| New investigation accuses CBS chief Les Moonves of sexual misconduct Posted: 27 Jul 2018 03:54 PM PDT  A new investigation from journalist Ronan Farrow tracks sexual misconduct accusations against Les Moonves, the influential 68-year-old chief executive officer of CBS, by six women. Farrow's articles detailing extensive sexual assault and harassment from Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein won him a Pulitzer Prize for public service, and kickstarted the backlash against sexual harassment and abuse that later spawned the #MeToo movement. The investigation was published in The New Yorker this evening, following a leak earlier today to The Hollywood Reporter, which published news of Farrow's imminent report and immediately caused CBS stock to drop more than 5 percent. CBS released a statement earlier today saying it took the claims... |
| Feds ask people to stop climbing out of cars and dancing to Drake Posted: 27 Jul 2018 02:42 PM PDT  Drake's new album Scorpion is all over YouTube and Instagram right now, in part thanks to a challenge issued by Instagrammer TheShiggyShow, which has people dancing to "In My Feelings." The song mentions a character named Keke, and the "Keke Challenge" meme has become a viral sensation. While it can be performed anywhere, some of the biggest videos have people stepping out of moving cars to boogie in the streets. That particular version of the meme — an echo of an earlier viral fad referred to as "ghost-riding the whip" — has gotten bad enough that a government agency has put out an official notice reminding people that they shouldn't break the law just to make a funny video. As Jalopnik reports, The National Transportation Safety Board,... |
| How fire scientists see through flames Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:54 PM PDT  Researchers have figured out how to see through flames: it just takes blue LED theater lights, a camera filter, and a research facility where you can light test buildings on fire. The scientists tasked with understanding how fire destroys structures and devours our possessions need to watch these things burn — in the laboratory, that is. This research is key for keeping people safe, but it's not easy: there's soot, there's smoke, and there are the flames to contend with. The smoke and soot are easier to deal with: researchers can use less smoky fuels like natural gas when they test how things hold up to fire. Now, research published in the journal Fire Technology gives scientists a way to see through the flames, too — by shining blue... |
| Lucasfilm confirms Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill will be in Star Wars: Episode IX Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:52 PM PDT  The next big Star Wars movie will begin production on Wednesday, August 1st in London, and Lucasfilm has formally announced the cast for the film. While there are no surprises regarding the actors playing the roles of the characters introduced in the sequel trilogy, there are a few major reveals: Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill will be back, and so will Billy Dee Williams, now officially confirmed to be reprising his role as Lando Calrissian, after rumors earlier this year. Other actors reprising their roles in the untitled sequel include Daisy Ridley (Rey), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe), Lupita Nyong'o (Maz), Domhnall Gleeson (Hux), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), Billie Lourd (Ko... |
| Castle Rock is the perfect excuse to start watching Haven on Netflix Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:20 PM PDT  There are so many streaming options available these days, and so many conflicting recommendations, that it's hard to see through all the crap you could be watching. Each Friday, The Verge's Cut the Crap column simplifies the choice by sorting through the overwhelming multitude of movies and TV shows on subscription services, and recommending a single perfect thing to watch this weekend. What to watch"Sarah," a third-season episode of the supernatural drama Haven. Based loosely on the Stephen King novel The Colorado Kid, the series stars Emily Rose as Audrey Parker, an outsider to the Maine island community of Haven, who has the ability to recognize the dangerous anomalies that the more acclimated locals no longer notice. In "Sarah,"... |
| Verizon’s Safe Wi-Fi is an ad-blocking VPN that costs only $3.99 a month Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:40 PM PDT  Verizon introduced its own mobile VPN today called Safe Wi-Fi, which will hide your IP address when you use public networks. Safe Wi-Fi only works for Verizon customers on iOS and Android and it costs $3.99 monthly per account to cover up to 10 devices. Currently, Verizon is offering the first 30 days as a free trial. To get the VPN, just log into your My Verizon app and head to "Products and Devices." Then scroll down to Safe Wi-Fi. As of this writing, the feature has not appeared yet on my iOS app that's been updated to the latest version, so it's not clear if it's just hard to find or if the feature is still rolling out. Interestingly, the VPN also blocks targeted ads, so it's worth asking whether the company's many websites like... |
| Discovery might bundle HGTV, the Food Network, and more into a new streaming service Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:20 PM PDT  Discovery is considering launching its own direct-to-consumer streaming service, according to statements made by the company's CEO, David Zaslav, at an industry event yesterday. The bundle, which would charge customers between $5 to $8 dollars per month, would encompass all of Discovery's networks — including the Food Network, HGTV, TLC, and more. It's an idea that's still in the earliest of stages, according to a report in Adweek. Whether the service will be based solely in the US, or would expand elsewhere still hasn't been announced — and Zaslav didn't hint at when the launch would happen. However, he did say that he was "encouraged" by other newcomers to the world of streaming, like AT&T's WatchTV service. Today, WatchTV holds 30... |
| Spectrum internet is getting kicked out of New York Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:01 PM PDT  New York is officially kicking internet and cable provider Spectrum, aka Charter, out of the state after the company failed to deliver on its fast internet promises. The state required Spectrum to roll out high-speed internet across underserved rural areas when it merged with Time Warner Cable in 2016. The company failed to do so after two years, and now the state is not only forcing the company to cease operations by revoking its approval of the 2016 merger (the approval was contingent on Charter expanding the Spectrum network), but is also seeking $3 million in penalties. Spectrum has to keep operating, uninterrupted, for 60 days while the state finds a new internet provider to service customers. It's unclear what Spectrum is planning... |
| Posted: 27 Jul 2018 11:25 AM PDT  This week, Amazon launched Alexa Cast for its Echo line of smart speakers. Alexa Cast allows you to cast audio from the Amazon Music app on your phone to the Echo and Alexa-connected speakers, like the Sonos One, without having to use your voice. It's not a particularly new feature in the world of smart assistant home speakers — for example, Google Cast is essentially the same feature, but for Google services — however despite its late arrival, Amazon is pledging to increase Alexa Cast functionality in the future.

| MoviePass was down last night because it ran out of money Posted: 27 Jul 2018 02:40 PM PDT  The writing has been on MoviePass' wall for a long while now, but precipitous stock drops and constant financial bad news hasn't stopped the company from ticking along — until last night, when service was disrupted because the company ran out of money, and its parent company borrowed an emergency $5 million from the hedge fund Hudson Bay. In corporate speak: "The $5.0 million cash proceeds received from the Demand Note will be used by the Company to pay the Company's merchant and fulfillment processors," Helios and Matheson noted in a SEC filing, Business Insider reported. "If the Company is unable to make required payments to its merchant and fulfillment processors, the... |
