| Jon Favreau’s live-action Star Wars show will be called The Mandalorian Posted: 03 Oct 2018 05:20 PM PDT  Jon Favreau's live-action Star Wars TV show for Disney's streaming service finally has a name and a plot: The Mandalorian. In a post to his official Facebook and Instagram pages, Favreau posted a brief synopsis that offers a glimpse into what we might expect for the show, which will follow a Mandalorian gunslinger in the years following Return of the Jedi. There have been rumors in recent weeks that the show would be about the warrior culture exemplified by bounty hunters like Jango and Boba Fett. Favreau's synopsis confirms that the show will follow one such renegade — but not, it seems Boba Fett. |
| Fewer people died in car crashes in 2017, but the outlook is still grim Posted: 03 Oct 2018 03:40 PM PDT  The annual report on deadly motor vehicle crashes in the US is usually a pretty depressing read. The last couple years have been especially morbid, with traffic deaths rising at an alarming rate year-over-year. And even though the latest report, released Wednesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, contained a few slivers of optimism — slightly fewer people were killed in 2017 compared to the year prior — there were still enough startling statistics to make the overall picture of public roads in America exceedingly grim. There were 37,133 people killed in car crashes in 2017, a 1.8 percent decrease from last year's total. This is notable considering total deaths were up 6.5 percent in 2016, and an alarming 8.4... |
| Amazon eliminates monthly bonuses and stock grants after minimum wage increase Posted: 03 Oct 2018 03:15 PM PDT  Amazon garnered praise for raising the minimum wage for its hourly workers to $15 yesterday, but the widely-publicized move also came at the expense of monthly bonuses and stock options. The company explained its decision to shift to a new stock purchase program in the announcement blog post yesterday, citing that hourly employees preferred the "predictability and immediacy of cash to RSUs," or restricted stock units, but the post doesn't mention the loss of monthly incentives, which Bloomberg reported earlier today. Several Amazon warehouse employees have criticized the move, stating they would actually be losing thousands in incentive pay. Currently, warehouse workers get two shares of Amazon stock when they're hired ($1,952.76 per... |
| Broadband industry groups sue California over net neutrality bill Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:28 PM PDT  Four lobbying groups representing some of the largest telecom companies in the country filed a lawsuit Wednesday opposing California's net neutrality law in an attempt to stop it from going into effect next year. The four industry groups filing the lawsuit were USTelecom, CTIA, NCTA, and the ACA —groups which represent telecom corporations like AT&T; Verizon Wireless; Charter Communications; and Comcast, and mobile companies like T-Mobile. This is the second lawsuit filed following the passage of California's net neutrality law on Sunday. The first was fired off by the Department of Justice only hours after the bill received its final signature from Governor Jerry Brown. Both lawsuits make similar claims that the California law is... |
| LG announces V40 ThinQ with versatile five-camera setup and 6.4-inch OLED screen Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:00 PM PDT  LG's new V40 ThinQ smartphone has just been announced... again. The company previously confirmed that the V40 — let's just ignore the ThinQ part starting now — would have three rear cameras and a 6.4-inch display. Today the full list of features is official, and the end result is LG's best attempt to compete against the Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone XS Max. Big OLED screen? Check. Powerful specs? Yep. The V40 also retains LG's signature hi-fi Quad DAC and brings over the "boombox" speaker that debuted with the G7 earlier this year. But like its top-end rivals, the V40 has a very premium price and will range between $900 and $980 from US carriers when it's released on October 18th in black or blue color options. Verizon: $980 |
| Garmin’s Fenix 5 Plus can now save your favorite Spotify songs offline Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:00 PM PDT  Garmin has announced it is integrating Spotify into its Fenix 5 Plus series of watches. The new integration will allow users with the watch and a Spotify Premium account to download and listen to music offline. The Fenix 5 Plus is Garmin's most popular watch, but previous to this integration, you could only control the music on your phone from the watch. Now if you have a Spotify Premium account, you can sync playlists to the Fenix 5 Plus via Wi-Fi and then access the playlists through the watch's Spotify app. The Spotify app is available now for Garmin customers with a Fenix 5 Plus watch in the Connect IQ store. |

| LG’s Watch W7 is a $450 hybrid Wear OS smartwatch with mechanical hands Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:00 PM PDT  Alongside the V40 ThinQ, LG is also announcing its latest smartwatch today. The Watch W7 is easily the company's most unique wearable yet because of its hybrid design. The W7 has mechanical hands in front of its round, 1.2-inch touch display running Wear OS. It will sell for $450 at Best Buy beginning on October 14th; preorders will be available on October 7th. The W7 is big. This is not a timepiece for folks with small wrists. Since mechanical watches are a little outside its wheelhouse, LG worked with a company called Soprod in designing the watch's mechanical functions and movements. "In addition to keeping accurate time, the mechanical hands also display additional information such as altimeter, barometer, stopwatch, timer and... |
| Samsung’s 85-inch 8K TV will go on sale for $15,000 Posted: 03 Oct 2018 01:37 PM PDT  Samsung announced its first QLED 8K TV back in August, and now the 85-inch Q900R smart TV is available for preorder for $15,000. There's no word yet on whether the 65-inch, 75-inch, and 82-inch sizes will be available for preorder, but the 85-inch TV will be shipping on October 28th — just in time to set up an immersive haunted house and to give your wallet a good scare. Samsung claims that the TV's "8K AI Upscaling" feature uses its Quantum Processor 8K to remaster "today's content into stunning 8K for improved details and sharpened definition." "Today's content" looks just fine to me so far in 4K — and there's basically no 8K content to watch yet — so this kind of feels like a feature no one knows if they need yet. Like all of... |
| MoviePass subscribers aren’t going to the movies, and that’s what MoviePass wants Posted: 03 Oct 2018 01:28 PM PDT  MoviePass subscribers have had a tough go of it over the last six months, with the service changing terms, dropping unlimited moviegoing, limiting access to first-run movies, and in at least once instance, going offline completely because it ran out of money. The myriad changes have removed most of the incentives that made MoviePass a compelling value in the first place, so customers have been using it less and less — and according to the head of MoviePass' parent company, that's exactly what the owners want. "People are going to less than one movie a month," Helios and Matheson CEO Ted Farnsworth said on Tuesday during a chat at The Wrap's entertainment industry conference, TheGrill. "So technically, subscription alone right now is... |
