| Google tries to calm controversy over app developers having access to your Gmail Posted: 03 Jul 2018 04:35 PM PDT  Google has published a new blog post in response to a story from The Wall Street Journal yesterday that detailed how common it is for third-party app developers to be able to read and analyze the contents of a user's Gmail message. While not offering any substantially new insights into the industry practice, now understood to be quite widespread, Google does outline measures a user and business organization using G Suite can do to protect their privacy and security. The company also reiterates its commitment to vetting those third-party apps and services that have access to sensitive Gmail data. "A vibrant ecosystem of non-Google apps gives you choice and helps you get the most out of your email," reads the company's blog post, written... |
| The US won’t let China Mobile operate in the country, citing risk to national security Posted: 03 Jul 2018 02:50 PM PDT  The US government has declared another major Chinese telecom company a possible "risk to national security": China Mobile. Yesterday, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issued a statement advising the Federal Communications Commission not to allow China Mobile, which is the world's third biggest carrier after AT&T and Verizon, to operate in the United States. China Mobile first applied to the FCC for permission to provide US telecom services in 2011 and its application has been pending ever since. In 2013, China Mobile's counsel wrote a letter to the FCC, requesting permission, stating "the extreme delay in granting the application is causing significant and unwarranted harm to China Mobile USA's... |
| Sprint’s ties to Chinese firm Huawei could complicate T-Mobile merger Posted: 03 Jul 2018 02:35 PM PDT  Congressional lawmakers are intent on urging President Donald Trump and his administration to closely examine Sprint's proposed merger with T-Mobile due to the former's ties to the Chinese government, according to a report from Bloomberg. Sprint does not have direct ties to Beijing. Rather, it's that the US telecom is majority owned by Japan's SoftBank, which has worked with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei. Alongside fellow Chinese telecom ZTE, Huawei has been deemed a national security threat by the US government, with intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense banning Huawei phones and equipment from the military and ZTE very nearly shut down over an all-out trade ban. "Recognizing that these companies operate as... |
| Posted: 03 Jul 2018 01:34 PM PDT  The US Commerce Department has temporarily lifted a portion of the ban on ZTE that all-but shut down the company almost three months ago. After paying a $1 billion fine, ZTE has been authorized by the United States to continue supporting much of its already deployed equipment and consumer devices. This largely seems designed to keep infrastructure up and running and allow ZTE to deliver security patches to its phones (and other products). The eased restrictions are temporary, only lasting until August 1st. It's not stated what will happen after that point, but Bloomberg reports that ZTE is expected to be in full compliance with the agreement it made with the US government by then, meaning the ban may be fully lifted. ZTE initially... |
| The Thanos subreddit is gleefully heading for mass slaughter Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:51 PM PDT  Since the release of Avengers: Infinity War, fans have flocked to a subreddit dedicated to the film's villain, Thanos. Once mostly a place for jokes, memes, and chatter about the mad Titan's ideologies, the more than 200,000 members of r/ThanosDidNothingWrong have turned their attention to fulfilling a one-off joke that will decimate their community: randomly banning half of their members. Today, a moderator announced that they'd finally received permission from the subreddit's administrators. The ban will take place July 9th. It's all an elaborate riff on the plot of Infinity War, where (spoilers) long-teased villain Thanos collects the powerful Infinity Stones to complete his goal of wiping out exactly half the population of the... |
| Huawei gets its first smartphone with 8GB of RAM Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:42 PM PDT  Huawei just unveiled the Honor 10 GT, which will be its first smartphone with 8GB of RAM. Its predecessor, the Honor 10, which launched in April for China and in May internationally, only had options for 4GB or 6GB of RAM. Besides the extra RAM, the new smartphone will have the same specs and appearance as the regular Honor 10. The Honor 10 GT has a 5.8-inch, 2280 x 1080 LCD display with a fingerprint sensor on the home button. It has a notch where the front-facing 24-megapixel selfie sensor is and an otherwise nearly edge-to-edge display. It's powered by a Kirin 970 processor and a 3,400 mAh battery. On the back, it has dual rear cameras that are 16-megapixel and 24-megapixel. As for ports, it's got a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB... |
| Your phone isn’t listening to you, researchers say, but it may be watching everything you do Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:36 PM PDT  You've seen the YouTube videos. It's a shaky-cam iPhone shot with a wide-eyed someone giggling under their breath "cat food," or some other miscellaneous thing they allegedly never talk about or search for near or on their device. The climax of this plot line hits in the following hours or days after they've muttered said random phrase, and they're suddenly served an ad on Facebook of the exact same thing they said before. Preposterous! It's the classic "your phone is listening to everything you say," conspiracy theory that so many people have willingly started to believe. But, according to researchers from Northeastern University, reported by Gizmodo's Kashmir Hill, this isn't the case at all. After a yearlong study, they found no... |
| Scarlett Johansson continues problematic streak, will play a trans man Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:26 PM PDT  A year after Scarlett Johansson's appearance in 2017's adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, in which she played a canonically Asian woman and sparked a conversation about whitewashing in Hollywood, the actor has made yet another questionable decision: next year, she'll be starring in Ghost director Rupert Sanders' Rub & Tug, a biopic based on the real-life story of massage parlor boss Dante "Tex" Gill. Deadline broke news of the deal shortly before Variety and then The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it; all of the major trades, however, managed to misgender Gill, despite the fact that he was, by his own account, transgender. Judging by the industry's ongoing refusal to allow LGBT people to play... |
| Amazon is opening a second cashier-less Go store in Seattle this fall Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:03 PM PDT  Amazon is expanding its Go cashier-less supermarkets, with the company now confirming a second store coming to Seattle this fall, via a report from GeekWire. The new location will continue the gradual roll out of Amazon's experimental new retail stores, with locations also in the works for Chicago and San Francisco (although there's no date yet on when those stores will be opening.) The new Seattle store is said to be almost twice as large as the current one, measuring in at 3,000 square feet, compared to the existing 1,800 square feet location. The first Amazon Go location opened earlier this year, and has customers scan their phones when entering the store. Then, through the use of sensors and cameras, Amazon is able to automatically... |
| Facebook acquires London-based AI firm to help it better understand human speech Posted: 03 Jul 2018 10:39 AM PDT  Facebook announced today that it's acquired London-based artificial intelligence firm Bloomsbury AI, which specializes in natural language processing. According to a post from the official Facebook Academics page, the company says Bloomsbury's "expertise will strengthen Facebook's efforts in natural language processing research, and help us further understand natural language and its applications." In other words, as Facebook continues to hand more platform moderation duties over to algorithms, the underlying AI technology behind those algorithms still has a long way to go. TechCrunch originally reported on the acquisition yesterday. In the AI community, Facebook is one of the biggest players, with positions at the company's Facebook AI... |
