| Logitech is acquiring Blue Microphones for $117 million in cash Posted: 30 Jul 2018 07:05 PM PDT  Logitech is making a big purchase to secure a foothold in high-end audio recording. Tonight, the company announced that it's acquiring Blue Microphones for $117 million. The all-cash transaction will result in Blue, known for USB condenser microphones including the Snowball and Yeti, joining Logitech's existing portfolio of brands. Aside from Logitech and Logitech G, the company also owns Astro Gaming, Jaybird, and Ultimate Ears. Yeah, it's putting together quite the roster. "For Logitech, this is a new space," the company wrote in its blog post announcing the deal. "But, at the same time, it's not at all. Gamers are already using our Logitech G webcams to stream. People are video calling with friends and family thanks to Logitech every... |
| WhatsApp’s new group video calling feature is now live Posted: 30 Jul 2018 04:13 PM PDT  Back at Facebook's F8 developer conference in May, WhatsApp announced that it would be bringing group calling with both voice and video support later on this year. Now, WhatsApp says the feature is live for users around the globe on iOS and Android starting today. The group calling feature supports up to four people simultaneously, regardless of where those people are. The company says it engineered the feature to work under less-than-stellar network conditions, so you can video chat a friend or family member from a far-flung locale so long as you can get yourself online. Calls are also end-to-end encrypted, like all chats on the platform. Earlier this year, WhatsApp announced that it has 1.5... |
| Google blasts you with Windows and Mac error messages in new Chromebook ad Posted: 30 Jul 2018 03:48 PM PDT  Google isn't holding back with its latest Chromebook commercial. The minute-long ad blasts you with Windows and macOS error messages, virus warnings, and blue screens of death all in an effort to demonstrate the simplicity of Chrome OS. Google's message is that its Chromebooks come with virus protection, automatic updates, all-day battery life, and a variety of Android apps. It's Google's first clear shot at both Windows and Mac laptops, and it comes nearly five years after Microsoft launched its own attacks at Chromebooks. Most of Google's criticisms of Windows and macOS would have made more sense years ago, though, as both Microsoft and Apple have addressed many of the infamous problems Google has chosen to highlight. Windows 10 ships... |
| Firefox is getting a new logo, and Mozilla wants to hear what users think Posted: 30 Jul 2018 03:26 PM PDT  Mozilla is redesigning the Firefox logo, with a little help from the rest of us. This time around, though, the plan isn't just to create one new icon for the flagship browser, but to design an entire series of icons to fit the brand's different ventures — from mobile and VR browsers, to screenshot and file sharing tools. Mozilla's already uploaded some possible takes, and now wants users to comment on its blog for feedback about what the icons should look like. "As an icon, that fast fox with a flaming tail doesn't offer enough design tools to represent this entire product family," Mozilla designers wrote in a blog post. That means looking past recoloring the logo or making the fox sleeker: Mozilla is starting from square one with many... |
| Les Moonves will stay at work as CBS investigates sexual misconduct claims Posted: 30 Jul 2018 03:07 PM PDT  In a New Yorker report last week, six women accused CBS Corporation CEO Les Moonves of sexual misconduct, with dozens more describing an environment of sexual harassment and intimidation at the company. Today, the broadcasting company has announced that it is in the process of hiring outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation of the allegations, The Hollywood Reporter writes. Moonves, one of the highest-paid executives in the world, is a highly influential figure who oversaw popular shows such as The Big Bang Theory at CBS. He is a Television Hall of Fame inductee whose career includes stints as the CEO of Warner Bros. Television and as a vice president at 20th Century Fox Television. While Moonves was vocal about supporting... |
| Jeff Bezos’ kids made their own DJ Roomba with an Echo Posted: 30 Jul 2018 02:49 PM PDT  It's often said that a fresh pair of eyes can be essential for innovation. Altogether, Jeff Bezos' four children have eight twinkling eyes and the common sense to slap an Echo Plus on an iRobot Roomba, an invention that is more or less what analysts are expecting from Amazon next in the form of a mobile Echo robot. In an Instagram post, dad Bezos proudly showed off his kids' handiwork: blue painter's tape haphazardly holding down the Echo to create an Alexa on wheels. The Echo Plus doesn't appear to be plugged in, but rather looks like it's standing on a third-party... |
| T-Mobile signs $3.5 billion deal with Nokia for 5G technology Posted: 30 Jul 2018 02:48 PM PDT  T-Mobile and Nokia have announced a $3.5 billion deal that will see Nokia provide T-Mobile with "complete end-to-end 5G technology, software, and services" as the carrier continues to build out its 5G infrastructure. "We are all in on 5G," commented T-Mobile's chief technology officer Neville Ray in the announcement. Nokia will help build T-Mobile's 5G network on both the 600 MHz and 28 GHz millimeter wave portions of the spectrum, in accordance with the 3GPP's 5G New Radio (NR) standards. It's a major move forward on both sides of the deal. T-Mobile is one of the first major carries to publicly announce an investment into 5G hardware, and it gives Nokia an edge over fellow 5G networking providers like Ericsson and Huawei, all of which... |
| Uber shutters its self-driving truck project Posted: 30 Jul 2018 02:07 PM PDT  Uber's big push to dominate the future of the trucking industry is dead. The ride-hailing company has decided to shutter its self-driving truck project, according to TechCrunch. A spokesperson confirmed the decision. Employees who have been working on Uber's self-driving trucks will be shifted to the company's larger autonomous car efforts. Uber says it will continue working on its in-house lidar project, and that Uber Freight, the company's on-demand logistics side-project, will be unaffected by the decision. "We've decided to stop development on our self-driving truck program and move forward exclusively with cars," Eric... |
| LG made another $1,800 Signature Edition smartphone based on the V35 Posted: 30 Jul 2018 01:21 PM PDT  LG is continuing its quest to corner the market on ultra high-end handsets with a new entry its Signature Edition series, via 9to5Google. Started last year with a modified version of the V30, Signature Edition phones are LG's pricey ceramic devices that run in the ballpark of $1,800. The second version, unveiled today, is basically an LG V35 in a ceramic body. (The V35, announced back in May for $900, is pretty much a G7 ThinQ in the body of a V30.) The back of the phone is made out of zirconium ceramic, a material LG says makes it nearly scratch-proof. Like the first model, this one will run you KRW 1,999,800 (about $1,790 USD at current exchange rates). There will only be 300 units made, and it goes on sale on August 13th. This time... |
| Ecobee’s Peak Relief mode will adjust your thermostat to help save money during the priciest hours Posted: 30 Jul 2018 12:29 PM PDT  Ecobee is launching a "Peak Relief" pilot program for its smart thermostats that will automatically cut down on heating and air conditioning during the day's peak hours to help curb the cost of temperature control. The company says that this program will be customized specifically for each individual's home by taking electricity rates, comfort preferences, the local weather forecast, and the home's energy efficiency into account. Peak Relief bundles this data and ramps up either heat or AC just before those peak times to regulate temperature inside your home. Ecobee says the goal is to help find ways to keep users comfortable while reducing their community's energy usage and electricity bills. The company claims the feature can save... |
