| Customer sues AT&T for negligence over SIM hijacking that led to millions in lost cryptocurrency Posted: 15 Aug 2018 03:16 PM PDT  US entrepreneur and cryptocurrency investor Michael Terpin is suing AT&T for negligence and fraud that he claims resulted in millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency tokens being stolen from his account. Terpin says AT&T was his mobile carrier when criminals accessed his cellphone account by carrying out SIM swap fraud. They then stole the tokens and allegedly transferred his account to an international criminal gang. Terpin is suing for the $23.8 million and an additional $200 million in punitive damages. AT&T told Reuters in a statement that it disputed these allegations. SIM hijacking occurs when a phone number is transferred to a different SIM card than the account owner's without authorization or approval. Having access to a... |
| A bunch of Tweetbot features no longer work in preparation for the Twitter API change Posted: 15 Aug 2018 01:49 PM PDT  Twitter is planning to roll out changes to its API tomorrow, and it's already having effects on Tweetbot. Tapbots updated Tweetbot for iOS today and with it came the removal of timeline streaming on Wi-Fi; push notifications for likes, retweets, follows, and quotes; the activity and stats tab; and the Apple Watch app. Meanwhile, push notifications for mentions or DMs will be delayed by a few minutes, and timelines will refresh automatically every one to two minutes instead of streaming on Wi-Fi. None of these changes fundamentally ruin Tweetbot, but they certainly make the app less useful. When Tweetbot 3 launched on the Mac in May, the company said it had planned for these API changes and that they wouldn't result in a substantial... |
| Japan regulator reportedly looking into whether Apple secretly crushed an App Store competitor Posted: 15 Aug 2018 01:34 PM PDT  Japan's Fair Trade Commission is looking into whether Apple improperly pressured Yahoo Japan to shut down a game streaming platform that competed with the iOS App Store, according to Nikkei. Yahoo Japan's Game Plus service allowed people to stream full games made for other platforms and to play HTML5 games on mobile phones, which would have allowed iPhone owners to get games without going through the App Store. Nikkei reports that Yahoo Japan slashed the program's budget last fall, just months after it launched, and told partners that it was due to pressure from Apple. It's said to have begun filing complaints with Japan's FTC around the same time. Developers essentially have no... |
| Uber reportedly lost $891 million in the second quarter of 2018 as growth slows Posted: 15 Aug 2018 01:16 PM PDT  Uber brought in $2.8 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2018, but ultimately lost $891 million thanks to increased spending by the ride-hailing company, according to Bloomberg. Uber, which is privately held but chooses to report its quarterly earnings to investors and the public, is seeing some growing pains from its massive effort to scale globally. It's cash-burn rate wasn't as bad as the same period last year, when the company reported losing roughly $1.1 billion. But it's a big drop from the previous quarter, when the company posted a rare profit thanks to its decision to sell its businesses in southeast Asia and Russia to local rivals. Uber is planning for an initial public... |
| Motorola’s latest phone looks exactly like an iPhone X with a Huawei paint job Posted: 15 Aug 2018 01:07 PM PDT  Motorola has made a new iPhone X clone called the P30 that comes in an iridescent twilight color reminiscent of Huawei's P20, as spotted by PhoneArena. When we say clone, the rear of the phone looks nearly identical to the iPhone X, except that Apple's logo has been replaced with Motorola's and it doubles as a fingerprint sensor. Huawei's P20 comes in twilight, which is a deep purple that can turn into blue, depending on what lighting it's under. Motorola is calling its similar shade "Aurora." By taking some of the iPhone X's looks and the Huawei P20's most memorable color, the Motorola P30 combines the best of both worlds, even if some might call it derivative. It will come to China before it sees greater availability around the world. |
| Diablo III leaks for the Switch, out later this year Posted: 15 Aug 2018 12:57 PM PDT  It looks like Diablo III is coming to the Switch, according to a since-deleted post from Forbes that was spotted by Reddit user Riomegon. The Switch port of the game is apparently going to be released as the Diablo III: Eternal Collection, a $59.99 bundle that will include both the Reaper of Souls and Rise of the Necromancer expansions, along with the other content and updates that Blizzard has released over the years. There are also apparently some Nintendo exclusive in-game items: a Ganondorf-styled cosmetic armor set, a Tri-Force portrait frame, a Cucco pet, and more. Diablo III has been rumored to be coming to Nintendo's latest console since February, when Blizzard first... |
| Android 9 Pie (Go edition) will make Android Go better this fall Posted: 15 Aug 2018 12:32 PM PDT  Android 9 Pie may have gotten the headlines, but Google has also announced that its latest pastry-named OS is coming to its Android Go line with Android 9 Pie (Go edition). The biggest change in Android 9 Pie (Go edition) is increased storage. According to Google's blog post, the operating system for Android 9 Pie (Go edition) takes up less space on a device, giving users up to 500MB of additional storage out of the box compared to previous versions of Android Go. Additionally, Google is promising faster device boot times, better security features (including verified boot), and a new dashboard for tracking and monitoring data usage, similar to what's already offered on the full version of Android. The first phones with... |
| Children are susceptible to peer pressure from robots Posted: 15 Aug 2018 11:13 AM PDT  "If your friends told you to jump off a bridge, would you?" It's a warning you probably heard in childhood, a hypothetical example of the dangers of groupthink. And it likely inspired more impulsive behavior than it prevented. But in the not-too-distant future, parents may have to update this little adage: "If a robot told you to jump off a bridge, would you?" Because, as it turns out, quite a few probably would. In a study published today in the journal Science Robotics, researchers from Germany and the UK demonstrated that children are susceptible to peer pressure from robots. The findings, say the researchers, show that, as robots and AIs become integrated into social spaces, we need to be careful about the influence they wield,... |
| T-Mobile quietly launches free 30-day trials of its network in three cities Posted: 15 Aug 2018 11:07 AM PDT  T-Mobile says it has added more new postpaid customers than its rivals each quarter for several years running, and to keep that momentum going, the company is again trying to squash negative perceptions about its network's reliability and coverage. T-Mobile is now offering free trials of its service in Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; and Boston, Massachusetts. The company made no mention of this new program during today's Uncarrier event. Unlike the nationwide Test Drive program that T-Mobile ran in 2014, where people could use an iPhone 5S that had T-Mobile service, this time, testers will get a portable Wi-Fi hot spot with a SIM inside. You'll have to connect the device you're testing to that to get a sense of T-Mobile's network... |
| The past, present, and future of the lithium-ion battery Posted: 15 Aug 2018 11:26 AM PDT  In 1800, Alessandro Volta invented the first version of the thing we now call a battery. We've come a long way from his initial gadget to the lithium-ion batteries that power much of our lives, including our phones, batteries, cars, satellites, and more. Batteries are undergoing a kind of renaissance. They're more powerful than ever, and we've gotten smarter about how to use them. Besides being an important part of our everyday lives — who doesn't get stressed out when their phone is at 9 percent? — they're also playing a role in storing renewable energy. This workhorse technology influences a lot more than just tech. Some gaming systems depend on battery-powered controllers, and in order... |
