Title: The Double-Edged Sword of Advancing Technology

This week's highlights showcase the fascinating, yet sometimes questionable, aspects of technology's integration into our daily lives. From a prankster in the UK bamboozling Trip Advisor into ranking his shed as the top restaurant in London, to the introduction of Safari Technology Preview Release 58 promising an enhanced browsing experience with favicons for macOS users. Additionally, the technology behind mobile payment systems like Square may be subtly nudging consumers towards higher tipping rates than usual, due to pre-set "recommended" tipping amounts. These incidents underscore technology's limitless potential but also caution against its vulnerability to manipulation and unintended consequences in societal behaviors.

Subtopics:
1. The vulnerability of online platforms to humorous yet insightful pranks
2. Enhancements in browser technology with the introduction of Safari Technology Preview
3. The influence of technology on consumer behavior, particularly in the context of tipping practices
