| Nintendo confirms cloud saves and NES launch titles for Switch online service Posted: 07 May 2018 06:59 PM PDT  Nintendo has given some new details on its long-in-gestation online service for the Switch. The service, officially called Nintendo Switch Online, will go live this September costing $3.99 a month, with the price for three months set at $7.99 and one year for $19.99. There's also a $34.99 option for a family plan that works across up to eight accounts. The service lets you play games like Splatoon 2, Arms, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, which has previously been free. Features like voice chat will continue to be offered through a smartphone app. Nintendo has confirmed that cloud backup for save data will also form part of the service, a long-requested feature for Nintendo consoles. Other than maintaining the ability to play existing... |
| Ticketmaster could replace tickets with facial recognition Posted: 07 May 2018 03:41 PM PDT  Someday in the not-so-distant future, you might be able to walk into a concert venue without waiting in line for your ticket to be scanned — because instead, the venue will automatically scan and identify your face. That's the experience that Live Nation and Ticketmaster suggested they'll try to develop last week, when announcing an investment in Blink Identity. Blink is a brand new company that claims to be able to identify people walking by in "half a second," even if they aren't looking straight at a camera. "We will continue investing in new technologies to further differentiate Ticketmaster from others in the ticketing business," Live Nation wrote in a note to investors last week.... |
| Microsoft will let you pay bills from inside Outlook Posted: 07 May 2018 02:47 PM PDT  Microsoft announced Monday that its payment service would be integrated with Outlook in a bid to better integrate bill pay and invoices into emails. It was one of the modifications to Outlook that the company said would allow developers to better engage with users. The Microsoft Pay system would let users make payments through emails without having to switch into other apps. Microsoft said initial payment partners include Stripe and Braintree, while billing service Zuora and invoicing services including FreshBooks, Intuit, Invoice2Go, Sage, Wave, and Xero would also be among the companies working with the new Outlook capability. Microsoft Pay will be rolled out to some Outlook.com users over the next few weeks, while more users will... |
| You can now set Amazon’s Alexa as your default voice assistant on Android Posted: 07 May 2018 02:31 PM PDT  Amazon's Alexa can now be set as your default personal assistant on Android phones and accessed through holding down the home button, as a user on Reddit pointed out. Previously, you were only able to swap in Microsoft's Cortana as the default voice assistant on Android devices. Setting up Alexa on Android is going to vary depending on which device you have but the general gist is that you update the Alexa app, then head into your phone's settings under the category for "Assist apps" and change your selection. Alexa's functionality on Android is still pretty limited. Alexa can't pull up maps or make native calls, although it can do a quick Google search. There are also fewer options for summoning Alexa than there are for Google... |
| New rules challenge Google and Facebook to change the way they moderate users Posted: 07 May 2018 02:03 PM PDT  Over the past several years, content moderation has reached a breaking point. We've seen all manner of ugliness thrive on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, whether it's coordinated harassment, impostor accounts, foreign political influence, or bizarre algorithmic chum. At the same time, inconsistent and sometimes heavy-handed moderation has become an increasingly partisan issue, with conservative celebrities appearing before Congress to make murky claims about censorship. In both cases, the loss of trust is palpable, fueled by an underlying lack of transparency. A huge proportion of the world's speech happens on closed platforms like Facebook and YouTube, and users still have little control or awareness of the rules... |
| Images of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano show the destructive power of nature in action Posted: 07 May 2018 01:46 PM PDT  Since May 3rd, Hawaii's most active volcano, called Kilauea, has been spewing out lava and molten rock on a residential area called Leilani Estates, prompting evacuations and destroying up to 26 homes. The eruption has also been providing us with some stunning and terrifying photos and videos of bright orange lava bubbling up from cracks in the ground and shooting up to 330 feet (100 meters) into the air. The Kilauea volcano has been erupting almost without stopping since 1983, according to the US Geological Survey. That's because it sits on a hot spot in the middle of the Pacific plate with high amounts of magma coming up to the surface, says Janine Krippner, a volcanologist at Concord University. "What we're seeing right now is pretty... |
| Posted: 07 May 2018 01:11 PM PDT  Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have proven to us that we can trust them with our personal data. Now it's time to reward that trust by giving them complete control over our computers, toasters, and cars. Allow me to introduce you to "edge" computing. Edge is a buzzword. Like "IoT" and "cloud" before it, edge means everything and nothing. But I've been watching some industry experts on YouTube, listening to some podcasts, and even, on occasion, reading articles on the topic. And I think I've come up with a useful definition and some possible applications for this buzzword technology. What is edge computing?In the beginning, there was One Big Computer. Then, in the Unix era, we learned how to connect to that computer using... |
| Google may launch a new set of Android controls to help you manage phone use Posted: 07 May 2018 11:52 AM PDT  Google may announce a new set of Android controls tomorrow at its annual developer conference that will help individuals and families manage how much time they're spending on mobile devices, The Washington Post reports. It won't be the first time Google has created controls for monitoring phone use. Google already offers a set of family control tools called Family Link which let parents restrict their children's app usage time and remotely lock devices. Other announcements the Post said to expect at Google's I/O conference tomorrow include an update to the Google Assistant that will make it more interactive, and new tools for publishers to help pull up reliable search results. The report is vague on details. Google's CEO Sundar Pichai... |
| Uber reportedly thinks its self-driving car killed someone because it ‘decided’ not to swerve Posted: 07 May 2018 11:41 AM PDT  Uber has discovered the reason why one of the test cars in its fledgling self-driving car fleet struck and killed a pedestrian earlier this year, according to The Information. While the company believes the car's suite of sensors spotted 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg as she crossed the road in front of the modified Volvo XC90 on March 18th, two sources tell the publication that the software was tuned in such a way that it "decided" it didn't need to take evasive action, and possibly flagged the detection as a "false positive." The reason a system would do this, according to the report, is because there are a number of situations where the computers that power an autonomous car might see something it thinks is a human or some other... |
| The United Launch Alliance’s rocket makers strike over their latest contract offer Posted: 07 May 2018 11:13 AM PDT  Nearly 600 union workers at the United Launch Alliance — the US government's primary rocket launch provider — went on strike on May 6th, just a day after the company launched a lander to Mars for NASA. The employees are part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), and they're responsible for assembling, testing, and helping to launch ULA's rockets. They voted to go on strike after rejecting ULA's final offer on a three-year contract that would have gone into effect on May 6th. Negotiations have been ongoing since April 16th. The protesting workers are located at three of ULA's main manufacturing and integration sites. That includes Decatur, Alabama, where the bulk of rocket manufacturing takes... |
