| Senate passes Music Modernization Act Posted: 18 Sep 2018 04:08 PM PDT  The US Senate has approved the Music Modernization Act of 2018, S.2334, with unanimous consent, bringing the first reform for music licensing in 20 years on the cusp of becoming law. The companion version in the House previously passed in April, also with unanimous consent. The bill now must be reconsidered by the House and then ultimately signed by President Trump. Both of those are likely to happen, so the Senate was the last major hurdle. Although the Music Modernization Act was overwhelmingly supported by artists, songwriters, and every other corner of the music industry (and many government officials), it met opposition this summer. Blackstone Group, whose mechanical licensing company Harry Fox Agency stands to be greatly impacted... |
| You thought Dieselgate was over? It’s not. Posted: 18 Sep 2018 02:46 PM PDT  It's been an electrifying month for the German auto industry. Mercedes-Benz presented its first all-electric SUV. BMW offered a glimpse of its upcoming EV strategy by unveiling a concept car. And Audi is going electric, as well. On Monday, the company celebrated the premiere of its first completely battery-powered car, the E-tron. Audi's release party in San Francisco was especially unlikely when you consider what happened just three years ago. As a part of Volkswagen Group, Audi played a central role in developing and installing illegal software in 11 million diesel cars in order to trick emissions tests. On September 18th, 2015, the US Environmental Protection Agency informed the public about VW's and Audi's violation of the Clean Air... |
| AMD’s new Ryzen 45W laptop chips will take on Intel’s Coffee Lake H series processors Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:34 PM PDT  AMD has made two new processors to counter Intel's Coffee Lake H series chips, which are often found in gaming notebooks and mobile workstations. While these are largely just laptop versions of the desktop-class four-core processors that AMD already launched this year, the new chips could mark AMD's expansion into more notebooks and mobile workstations. The new AMD Ryzen 5 2600H and Ryzen 7 2800H are 45-watt processors with four CPU cores, eight processor threads, and Radeon Vega graphics. The new chips support DDR4 RAM up to 3200 MHz, which is decent compared to others on the market. Both 14nm chips can be configured to 35 watts of thermal design power or up to 54 watts, so laptop makers can choose a higher setting for better... |
| Amazon Kindle e-reader and Fire tablets are discounted for Prime members Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:21 PM PDT  Amazon has discounted the cost of its Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets for subscribers of Amazon Prime. We're seeing prices for most of these products match what was offered during Prime Day 2018, which is to say that you can expect a discount between $30-40 depending on which model you're interested in.
Keep in mind, the lowest prices are for the Kindle and Fire models with special offers, meaning Amazon ads will be baked into the sleep and lock screens. However, the same discounts... |
| Google releases Chrome OS 69 with new Material Theme design and Linux support Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:15 PM PDT  Google's big Chrome overhaul that arrived on desktop and mobile earlier this month is coming to Chromebooks today with the release of Chrome OS version 69. The really noticeable change is the new Material Theme redesign of Chrome itself, which brings tabs with rounded corners and some softer aesthetic elements, like a blank white new tab page, to the overall look and feel of the browser. The redesign also delivers some nifty new features like instant search result info in the omnibox address bar for weather, sports, and other Search card items. Most Google Chrome users should already have this redesign on the iOS, Android, and desktop versions of Chrome. For Chrome OS users, version 69 also brings Linux support out of beta and into... |
| The easiest way for Elon Musk to raise money for SpaceX might be tourism Posted: 18 Sep 2018 01:02 PM PDT  Before Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa can fulfill his dream of seeing the Moon with an artist collective, SpaceX still needs to finish the rocket that will take the group to space. The company needs more money to fund the development of the vehicle, dubbed the BFR, and more wealthy patrons may be SpaceX's best funding option. On Monday, Musk estimated that the total development cost of the BFR would run around $5 billion, costing no more than $10 billion but no less than $2 billion. Musk also said SpaceX is spending about 5 percent of its resources on creating this new vehicle at the moment. Musk maintains that the BFR can ultimately be funded through SpaceX's existing projects. Those include launching satellites — both for... |
| Amazon is letting developers make their own Alexa Gadgets Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:58 PM PDT  Amazon first introduced its line of "Alexa Gadgets" — devices that are meant to enhance Echo devices in "fun and playful" ways — with the $20 Echo Button last year, but since then, there hasn't been much movement on other Alexa Gadgets. That changes today, though, with the Alexa Gadgets Toolkit beta that will give tools to developers to create their own Echo-connected accessories. The Alexa Gadgets Toolkit gives developers APIs and technical documentation for building devices that can interact with Echo speakers, as well as helping with things like pairing and connectivity and software updates between your gadgets and their paired Echo devices. |
| Hulu’s live TV service hits 1 million subscribers Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:44 PM PDT  Hulu's live TV streaming service now has more than 1 million subscribers, as reported by USA Today. That number only accounts for a small percentage of Hulu's total subscriber base of 20 million, but is significant given that Hulu's live offering launched just over a year ago. Hulu has invested a lot into making its live TV service feel more natural for those used to cable TV. Earlier this year it introduced a channel guide to let users flip between channels (the way you would on a cable box), keep track of what's on, and choose new shows to record straight from the guide. It also introduced a "recent channels" option to show the last 10 channels you've watched, and a new portion of the menu that displays the last channel you watched. T... |

| Hollywood had a breakdown trying to justify itself at the 2018 Emmys Posted: 18 Sep 2018 12:26 PM PDT  There have now been 70 Emmy Awards ceremonies. That was made abundantly clear throughout this year's telecast, with jokes like, "Things were very different back [in 1949, when the awards launched] — gas was 17 cents a gallon, a new home cost $7,000, and we all agreed that Nazis were bad." Certainly over the course of those 70 years, the Academy has made some embarrassing decisions. The Wire never won an Emmy, for example. Neither did Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek: The Next Generation, or Hannibal. Two and a Half Men, meanwhile, won nine of them. The first Emmy Awards gave one of its six trophies to a ventriloquist! And that's all before getting into the systematic devaluing and ignoring of stellar performances from people of color... |
