| Hurricane Willa’s dangerous intensification, explained Posted: 22 Oct 2018 06:44 PM PDT  After a massive intensification over the weekend, Hurricane Willa is whirling toward Mexico's west coast as a Category 4 storm. Everything about the storm will be life-threatening, the National Hurricane Center warns: hurricane-force winds, flash flooding, landslides, and storm surge are predicted along the storm's path. "Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion," the National Hurricane Center says. Just days ago, Hurricane Willa was a tropical storm, CNN reports. By Monday morning, Willa had become a Category 5 hurricane with winds reaching speeds of 165 miles per hour. By Monday afternoon, the winds had slackened just a little to 150 miles per hour, and the National Hurricane Center downgraded the storm... |
| Linus Torvalds returns to Linux development with new code of conduct in place Posted: 22 Oct 2018 05:16 PM PDT  Linus Torvalds, the software engineer and outspoken Linux kernel creator, has returned to oversee the open source project following a self-imposed break last month designed to help him adjust his controversial behavior. Torvalds, who has a reputation for being rude and aggressive to other members of the community, said at the time that wanted to address his "flippant" actions and proclivity for personal attacks. "I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development," Torvalds wrote at the time. Now, about one month later, interim Linux chief Greg Kroah-Hartman, who Torvalds appointed to oversee development of the kernel, has announced... |
| Mozilla is going to sell VPN subscriptions within Firefox Posted: 22 Oct 2018 03:24 PM PDT  Today Mozilla announced that it will be running an experiment where a small group of Firefox users will be shown an ad to purchase a subscription to ProtonVPN, as spotted by ZDNet. In a blog post, Mozilla says it picked ProtonVPN for the partnership due to factors like transparency and data retention policies. Beginning October 24th, the ad will show for select US-based Firefox users who are running the latest version — Firefox 62 — on desktop. If eligible and browsing on an unsecured network, you'll be shown an ad in the top right corner of your Firefox window that prompts you to click through to a sign up page. Mozilla is offering ProtonVPN's services for $10 a month, which is actually $2 more than... |
| Asus will soon launch its first 15-inch Chromebook Posted: 22 Oct 2018 03:14 PM PDT  Asus has made a new Chromebook with a 15.6-inch display, the biggest it's ever gone for a Chrome OS notebook, according to ChromeUnboxed. Besides the new display size, the rest of the upcoming Chromebook C523's specs sound similar to the company's previous efforts. The 15.6-inch anti-glare display has a resolution of 1920 x 1080; Asus will also optionally offer a version with a touchscreen. The "NanoEdge design" allows for slimmed-down side bezels, though the top and bottom bezels are still fairly substantial. It's got a 180 degree hinge so that it can be laid flat down if needed. The Chromebook C523 is powered by an Intel Celeron dual-core processor or an Intel Pentium quad-core processor, depending on which configuration you choose.... |
| Amazon exec and Super Micro CEO call for retraction of spy chip story Posted: 22 Oct 2018 02:58 PM PDT  Today, executives from both Amazon and the server manufacturer, Super Micro, are calling for the retraction of a Bloomberg report published earlier this month. The report alleged that these chips were able to compromise the computer networks of as many as 30 companies, including networks belonging to Amazon. Last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook called for Bloomberg to retract a report claiming that Chinese spies smuggled malicious microchips into a company server. In an unprecedented move, Cook sat down for an interview with BuzzFeed News last week in order to address the allegations proposed in the Bloomberg report. Cook said, "This did not happen. There's no truth to this," eventually calling for the publication to retract the story which he... |
| Google News app bug is using up gigabytes of background data without users’ knowledge Posted: 22 Oct 2018 02:41 PM PDT  Some users of Google News for Android are reporting that the app has used up excessive amounts of background data, leading to overage charges. According to dozens of posts on the Google News Help Forum, users have been experiencing this issue as early as June. The issue was verified and addressed by a Google News community manager in September, stating that the company was investigating and working toward a fix, but the issue is still ongoing. Verge reader Zach Dowdle emailed in with his experience, and screenshots of his app and Wi-Fi data usage.

| Apple’s Phil Schiller confirms the iPhone XR name doesn’t stand for anything Posted: 22 Oct 2018 02:11 PM PDT  It is one of the enduring mysteries of our time: in a lineup full of otherwise neatly named products, Apple's alternative hardware cycle iPhones have always seen an -S appended to their names, going back to the iPhone 3GS in 2009. But the question remains: what does the S actually stand for? Turns out, mostly nothing — according to Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller, who told Engadget in an interview that the letters the company picks for its products don't actually stand for anything at all. That includes this year's iPhone XS and XS Max, and of course, the puzzlingly named iPhone XR. (The X does stand for 10, though.) Schiller did go on to explain what the letters meant to him, commenting that "I love... |
| Samsung teases a reveal for its foldable, dual-screen smartphone Posted: 22 Oct 2018 01:55 PM PDT  Samsung is getting closer to taking the wraps off its foldable smartphone, a prototype of which has supposedly been in the works for years now. In a tweet sent late last week, the company teased a big reveal of the device, or at least a prototype version of it, describing its upcoming developer conference as "the crossroads between the present and the future" and showing a subtle graphic of two lines unfolding into a right-facing arrow. We've been hearing for a while now that Samsung was close to showing off its foldable phone. Samsung CEO DJ Koh hinted in an interview with CNBC in September that the product could arrive as soon as this year, but we still haven't seen any hardware, even in just the prototype phase.

| Honor teaser knocks the Magic 2 against a table to a beat and it’s really hard to watch Posted: 22 Oct 2018 01:35 PM PDT  Honor briefly showed off its upcoming Magic 2 phone a few months back, revealing a bezel-less screen and a sliding mechanism that opens up to a camera. The company will unveil the device officially on October 31st, but until then, Honor is teasing the phone with a series of hands-on videos by Chinese celebrities giving their impressions. We can see from the video there are three rear cameras, similar to the P20 Pro by Huawei, its parent company. Honor is also leaning hard into the clicking sound the slider makes, by releasing videos featuring "beats" made with the slider. Here's a video featuring a Chinese singer unboxing the Honor 2, and then singing over the beat. It's cringeworthy, but not as difficult to watch as this TikTok video... |
| Be More Chill, Broadway’s unlikely viral hit, is getting a film adaptation Posted: 22 Oct 2018 01:35 PM PDT  Be More Chill — the up-and-coming sci-fi Broadway musical based on Ned Vizzini's novel of the same name — is getting a film adaptation, according to a report from Deadline. Shawn Levy's 21 Laps and Greg Berlanti's Berlanti Productions have been tapped to make a movie version of the musical, although the deal is still early on, and no film studio has been chosen for distribution yet. If you're not familiar with Be More Chill, you're likely not alone: the show first debuted to little fanfare as a regional production in 2015 that adapted Vizzini's young adult novel about Jeremy Heere, an unpopular high school student who takes a pill containing a "SQUIP" (Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor, which manifests as a smooth-talking,... |
