| YouTube bans account of parents whose prank videos depicted child abuse Posted: 18 Jul 2018 04:04 PM PDT  YouTube has terminated the FamilyOFive account that belonged to Maryland parents Mike and Heather Martin. Both parents were charged with child neglect last fall, sentence to five years probation, and lost custody of two of their five children after using the kids to make viral prank videos that featured depictions of child abuse. Pressure has been mounting on YouTube to take action against the account after it was discovered the Martins were still active on the platform. The account's most recent video was posted four days ago. The Martins claimed their children, the youngest of whom was 10 years old as of last year, were largely acting in the videos. However, verbal shouting matches and depictions of physical violence, alongside... |
| Facebook says it will begin removing misinformation that leads to violence Posted: 18 Jul 2018 03:39 PM PDT  Hours after CEO Mark Zuckerberg spurred history by defending the rights of Holocaust deniers to post on Facebook, the company said it had begun removing misinformation that contributes to violence. "There are certain forms of misinformation that have contributed to physical harm, and we are making a policy change which will enable us to take that type of content down," the company said in a statement. "We will be begin implementing the policy during the coming months." Under the new policy, Facebook will begin reviewing posts that are inaccurate or misleading, and are created or shared with the intent of causing violence or physical harm. The posts will be reviewed in partnership with local organizations including threat intelligence... |
| The Nokia X5 predictably has a notch and dual cameras Posted: 18 Jul 2018 02:11 PM PDT  HMD Global, which produces Nokia phones now, has officially announced the midrange Nokia X5. The X5, like its sibling the X6, has a notch and a glass body, signaling that HMD is now fully committed to the design trend first started by Apple's iPhone X. The Nokia X5 is a more affordable and lower specced version of the X6. It's got a 5.9-inch HD+ display and a 19:9 aspect ratio. The quality is slightly lower than the X6, meaning video streaming and gaming won't be quite as good. The X5 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 processor and it contains a 3,060mAh battery. It has options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM, and 32 or 64GB of storage. As for cameras, it has an 8-megapixel selfie cam and dual 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel cameras on the back,... |
| Reddit added chat rooms, and they’re about what you’d expect Posted: 18 Jul 2018 01:28 PM PDT  For the last year, Reddit has been beta-testing community-based chat rooms with a select number of users. Over time, the beta spread across various groups on the platform, and today, the internet's largest forum hub made its efforts more public with a blog post explaining what it hopes to achieve with the feature. "When we started, we knew that most people didn't personally know other redditors, since the core of the Reddit experience is pseudonymous sharing and discussion," wrote ityoclys, a Reddit product designer who has been taking chat room feedback from users over the past year. "So we wanted to make sure there was a place for people in the betas to test chat, give feedback, and have a bit of fun. Perhaps most importantly, we... |
| Google’s European fine is a flashback to Microsoft’s ugly antitrust battle Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:58 AM PDT  Today, the European Commission handed down a $5 billion fine to Google for anti-competitive behavior, the single biggest antitrust ruling the company has ever faced. The commission's central complaint is that by requiring Chrome and Google search as default services on any device using the Google Play Store, Android is engaging in anti-competitive behavior. As part of the ruling, Google must stop forcing Chrome and Google search on manufacturers, and stop any efforts to block forked versions of Android. We still don't know how Google will respond to the ruling — particularly whether it will end up directly charging phone makers for Android licenses — but it's clearly a major blow to Google and the strategic value of Android as a... |
| Samsung could launch $300 Bixby smart speaker at August 9th event Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:48 AM PDT  Samsung hasn't yet managed to shake the lackluster reputation of its Bixby digital assistant, especially when compared against rivals Google Assistant, Alexa, and even Siri. But the company is apparently pressing on with the idea of putting Bixby into a smart speaker that will resemble the Echo, Google Home, and Apple's HomePod in concept. The Wall Street Journal's report on a foldable smartphone from Samsung also offers some new information on the speaker project. Samsung is expected to announce its device within the next month. If true, the likely launch target would be August 9th, which is Samsung's Unpacked event for the Galaxy Note 9. It seems the company is planning some other surprises, based on this report. The rumored price?... |
| Apple’s iCloud partner in China will store user data on servers of state-run telecom Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:37 AM PDT  Apple's Chinese iCloud partner, Guizhou-Cloud Big Data (GCBD), has cut a deal with the state-run China Telecom to move user data to the latter's servers, according to a public-facing WeChat post from China Telecom. Though the iCloud data is end-to-end encrypted, the encryption keys are also stored in China, raising the possibility the Chinese government could gain access to it. Yet Apple has said in the past that only its employees have access to the keys, and the company has proven, with its clash with the FBI and other agencies, that it will fight to keep encrypted data protected. Still, the decision reasonably has some critics of the company's business strategy in the country concerned. Apple has largely met the demands of the... |
| Netflix’s Secret City shows how technology is changing spycraft Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:35 AM PDT  In one scene in Secret City, the 2016 Australian series now playing on Netflix, a spy comes to a park with a bag of bread crumbs, feeding birds as a cover for picking up an encoded message. It's a classic trope, but the twist here is that the spy is picking up a SIM card rather than a note or a whispered message. The Cold War ostensibly ended with the fall of the Soviet Union, but a new one is heating up, pitting the United States against both China and Russia in an arms race that relies far more on computer programmers than on nukes. In its six-episode first season, Secret City taps into current geopolitical tensions by combining elements of a spy and techno-thriller, following political journalist Harriet Dunkley (Anna Torv of Fringe a... |
| Mark Zuckerberg says Holocaust deniers are making an honest mistake Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:04 AM PDT  Facebook will continue to offer a platform to Holocaust deniers, Infowars, and other publishers of hoaxes on the assumption that they are sincere in their beliefs, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said. Speaking to Recode's Kara Swisher on her podcast, Zuckerberg, who is Jewish, said that Holocaust deniers are "deeply offensive." "But at the end of the day, I don't believe that our platform should take that down because I think there are things that different people get wrong," Zuckerberg continued. "I don't think that they're intentionally getting it wrong." Swisher said that, in fact, Holocaust deniers likely were intentionally misleading people. Zuckerberg said that Facebook could not understand the intent of those publishers and would not try:

| This 3D-printed origami trap captures delicate sea life without hurting them Posted: 18 Jul 2018 11:00 AM PDT  To call someone "spineless" is an insult on land, but in the ocean, it's simply a sensible lifestyle choice. From jellyfish to octopuses, anemones to sea cucumbers, life under the waves teems with squishy invertebrates. But while these soft bodies are perfectly adapted to the crushing pressures of the ocean, they present a problem for scientists who are hoping to study them. How do you retrieve such delicate organisms without damage? One answer might lie in the Japanese art of origami. Inspired by the traditional paper-folding techniques, engineers and marine biologists have designed a 3D-printed, 12-sided origami trap that can fold gently around unsuspecting sea creatures. The device (known as the rotary actuated dodecahedron, or RAD... |
