| Spotify claims it actually had a better Weeknd than Apple Music Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:39 PM PDT  Yesterday, The Verge reported that The Weeknd's latest album, My Dear Melancholy, had a very strong debut on Apple Music, pulling in 26 million streams in the first 24 hours. The lead single, "Call Out My Name" pulled in an additional 6 million streams, surpassing the 3.5 million streams the single pulled in on Spotify during the same period, according to The Weeknd's label, Republic Records. Obviously that would be a huge win for Apple Music given that it has around 120 million less users than Spotify, didn't have two exclusive music videos from the project, and didn't have The Weeknd promoting its service. But there's a twist! Spotify says the numbers it initially gave Republic Records were in fact wrong. "Call Out My Name" was... |
| Mark Zuckerberg says he is a ‘power user of the internet’ Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:27 PM PDT  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg held a call with reporters today to answer questions about the sweeping changes the company made to its third-party app developer platform, as well as the revelation that as many as 87 million users — not 50 million as previously thought — may have had their personal data misused by Cambridge Analytica. Slate's Will Oremus asked whether the chief executive himself would have used apps like the one designed by Cambridge psychology professor Aleksandr Kogan, called "thisisyourdigitallife," that siphoned the data of around 270,000 users and all of their friends, which Kogan then packaged and sold. The CEO's answer was candid and will likely enter the pantheon of iconic Zuck quotes, which also includes his... |
| Jay and Silent Bob are coming to virtual reality, whether you’re ready or not Posted: 04 Apr 2018 04:17 PM PDT  Filmmaker Kevin Smith first broke into the film industry thanks to his no-budget, 1994 indie comedy Clerks, and now that movie's two most memorable characters will be coming to virtual reality. Jay and Silent Bob VR will be a live-action comedy series that will be written and directed by Smith, shot from the point of view of his Silent Bob character as Jason Mewes' Jay "leads the way through a string of idiotic adventures." It's just one of several VR projects in development that were announced today by STX Entertainment's Surreal division, which handles VR and immersive entertainment production for the company. Among the other titles are an untitled live-action series from John Wick writer Derek Kolstad, about a government agent sent to... |
| Facebook will release more data about election interference, but only after the election Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:12 PM PDT  Amid growing pressure to remove bad actors from Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday that the company would likely release more information about problematic content posted to the service during elections. But to ensure the accuracy of the data, Zuckerberg said, the reports will likely come after the elections are over. The move could help government officials, academic researchers, and concerned citizens understand whether Facebook's increased attention to abuse is working — but the timing could make it harder for grasp what's happening when it arguably matters most. During a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Zuckerberg took questions on a range of subjects surrounding the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal and... |
| JVC’s first DLP 4K projector is $2,499 Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:38 PM PDT  JVC has a number of 4K projectors, but the cheapest model is $3,999, and all of them use JVC's own special-blend D-ILA technology. But JVC is finally stooping down to serve the masses with a more traditional DLP-based 4K HDR projector at a (relatively) affordable $2,499 price point. JVC's new LX-UH1 is a 2,000 lumen projector with a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and support for HDR10. JVC has kindly included a wide range of vertical and horizontal lens-shifting angles, and a touch of zoom, so it should be relatively easy to install this projector and get the image aimed at the correct spot on your wall. Without some in-depth reviews, it's hard to tell what makes JVC's new projector $1,000 better than the Optoma or BenQ 4K... |
| Google employees demand the company pull out of Pentagon AI project Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:03 PM PDT  Last month, it was announced that Google was offering its resources to the US Department of Defense for Project Maven, a research initiative to develop computer vision algorithms that can analyze drone footage. In response, more than 3,100 Google employees have signed a letter urging Google CEO Sundar Pichai to reevaluate the company's involvement, as "Google should not be in the business of war," as reported by The New York Times. Work on Project Maven began last April, and while details on what Google is actually providing to the DOD are not clear, it is understood that it's a Pentagon research initiative for improved analysis of drone footage. In a press statement, a Google spokesperson confirmed that the company was giving the DOD a... |
| Trolls and conspiracy theorists are making the YouTube shooter a free speech martyr Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:03 PM PDT  Earlier today, San Bruno police said that a woman who shot three people at YouTube's headquarters yesterday was probably motivated by anger at the platform. The family of 39-year-old Nasim Aghdam, who died of an allegedly self-inflicted gunshot wound, said she complained that YouTube "ruined her life." On a personal webpage, she wrote that there was "no free speech in [the] real world," and that YouTube intentionally suppressed her videos on veganism and animal rights. Aghdam's evidence for this claim of individual censorship was limited: YouTube had pulled ads from some of her videos and put one behind an age-restricted filter. But amid a larger debate over how YouTube should treat its users, some people are all but blaming YouTube for... |
| All of Facebook’s privacy fixes have broken Tinder Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:32 PM PDT  Facebook has broken Tinder and users who were booted off the dating app have taken to Twitter to complain about it, as spotted first by Select All. Ever since the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal, in which as many as 87 million users had data improperly shared with the UK data mining firm, Facebook has been rolling out more security and data privacy updates. Today, however, the company announced sweeping changes to many of its most prominent APIs, restricting developer access in a number of crucial ways. Soon after, Tinder users started noting on Twitter that they had been kicked off the dating app and couldn't log back on, as those who used Facebook Login were caught in an infinite loop that appears to be related to an unknown... |
| This hard drive offers 1TB of storage for photos and an app that lets you edit on the go Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:08 PM PDT  For anyone who suffers from a long wait while attempting to upload large video and photo files onto their computer, there's a new Kickstarter for a portable hard drive that says it can back up your files and offer faster on-the-go file uploading services you can use right after taking photos. The company suggests you can do away with bringing your laptop to outdoor photo shoots and instead use its mobile app for editing files and uploading to Dropbox. The Kickstarter is for a device called the Gnarbox 2.0, which lets you insert your SD card into the hard drive and use it as an additional backup tool. It's an upgrade to its predecessor, the Gnarbox 1.0, which already offered a mobile large file storage and uploading solution also through... |
| The YouTube shooting makes hard community management questions even harder Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:03 PM PDT  Yesterday, YouTube experienced its first workplace shooting. Four days after leaving her home in San Diego, a 39-year-old woman named Nasim Aghdam snuck into YouTube's headquarters in San Bruno, California, with a handgun, shooting three people before taking her own life. We don't know what drove Aghdam to commit her crime — whether she was mentally unstable, had previous violent episodes, or was triggered to commit her crime by a tangential event — but it's clear she had strong feelings about YouTube. According to her family, she hated the service after her channel was demonetized and police are listing her grudge as a primary motivation for the shooting. A day after the incident, most of what we know about Aghdam comes from her YouTube... |
