| Ninja played more Fortnite with Drake, who gave him $5,000 for winning a game Posted: 10 Apr 2018 06:09 PM PDT  Popular streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins once again streamed Epic Games' Fortnite with Drake on his personal Twitch channel this evening. The stream, which had more than 230,000 active viewers at one point, marks the second time the duo have paired up in the battle royale shooter, following a landmark stream last month with NFL player JuJu Smith-Schuster and rapper Travis Scott that broke the record for the most-viewed live stream on Twitch. Drake, who plays on PlayStation 4 under the handle TheBoyDuddus, is a devout Fortnite fan who says he got acquainted with Ninja by watching him play on Twitch and seeing highlights of his best moments on social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube. In this particular stream, Drake appeared to... |
| Read Mark Zuckerberg’s notes from today’s Facebook privacy Senate hearing Posted: 10 Apr 2018 05:57 PM PDT  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress today in a marathon five-hour session about the ongoing Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal. In addition to discussing that situation, and how as many as 87 million users had their information misused by the data mining firm, the conversation also touched on Facebook's role and responsibility in the world as a news source and a massively influential tool for democracy and communication. While there were few bombshell revelations, Zuckerberg did answer a far-reaching and diverse set of questions ranging from whether Facebook is a monopoly to whether the company would ever consider an ad-free paid version. As part of his appearance on Capitol Hill today, Zuckerberg brought along... |
| The 5 biggest takeaways from Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance before the Senate Posted: 10 Apr 2018 05:41 PM PDT  Mark Zuckerberg made his highly anticipated debut before Congress today during a marathon five-hour hearing before a joint session of the Commerce and Judiciary committees. Zuckerberg remained calm and level-headed throughout, and senators were mostly polite and deferential as they sought to understand how Facebook had inadvertently allowed the profiles of up to 87 million people to be collected by the political data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica. In the weeks leading up to the hearing, Facebook made a series of announcements designed to demonstrate that it took the data leak seriously and was working to prevent it from happening again. Zuckerberg referred repeatedly today to these changes, which include making privacy shortcuts easier... |
| Apple ordered to pay patent troll more than $500 million in iMessage case Posted: 10 Apr 2018 04:38 PM PDT  Apple has been ordered by a federal court in Texas today to pay $502.6 million to a patent troll called VirnetX, the latest turn in an eight-year-old legal battle over FaceTime and iMessage patents, according to Bloomberg. Apple and VirnetX have been fighting in court since 2010, when the patent-holding company said the iPhone maker infringed on four of its patents related to internet-based communications. The legal battle has been protracted, and it involves multiple lawsuits and a dizzying number of appeals. Last we heard of the fight was in October 2017, when Apple was ordered to pay $439.7 million, a ruling the company then appealed. VirnetX is a patent-assertion entity, meaning its entire business model rests solely on suing... |

| Zuckerberg shoots down conspiracy theory that Facebook taps your microphone Posted: 10 Apr 2018 03:25 PM PDT  Suspicions that Facebook (and associated apps like Instagram) are secretly recording audio through phone microphones in order to better target ads have refused to die, despite official denials dating all the way back to 2016. In today's Senate hearing, Mark Zuckerberg addressed the urban legend yet again, issuing an absolute denial. "Yes or no, does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about users?" asked Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI). "No," Zuckerberg responded adamantly. He went on to elaborate that Facebook does have access to audio when people record videos on their devices for Facebook, but otherwise it doesn't access your microphone. "Hopefully that will dispel a lot of what I've been... |
| FTC warns console and smartphone makers against limiting consumer warranties Posted: 10 Apr 2018 03:00 PM PDT  The Federal Trade Commission warned six companies today that their warranty policies could be in violation of the law. Although we don't know the identities of these companies, the FTC does note that they're "major companies" that sell cars, cellphones, and video game systems. The companies currently claim their warranties are void if owners use them with unauthorized parts or services or if consumers open them up by removing a seal. Companies can't put warranty stickers on their products and claim the warranty is void if you remove the sticker, the FTC says. They also can't void a warranty if you fix devices yourself or through a third-party service. This has been a contentious issue for consumer electronics, where it's often hard to... |
| Mark Zuckerberg says he didn’t fire Palmer Luckey out of anti-conservative bias Posted: 10 Apr 2018 02:39 PM PDT  As part of his hours-long Senate testimony today, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to assure lawmakers that he didn't fire Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey for his political views. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked Zuckerberg about 2016 reports that the company had removed conservative political news from its trending stories box, and followed up with questions about its moderators' political views. When Zuckerberg said he didn't ask employees for their political views, Cruz followed up with "Why was Palmer Luckey fired?" Cruz is responding to a thorny political mini-scandal from 2016, when The Daily Beast reported that Palmer Luckey was secretly funding a pro-Trump political activism group called Nimble America, which was dedicated to the idea... |
| Google removes original Pixel and Pixel XL from its online store Posted: 10 Apr 2018 02:08 PM PDT  Google's original Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, the beginning of the company's broader push to unify and streamline its in-house hardware efforts, have been removed from the online Google Store, as noted today by AndroidPolice. Google confirmed to The Verge that the devices are no longer available for purchase from the company directly. You can, however, still purchase the original Pixel and Pixel XL devices in a variety of colors and storage sizes from places like Amazon and Best Buy. It makes sense Google would eventually remove the original Pixel phones, as last year's Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have replaced them. But as devices that originally rivaled Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy line in price, it was always refreshing to know... |
| After Facebook hearing, senators roll out new bill restraining online data use Posted: 10 Apr 2018 01:55 PM PDT  A new bill from Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Ed Markey (D-MA) would place significant new constraints on data collection by Facebook and other online services. Dubbed the CONSENT Act (short for Customer Online Notification for Stopping Edge-provider Network Transgressions), the bill requires explicit opt-in consent from users to use, share, or sell any personal information, as well as clear notification any time data is collected, shared, or used. The bill would also add new security and breach reporting requirements. Crucially, the CONSENT Act relies on the Federal Trade Commission to enforce any violations of those new rules. If the bill passes, the result would be a significant expansion of the commission's power and role in... |
