| Uber suspended from autonomous vehicle testing in Arizona following fatal crash Posted: 26 Mar 2018 06:12 PM PDT  Uber has been suspended from testing autonomous vehicles in the state of Arizona following last week's fatal crash in the city of Tempe, according to the Associated Press. The accident, which occurred at night and coincided with autonomous test driver Rafaela Vasquez looking down right before the moment of impact, left pedestrian 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg dead. It is likely the first death caused by a self-driving vehicle, and the aftermath of the event has been severe for Uber, with the company immediately suspending self-driving operations in the state amid a US National Transportation Safety Board investigation. The Tempe Police Department is also conducting an investigation, which will eventually be turned over to the Maricopa... |
| Foxconn buys Belkin, Linksys, and Wemo Posted: 26 Mar 2018 05:41 PM PDT  The Taiwanese company known best for manufacturing iPhones, Foxconn, will soon be the company behind some of the best known routers and other computer accessories. A subsidiary of Foxconn, Foxconn Interconnect Technology, announced today that it would acquire Belkin, which also owns the brands Linksys and Wemo. Belkin, based in California, has been around for 35 years and is known today for creating an array of computer and phone accessories, including wireless chargers, laptop docks, and phone cases. Belkin purchased Linksys, which is well known for its home routers, in 2013. And it's been running a smart home system called Wemo for more than five years now. That's a major shift for... |
| Four times people cried ‘aliens’ — and four times they were wrong Posted: 26 Mar 2018 03:12 PM PDT  Discovered in Chile's Atacama Desert in 2003, this tiny, 6-inch-long mummy, with its pointed head and atypical number of ribs, stoked theories that aliens have visited Earth. Scientists have had genetic proof that the remains are human since 2013, and a new genetic analysis reveals that mutations in genes related to growth might explain the mummy's atypical bones. The results, which have been making headlines, are a reminder that the truth may well be out there — but it isn't aliens. A series of discoveries this past year make it clear that, sadly, it never is. Sad but trueScientists have struggled to explain why this mummy, known as Ata, is the size of a fetus and yet has bones as developed as those of a six- to eight-year-old child,... |
| Bitcoiin founders and brand ambassador Steven Seagal depart after raising over $75 million Posted: 26 Mar 2018 03:07 PM PDT  Actor Steven Seagal started supporting the "Bitcoiin" cryptocurrency last year as the new token's brand ambassador. Now that relationship is over, as Bitcoiin posted a statement today that Seagal and the unnamed founders of the coin were walking away from the project since the token sale has ended. "From this point on Bitcoiin will function within its ecosystem and become a genuinely anonymous currency with no individual or individuals having control over the entity!" the post declares. Bitcoiin has been a dubious coin since its launch and this mysterious exit, which removes the only recognizable figure associated with the coin — Steven Seagal — doesn't help. It's also unknown how much money the ICO raised, although Bitcoiin said it... |
| Man with excellent taste in music controls his Google speakers with RFID tags Posted: 26 Mar 2018 02:04 PM PDT  Define "useful." I mean, sure, it's not hard to talk to Google or Alexa and ask for music. They mishear you half the time, but that's probably your fault. So why would you bother to print and craft dozens of custom RFID tags to control your music? Don't you have must-see television to be watching? Well, someone named "hoveeman" on GitHub and YouTube can't hear the haters because he's too busy listening to the Trolls soundtrack and Pet Sounds on his custom-built, whole-home, RFID-controlled audio system, which was recently spotted by Android Police. Hoveeman wired an RFID reader to a Raspberry Pi Zero and hid them under a table. When he swipes one of his album art-adorned RFID tags, the Pi Zero informs his Home Assistant home automation... |
| China’s spiraling space station will plunge to Earth in about a week Posted: 26 Mar 2018 02:00 PM PDT  After a couple years of anticipation, China's first human space station — Tiangong-1 — will drop out of its orbit in about a week and plunge into Earth's atmosphere. The European Space Agency has pinpointed the vehicle's reentry date to sometime between March 30th and April 2nd, with the event most likely happening on April Fools' Day. Once the station descends, it will finally put an end to all of the anxiety over the location of this vehicle's landing. Tiangong-1's fall has caused a lot of concern because China no longer has control of the space station. The country's engineers can't just fire up the vehicle's engines again and deposit it over open ocean. Tiangong-1 is pretty heavy, too. It weighed nearly 19,000 pounds (8,500... |
| Elon Musk says Boring Company will sell ‘Lego-like’ kits of excavated rock Posted: 26 Mar 2018 01:31 PM PDT  Elon Musk has sold millions of dollars of branded hats and flamethrowers, and now, he says his Boring Company will sell "interlocking bricks" made from the rock that its tunnel-creating machines excavate from the ground. In other words, think Lego, he says, except giant, heavy, and made of earth. Musk says that the Boring Company will sell "kits" of bricks, starting with one that makes it easy to build things from "ancient Egypt," like replicas of the pyramids, the Sphinx, or the Temple of Horus. The bricks will be "lifesize," though it's not clear what that actually means. And they'll be bored through the middle, to save some weight, but still rated to withstand California's earthquakes. (As is typical, Musk announced the idea in... |
| Europol arrests suspect in bank heists that stole $1.2 billion using malware Posted: 26 Mar 2018 12:52 PM PDT  After a four year investigation, Europol announced it has arrested the suspected leader of a crime syndicate that stole $1.2 billion from over 100 banks in more than 40 countries using malware. According to Europol, the suspect was arrested by the Spanish National Police in Alicante, Spain, with support from the FBI, Romanian, Belarusian, and Taiwanese authorities, along with cybersecurity companies. Beginning in 2013, the crime syndicate used multiple malware campaigns — the first called Anunak, followed by more complex versions known as Carbanak and Cobalt — to access bank employees' computers using phishing scams, and then take over bank systems and access the servers that controlled ATMs. The group used that access to remotely... |
| HQ’s Ready Player One and Nike ad deals show just how lucrative mobile audiences can be Posted: 26 Mar 2018 12:49 PM PDT  Mobile trivia game show HQ has landed its first high-profile pair of sponsorships slated to debut this week: a Ready Player One tie-in courtesy of Warner Bros. and a surprise giveaway in conjunction with Nike's celebratory Air Max Day. The marketing deals mean HQ, which hosts twice-daily live trivia games that give away real cash, will be more than able to cover the cost of larger-than-normal prize pools on top of experimenting with its ongoing and unprecedented live video format. According to AdAge, which first reported the news of the RPO deal, HQ will host a $250,000 game this Wednesday that will feature questions related to the film adaptation of Ernest Cline's VR-focused pop culture love letter. It's not clear if HQ will also run... |
| A day in real-life Westworld from a host’s perspective Posted: 26 Mar 2018 12:45 PM PDT  At 2018's South By Southwest Conference, HBO and the marketing agency Giant Spoon created an epic promotion for Westworld, HBO's series about a far-future Old West theme park where the rich elite play out their fantasies of heroism and villainy. Giant Spoon significantly rebuilt Texas' existing J. Lorraine Ghost Town as a two-acre, real-life version of Sweetwater, a small Westworld town packed with plot hooks for visitors. They populated it with more than 60 costumed actors playing "hosts," realistic humanoid robots that play a significant part in the Westworld story. Our SXSW culture team visited Sweetwater, and in these three linked articles, we each explore our versions of the experience, both within the story and behind the scenes. T... |
