| Apple’s total number of apps in the App Store declined for the first time last year Posted: 05 Apr 2018 03:07 PM PDT  The App Store's total number of apps available decreased in 2017 for the first time in the history of the marketplace, according to analytics company Appfigures. iOS apps in the App Store shrank to 2.1 million over the course of 2017, after beginning the year at 2.2 million. The decline can be attributed in part to Apple's decision back in 2016 to remove old apps that were no longer compatible with newer iPhones and apps that didn't comply with recent review guidelines. Apps that were not built on 64-bit architecture were removed. To add to the graveyard of dead mobile software, Apple also removed virus-scanning apps, apps that were clones of other apps, and other low quality apps that were... |
| Indiana Joan Jones is the female lady heroine that women need Posted: 05 Apr 2018 02:36 PM PDT  The next time Indiana Jones appears in film could mark a major change for the franchise. In an interview with The Sun, filmmaker Steven Spielberg told the publication that it may be time for the roguish, Nazi-punching archaeology professor to take "a different form." Graciously, Spielberg means a woman, not a snakeperson. According to Spielberg, however, this would mean changing more than the gender of the character. "We'd have to change the name from Jones to Joan. And there would be nothing wrong with that." Spielberg's assertion that there's nothing wrong with this name change is not 100 percent correct, because this is not actually how last names work. Does Indiana Jones become Indiana Joan, wherein the reboot is set in a dystopian... |
| Chinese city shops ordered to start using government-approved routers Posted: 05 Apr 2018 02:34 PM PDT  An eastern Chinese city is now telling its shops and restaurants to swap their Wi-Fi routers for government-approved routers or else pay a penalty. Stores located in Qingdao, Shandong Province will have to pay up to ¥100,000 ($18,589) if they don't comply, according to Abacus. Shops and cafes that offer Wi-Fi hotspots have received a notice from police to "improve Qingdao's internet security management" by switching routers. Abacus learned that the brand of router was Bihu (BHU), with the name roughly translating to Necessary Tiger. Curiously, Bihu also offers a blockchain-powered smart router, but we don't yet know if those are the routers police are issuing as replacements. V... |
| Twitter says it did everything it could to fight YouTube shooting hoaxes Posted: 05 Apr 2018 02:04 PM PDT  Twitter has defended its handling of misinformation and abuse in the aftermath of this week's shooting at YouTube's headquarters. In a blog post titled "Serving the Public Conversation During Breaking Events," trust and safety VP Del Harvey laid out how Twitter tried to provide "credible and authentic" information about the attack, even as some users spread hoaxes about the shooter's identity. Harvey writes that Twitter doesn't have a system for verifying information accuracy, reiterating Twitter's stance that it isn't an "arbiter of truth." However, it watches for deliberate misinformation that violates rules against harassment, hate speech, spam, or violent threats. Harvey says that after the shooting, Twitter "suspended hundreds of... |
| Facebook spoke with hospitals about matching health data to anonymized profiles Posted: 05 Apr 2018 01:52 PM PDT  Facebook began speaking with hospitals last year about the possibility of matching anonymized user profiles with health data in an effort to improve medical care, according to a CNBC report exposing the program. Facebook confirmed its work to CNBC but said it had hit "pause" on the program last month — presumably following the Cambridge Analytica scandal — to focus on "doing a better job of protecting people's data" and being clearer about how it's used. The plan had been to get hospitals to share anonymized medical information — such as health issues and age, but not name — and match it up with anonymized Facebook accounts that appeared to belong to those same people, according to the report. It would then somehow use insights from... |
| Michael B. Jordan wants to know ‘why we burn’ in the new Fahrenheit 451 trailer Posted: 05 Apr 2018 01:26 PM PDT  HBO has released a new full-length trailer for its upcoming adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451, which shows off the world's hellish dystopian society in which books are banned and burned. The film will star Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan as Guy Montag, a fireman who comes to question his job, while Shape of Water's Michael Shannon plays Captain Beatty, the captain of his station. 99 Houses director Ramin Bahrani wrote and directed the movie. This trailer shows off a bit more of the world that the book is set in, where books are banned and citizens' behavior is closely regulated via pharmaceuticals. It opens with Montag showing a classroom full of children a pair of books as he explains what he and his colleagues do, and... |

| The Supreme Court fight over Microsoft’s foreign servers is over Posted: 05 Apr 2018 01:03 PM PDT  The much-anticipated Supreme Court case US v. Microsoft — which could have decided the extent of American jurisdiction over foreign servers — is now, for all intents and purposes, dead. On March 30th, the Department of Justice moved to drop the lawsuit as moot, and today, Microsoft filed to agree with the motion. While the Supreme Court has yet to officially drop the case, it's a foregone conclusion that they will. Both the government and Microsoft agree that the newly passed CLOUD Act renders the lawsuit meaningless. In US v. Microsoft, federal law enforcement clashed with Microsoft over the validity of a Stored Communications Act warrant for data stored on a server in Dublin. The CLOUD Act creates clear new procedures for procuring... |
| Major blockchain group says Europe should exempt Bitcoin from new data privacy rule Posted: 05 Apr 2018 12:54 PM PDT  Since people can store personal data in blockchains, the technology could fall under the purview of the upcoming European change to privacy law. But blockchain technology may be fundamentally incompatible with Europe's new privacy rules, Washington, DC think tank Coin Center said today in a new post. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will take effect on May 25th this year, more than two years after it was first signed into law. Under the new rule, if an EU citizen requests that their personal data be erased from a company's records, the company will have to obey. But with blockchain, a complete erasure of any stored personal data might not be possible, experts told The Verge. "Modifying data on a blockchain is very hard,"... |
| Facebook is putting augmented reality experiences on Ready Player One posters Posted: 05 Apr 2018 12:42 PM PDT  Facebook is adding a new augmented reality feature called target tracking, which lets people launch AR experiences by pointing their phone at an image. Target tracking is in a closed beta for developers, but Facebook users can check out simple, animated experiences on posters from Ready Player One and A Wrinkle In Time. They can also get the experience by scanning a QR code. A toolkit for developers should be released publicly later this spring. This is a very standard augmented reality feature, similar to the "living pictures" made by some high-tech novelty printers. But Facebook is claiming that its system will work more smoothly and consistently than other AR platforms, and that will be simple for people to turn their posters or... |
