| The marketer that prompted Google to ban rehab ads in the UK keeps coming up first in search results Posted: 11 May 2018 04:55 PM PDT  Shortly after a Verge report about deceptive rehab marketing on Google last September, the search giant temporarily banned ads on rehab-related searches in the U.S., which had been netting them an estimated $78 million annually. After a January Sunday Times story exposed similar practices in the U.K., focusing on a referral company called Addiction Helper, Google banned ads on rehab searches there, too. When the new policy was enacted, The Intercept ran a story criticizing the policy for benefiting large companies with good S.E.O., noting that companies adept at gaming search can appear above unbiased sources of information like the federal government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. Shortly after that story, SAMHSA's... |
| NASA is sending a helicopter to Mars to get a bird’s-eye view of the planet Posted: 11 May 2018 03:10 PM PDT  When NASA launches its next rover to Mars, the vehicle will have a small helicopter along for the ride. NASA announced today that it will be sending a small autonomous flying chopper — aptly named the Mars Helicopter — with the upcoming Mars 2020 rover. The helicopter will attempt to fly through the Martian air to see if vehicles can even levitate on Mars, where the atmosphere is 100 times thinner than that of Earth. The design for the Mars Helicopter has been in the works for the last four years at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but the space agency had yet to decide if it was actually going to send the vehicle to Mars. NASA needed to determine if this technology was actually feasible and if the agency had enough money in its budget... |
| Spirit airlines will add Wi-Fi to all its planes by 2019 Posted: 11 May 2018 02:56 PM PDT  Budget airline Spirit will start offering Wi-Fi on its flights sometime later this year, the company announced today. Access will cost an "average price of $6.50" per flight, depending on bandwidth options and what route you're flying. Spirit will use Ka-band high-speed satellites which should provide a fast enough connection for streaming. The rollout should be complete by summer 2019. Spirit says the Wi-Fi experience will get even faster in the next few years since the communications group it's working with will have access to next-generation satellites from SES. Of course, it will face tough competition between now and then, since major airlines all offer some form of "basic economy" fare that threatens the "ultra-low cost" sales... |
| Minecraft for the Switch is getting cross-play with PC, Xbox One, and smartphones on June 21st Posted: 11 May 2018 02:47 PM PDT  Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch is about to get a lot bigger with a new update that brings the universal Minecraft Bedrock Engine to Nintendo's portable console on June 21st, enabling cross-play between the Switch and the PC, Xbox One, and mobile versions of the game. The cross-platform update is actually pretty late in coming to the Switch — it was announced back at E3 last year, and hit the other platforms last September. The Switch release was then promised for later in the winter, which, based on the June release date, it obviously didn't quite hit. The updated Minecraft will also support Nintendo's new online service for the Switch when it launches later this year. Along with the new update, a physical version of Minecraft for... |
| Today wasn’t Day Zero in Cape Town, but the water crisis isn’t over Posted: 11 May 2018 02:40 PM PDT  The mayor of Cape Town, South Africa predicted in October 2017 that the city would run out of water by the following March. Since then, the date for what officials are calling "Day Zero" has shifted from April 21st, to April 12th, and April 16th. Today, May 11th, was another potential Day Zero — but the latest from the city is that the threat has been postponed to sometime in 2019. What gives? In some ways, the shifting estimates are a good thing: they reflect how successful Cape Town has been at conserving its water. Now, no one's washing their car, or hosing down sidewalks — and there are fewer leaky pipes. But the moving target also reflects the uncertain future of Cape Town's water supply as the city enters the rainy season which, so... |
| YouTube’s new ‘take a break’ notifications are part of Google’s focus on your digital well-being Posted: 11 May 2018 01:59 PM PDT  When Android P is released this summer, it will bring with it a new Dashboard designed to clearly show the amount of time we're spending on our phones. You'll see a breakdown that includes the number of times you've unlocked your device, a tally of notifications, and details on how much time you're spending in individual apps. This all stems from Google's focus on digital well-being that the company announced at I/O 2018 this week. But YouTube isn't waiting for Android P to introduce some helpful features. Just as Sundar Pichai promised, and after some very turbulent months, YouTube is kicking off Google's charge into balancing tech and life. The company has rolled out new, optional "take a break" notifications that will display a prompt... |
| You might be able to buy one of Boston Dynamics’ robot dogs Posted: 11 May 2018 01:46 PM PDT  Boston Dynamics is planning to sell its SpotMini robot to the public in 2019, TechCrunch reports today. The company said at a TechCrunch event today that the SpotMini is in pre-production and is being prepared for commercial availability next year. The company's founder, Marc Raibert, also said the SpotMini was "motivated by thinking about what could go in an office — in a space more accessible for business applications — and then, the home eventually." You definitely want this in your home eventually, right? It can open doors! It could be your door-opening pet. Boston Dynamics says contract manufacturers will build the first 100 SpotMinis later this year for commercial use, and then the company will ramp up production to... |
| Eurovision pulls out of China after it censored an LGBTQ-themed video Posted: 11 May 2018 01:39 PM PDT  Eurovision has pulled out of China, ending its contract with the local Chinese channel that airs the show, after that broadcaster censored an Irish music video that featured an LGBTQ love story. The European Broadcasting Union, which puts together Eurovision and licenses out broadcasts, said in a statement to The New York Times that censoring an LGBTQ love story was "not in line with the EBU's values of universality and inclusivity and our proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music." The Chinese broadcaster, Mango TV, censored the video for Ryan O'Shaughnessy's "Together," which features two male dancers holding hands. It also did not show Albania's "Mall" performance because of the performers' tattoos, according to state-run... |
| Google will require some Android phone makers to roll out ‘regular’ security patches Posted: 11 May 2018 01:39 PM PDT  Google says it will require Android phone manufacturers to roll out security patches on a "regular" basis — though it isn't clear who that requirement will apply to or how rigorous the mandate will be. On Wednesday, during a talk at Google's annual developer conference that was caught by 9to5Google via XDA Developers, the company announced that many more users would receive regular security patches thanks to new agreements it's making with partners. "When you have billions of users, it's a large target. And so it deserves the strongest possible defense," says David Kleidermacher, Google's head of Android security. "We've also worked on building security patching into our OEM agreements. Now this will really lead to a massive increase in... |
| With the landing of SpaceX’s powerful new Falcon 9, a new era of rocket reusability takes off Posted: 11 May 2018 01:29 PM PDT  This afternoon, SpaceX landed the most powerful version yet of its Falcon 9 rocket, after launching the vehicle from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The so-named Block 5 upgrade took off from the company's launchpad at Kennedy Space Center, sending a communications satellite into orbit for Bangladesh and then touched down on one of the company's drone ships in the Atlantic. It was the 25th successful rocket landing for SpaceX, and the 14th on one of the company's drone ships. It also marks the first launch of the Block 5, the vehicle that will carry humans to space for NASA. The Block 5 is meant to be SpaceX's most reusable rocket yet, with many upgrades put in place that negate the need for extensive refurbishment between flights. In fact,... |
