| Apple is replacing the batteries for some 13-inch MacBook Pros Posted: 21 Apr 2018 01:23 PM PDT  Apple has unveiled a program to replace the batteries of some non-Touch Bar 13-inch MacBook Pros for free. The company says that a "limited number" have had their batteries expand. 9to5Mac spotted the program, which will allow users to get the computer's battery replaced for certain non-Touch Bar 13-inch MacBook Pro models. Apple notes that a small number of computers manufactured between October 2016 and October 2017 have a faulty component which causes the battery to expand. The page for the program has a field for owners to submit their computer serial number to check its eligibility. If their computer qualifies, users can bring their MacBook Pro to visit an authorized dealer or a retail store, or can mail it to Apple's repair... |
| Amazon won’t let users review James Comey’s new book if they didn’t purchase it through the site Posted: 21 Apr 2018 12:33 PM PDT  Amazon is restricting users from posting reviews of former FBI Director James Comey's new book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, unless the reviewer has purchased the book through the retailer. Deadline noticed the issue, noting that the restriction is in place for the print and Kindle editions, and that some low-rated reviews might have also been removed as well. A review on audiobook platform Audible, which is owned by Amazon, complains that the user's prior review had also been removed. We've reached out to Amazon and Audible for comment, and will update this post if we hear back. Barnes and Noble doesn't appear to have any such restrictions for its reviews, and its reviews include a number of anonymous one and five... |
| Netflix’s Cargo has a few new ideas for the zombie genre Posted: 21 Apr 2018 12:00 PM PDT  Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our brief breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special event releases. This review comes from the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. It's difficult to find funding, distribution, or even an audience for short films these days. Anyone can shoot a short and put it up online, and the competition from amateurs and free content is brisk enough to make any professional think twice about making a short for any reason except inspiration or fun. But for first-time filmmakers proving their talents, a well-received short film can open some doors and make funding for a feature easier to find. It worked for Neill Blomkamp, whose debut District 9 started as a short called Alive In Joburg. It worked for... |
| The Wikileaks Shop says that Coinbase has suspended its account Posted: 21 Apr 2018 11:40 AM PDT  San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has reportedly closed an account opened by whistleblowing site Wikileaks for its online store, citing violations of its Terms of Service. The Wikileaks Shop is the whistleblower site's merchandise outlet, selling shirts, phone cases, coffee mugs, posters, and other branded paraphernalia. Users can pay for their items with a credit card, or via a variety of cryptocurrencies. The exchange appears to have closed an account owned by the organization for the store, which could mean that it won't be able to collect payment through Coinbase and convert the money into dollars through the service.

| Ikea’s first Bluetooth speakers show it’s still figuring out tech Posted: 21 Apr 2018 11:00 AM PDT  Ikea's been working its way into the tech space for the past few years. It started with wireless chargers, got into smart lights last year, and now it's moving into speakers. I've been trying out the company's first two Bluetooth speakers for the past week, and they feel quintessentially Ikea in ways both good and bad. The first two pairs of Ikea-made Bluetooth speakers went on sale earlier this month: the Eneby 20 and Eneby 30. They're both big, minimal squares with a single dial on them for controlling the volume and turning the unit on and off. The design is pretty forgettable, though you can remove the speaker grille to get a more stylized, industrial appearance. For the most part, though, they look like they were designed to fit... |
| Ox, the truck that can be packed flat like Ikea furniture, is headed to pre-production Posted: 21 Apr 2018 10:00 AM PDT  The Ox, a slab-sided, flatpack vehicle designed to bring mobility to the developing world, just took one step closer to reality. Oil giant Shell announced recently that it would commission a pre-production prototype of the Ox that it will then bring to India to assist in outreach programs. The Ox first came on the scene in 2016. It was the brainchild of Torquil Norman, a philanthropist who runs the Global Vehicle Trust, and Gordon Murray, the South African engineer who helped create the McLaren F1. The truck is absurdly simple to assemble: its designers claim that three people can break it down into 60 parts in just 12 hours. This allows the Ox to be shipped cheaply to developing nations, where aid workers can use it to transport... |
| 7 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 21 Apr 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Westworld starts up again this weekend after a little more than a year away. I had a very love / hate relationship with the first season. I didn't love the watching experience so much as I loved the meta experience of reading speculation about where the show was going, but I'm still really interested to see what happens this season. In particular, I'm curious to see how the writers manage to work the same kinds of big, structural twists into the series that they did in season 1, especially now that viewers know to look for them. I'm torn because part of me feels like this is gimmicky storytelling, but another part has to admit that they've done a masterful job of creating a big puzzle and conversation piece, which is definitely a feat. T... |
| Last call on Amazon Echo discounts, sales on smart TVs and a Verge exclusive deal Posted: 21 Apr 2018 08:00 AM PDT  Between robotic vacuums, voice-activated light switches and virtual assistants, the smart home tech business is booming. As smart home devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous, a hub from which to control your various gadgets is a good idea. We liked Amazon's Echo, the device that introduced Alexa, back when it was introduced in 2015 and many improvements have been made in the intervening three years. Amazon Echo is on sale for $84.99 (usually $99.99) and the smaller Echo Dot is down to $39.99 (usually $49.99). These Amazon devices deals end at 11:59 PM ET on Saturday, April 21. An Echo bundle with smart bulbs from TP-Link is on sale as well for $112.24 (usually $144.93). This week, The Verge secured an exclusive deal from Anker on... |
| The new Star Wars novel goes deep into the past and future of Han Solo Posted: 21 Apr 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters in just over a month. The standalone Star Wars film follows in the footsteps of Rogue One: a story that stands apart from the "saga" backbone of the franchise, ie, the story of the Skywalkers and their fight against the forces of evil in the galaxy. But unlike Rogue One, which featured a cast of brand-new characters to the franchise, Solo will focus on one of the franchise's best-known characters: Han Solo. As we come closer to the film's release date, one thing that has stood out about Solo is how unenthused everyone seems to be for it. Unlike The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi, Solo is a film that, up until recently, I kept forgetting would be the second Star Wars film to hit theaters... |
| This week in tech, 20 years ago Posted: 21 Apr 2018 06:00 AM PDT  As a person who covers day-to-day technology news, I often wonder how my writing might come off to someone in the future — and whether anyone will even be reading it. I can't answer those questions, but I can do the next best thing: look back at what other people were writing 20 years ago. Here are five stories — big and small — that science and tech enthusiasts might have checked out during the week before April 21st, 1998. The hacktivist pedophile hunter who faked it allChristian Valor was the perfect subject for a 1998 Forbes profile. Under the handle "Se7en," he'd tracked down dozens of people who traded child pornography online, wiped their hard drives, and spread word of their crime online. "I can find a pedophile and trash his... |
