| You can now control GarageBand with your face on iPhone X Posted: 27 Mar 2018 03:11 PM PDT  Apple pushed several updates to its music creation software GarageBand today, following education-based announcements including a cheaper iPad and new Crayon stylus earlier in the day. There's an intriguing new feature that makes use of the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera and face tracking features. If you've got Apple's flagship phone, you'll now be able to use your face to control effects and synths, hands-free. Yup, GarageBand will read your facial expressions and translate them into instrument controls. If available for use on an instrument or effect, a small smiley face icon will appear. The parameters that can be adjusted are locked and can't be customized, but there are some fun options. For example, smiling / opening your mouth... |
| Uber won’t renew its permit to test self-driving cars in California Posted: 27 Mar 2018 03:06 PM PDT  Uber will not renew its permit to test autonomous vehicles on public roads in California — further evidence that the company is pulling back from its aggressive plans to launch a self-driving service in the wake of a fatal crash in Arizona which resulted in the death of a pedestrian. In a letter, the California DMV confirmed that Uber's authority to test self-driving cars in the state will end March 31st following the decision not to renew its license. A spokesperson for Uber confirmed that it would not seek to continue testing in California in light of the crash in Arizona. Federal investigators are currently probing the cause of the crash. "We proactively suspended our self-driving operations, including in California, immediately... |
| Watch the Apple education event in 11 minutes Posted: 27 Mar 2018 01:47 PM PDT  Instead of the usual California-based event in March, this year, Apple took its team to Chicago to make its spring announcements, most of which revolved around a new iPad geared toward the education market. Additionally, the company also introduced updates to iWork, a new app for teachers, and a new stylus called Crayon that'll also work with the new iPad. Since the event took place at a high school, we didn't get the normal live stream of the keynote until after it was over. So if you're curious how the announcement actually went down, here's a supercut of the full event as Tim Cook presents the new iPad for schools. |
| Federal Circuit sends Oracle v. Google back for third trial Posted: 27 Mar 2018 01:04 PM PDT  The Federal Circuit has ruled for a second time in Oracle v. Google, the software copyright lawsuit over Google's Android platform. The new decision reverses the district court yet again and sends the case back for a third trial to determine damages for Oracle. In the last trial, Oracle sought almost $9 billion in damages. The litigation has been dragging on for about eight years now, bouncing up and down through appeals and two whole jury trials. It all started because Google wanted to make the Android platform compatible with apps written in the Java language. Rather than license the Java platform from Sun Microsystems, which would allow programs written in Java to run, Google instead chose to write its own version (also known as a... |
| Please stop calling dopamine the ‘pleasure chemical’ Posted: 27 Mar 2018 01:02 PM PDT  Dopamine is one of the most hyped brain chemicals, supposedly linked to everything from sex to gambling. It's common to read, as Business Insider claimed last week, that dopamine is "the pleasure chemical" — but that's not true, and the idea was overturned long ago. "I have friends who have dopamine tattoos because they think it means pleasure," says Arif Hamid, a Gray Fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and postdoctoral researcher at Brown University, who studies the role of dopamine in the brain. The truth is, dopamine might make you pursue something, but that doesn't mean it's responsible for the pleasure itself. Business Insider, for example, claims that dopamine regulates pleasure, but that's not the case. It might... |
| Google buys GIF platform Tenor Posted: 27 Mar 2018 12:49 PM PDT  Google has acquired the GIF platform Tenor for Android, iOS, and desktop, the company announced today. Tenor is going to help Google bring up GIFs inside Google images and other services like Gboard more easily. Notably, Tenor is a GIF platform that Facebook has used in its Messenger service to let users send GIFs more easily. It's unclear if this acquisition will change that. A blog post from Google notes that Tenor will remain a separate brand, and the company will help Tenor find more content and API partners. Google's director of engineering Cathy Edwards wrote in the blog post that users can expect to see a lot more GIFs on Google services going forward and noted that Google images has become more about self-expression in addition... |
| Hell is full of subtweets in Afterparty, a game about outdrinking the devil Posted: 27 Mar 2018 12:29 PM PDT  Best friends Milo and Lola are dead. They've gone straight to hell, and their only chance to return to Earth is to challenge and beat Satan himself in a drinking contest. It sounds like the setup for the worst hangover of all time, but Night School Studio's new game, Afterparty, includes one more diabolical layer: Even in hell, everyone uses Twitter. Or, as it's called in the game, Bicker. Set to release in 2019 from the creators behind Oxenfree, Afterparty's underworld is an international mishmash of cultures, myths, and commonly held religious beliefs. "It was important to us that we're both paying equal amounts of respect and poking equal amounts of fun at all of that, and not really leaning into one particular take," says co-creator... |
| New redesigned Apple Watch Series 4 rumored to arrive later this year Posted: 27 Mar 2018 11:58 AM PDT  Apple is likely to release redesigned Apple Watch Series 4 models in the fall, according to a report from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. As 9to5Mac notes, the updated watches should have larger displays, enhanced health monitoring, and a longer battery life. While Kuo is vague on some details surrounding the redesigned watch, he says it will have a 15 percent larger display, and a "more trendy form factor design." The firm says that these details, combined with expected new sensors to expand health monitoring capabilities and a traditional drop in price with older models, will help bring sales of the Apple Watch to new records. KGI expects that Apple will sell 22 million to 24 million Apple Watch units in 2018, a 30 percent... |
| Google Maps is now available in 39 new languages Posted: 27 Mar 2018 11:38 AM PDT  Google Maps is now available in 39 new languages, the company announced today in a blog post. These languages — including Afrikaans, Danish, Filipino, Hebrew, Icelandic, Mongolian, Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Turkish, and Vietnamese, to name a few — are spoken by around 1.25 billion people. Keep in mind there are a total of 6,909 living languages recorded in the Ethnologue catalogue. Many of the languages Google chose to add today are spoken by large populations. Swahili, in particular, has 8 percent of the African continent speaking it, while Turkish is spoken by 9 percent of people in Europe. The new language additions are coming to the mobile and desktop versions of Google Maps on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows OS. Google Maps... |
| It’s really easy to get Apple’s education discount on the new iPad Posted: 27 Mar 2018 11:24 AM PDT  Apple's education pricing, which usually knocks around 10 percent off the price of most Apple products, is available to the following people:
If you're one of those people, you can get Apple's new iPad for $309, instead of the $329 list price. The special $299 price Apple announced today is for schools, not individual buyers. It's fairly easy to prove if you're in college, or work for a college: you probably have a student ID and / or a college email address. If you're a K-12 teacher, I'm sure you have something equivalent. But how do you prove you're a homeschool parent? Well, the answer is: don't worry about it. T... |
