Posted: 31 Jul 2018 04:35 PM PDT

Huawei overtook Apple and moved up into second place in market share of worldwide smartphone shipments in Q2 2018, according to data from IDC, Canalys, and Strategy Analytics. The company shipped over 54 million handsets in the second quarter compared to the 41.3 million iPhones that Apple sold and Samsung's 73 million units.

A judge has stopped the plan to post 3D-printed gun blueprints online

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 04:13 PM PDT

A judge today granted a request for a restraining order temporarily blocking a controversial plan to post 3D-printed gun blueprints online.

The restraining order was one more turn in a years-long legal skirmish over Defense Distributed, a Texas organization run by a man named Cody Wilson that is looking to make homemade firearms available to the masses through 3D printing. Wilson had planned to post the blueprints tomorrow, after reaching a settlement with the Trump administration last month that allowed the plan to go forward.

But nine attorneys general intervened earlier this week, arguing that the settlement is unconstitutional. A federal judge in Seattle today halted the scheduled release of...

Facebook shuts off access to user data for hundreds of thousands of apps

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 03:35 PM PDT

Facebook this evening announced that it's shutting off access to its application programming interface, the developer platform that lets app makers access user data, for hundreds of thousands of inactive apps. The company had set an August 1st deadline back in May, during its F8 developer conference, for developers and businesses to re-submit apps to an internal review, a process that involves signing new contracts around user data collection and verifying one's authenticity.

The goal is to ensure third-party software on Facebook was in line with the company's data privacy rules and new restrictions put in place in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which a third-party developer siphoned user data and sold it to another...

Spotify is now streaming Archie motion comics

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 03:31 PM PDT

Spotify has partnered up with Nerdist to offer motion comics based on new Archie comics. All six issues/episodes feature music and voice acting alongside the original comic illustrations. If you watch Riverdale on CW or Netflix, you'll be familiar with the characters and their backstories, but the storyline follows the comics and diverges from the television show.

The motion comics are available in Spotify's mobile app. To watch, tap play and the episode will begin. You'll be reading, hearing, and experiencing the comic all at once. The text of the comics still appear, but since the comic auto-plays rather quickly between panels, you don't really get the option to read at your own pace. The graphics also appear a bit small compared to W...

Tesla whistleblower countersues over Elon Musk’s ‘defamatory’ statements

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 03:30 PM PDT

The former Tesla employee who was sued for allegedly hacking and leaking trade secrets has filed a counterclaim against the company over potentially defamatory comments made by CEO Elon Musk. Martin Tripp, who worked at Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada until June, says in the new filing that a number of comments Musk made about him in the past few weeks — some from a company-wide email, others in various statements to the press, and some from a handful of the CEO's tweets — are false, caused emotional distress, and have even led to "numerous threats to his personal safety."

Tripp also claims in the countersuit that he has been forced to relocate, has experienced health problems like anxiety and nausea, and has trouble sleeping as a result...

Apple Pay is coming to CVS and 7-Eleven later this year

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:36 PM PDT

Apple Pay will be supported in CVS pharmacies and 7-Eleven stores nationwide, CEO Tim Cook announced on a call with investors this afternoon following the company's positive third quarter earnings results.

In addition to adding CVS and 7-Eleven as retail partners, Cook says Apple Pay handled more total transactions last quarter — more than 1 billion — than competitor Square and more mobile transactions than PayPal. The platform will also be launching in Germany later this year, Cook added.

Apple Pay has had a steady rollout since its launch in October 2014, and it now supports most major credit cards and US banks. It's also available in more than two dozen countries and regions and supports around 4,900 banks globally. Despite...

Microsoft starts testing Your Phone Windows 10 app that mirrors phone content to a PC

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:28 PM PDT

Microsoft is starting to test its new Your Phone app for Windows 10. The software maker first unveiled the app back at the company's Build developer conference in May, and it's designed to mirror content from a phone to a PC. Android phone users will be able to test Your Phone first, with the ability to drag and drop recent photos straight into Office apps and other Windows apps direct from a phone. Microsoft is also planning to add support for text message sync and notifications from phones to mirror to a PC.

The Your Phone app requires an Android app to be installed to mirror phone content to a PC, and Microsoft is also planning to extend this same feature to iPhone users. Microsoft claimed photos and notifications will be mirrored...

Apple races to become the first trillion-dollar company after strong Q3 earnings

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 02:19 PM PDT

Apple posted its third quarter earnings today with a revenue of $53.3 billion, surpassing its projection by $1 billion. It's the strongest third quarter for the company ever, despite one that tends to slow on iPhone sales as consumers prepare for new smartphone announcements in the fall. The average selling price of the iPhone was $724, which was above analyst estimates of $693.

Apple's expected revenue for fiscal Q4 is $60 to $62 billion, a 16 to 19 percent growth from this period last year. The strong forecast could suggest that multiple new hardware devices are coming in the fall; so far, rumors suggest that up to three new iPhone models could be announced, while consumers are also anticipating a new version of the iPad Pro and a...

Google search will now highlight useful data journalism from news stories

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 11:52 AM PDT

Google is working with publishers to make it easier to view data journalism in search results, as announced on its blog today. It's one of the steps Google News Initiative is taking to make data journalism more visible, with the field quickly growing across media. Over half of all newsrooms now have dedicated data journalists, and this feature aims to pinpoint the most useful results from pages containing data tables.

"Data journalism takes many forms, and it's not always clear from the headline that there is potentially useful data within that document or story," Google News Lab's Simon Rogers wrote in today's blog post. "It isn't always easy for Google Search to detect and understand tables of data to surface the most relevant...

Facebook is making its navigation bar a little more personal

Posted: 31 Jul 2018 11:49 AM PDT

Facebook is redesigning the navigation on its mobile app to prioritize the services you use most frequently.

The navigation bar, which spans the bottom of the screen on the iOS app and the top on Android, previously showed every user in the same country the same five icons. For example, in the US, it was the News Feed, notifications, menu, Watch, and Marketplace. According to CNET, with this update, everyone will still see the News Feed, notification, and menu icons, but the other slots will be replaced with icons for what you use the most, like links to your profile, friend requests, or groups. The app will shoot you an alert when one of these new shortcuts is added.
