| Pixel and Nexus owners can now use Android Auto wirelessly Posted: 13 Apr 2018 02:35 PM PDT  I'm happy for you, Pixel and Nexus phone users, because Google enabled wireless Android Auto for you this week. Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Nexus 5X, and Nexus 6P devices running Android Oreo or higher are compatible with the new feature, which automatically loads Android Auto on your car display when you get in the vehicle. You don't need to take your phone out of your pocket or plug it in; it automatically connects over Wi-Fi. So far, the support appears to only be for devices in North America, and the only head units that work wirelessly are available from JVC and Kenwood. These companies introduced their compatible head units at CES this year. Google says it expects "more products to roll out throughout the year," however,... |
| I launched a blood-delivering drone Posted: 13 Apr 2018 01:38 PM PDT  The drone's engines are running, and I have 30 seconds to twist the red safety switch on top of the metal control panel, hold the blue button, and then press the green button to launch the drone. It was like playing a high-tech Bop It, and the payoff was sending a nearly seven-foot-long autonomous fix-winged aircraft zipping off its metal runway and into the sky. I'm at drone delivery startup Zipline's new test site in California's Central Valley to check out the new vehicle it was unveiling: a white-bodied, red-winged, battery-powered glider with a 10-foot wingspan that's designed to air drop packages of medical supplies midflight. The buttons are on a metal control box mounted to a clear plastic shield that stands between my face and... |
| The monkey selfie lawsuit lives Posted: 13 Apr 2018 01:06 PM PDT  Just when you thought you wouldn't hear about the monkey selfie ever again, the legal saga lives once more. Although the parties — the photographer, a self-publishing book company, and PETA, on behalf of the selfie-taking monkey — reached a settlement in September of last year, the Ninth Circuit is now refusing to dismiss the case. This means the court will be coming out with an official appellate decision about the monkey selfie. Back in 2011, nature photographer David Slater left some camera equipment out in the Indonesian rainforest. By Slater's account, an enterprising Sulawesi crested macaque — since identified by anthropologist Antje Engelhardt of the Macaca Nigra Project as the monkey known as "Naruto" — picked up a camera and... |
| Waymo seeks permission to test fully driverless cars in California Posted: 13 Apr 2018 01:04 PM PDT  The California Department of Motor Vehicles has received a second application to test fully driverless vehicles on public roads, and the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the applicant is Waymo, the self-driving unit of Google parent Alphabet. Waymo is already testing fully driverless cars with no human safety driver behind the wheel on public roads in Arizona, so it doesn't come as a huge shock that the company would be interested in performing similar tests on its home turf in California. A spokesperson for Waymo confirmed the application to the Chronicle. A DMV spokesperson acknowledged a second application has been received but declined to name either company until their approval. California began accepting applications for... |
| Google’s latest AI experiments let you talk to books and test word association skills Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:59 PM PDT  Google today announced a pair of new artificial intelligence experiments from its research division that let web users dabble in semantics and natural language processing. For Google, a company that's primary product is a search engine that traffics mostly in text, these advances in AI are integral to its business and to its goals of making software that can understand and parse elements of human language. The website will now house any interactive AI language tools, and Google is calling the collection Semantic Experiences. The primary sub-field of AI it's showcasing is known as word vectors, a type of natural language understanding that maps "semantically similar phrases to nearby points based on equivalence, similarity or relatedness... |
| Apple’s unreleased gold iPhone X revealed by FCC Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:29 PM PDT  A filing from Apple at the Federal Communications Commission reveals images of a gold iPhone X that has yet to be released. The 180-day confidentiality period on the photos has now lapsed, offering a clear view of an iPhone X with a glass backplate featuring the same gold tone as the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus released in September. MacRumors first spotted the now-public photographs. The stainless steel sides are also a shade of gold. Leading up to last year's iPhone event, it had been reported that Apple was working on a gold version of the iPhone X, but that color was never shown on stage, and Apple went with only two color choices: space gray and white/silver. Presumably the company ran into unforeseen manufacturing obstacles with the gold... |
| Apple has had 12 people arrested for leaks, it says in a leaked memo Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:00 PM PDT  Apple has had 12 employees arrested over the course of last year for leaking internal information about future software plans, according to a memo leaked (ironically) today, spotted by Bloomberg. The company said in a strongly worded memo that it had caught 29 people who leaked information last year, and 12 of them were arrested. Those 29 people included employees, contractors, and supply chain partners. "Leakers do not simply lose their jobs at Apple," the memo reads, "In some cases, they face jail time and massive fines for network intrusion and theft of trade secrets, both classified as federal crimes." The memo attempts to curb internal leaks by warning employees that reporters and media outlets may try to... |
| NASA may fly humans on the less powerful version of its deep-space rocket Posted: 13 Apr 2018 11:54 AM PDT  NASA may make some big changes to the first couple flights of its future deep-space rocket, the Space Launch System, after getting a recent funding boost from Congress to build a new launch platform. When humans fly on the rocket for the first time in the 2020s, they might ride on a less powerful version of the vehicle than NASA had expected. If the changes move forward, it could scale down the first crewed mission into deep space in more than 45 years. The SLS has been in development for the last decade, and when complete, it will be NASA's main rocket for taking astronauts to the Moon and Mars. NASA has long planned to debut the SLS with two crucial test missions. The first flight, called EM-1, will be uncrewed, and it will send the... |
| AI is an excuse for Facebook to keep messing up Posted: 13 Apr 2018 11:41 AM PDT  Over the course of an accumulated 10 hours spread out over two days of hearings, Mark Zuckerberg dodged question after question by citing the power of artificial intelligence. Moderating hate speech? AI will fix it. Terrorist content and recruitment? AI again. Fake accounts? AI. Russian misinformation? AI. Racially discriminatory ads? AI. Security? AI. It's not even entirely clear what Zuckerberg means by "AI" here. He repeatedly brought up how Facebook's detection systems automatically take down 99 percent of "terrorist content" before any kind of flagging. In 2017, Facebook announced that it was "experimenting" with AI to detect language that "might be advocating for terrorism" — presumably a deep learning technique. It's not clear... |
| It’s not clear when Apple will make a cheaper HomePod Posted: 13 Apr 2018 11:35 AM PDT  The blogs have activated, and they say a cheaper HomePod might be in the works. That sounds like a reasonable expectation. Apple would hopefully reduce its smart speaker's price eventually, especially considering that it might be selling fewer than 10 HomePods a day in some retail locations. But still, Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI doesn't think we should get excited about a cheaper option anytime soon. His most recent report says Apple could sell between 2–2.5 million HomePods this year, with a million of those coming from the first month's demand. He also pushes cheaper HomePod rumors aside by saying Apple is just "mulling" over a lower-cost speaker, which could mean he hasn't heard of the company fully committing to a specific model just... |
