| Faraday Future loses EV pioneer amid layoffs Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:54 PM PDT  Peter Savagian, a former chief engineer of General Motors' famous (and ill-fated) EV1 electric car, has left his job as senior vice president at Faraday Future, two sources tell The Verge. The news comes one week after the electric car startup announced layoffs and salary cuts as a result of a fallout with China's Evergrande Group, which is Faraday Future's main investor. Reached by phone Monday, Savagian declined to comment. A representative for Faraday Future did not return requests for comment. Savagian started at Faraday Future in the summer of 2016. He was one of a number of high-profile hires that helped bolster the company's credibility in the early going, like former CEO of Ferrari North America Marco Mattiacci (who left in... |
| US tariffs could hit remaining Chinese goods, including tech products Posted: 29 Oct 2018 02:22 PM PDT  The US is preparing tariffs against all Chinese imports that still remain untaxed, in the event that President Donald Trump's talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping fall through, according to Bloomberg, citing anonymous sources. These new tariffs could come as early as December and would cover all goods that aren't already affected. They would cover about $257 billion worth of goods. That spells trouble for many hardware-producing tech companies, who have so far managed to elude the worst of the tariffs. Apple, for instance, saw its AirPods, HomePod, and Apple Watch escape unscathed from the September round of tariffs. The early December due date for new tariffs would also mean that the effective date could coincide with the Lunar New Year... |
| iOS 12.1 coming October 30th with group FaceTime, dual-SIM support, and ‘beautygate’ fix Posted: 29 Oct 2018 02:19 PM PDT  Ahead of its big iPad Pro and Mac event, Apple just announced that iOS 12.1 will be released tomorrow. It's the first significant update to iOS 12 and includes the Group FaceTime feature that was removed from the initial release. Group FaceTime allows you to video chat with up to 32 people simultaneously and supports stickers, video filters, and Animoji/Memoji. The feature was held back from iOS 12.0, but apparently it's now ready to go. The video bubble for each person gets larger whenever they speak on the call. iOS 12.1 also adds dual-SIM support for iPhone XS and XR, so you'll be able to have two lines running on the same phone. One line will use your physical SIM card, with the other working through eSIM technology. (Apple put up a... |
| James Cameron’s Avatar sequels have finally moved on from Papyrus Posted: 29 Oct 2018 02:13 PM PDT  There are many things that James Cameron's Avatar movies have been made fun of for over the years: the hackneyed plot that borrows heavily from FernGully, the tedious White Savior trope, the magic trees, the improbably oversized knife that features prominently in the film's final battle. But none of them have perhaps seen the same level of ridicule as the movie's logo, infamously done in the internet's second-most hated font, Papyrus. The inexplicable design choice was most famously parodied in a Saturday Night Live sketch where Ryan Gosling obsesses over it, eventually confronting a fictional version of the film's graphic designer and screaming in the rain. But it appears that things are going to be different in Cameron's four l... |
| TanaCon organizer Good Times Entertainment files for bankruptcy Posted: 29 Oct 2018 01:02 PM PDT  Michael Weist, the CEO of Good Times Entertainment, just can't escape TanaCon. In a press release today, Weist says that he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on October 17th, noting that Good Times Entertainment will be dissolved within the next 60 days. His lawyer, Stephen Lefkovitz, tells The Verge that Weist filed for bankruptcy independently through Tennessee's bankruptcy courts. A bankruptcy trustee has been appointed to Weist's case, according to Lefkovitz. This isn't the first time that Weist has said he's facing bankruptcy problems in light of TanaCon, a disastrous festival set up by YouTube creator Tana Mongeau scheduled to run opposite VidCon in Anaheim, California, this past summer. Despite those claims, however, Lefkovitz... |
| Volkswagen, Intel, and Mobileye will launch a self-driving taxi service in Israel in 2019 Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:48 PM PDT  Volkswagen and Mobileye, the computer vision firm owned by Intel, announced Monday a plan to launch a commercial self-driving ride-hailing service in Israel in 2019. It's an aggressive move by the German automaker that could propel it to the front of the pack of companies working to commercialize autonomous driving, along with Alphabet's Waymo and GM's Cruise. As part of the deal, Volkswagen will supply a fleet of electric cars, Mobileye will handle the self-driving technology, and Champion Motors, Israel's second largest car importer and distributor, will run fleet management operations. The vehicles will be fitted with Mobileye's AV kit, "a turn-key, driverless solution comprised of hardware, driving... |
| James Patterson’s next novel will be released on Facebook Messenger Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:40 PM PDT  James Patterson is one of the biggest authors in the world. He was the first author to sell a million ebooks, while also selling more than 375 million copies of his works overall. Now, he's trying a new medium: Facebook Messenger. Tomorrow, Facebook will debut a "digital novel experience" based on his forthcoming book The Chef. The Chef will be formally published as a hardcover novel next February, and it follows New Orleans celebrity food truck chef and police detective Caleb Rooney after he's accused of committing a murder while in the line of duty. While trying to prove his innocence, he discovers that his city is under the threat of a terrorist attack, and he has to clear his name and save New Orleans before Mardi Gras. Facebook... |
| Amazon’s budget-friendly Fire tablet lineup is even cheaper this week Posted: 29 Oct 2018 11:57 AM PDT  Amazon's kid-focused tablets have been discounted since last week, and now the sale has extended to its main lineup, including the Fire 7, Fire HD 8, and Fire HD 10. Depending on the tablet you choose, the savings range from $10 to $30 off until November 3rd. That's not bad for options that already fall well below or near the $100 price point. If you're a bit confused about which tablet is best for you, it really comes down to cost, size, and screen resolution. All of them include expandable storage via their microSD slot, so storage capacity shouldn't necessarily dictate which one you buy, unless you foresee using it up all at once. At these prices, each one comes with Amazon's lock screen ads, which help to drive down the cost, though... |
| Pixel 3 XL glitch is causing a second notch to appear, but a fix is coming Posted: 29 Oct 2018 11:46 AM PDT  Well, this is an odd software glitch. Certain Pixel 3 XL units are displaying a second, virtual notch on the screen of the device. This is completely unrelated to the real, physical notch on the screen which houses both front-facing cameras, as well as sensors. The glitch is already being addressed by Google and will be fixed via an upcoming software update. Several users testing the Pixel 3 XL have come across this issue, including myself. The issue on my unit has been temporary, and reverted back to the correct format after restarting the phone, as others seem to have experienced. UrAvgConsumer came across the second mystery notch, as did a number of Reddit users, as well as a number of other people on Twitter.

| Google is hosting a global contest to develop AI that’s beneficial for humanity Posted: 29 Oct 2018 11:02 AM PDT  Some of the biggest hurdles in the field of artificial intelligence are preventing such software from developing the same intrinsic faults and biases as its human creators, and using AI to solve social issues instead of simply automating tasks. Now, Google, one of the world's leading organizations developing AI software today, is launching a global competition to help spur the development of applications and research that have positive impacts on the field and society at large. The competition, called the AI Impact Challenge, was announced today at an event called AI for Social Good held at the company's Sunnyvale, California office, and it's being overseen and managed by the company's Google.org charitable arm. Google is positioning it... |
