| Facebook is shutting down a teen app it bought eight months ago Posted: 02 Jul 2018 05:06 PM PDT  Facebook is shutting down Moves, Hello, and tbh, a trio of apps it launched or acquired over the last four years that haven't developed large audiences. Facebook says it's shutting down all three due to "low usage" and that it will delete all of their user data within 90 days. In the case of Moves, a stylish fitness tracking app launched in 2013 and bought by Facebook a year later, and Hello, an Android dialer that merged Facebook details with contact info, the issue wasn't just a lack of audience but a lack of development. Neither app saw much improvement after launch and neither has been updated in more than a year. Hello only seemed to make it four months before being abandoned. Tbh was... |
| Gmail app developers have been reading your emails Posted: 02 Jul 2018 04:00 PM PDT  Third-party app developers can read the emails of millions of Gmail users, a report from The Wall Street Journal highlighted today. Gmail's access settings allows data companies and app developers to see people's emails and view private details, including recipient addresses, time stamps, and entire messages. And while those apps do need to receive user consent, the consent form isn't exactly clear that it would allow humans — and not just computers — to read your emails. Google told The Verge that it only gives data to vetted third-party developers and with users' explicit consent. The vetting process involves checking whether a company's identity is correctly represented by its app, its privacy policy states that it will monitor... |
| Tesla lost top engineer just before hitting Elon Musk’s Model 3 goal Posted: 02 Jul 2018 03:16 PM PDT  Tesla's chief vehicle engineer Doug Field left the company last week, according to a filing with the SEC. Field had been on a leave of absence since May. The news, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, came on the same day that Tesla announced it barely met CEO Elon Musk's goal of making 5,000 Model 3 sedans in the final week of the second financial quarter of 2018. "Tesla would like to thank Doug for his hard work over the years and for everything he has done for Tesla," the company said in its SEC filing. His last day was June 27, according to the announcement. Field is one of dozens of executives who have left the company over the last few years. But he was a high profile presence at Tesla. He was hired away from Apple,... |
| Federal investigators want to know if Facebook lied about Cambridge Analytica Posted: 02 Jul 2018 03:03 PM PDT  The federal investigation into data mining firm Cambridge Analytica and its relationship to Facebook has been expanded to include an examination into the social network itself, according to a report from The Washington Post. Specifically, investigators want to know whether members of the social network lied to lawmakers, the public, and investors about the massive data privacy scandal that broke back in March. The investigation is being led by the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Prior to today, the investigation focused solely on Cambridge Analytica and did not include Facebook itself. Now, federal authorities want to know whether Facebook made false or misleading... |
| Sony raises monthly cost of PlayStation Vue by $5 for all plans Posted: 02 Jul 2018 02:25 PM PDT  Sony is raising the cost of its over-the-top, pay-TV service PlayStation Vue by $5 a month for all four tiers of customers, the company announced today in a blog post. Sony does not give a concrete explanation for the price increase, other than to attribute it to "rising business costs." PlayStation Vue's cheapest plan, called Access, will now cost $44.99, instead of $39.99, a month, while its most expensive Ultra package will now cost $84.99. Sony removed its cheapest Slim package last July. It is very likely that Sony, like other pay-TV providers, is facing increased financial pressure from rights holders, which may be raising the licensing costs to live content and other lucrative forms of entertainment that keep customers... |
| Samsung phones are spontaneously texting users’ photos to random contacts without their permission Posted: 02 Jul 2018 01:43 PM PDT  Bad news for Samsung phone owners: some devices are randomly sending your camera roll photos to your contacts without permission. As first spotted by Gizmodo, users are complaining about the issue on Reddit and the company's official forums. One user says his phone sent all his photos to his girlfriend. The messages are being sent through Samsung's default texting app Samsung Messages. According to reports, the Messages app does not even show users that files have been sent; many just find out after they get a response from the recipient of the random photos sent to them. A Samsung spokesperson tells The Verge it's "aware of the reports" and that its technical teams are "looking into it." The forums indicate that Galaxy S9 and S9+... |
| This is what Samsung’s next tablet might look like Posted: 02 Jul 2018 12:46 PM PDT  Images of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 have leaked, giving us a first look at the new tablet, which is rumored for a release later this year. What appears to be official press renders have leaked from an anonymous source to Android Headlines, showing a lack of a home button and a larger display. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 appears to have thinner bezels, leaving space for a longer display that might have a different aspect ratio than the Tab S3's 4:3. The Samsung logo on the top bezel is gone, meaning that the tablet could potentially have space for a rumored iris scanner. Still, if there is an iris scanner, it can't be seen in this render. The rear of the Samsung Galaxy Tab... |
| Question Club: What do we want from Westworld season 3? Posted: 02 Jul 2018 12:19 PM PDT  Spoiler warning: this piece discusses the biggest reveals from the Westworld season 2 finale. Proceed at your own risk. Westworld's second season concluded with some major reveals, some high-profile deaths, and a list of unanswered questions. For a show that's constructed around the ideas of perception and mystery, that's to be expected. More so than any other show on television right now, Westworld uses narrative tricks and fragmented storytelling to keep as many plates spinning in the air as possible, letting the audience's curiosity about something like "The Door" create an added layer of drama and anticipation that isn't there if the narrative was told in a more traditional way. When it works, like the season 1 revelation that the... |
| Astronomers snap one of the best baby pics yet of a newborn planet Posted: 02 Jul 2018 11:44 AM PDT  Around 370 light years away from Earth, a big, cloudy planet is in the middle of being born — and astronomers have snapped an incredibly detailed image of its birthing process. The picture is one of the most robust we have of a planet forming, and it could help us learn more about how worlds outside our Solar System came to be. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute, working with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, were able to capture a planet about a few times the mass of Jupiter in the midst of forming around a young star. The image shows the object taking shape inside the large cloud of gas and dust that surrounds new stars, what is known as a protoplanetary disk. These disks are made up of all the... |
| Facebook details data sharing agreements with Amazon, Qualcomm, and AT&T among others Posted: 02 Jul 2018 11:01 AM PDT  In over 700 pages of responses sent to Congress over the weekend, Facebook acknowledged that it shared user data with 52 hardware and software companies, many of which were previously undisclosed. The new list includes several large tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, and lists several Chinese companies like Huawei as being part of Facebook's data integration partnerships. Last month, The New York Times reported that Facebook had been sharing data with device makers, but this list also includes mobile carrier AT&T, and chip designers like Qualcomm. Facebook said that these "partnerships" differ dramatically from the data sharing... |
