| Evernote slashes price of Premium subscription as many executives depart Posted: 04 Sep 2018 03:30 PM PDT  Evernote is currently offering a sale on its Premium membership, slashing its yearly subscription price from $70 down to a much more reasonable $42. The company offered the same deal earlier this year. If you're interested in grabbing the deal, it's available now on Evernote's site. It only applies if you pay one lump sum for the annual subscription. Meanwhile, Evernote has confirmed to TechCrunch that in the past month the company has lost many senior executives, including its CTO Anirban Kundu, CFO Vincent Toolan, CPO Erik Wrobel and head of HR Michelle Wagner. The company did not comment on a reason for the departures, but a source close to the matter tells TechCrunch that "Evernote is in a death spiral... Paid user growth and active... |
| Netflix and YouTube are most throttled mobile apps by US carriers, new study says Posted: 04 Sep 2018 02:46 PM PDT  Since the demise of net neutrality, US telecoms have increased the amount of throttling they impose on customers trying to watch mobile video through services like Netflix and YouTube, according to new research from a group of researchers at Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The study, the findings of which were published first by Bloomberg today, reveals the extent to which companies like AT&T and Verizon have taken advantage of lax government regulation under President Donald Trump to limit data speeds for customers. This isn't presenting entirely new information. All four big carriers in the US now offer unlimited data plans that restrict streaming video on mobile devices to 480p by default, in an... |
| Instagram is building a standalone app for shopping Posted: 04 Sep 2018 01:38 PM PDT  Instagram is working on a new standalone app dedicated to shopping, The Verge has learned. The app — which may be called IG Shopping — will let users browse collections of goods from merchants that they follow and purchase them directly within the app, according to two people familiar with the matter. Instagram declined to comment. It could not be learned when the app might launch. Its development is still ongoing, and it could be canceled before it is released. But sources familiar with its development say Instagram believes it is well positioned to make a major expansion into e-commerce. More than 25 million businesses already have Instagram accounts, and 2 million of them are advertisers, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl... |
| How Amazon and eBay became a tax haven for Chinese sellers Posted: 04 Sep 2018 01:11 PM PDT  For years, Amazon customers in Europe have enjoyed the shopping giant's ability to deliver everything from best-selling books to phone chargers within days, if not hours, at prices that brick-and-mortar retailers often cannot match. Much like in the United States, online sales are eating up physical retail market shares. By 2023, it's predicted that 21 percent of all non-grocery retail sales in Europe's biggest economies will be online, up from just 13 percent last year. But, increasingly, the large digital platforms, which also operate as marketplaces for third-party sellers, have come under fire for helping foreign retailers skirt taxes. In the EU, practically all marketplace sellers are required to report and pay a sales tax called... |
| Skype’s latest version now has call recording built in Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:55 PM PDT  Skype announced today that call recording is now available in the latest version of the app on most platforms, except Windows 10. This is the first time Skype has offered built-in call recording since it was first released almost 15 years ago. To record a call in Skype, click the + symbol at the bottom of the screen and then select "start recording." Once started, a banner will appear letting everyone on the Skype call know that it is being recorded. If you are recording a video call, the recording will capture everyone's video as well as any shared screens. The recording all happens in the cloud, and when the call is done, it's then posted to your chat and will be available to download and share with other Skype contacts for 30 days. T... |
| Apple Watch remains best-selling wearable with 4.7 million shipments last quarter Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:48 PM PDT  Apple maintained its position at the top of the smartwatch sales chart last quarter, selling 4.7 million Apple Watches and capturing 17 percent of the global market, according to a report published today by research firm IDC. Apple now remains just ahead of Xiaomi, which trailed Apple by two percentage points in market share and 500,000 unit shipments in the second quarter of the year. Fitbit, Huawei, and Garmin are far behind, with IDC reporting that higher demand for more fully featured smartwatches is driving demand for Apple products and reducing the popularity of lower-cost fitness trackers. IDC stresses that this is a natural cycle for consumer electronics and that fitness-focused devices will still have a place in the market... |
| China’s top streaming service hides video view counts after click farms inflated numbers Posted: 04 Sep 2018 12:40 PM PDT  China's top streaming service iQiyi is turning off view counts on all of its videos. Instead, videos will be evaluated for popularity based on a new system to "underline the company's commitment to the highest quality content." iQiyi is mostly known for its polished productions like the new historical drama Story of Yanxi Palace about back-stabbing concubines and hip-hop dancing reality show Hot-Blood Dance Crew. But the streaming service, which has been likened to Netflix and Hulu, sets itself apart from those platforms by allowing users to upload their own content and grow their own audiences. It's also owned by Baidu, China's largest search engine, and it has a lot of investment in AI tools. Despite its commercial successes, the... |
| Apple reportedly not planning to add in-display fingerprint sensor on upcoming iPhones Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:27 AM PDT  Apple went all-in on Face ID with the iPhone X last year, excising the company's long-time Touch ID fingerprint sensor in favor of the new, facial recognition feature. Don't expect that to change anytime in the future, either, with supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claiming in his latest research note that Apple won't be adding in-display Touch ID fingerprint sensors to both this year's or next year's iPhone models, via 9to5Mac. According to Kuo, limiting factors in Apple's decision have to do with the fact that the current crop of sensors have more limited support for OLED screens (which Apple uses in its iPhone X models), along with the sensors only working in a specific location instead of the whole screen. Recent rumors have... |
| FCC chairman says Twitter, Facebook, Google may need transparency law Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:20 AM PDT  The leader of the Federal Communications Commission says that major web companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google have offered little transparency into how they work — and it's time to seriously consider forcing them to tell us. In a blog post today, FCC chairman Ajit Pai calls out a long list of algorithmic and moderation decisions by web companies (including Twitter choosing not to ban New York Times columnist Sarah Jeong, a former Verge writer) and says that "consumers have virtually no insight" into how or why they happen. The same goes for privacy issues around how and where our data is used, Pai says. "The public deserves to know more about how these companies operate," he writes. "And we need to seriously think about whether... |
| The Verge fall movie preview, September 2018 Posted: 04 Sep 2018 11:02 AM PDT  Every year, the shift into cooler weather comes alongside a shift into a cooler box office lineup: fewer billion-dollar blockbusters, fewer on-screen explosions, and a general trend toward less slashing, crashing action and more intense emotional action. The one thing that really heats up at the box office during the fall and winter season is the awards race: the last quarter of the year is a time for Oscar-bait projects and intense awards campaigning. So today, we start The Verge's four-part fall movie preview, which will look ahead at the next four months of cinema — from serious dramas to holiday family films, with plenty of stops in the middle for one-off supervillains and space monsters. This isn't a comprehensive list of releases.... |
