| Verizon’s unlimited data customers are getting six free months of Apple Music Posted: 08 Aug 2018 04:00 PM PDT  Verizon this afternoon announced a new, "exclusive" promotion that it has worked out in partnership with Apple: customers on any of the carrier's three unlimited data plans — Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, or Above Unlimited — will receive six free months of Apple Music. That's double the normal free trial period you'd get with Apple's subscription music service. But this isn't just for new listeners; the offer is good regardless of whether you're a current, lapsed, or new Apple Music user; if you're already subscribed, you won't have to worry about paying for it for six months once the deal kicks in. The promotion starts on August 16th, according to Verizon. In some sense, this can be seen as a... |
| Roku’s free streaming service is now available on the web Posted: 08 Aug 2018 02:18 PM PDT  Roku announced today that its free, ad-supported streaming service, The Roku Channel, is now available on the web for viewing on PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Prior to today, users only had access to the channel if they had a Roku TV or streaming device. After creating a Roku account on TheRokuChannel.com, you can start streaming the movies, TV shows, and short videos that the service offers. The Roku Channel features free movies from studios including Paramount, Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, and Warner Bros. It's a lot of older catalog content: think The Matrix, 50 First Dates, Nacho Libre, and Wayne's World 2. There's also now live news from ABC News, Newsy, PeopleTV, and Cheddar, among other partners. It's pretty barebones in terms of... |
| In major defeat for Uber and Lyft, New York City votes to limit ride-hailing cars Posted: 08 Aug 2018 01:39 PM PDT  The New York City Council voted on Wednesday in favor of a cap on the number of for-hire delivery and transportation vehicles on the city's streets, striking a stunning blow to tech companies like Uber and Lyft. The council voted to halt the issuance of new for-hire vehicle licenses for 12 months while it studies the booming industry. Under the cap, Uber and Lyft could still be granted licenses for wheelchair-accessible vehicles — which both companies sorely lack — but would be prevented from adding new ride-hail vehicles for one year. The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission could also issue licenses in particular neighborhoods that are running low on ride-hail vehicles. Another bill that passed would establish a $15 living wage for... |
| This robot uses AI to find Waldo, thereby ruining Where’s Waldo Posted: 08 Aug 2018 01:12 PM PDT  If you're totally stumped on a page of Where's Waldo and ready to file a missing persons report, you're in luck. Now there's a robot called There's Waldo that'll find him for you, complete with a silicone hand that points him out. Built by creative agency Redpepper, There's Waldo zeroes in and finds Waldo with a sniper-like accuracy. The metal robotic arm is a Raspberry Pi-controlled uArm Swift Pro which is equipped with a Vision Camera Kit that allows for facial recognition. The camera takes a photo of the page, which then uses OpenCV to find the possible Waldo faces in the photo. The faces are then sent to be analyzed by Google's AutoML Vision service, which has been trained on photos of Waldo. If the robot determines a match with 95... |
| This is how a leading arms expert imagines a North Korean nuclear attack on the US Posted: 08 Aug 2018 12:31 PM PDT  The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States is a fictional look at a terrifying potential future |
| The FCC lied to Congress about an alleged cyberattack and didn’t come clean until now Posted: 08 Aug 2018 12:30 PM PDT  It's been over a year since Ajit Pai and the Federal Communications Commission claimed that the agency's comment filing system was subjected to a cyberattack during the height of last year's net neutrality debate. But after waves of speculation from both the public and Congress, the commission has finally come clean. According to a report published by the agency's inspector general yesterday, there was no distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, and this relaying of false information to Congress prompted a deeper investigation into whether senior officials at the FCC had broken the law. On May 7th of last year, comedian John Oliver ran a segment on his show, Last Week Tonight,... |
| Chrome now supports Windows 10’s notifications Posted: 08 Aug 2018 12:27 PM PDT  Google is updating Chrome for Windows this week to support the native notification center inside Windows 10. Google has been testing the new support for months, and it means Chrome notifications will now go directly to the Windows 10 Action Center (notification center) by default. Google is currently rolling this out to around 50 percent of Chrome 68 users (as spotted by Thurrott), and it will be the default for the majority of users in the coming days. Chrome's notifications will now adhere to Windows 10's Focus Assist feature which is designed to mute notifications when you're running a game or in a do-not-disturb mode. While it's taken a while to get native Windows 10 notification support for Chrome, Windows users will... |
| Amazon’s Fire HD 8 tablet is $59 today Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:48 AM PDT  Amazon's Fire HD 8 with 32GB of internal storage is discounted to $59 as part of today's Gold Box deal. This is a great opportunity to snag one if you missed out on Prime Day, which saw the 16GB option going for $49. Cheap tablets that come recommended are a rarity, but Amazon's tablets impress for their price — even when they aren't on sale. This Fire HD 8 won't compete with the power or app selection of the latest iPad, or be as versatile as the Surface Go, but this device's screen is decent for the price, and it's best fit for those enmeshed in Amazon's offering of services. Because of their low price, Amazon's tablets are often recommended for kids, but there's plenty for adults to enjoy, as well. All of the usual entertainment apps... |
| Google reportedly using Chinese site it owns to develop search term blacklist Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:44 AM PDT  We now know more about how Google is developing its censored search engine for China. To comply with Chinese authorities, Google has been using search samples from a Beijing-based website it owns to make blacklists, according to The Intercept, which broke news of Google's work on the censored search engine last week. While most of Google's services are blocked in China, its website 265.com remains open. The search engine on 265.com redirects to Baidu, China's dominant search company, by default, but Google can apparently see the queries that users are typing in. Google engineers are reportedly sampling those search queries in order to develop a list of thousands of blocked websites it should hide on its upcoming search engine in China.... |
| Uber Eats is changing its flat fees to delivery fees based on distance Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:37 AM PDT  Uber Eats is getting rid of its $4.99 flat rate delivery fee in favor of a varying fee based on distance, according to CNET. Fees will be cheaper the closer the customer is to the restaurant, and more expensive the farther away they are. Uber's "booking" fees now range from $2 to $8, and a sliding "Max Booking Fee" filter lets customers decide how much they want to pay. Previously with the $4.99 flat fee, Uber Eats had been known to be slightly more expensive compared to other food-delivery apps like Seamless or Grubhub, in which delivery fees vary and are set by the restaurant. With this new move, Uber Eats is now able to compete by offering restaurants with lower, or in some cases, no delivery fees. Although, with surge pricing that... |
