| T-Mobile and Sprint: all the news about the merger Posted: 30 Apr 2018 04:45 PM PDT  After years of on-again, off-again discussions, T-Mobile and Sprint finally came to an agreement in April 2018 to merge into a single company. The ultimate product will be a much larger T-Mobile that rivals the size of its biggest two wireless competitors, Verizon and AT&T, and is led by existing T-Mobile CEO John Legere, while Sprint's leadership takes seats on the board. What will this mean for consumers and the wireless industry at large? Does the agreement stand a chance of clearing regulatory scrutiny? Follow along here for the latest news and analysis on the long-in-the-making merger. |
| UNICEF wants you to mine cryptocurrency for charity Posted: 30 Apr 2018 03:15 PM PDT  UNICEF has launched a page that lets you donate to its Australian branch without giving any money at all. All you need to do is give away part of your computing power to let it mine cryptocurrency. Over 2,600 people have already donated through what UNICEF calls The Hopepage. Users are able to set what percentage of processing power they're willing to give the website out of a max of 80 percent. (Be careful not to set the percentage too high.) The longer they stay on the site, the more cryptocurrency they're helping to mine on UNICEF's behalf. The site says the cryptocurrency will go toward giving children life-saving supplies "like safe water, therapeutic food, and vaccines." Once you click Start Donating, a pop-up in the browser... |
| Amazon Web Services starts blocking domain-fronting, following Google’s lead Posted: 30 Apr 2018 03:08 PM PDT  A week after Google shut down a method for app developers to skirt internet censorship, Amazon is doing the same. In a post last week, Amazon Web Services announced that it would implement a new set of enhanced domain protections specifically designed to stop domain-fronting, a practice that lets developers disguise their traffic to evade network blocks. In the post, Amazon characterized the change as an effort to stamp out malware. "Tools including malware can use this technique between completely unrelated domains to evade restrictions and blocks that can be imposed at the TLS/SSL layer," the post explained. "No customer ever wants to find that someone else is masquerading as their innocent, ordinary domain." Domain-fronting works by... |
| WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum is leaving Facebook after clashing over data privacy Posted: 30 Apr 2018 02:34 PM PDT  WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum is leaving the company amid arguments with parent company Facebook over data privacy and the messaging app's business model, according to a report from The Washington Post. Koum, together with his fellow co-founder Brian Acton, sold WhatsApp to Facebook in 2014 for an eye-popping sum of $19 billion, $3 billion of which consisted of Facebook stock granted to both Koum and Acton, who left the company back in September. Koum confirmed his departure in a personal Facebook post today. Koum's Facebook post does not mention any inner turmoil at WhatsApp or address any of The Washington Post's reporting, which suggests Koum took issue with Facebook's approach to data privacy and encryption:

| Sonos is reportedly working on a Playbar update with Alexa voice controls and an HDMI input Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:40 PM PDT  FCC filings submitted by Sonos in March suggest that the company is working on a new speaker, potentially a follow-up to the Playbar. The filings, which were first spotted by Variety, reference model number S14. The device will reportedly incorporate an HDMI port, which would be new for the Playbar. (It previously relied on an optical in port.) The label filing, which you can see below, depicts a microphone. This probably means the mysterious speaker will ship with support for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant, just like the Sonos One from last year. This is the label filing; it looks similar to the Sonos One's device interface: Although most publications — including German website iFun, which seemingly found a... |
| Logan Paul is ending his daily vlogs Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:15 PM PDT  Logan Paul announced in a 16-minute vlog over the weekend that he is ending regular updates on his popular daily vlogging channel, which launched less than two years ago and currently has over 17 million subscribers. According to the video, Paul is abandoning the daily model because he "wants to exercise his creativity in different ways... If anyone is going to end my career, okay, it's going to be me," he added. He then launched into a 10-minute segment in which he and his friends pick up his $150,000-plus custom Mercedes SUV. The move comes after widespread criticism of Paul for his insensitivity and poor behavior in multiple incidents, including a vlog from late December where he filmed the body of an apparent suicide victim in a... |
| Everything coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now in May Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:14 PM PDT  Summer movie season kicked off early this year with the release of Avengers: Infinity War, but in spite of its history-making performance at the box office, audiences no doubt have an appetite for things other than Marvel superheroes. Fortunately, May will bring a lot of new alternative options to television screens. Netflix is adding several films and TV shows to its original content lineup, including the zombie movie Cargo on May 18th, the Amanda Seyfried and Clive Owen science fiction film Anon on May 10th, and the fourth season of the comedy series stalwart Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on the 30th. The second season of Dear White People is premiering on May 4th. And for viewers interested in timely comedy programming: former Daily Show... |
| T-Mobile says it has seven major competitors, which is complete nonsense Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:07 PM PDT  One of the big issues T-Mobile will have to fight back against if it wants to successfully merge with Sprint is market consolidation. If the two companies merge, the US will go from four major wireless service providers to three, therefore reducing competition. Given how aggressive (and successful) T-Mobile has been over the last several years — ever since its proposed merger with AT&T failed — you can see why this might be an issue. But if you ask T-Mobile, that isn't what's happening at all. In its merger announcement, T-Mobile directly addresses the competition issue by arguing that, in fact, there are currently "at least seven or eight big competitors" in its industry. Sorry, what? Conventional wisdom, as well as facts and history,... |
| Oculus is developing an immersive theater VR experience with real actors Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:06 PM PDT  Oculus VR is developing an immersive theater experience to debut next year that will feature real-world actors who perform in virtual reality using motion capture. The experience is being billed as indie game Journey meets interactive theater show Sleep No More, according to Yelena Rachitsky, an executive producer of experiences at Oculus who detailed the project in an interview with CNET. The central idea is to use trained actors who perform live while viewers interact with them from the comfort of their homes, with everyone using Oculus Rift headsets to enter into and experience the shared world. Oculus hopes that blending the benefits of immersive theater with the unique experimental benefits only VR can provide might be a winning... |
| Women of Color of Time’s Up asks the music industry to cut ties with R. Kelly Posted: 30 Apr 2018 01:00 PM PDT  For the first time since advocating for the prosecution of Harvey Weinstein, the Time's Up collective has singled out an alleged abuser: R&B star Robert Kelly. Women of Color of Time's Up, a subcommittee of the larger group specifically organizing around issues that affect women and girls of color, released a statement this morning announcing their support of #MuteRKelly, an online campaign asking Live Nation and Sony Music to cancel R. Kelly's tour dates and drop his recording contract. Women of Color of Time's Up, which includes Ava DuVernay, Shonda Rimes, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell, are also asking other "corporations and venues," including Kelly's record label RCA Records, to cut ties with the singer. Over the course of nearly two... |
