| Four Tinder plaintiffs drop out of lawsuit because Match might have quietly changed their contracts Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:37 PM PDT  Four Tinder plaintiffs — Rosette Pambakian, Joshua Metz, Jonathan Badeen, and James Kim — are voluntarily withdrawing from their Match Group / IAC lawsuit today, claiming the company covertly tried to enact an arbitration agreement during their employment. All four plaintiffs worked at Tinder, which Match Group owns, up until they filed the lawsuit. At that point, Match / IAC placed them on administrative leave. They all seemingly signed the arbitration agreement. In a comment to The Verge, Pambakian said:

| Apple self-driving test car gets rear-ended by a Nissan Leaf in first ever crash Posted: 31 Aug 2018 04:18 PM PDT  One of Apple's autonomous cars, which are currently driving around Sunnyvale, California and other nearby Silicon Valley cities, got into its very first crash one week ago, according to a report filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Like many self-driving car crashes, this one was not the software's fault. The Apple car, a modified Lexus RX450h SUV carrying special equipment and sensors, was traveling at just 1 mph while preparing to merge onto the Lawrence Expressway in Sunnyvale when a Nissan Leaf rear-ended it going around 15 mph. Apple's Lexus and the Leaf sustained damage, but neither car's passengers received any injuries, the report states. This isn't indicative of Apple's progress on self-driving cars in any... |
| California passes strongest net neutrality law in the country Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:49 PM PDT  California's legislature has approved a bill being called the strongest net neutrality law in the US. The bill would ban internet providers from blocking and throttling legal content and prioritizing some sites and services over others. It would apply these restrictions to both home and mobile connections. That would essentially restore the net neutrality rules enacted federally under former President Barack Obama, which were later repealed by the Federal Communications Commission under the watch and guidance of current chairman Ajit Pai. But this bill actually goes further than those rules with an outright ban on zero-rating — the practice of offering free data, potentially to the advantage of some companies over others — of specific... |
| Google won’t be releasing its own smartwatch this year Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:39 PM PDT  Google has confirmed to Tom's Guide that it has no plans to release its own smartwatch this year. Earlier rumors had pointed to a likely release of a so-called "Pixel Watch" and many were expecting it would be announced alongside the Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, and whatever else Google has planned for an expected October 9th hardware event. If you are still holding out hope for some reason, Tom's Guide didn't leave much room for doubt in Google's plans, confirming the news with the company after interviewing one of its executives:

| Apple launches repair program for defective iPhone 8 logic boards Posted: 31 Aug 2018 03:29 PM PDT  Apple quietly announced the launch of a free repair program for the iPhone 8 this afternoon, revealing that a "very small percentage" of units need replacement logic boards due to a manufacturing defect. The logic board is essentially the main printed circuit board of a computing device, containing the CPU, device memory, and other integral components. Apple says its faulty logic boards may have been causing random restarts, screen freezes, and defective startup initiations that prevent the iPhone 8 from turning on properly. The defect does not affect the iPhone X or the iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple says the affected units include only those sold between September 2017 and March 2018 in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Macau, New... |
| Sprint’s new Unlimited Premium plan comes with an Amazon Prime subscription Posted: 31 Aug 2018 02:49 PM PDT  Sprint is introducing a new, top-tier unlimited data option that it's calling Unlimited Premium. The plan costs $90 per month — if you set up autopay — and it includes subscriptions to Hulu (with commercials) and Tidal Premium. Customers also get 50GB of LTE hotspot data, 1080p video streaming, and Sprint's usual international service perks like global roaming and free talk/text/LTE in Mexico and Canada. But the most interesting thing about Sprint's latest "VIP, platinum-style" plan has nothing to do with mobile phone service at all. This plan includes an Amazon Prime membership, which usually runs $119 per year. By Sprint's own math, the carrier claims "these services... |
| Twitter is testing threaded replies and status indicators Posted: 31 Aug 2018 02:41 PM PDT  Sara Haider, Twitter's director of product management, tweeted a couple screenshots today showing off changes the platform is considering to make things more "conversational." Their solution? Threaded conversations and status indicators. They make the app look a lot more like Facebook comment threads.
The threading seems fine and like it could make following a conversation easier, just like threading within a user's own tweets did when that feature launched back in December of last year.... |
| NASA says it wants to save the Mars Opportunity rover, but some close to the mission doubt it Posted: 31 Aug 2018 02:29 PM PDT  On Thursday, NASA announced a new plan for attempting to recover Opportunity, the Mars rover that has been unresponsive since it was caught in a major dust storm earlier this summer. But some people who work on Opportunity believe that NASA is instead preparing to give up on the longest operational Mars spacecraft because it might be too expensive to rescue. The Opportunity rover landed on Mars in 2004 with just three months worth of planned work. Fourteen years later, the rover has traversed about 30 miles of Martian surface. Over that time it survived some scares, including a previous dust storm in 2007. But the storm it faced this summer was the most massive one Mars has seen in decades. |
| Microsoft says its US contractors must offer paid parental leave Posted: 31 Aug 2018 02:01 PM PDT  Microsoft is extending parental leave benefits to contractors, mandating that many employees who work with the company be given 12 weeks of paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child. There are a number of caveats, but overall the policy starts to ensure that more people around the US have the privilege of recovering after birth and spending time with their newborn. The policy applies to a wide range of companies whose employees perform work for Microsoft. "Examples could include people who staff our cafeterias and provide janitorial services to companies who provide professional services such as engineering consulting," a spokesperson said. It won't apply to all companies,... |
| How to pick the cloud storage service that’s right for you Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:30 PM PDT  Storing your most sensitive files locally on a hard drive is still (and probably always will be) the logical thing to do. But it's not always the most convenient, which is why most of us look to cloud storage as a secondary option. It has its own set of benefits: it's reasonably affordable, it makes sharing files easier, it's ubiquitous across most operating systems and devices, and it's just really nice to have a backup when your hard drive dies. There are several services to pick from, and some of them are pretty similar. While common at their core offerings (to give you copious amounts of space to store files online), only a few go beyond that by giving users more free storage upfront, useful online productivity tools, and the option... |
