Posted: 08 Oct 2018 05:16 PM PDT

Google's Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have already leaked pretty much in their entirety, as have a vast majority of the company's other hardware announcements slated for its New York City event tomorrow. But the leakers aren't done yet. With less 24 hours to go until the event kicks off at 11AM ET, we have a round of fresh leaks that shed light on the Pixel 3's new artificial intelligence-powered camera features and give us another glimpse at the available color schemes.

From VentureBeat's Evan Blass, we now have some more photos showing off the Pixel 3 and its larger variant in all three available colors. That includes the white, black, and new pink "sand" option, which first leaked last week:

Trump aide sought to hire Israeli troll farm to win primary, NYT reports

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 04:30 PM PDT

According to a new report from The New York Times, a top Trump campaign aide sought proposals from an Israeli company that would work to build an army of fake social media profiles to sway the outcome of the 2016 election. Despite requesting these proposals, the Times could not confirm whether the campaign staff actually acted upon them.

The company, Psy-Group, would use armies of "authentic looking" sock puppet accounts to spread misinformation across social media, a tactic that has become ever more familiar following the 2016 election cycle and Russian political ad spending. Specifically, Psy-Group was able use social media to develop the profile of what a "persuadable delegate" would look like online, targeting up to 2,500 of them...

Motorola’s Moto E5 comes to the US for $100

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 03:58 PM PDT

Motorola has brought the Moto E5 to the US, after launching two variants of the phone — the E5 Plus and E5 Play — earlier this year. The E5 is the cheapest of the three models, but it actually looks the most modern from the outside. It has an 18:9 display with somewhat trimmed down bezels on the front, a relatively slim profile, and a fingerprint sensor on the back. It's selling for just $100, and you don't always check all those boxes at that low price point.

Of course, as a $100 phone, there are some tradeoffs on the specs. You get a big 5.7-inch display, but at a resolution close to 720p — low for that large of a size. It doesn't have a water-repellant coating, like the other E5 models, and it lacks support for 5GHz Wi-Fi networks,...

Netflix buys up New Mexico studio facility for massive new production hub

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:50 PM PDT

When Netflix moved into its new Los Angeles headquarters last year, the company made sure it had several sound stages at the ready for any production needs. Now the streaming service is taking things a step further, acquiring ABQ Studios in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as part of a plan to bring as much as $1 billion in production to the state over the next 10 years.

Los Angeles is often thought of as a center for film and television production, but studios and production companies have been regularly traveling to other locations to shoot for years. States like New Mexico (Breaking Bad, Netflix's Godless) and Georgia (The Walking Dead, Avengers: Infinity War) can provide a more attractive environment because they're not only less crowded...

The first electric Vespa costs more than $7,000

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:39 PM PDT

Two years after it was announced, the first all-electric Vespa scooter is about to go on sale in Europe, and parent company Piaggio has finally shared the starting price: €6,390, or a little over $7,300. That's nearly twice as expensive as some of the cheapest gas-powered Vespas. Preorders are available now in Europe ahead of the scooter's ship date later this year, while customers in the US and China will have to wait until early 2019.

The Vespa Elettrica, as it's called, has about 62 miles of range, takes about four hours to fully charge from a standard wall outlet, and the battery pack should last for about 10 years' worth of riding. It offers peak power of 4kW, or about 5.2 horsepower, which is roughly the same as a 50cc scooter...

Asus announces midrange Chromebook with 14-inch touchscreen

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:33 PM PDT

Asus quietly announced a new 14-inch Chromebook today, the C423. There's no pricing information yet, but it's a midrange Chromebook that comes in two variations: a non-touchscreen one that's powered by an Intel Celeron processor, and one with a 1080p touchscreen display that's powered by a Pentium N4200.

The company claims this model is the first of its Chromebooks to feature a "NanoEdge design," which means it's got some pretty thin 5.8mm bezels. The 180-degree hinge lets the Chromebook lay flat, and it's been "subjected to a grueling 20,000-cycle open-and-close test to ensure long-term reliability," the marketing materials say.

The battery should last around 10 hours, and the device thankfully charges through a USB-C port. The C423...

Apple seeks deal with UK telecom to sell Apple TVs, says report

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 12:26 PM PDT

Apple is attempting to expand the reach of its Apple TV, according to a report today from The Telegraph. The US company is reportedly in talks with UK telecom provider BT and its mobile offshoot EE to give customers the option to purchase an Apple TV that comes pre-loaded with BT's pay-TV channel apps. The company is said to be looking at EE because of its younger user demographic. This partnership would obviously benefit both companies — Apple gets access to more hardware customers and BT can directly appeal to that same group.

Reports that Apple is trying to launch its own streaming service have circulated for a long time. The company has ordered multiple shows that have seemingly nowhere to air. It signed a multiyear agreement with...

Google’s Project Stream is a working preview of the future of game streaming

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 12:23 PM PDT

I've been playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey on a computer the past few days, sailing through the waters of the Peloponnesian War, except I haven't downloaded the game to a gaming PC. Instead, I've been playing on a Chromebook Pixel, using the Project Stream invite-only beta — and it works better than I ever expected.

Project Stream is Google's first attempt at streaming video games over the internet using the Chrome browser. Google has been rolling out invites to Project Stream this past weekend, and luckily, I found an invite in my personal inbox and got started playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, so far the only game being tested.

Project Stream is straightforward and doesn't...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is offline after a steering component failed

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 12:17 PM PDT

<em>NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, as seen from Space Shuttle Discovery</em>

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, famous for its brilliant pictures of the cosmos, is having some trouble in orbit around Earth. On Friday, an important mechanism on the spacecraft failed — one that is needed to re-orient the observatory in space and keep it pointed at parts of the sky for long periods of time. Now, Hubble is in a safe mode while engineers try to address the problem.

The broken mechanism on Hubble is a gyroscope, or a gyro. It's a device the many spacecraft use to change their orientation in space. Gyros are essentially wheels inside the vehicle that spin, shifting the position of the spacecraft. It's a key tool that Hubble uses to change its direction and look at different spots of the Universe, in order to observe...

Doctor Who is off to a bold new start to kick off Jodie Whittaker’s era as the Thirteenth Doctor

Posted: 08 Oct 2018 11:28 AM PDT

"All of this is new to you, and new can be scary," remarks Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor early in her debut episode, "The Woman Who Fell To Earth," which kicks off the eleventh (or 37th, depending on how you count) season of the long-running sci-fi show.

And she's right: change can be scary. But in the case of the Thirteenth, it's mostly just a whole lot of fun, with Whittaker kicking off her tenure as the time-traveling, face-changing alien hero with flair and grace.

Some spoilers for Doctor Who's season 11 premiere below:

"The Woman Who Fell To Earth" starts off slow, introducing viewers to the Thirteenth Doctor's three traveling companions — Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Graham (Bradley Walsh) — before Thirteen makes...
