| Google offers developers a free 4K HDR Android TV streaming dongle Posted: 08 May 2018 04:51 PM PDT  It turns out that the Google-branded Android TV dongle that showed up at the FCC awhile back isn't a consumer product. Instead, Google is offering it to developers as a reference product for testing their TV applications on. You can apply to receive one of the ADT-2 units from Google directly. The dongle supports 4K resolution at 60fps and is also capable of HDR playback. The specs are fairly middle of the road; an Nvidia Shield this is not. Android Police notes that it uses the same chipset as Amazon's Fire TV 4K dongle and has 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It seems that the Android TV team built this gadget expressly for development purposes since the busted-old Nexus Player is no longer supported. But they made enough to give away... |
| Google Lens actually shows how AI can make life easier Posted: 08 May 2018 04:12 PM PDT  During Google's I/O developer conference keynote, artificial intelligence was once again the defining theme and Google's guiding light for the future. AI is now interwoven into everything Google does, and nowhere is the benefits of CEO Sundar Pichai's AI-first approach more apparent than with Google Lens. The Lens platform combines the company's most cutting-edge advances in computer vision and natural language processing with the power of Google Search. In doing so, Google makes a compelling argument for why its way of developing AI will generate more immediately useful software than its biggest rivals, like Amazon and Facebook. It also gives AI naysayers an illustrative example of what the technology can do for consumers, instead of... |
| Google Pay is adding mobile boarding passes and event tickets Posted: 08 May 2018 04:01 PM PDT  In a move that brings its digital wallet closer in line with Apple's, Google is adding mobile tickets for travel and entertainment events to Google Pay. The iPhone has offered the ability to store your mobile tickets — called "passes" in Apple's case — inside the Wallet app for quick access since 2012. Google Pay already lets you do that with credit cards and loyalty cards, but now Android users will find digital boarding passes and scannable tickets inside the app as well. Southwest Airlines actually added the feature to its app a day before Google's event, which Android Police picked up on. Google collaborated with Urban Airship "to create streamlined and engaging ticketing and boarding pass experiences." A number of travel and... |

| Uber’s ‘flying taxis’ will be built by these five aerospace companies Posted: 08 May 2018 03:10 PM PDT  Uber held its second annual "flying taxi" conference in Los Angeles this week, so we have a whole bunch of cool new concept images of weird, drone-helicopter hybrids that you could use to fly across town sometime in the next decade. Or not! Who knows if this thing will get off the ground? But if it does, it will be because of these five companies. Embraer and Pipistrel Aircraft, two aircraft manufacturers that are working with Uber, released new concept images of aircraft they plan on building for the ride-hailing company's ambitious project. And California-based Karem, which is the latest aircraft manufacturer to partner with Uber, had a new vehicle to show off as well. Electric flight... |
| Today’s SEC filing suggests MoviePass’ time is running out Posted: 08 May 2018 02:43 PM PDT  Subscription service MoviePass hasn't been having a great 2018. Constant changes to its terms of service have created a growing sense of uncertainty about what customers actually get with their MoviePass subscriptions. The company's flagship tier was scuttled, then brought back without any real explanation. And in April, an independent auditor for MoviePass parent company Helios & Matheson Analytics raised alarm bells by expressing "substantial doubt" that the company could stay in business. Bloomberg reports that an SEC filing today largely confirms that assessment, with Helios & Matheson acknowledging it has just $15.5 million in the bank, even though it's been blowing through more than $21 million per month on average over the past... |
| Twitter may add encrypted direct messages on Android Posted: 08 May 2018 02:25 PM PDT  Twitter has started building an encrypted direct messaging feature in its Android app, according to a computer science student who dug through the code. Jane Manchun Wong looked through Twitter's Android app code and saw the feature. Other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal already provide users with encrypted means of communicating. If Twitter added secret conversations, its direct messages could serve as a convenient alternative to secure, off-platform rivals. Since the feature was found in the app's unreleased code, it's unknown when, if ever, the feature will actually go live. Reports of Twitter working on encrypted direct messages surfaced back in 2013, but the company dropped the feature without an explanation in early 2014.... |
| Facebook is creating a mysterious blockchain division Posted: 08 May 2018 01:42 PM PDT  Facebook is launching its own blockchain division as part of a broader reorganization of its executive lineup, multiple sources confirmed to Recode today. The move comes four months after CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post that he wanted the company to "go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of" cryptocurrencies. The company is saying little about its blockchain division for now. But we do know that David Marcus, who was serving as the vice president of messaging products and overseeing Facebook Messenger, will be running the blockchain group. The former CEO of PayPal, Marcus has long been interested in payments, and he currently serves on the board of bitcoin exchange Coinbase. "After nearly four unbelievably... |
| Chrome OS is getting full-fledged Linux apps Posted: 08 May 2018 01:21 PM PDT  Google Chrome is getting a big upgrade with the ability to run Linux apps, with a preview set to be released on the Google Pixelbook today before rolling out later to other models, according to a report from VentureBeat. It's a major addition to Google's web-based operating system, which up until now has offered web-based Chrome applications and, more recently, the ability to run Android apps. But the option to run full-fledged Linux software marks the first time that real desktop applications have come to Chrome OS. According to Chrome OS director of product management Kan Liu, users will be able to run Linux tools, editors, and integrated development environments... |
| JBL’s Android-powered soundbar does a lot of things right Posted: 08 May 2018 01:14 PM PDT  We just took a quick look at a 3D-printed prototype of the recently announced JBL Link Bar, a soundbar that also happens to be a set-top box running Android TV. It's not coming out until later this summer, and a lot of stuff isn't quite working yet. But the core ideas are pretty smart. Basically, it puts a relatively smart set-top box into your soundbar, making it a sort of a hybrid between a smart TV, an HDMI switcher, and a smart speaker. It's a lot of things crammed together in honestly clever ways. So if you're just looking for an Android TV set-top box, this thing does that. It has Google Assistant, YouTube, and all the standard set-top box apps you'd like. As with other Android TVs, you can ask Assistant to do stuff like "Play H... |
