| Chipotle is launching a food and farm tech accelerator program Posted: 22 Aug 2018 04:38 PM PDT  Chipotle announced the launch of an accelerator program today designed to find new and innovative companies in the food and farming space, primarily ones that focus on technology-focused solutions to problems in the agriculture industry. The program, called the Chipotle Aluminaries Project and sponsored by the company's foundation, will last seven months and fund growth-stage companies "with a shared vision to cultivate a better world." "Chipotle has been committed to the future of food with integrity since opening our first restaurant 25 years ago," said Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol in a statement. Niccol joined the company in February from Taco Bell, where he helped architect the fast food chain's resurgence over the last decade. "By... |
| Microsoft to bundle Xbox One consoles, Xbox Live, and Game Pass into a monthly subscription service Posted: 22 Aug 2018 04:35 PM PDT  Microsoft is planning to unveil an Xbox All Access service that will bundle the company's Xbox One consoles with Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass for a monthly fee. Codenamed Project Largo, Microsoft has been working towards the subscription service in recent months. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell The Verge that both the Xbox One S and Xbox One X will be offered as a subscription, and that Microsoft is planning to offer its Xbox One X bundled with Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass for $34.99 per month over 24 months. The subscription will be available from Microsoft's retail stores, and the company is also working with PC makers to try and offer this bundle elsewhere. Windows Central reported on Xbox All Access today, after I... |
| Facebook will pull its data-collecting VPN app from the App Store over privacy concerns Posted: 22 Aug 2018 03:46 PM PDT  Facebook will soon pull a mobile VPN app called Onavo Protect from Apple's App Store, after the iPhone maker declared it violated the store's guidelines on data collection, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Onavo, which began as an Israeli analytics startup focused on helping users monitor their data usage, was acquired by Facebook in 2013. Its VPN provider then became a data collection tool for Facebook to monitor smartphone users' behavior outside its core apps, helping inform Facebook's live video strategy, competition from other social apps, and its decision to acquire companies including WhatsApp. "We've always been clear when... |
| Former Facebook security chief says it’s ‘too late’ to protect 2018 elections Posted: 22 Aug 2018 03:12 PM PDT  Facebook's recently departed security chief says US government inaction has ensured that the upcoming midterm elections will be vulnerable to hacking and online manipulation campaigns. Alex Stamos — who left the company earlier this month — argued his case in an essay for Lawfare, saying it was "too late to protect the 2018 elections." He's responding to two pieces of news from yesterday: Microsoft seizing six domains apparently intended for Russian political phishing attacks, and Facebook deactivating 652 fake accounts and pages that were allegedly engaged in misinformation campaigns. Stamos cites this as evidence that hackers from Russia (and now Iran) have not been deterred from election meddling, and he accuses the Obama... |

| PUBG introduces an elaborate training mode that goes beyond a shooting range Posted: 22 Aug 2018 02:21 PM PDT  In most games, "training mode" is a blank canvas without much to see or do — that is, if there's an educational feature at all. Next month, PUBG will introduce its own training mode that does more than just give you stuff to shoot. The entire map has been constructed to give you playgrounds to improve your skills across various specific areas. This is all coming as a part of Battlegrounds' larger "Fix PUBG" initiative, where the developers of the game laid out a roadmap toward improving the game's performance, matchmaking, cheating, and general quality of life issues. The aim is to develop PUBG into a "better, more stable, and fairer game." The training mode, which debuts sometime next month, will include a traditional shooting range,... |
| What happens when you spend a year using science to improve your brain Posted: 22 Aug 2018 02:05 PM PDT  Here are two things that are both true. Neuroplasticity is real — that is, the brain really can change and learn and improve based on experience. And there's little evidence that brain-training games are any better than placebo. "So," wondered science journalist Caroline Williams, "if brain training isn't the way to apply it, what should we be doing?" Williams is the author of My Plastic Brain: One Woman's Yearlong Journey to Discover if Science Can Improve Her Mind. She picked areas in which she wanted to improve — everything from attention to anxiety to creativity to navigation — and spent a year trying new techniques to see how much she would really pick up. The Verge spoke to Williams about her expectations, more successful (and... |
| Apple reportedly reaches deal with third-party reseller to allow authorized iPhone repairs Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:53 PM PDT  Apple and Simply Mac, a third-party Apple reseller and service provider, have reached a deal that will see the iPhone maker provide the necessary hardware to let Simply Mac conduct authorized screen repairs, according to a report from 9to5Mac. Prior to the deal, Simply Mac was subsiding on a limited number of Touch ID and Face ID-related repair machines and had begun conducting unofficial screen repairs for customers as a result (a move that reportedly did not please Apple, as it raises the risk of hardware issues down the line). While Simply Mac charges the same price as Apple for screen repairs, it serves some customers who don't have access to a local Apple Store in areas like the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and the South. |
