Apple rejects Valve’s Steam Link game streaming app over ‘business conflicts’

Posted: 24 May 2018 05:59 PM PDT

Valve's game streaming service Steam Link won't be coming to iOS today, despite a successful Android beta launch earlier this month. According to the official Steam Database Twitter account, Apple rejected the Steam Link app over apparent "business conflicts with app guidelines." Steam Link was first announced for mobile back in March, and the app functions as a remote desktop so users can access their Steam library of PC games from a mobile device and stream them directly for touchscreen play or for use with a Bluetooth controller.

It's not exactly clear at the moment what the "business conflict" here is, and whether it has anything to do with Apple's somewhat contentious 30 percent App Store fee for all purchases, in-app or otherwise....

Apple wins $539 million from Samsung in latest chapter of ongoing patent trial

Posted: 24 May 2018 04:37 PM PDT

The latest twist in the ongoing, seven-year-old smartphone patent trial between Apple and Samsung awards the iPhone maker a final verdict of $539 million in damages, according to Bloomberg. Jurors awarded Apple the verdict in federal court in San Jose, California today, concluding that Samsung infringed on Apple design and utility patents covering aspects of mobile design like rounded corners, the rim of the front face of the iPhone, and the now-iconic app grid layout of the iOS home screen.

"We believe deeply in the value of design, and our teams work tirelessly to create innovative products that delight our customers," Apple said in a statement given to Bloomberg. "This case has always been about more than money." Effectively, the...

The director of Logan is reportedly making a Boba Fett movie

Posted: 24 May 2018 03:45 PM PDT

This weekend Ron Howard's Solo is hitting theaters, but Disney and Lucasfilm are already lining up one of the next standalone Star Wars film — and per a new report, it will focus on one of the franchise's most beloved villains. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writer-director James Mangold is working on a movie focused on none other than Boba Fett.

Rumors of a Boba Fett movie have circulated for years, but Mangold would make a particularly strong choice for this kind of project. His varied career has taken him from dramas like Cop Land and Girl, Interrupted to westerns like 3:10 to Yuma, but genre fans will know him best as the writer-director of the Wolverine swan song Logan. That film brought an unexpected emotional depth and...

Amazon explains how Alexa recorded a private conversation and sent it to another user

Posted: 24 May 2018 02:56 PM PDT

Amazon has been forced to explain how Alexa recorded a private conversation and sent it to an Echo user's colleague without their knowledge. A Portland woman identified only as Danielle revealed the odd series of events in an interview with local TV station Kiro 7, claiming that an Amazon Echo device recorded a private conversation between her and her husband and sent the recording to an employee of the husband. In a statement to The Verge, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed this incident took place, but it appears it was an unusual series of Alexa mistaking conversation as commands rather than Alexa spying on users.

"Echo woke up due to a word in background conversation sounding like "Alexa." Then, the subsequent conversation was heard as...

The Essential Phone 2 has reportedly been canceled

Posted: 24 May 2018 02:43 PM PDT

Essential has canceled plans to develop a second phone and is exploring selling off the entire company, according to Bloomberg. Much of the details remain up in the air. Talks of a sale sound like they aren't very far along, and the report says that Essential still has plans for future products.

One thing that does sound certain is that Essential's second phone — at least as it was originally planned — isn't going to happen. Bloomberg says the development was canceled and that engineers are now working on a smart home product, which is supposed to be released next year. That may be the Echo competitor that Essential announced a year ago, but which we haven't heard a word about since.

Orlando Police scramble to defend Amazon facial recognition pilot

Posted: 24 May 2018 02:39 PM PDT

In a press conference today, Orlando Police Chief John Mina offered new details on the city's facial recognition program, on the heels of new documents published by the ACLU-NC earlier this week. Speaking to local press, Mina said the existing pilot was limited to basic testing, and no members of the public were entered for search.

"We would never use this technology to track random citizens, immigrants, activists, or people of color," Mina told the crowd. "The pilot program is just us testing this technology out to see if it even works." Facial recognition algorithms have struggled with racial bias across the industry; no relevant data is available on bias in Amazon's system specifically.

Swatter indicted in Kansas gamer’s death also accused of net neutrality vote bomb threat

Posted: 24 May 2018 02:16 PM PDT

Prosecutors have indicted a California man they say phoned in a bomb threat during the FCC's net neutrality vote in December. What's more, they say, the suspect was involved in another high-profile crime the same month: a "swatting" incident that led to the death of a man in Kansas.

Tyler Barriss, 25, allegedly threatened the FCC ahead of its controversial vote to dismantle net neutrality rules. According to prosecutors, Barriss called the FCC with false claims that the building was rigged with explosives.

In a dramatic moment before the vote, Chairman Ajit Pai announced to a crowd that proceedings would have to halt as the room was evacuated. The group returned a few minutes...

The Nvidia Shield gets a new UI with Android Oreo update

Posted: 24 May 2018 02:05 PM PDT

The Nvidia Shield is one of the more popular options for Android TV set-top boxes, and its usefulness continues to escalate as it finally gets an Android 8.0 Oreo update today, via Android Central.

The new software update brings a host of improvements to the Shield, including a new home screen that makes finding your content and most recently used apps easier, along with some more minor tweaks like improved support for game controllers and better Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There's also an updated Amazon Prime Video app, support for ESPN+, and the new voices for Google Assistant announced back at I/O.

Also new is how the Shield will handle apps — treating them as their own TV-esque channels, as seen below, in a sort of mix between how a...

Elon Musk thinks you can crowdsource truth, but that’s not how the internet works

Posted: 24 May 2018 01:52 PM PDT

In the beginning, the reason for the internet's existence was to connect people as vastly and as easily as possible. Its fatal flaw, perhaps, is that nobody thought about the horrible things people might do once those walls were broken down. One of the most disconcerting trends of the modern internet is the specific, reflexive ways that bad actors have learned to manipulate and dismiss inconvenient truths by using the culture, systems, and mechanics of the internet. In the four decades since the internet expanded beyond its military origins, a clear playbook has emerged for denying reality — and it's one that is insidiously easy to use. That hasn't been good for discourse or truth. Elon Musk, the tech mogul and Tesla CEO, might be about...

YouTube brings its messaging feature to the web

Posted: 24 May 2018 01:12 PM PDT

Because we have not yet reached peak messaging on Google products, YouTube is now bringing its previously mobile-only messaging feature to the web. Now, when you're logged into your Google account and browsing YouTube.com, you can share and talk about videos with your friends right on the site. You can access conversations from the chat bubble icon next to the notifications bell on the upper right corner. Chat histories will pop up on the bottom left of the screen and allow you to continue conversations, just like Hangouts on the web or from your Gmail web inbox.

You can share content into private conversations using the share button under any YouTube video and select a contact (or multiple, if you want to discuss in a...
