doshi  former vice president of Content at Spotify  and Kushal Dave  the former head of consumer engineering at Foursquare.
With Scroll  publishers could make "more money than they would have made from advertising in every scenario  " Haile  says in a blog post on the announcement.
Other partners with Scroll include The Philadelphia Inquirer and Talking Points Memo. And Scroll is seeking additional ones as it approaches its launch (you can sign up to test Scroll when its available at Scroll.com.) "But weâre thankful for the support and faith of this growing group of innovators  particularly our new investor Gannett  as we build towards an open web where premium content can make money by delivering the experience consumers want  " Haile  said.

[Q]: On a whim  Michael Simon sprinted off to Hungary after finishing business school in St. Louis. Twenty years later  he has carved out an unusual niche as perhaps Hungary's most successful software entrepreneur.
 Simon's latest creation to bubble out of Budapest is LogMeIn  a 400-worker outfit that makes software that allows one computing device to take control of another. Using this technology  a person can tap into a home or office PC while on the road with a laptop. Customer support technicians also use LogMeIn's products to take control of people's machines and fix their PC problems.
 Simon's Hungarian tale started in 1992 after he finished business school at Washington University. While pursuing an internship  an opportunity popped up in Budapest.
 "I bought the Lonely Planet guide to Eastern Europe on a shoestring " Simon recalled. "It described Budapest as the Paris of Eastern Europe  and I thought  'That sounds good."'
 In Budapest  Simon discovered a wealth of smart engineers fresh out of school and hungry for opportunities -- for relatively modest wages.
 He ended up running a software firm that contracted with companies outsourcing their engineering work. Then in 1995 he founded Uproar  a software company that built Web versions of games like Family Feud and bingo.
 Simon kept in touch with the engineering team that had managed to make the most of limited computing power and turned to them again when Marton Anka  a Hungarian software engineer  approached him with the remote access software he had been selling out of his apartment.
 A closely held piece of technology  nicknamed Gravity  lets the company handle all these connections at a lower cost than other companies can  Simon said.
 "You can think of Gravity as sort of a connectomatic " he said. "We can serve hundreds of millions of devices from an extraordinarily small number of computers."
