| Netflix cancels its talk shows starring Michelle Wolf and Joel McHale Posted: 18 Aug 2018 11:15 AM PDT  Netflix has canceled The Break With Michelle Wolf and The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale; neither of the talk shows will make it to a second season. Their brief runs are the latest example of Netflix's struggle to deliver a show in this format that can draw eyes and maintain regular viewership. The company ended Chelsea Handler's weekly talk show — its first real foray into the genre — last October after two seasons. Chelsea initially aired three nights each week before moving to a once-weekly schedule. Each of The Break with Michelle Wolf's 10 episodes debuted weekly. The show began streaming in May, not long after Wolf's controversial and profile-raising performance as host of the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner. Wolf has... |
| Google rolls back Android Messages to old design and removes dark mode Posted: 18 Aug 2018 09:00 AM PDT  On Thursday, it looked as though Google was starting to roll out a redesigned version of its vital Android Messages app. The update featured some visual changes like getting rid of the blue bar at the top and switching over to the company's Google Sans font. It also included a dark mode as an alternative to the default, so-much-white look. But late last night, as Reddit users were quick to notice, Google reverted to the old Android Messages design — even for those who had already installed the most recent update. If you had the new Messages yesterday, open it up today and you'll see that it's gone. Yes, Google has the server-side ability to change the look of Messages on a dime. Some users had complained about losing the... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 18 Aug 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Usually I write about recent movies I've watched up here, but my backlog of films to write about has gotten shorter and shorter for a couple reasons recently: for one, it's summer, so I'm finding more reasons to leave the house. But also, my girlfriend and I have been playing a lot of Breath of the Wild. I've never really understood the appeal of Let's Plays or other game streams, but I'm starting to get an idea for why they'd be so entertaining. Even when you're not playing, you can still have the same surprises and a-ha moments as the gamer. But really, the better part is that it becomes a communal experience. It's not just your reactions, but the reactions of whoever's playing, too. I realize a great many people have discovered this... |
| Discounted MacBook Pros, Amazon devices, and a GTX 1080 Ti bundle are this week’s best deals Posted: 18 Aug 2018 08:00 AM PDT  This upcoming week feels like the last big back to school push from retailers. We're seeing Amazon devices drop down to near-Prime Day 2018 prices. Bose noise-canceling headphones, which are excellent study buddies, have had enjoyed a week-long $50 discount. There's a whole lot more to see, whether you're looking for portable tech or gear to fill out your entertainment center. Starting with a big deal on a high-end graphics card, B&H is offering a discount on the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti by way of a $999 bundle that packs in a computer case, modular PSU, motherboard, liquid cooling system, and more. This card's dominance in the GPU pack will likely be toppled by Nvidia's own Turing cards that are expected to be unveiled next week, but it's... |
| How Crazy Rich Asians turns a traditional Asian rom-com trope into a modern statement Posted: 18 Aug 2018 07:00 AM PDT  Minor spoilers ahead for Crazy Rich Asians. With the new romantic dramedy Crazy Rich Asians, based on the bestselling novel by Kevin Kwan, Warner Bros. is making a rare venture into films with an all-Asian cast. But the Asian romantic comedy is already a wildly popular genre that's spawned a variety of online fan communities, and it comes with its own set of heavily used tropes, such as buffoonish gangsters who hold the female lead for ransom, or a male lead who gets into a car accident and ends up with amnesia. One of the most common tropes, the evil mother-in-law, appears in Crazy Rich Asians, but the filmmakers subvert it in a quietly revolutionary way, transforming the portrayal of Asian women in Western media. The characters in C... |
| HBO has picked up its Watchmen show for a full season Posted: 18 Aug 2018 06:29 AM PDT  HBO's adaptation of the classic graphic novel Watchmen is officially coming to small screens. After ordering a pilot episode last year, the network has picked up the show for a full first season, which will debut in 2019. Along with the announcement of the series pickup and roughly when we'll be able to expect the show, the network announced the cast for the series, which will include Regina King (Southland), Jeremy Irons (Justice League), Tim Blake Nelson (Wormwood), and more.
The network didn't reveal just what the show will be about, saying only that it was "set in an alternate history where "superheroes" are treated as... |
| Hug your old Mac with these retro pillows Posted: 18 Aug 2018 06:00 AM PDT  We all love our computers a lot (most of the time). But what if you could give your favorite gadget an actual hug? That's where pillow company Throwboy comes in, with a Kickstarter for its lineup of "Iconic" gadget pillows that look oddly similar to some of Apple's most famous products over the years. Throwboy is extremely careful to never mention the words "Apple," "Mac," or "iPhone" anywhere on its Kickstarter page, but the pillows are unmistakable to anyone who's ever interacted with an Apple product. The line of five pillows are instead just dubbed as the 1977 pillow (Apple II), 1984 pillow (the original Macintosh), 1998 pillow (iMac), 2001 pillow (iPod), and 2007 pillow (iPhone). The pillows themselves look like... |
| Google’s ambitions for China could trigger a crisis inside the company Posted: 18 Aug 2018 03:00 AM PDT  On Thursday afternoon, a critical meeting at Google was derailed by a handful of tweets. Employees who had been pressing top executives for answers about the company's plans to build a censored search engine and news app for the Chinese market appeared to have finally gotten their wish. Google cofounder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai had taken the stage to address employees' concerns. "We'll definitely be transparent as we get closer to actually having a plan of record," Pichai said, according to a report from The Intercept's Ryan Gallagher. Then employees noticed that executives' words were being transcribed in real time by the New York Times' Kate Conger, who had a source inside. Upon which an unidentified employee at the meeting... |
| Tesla eyes cost savings so it can make $25,000 cars in three years, Elon Musk tells MKBHD Posted: 17 Aug 2018 07:31 PM PDT  It's been a hell of a week for Tesla CEO Elon Musk: federal investigations, allegations of drug trafficking, and a tearful interview with the biggest newspaper in the world. So why not cap the week with an interview with popular You Tuber and avowed Tesla fan (and Model S owner) Marques Brownlee to talk Model 3 production, technology, science, and basically everything not having to do with this off-the-rails news cycle. The interview, which MKBHD promoted as "the most important video probably ever on my channel," took place August 15th, a week after Musk's fateful "funding secured" tweet about taking Tesla private. But that tweet, which has since spawned a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, never comes up in the course of... |
