| Nintendo is shutting down streaming video for the Wii in January 2019 Posted: 11 Nov 2018 01:41 PM PST  You soon won't be able to watch Stranger Things on your Nintendo Wii. Netflix emailed users saying that Nintendo will be shutting down all video streaming services for the console after January 31st, 2019. Netflix's notification indicated that Nintendo will suspend all streaming services for the device, and that presumably means that Amazon Prime and Hulu also won't be able to be used on the console. It makes a bit of sense, given the age of the device — the Wii was sold between 2005 and 2011, before streaming video really took off with consumers, and before services like Hulu and Amazon Prime were launched. The closure comes in conjunction with Nintendo's announcement that it would be closing down the Wii Shop Channel, its portal to... |
| We’re charmed by these tech products, reimagined for a simpler time Posted: 11 Nov 2018 12:00 PM PST  I'm a millennial, so of course I miss the mid-2000s and 1990s out of nostalgia. VHS tapes! Remember those! A freelance art and creative director named Tom Le French seemingly likes thinking about earlier days, too. He published a few images of what he imagines modern tech companies would have released decades ago. Facebook could have created its own pager, while Instagram would have a branded camera, for instance. There's something charming about these mega-corportations' names on a simpler product. No algorithms, no politics — just a gadget that does a simple task well. If nothing else, they're also pretty to admire. Enjoy these images and think of more relaxing times. You can check out the full collection on Le French's website here. ... |

| Supreme and Chris Cunningham have released an Aphex Twin-inspired collection Posted: 11 Nov 2018 11:00 AM PST  Visual artist Chris Cunningham has collaborated with New York clothing and accessory brand Supreme for a capsule collection based upon "Rubber Johnny," the iconic and unsettling video he created with Aphex Twin in 2005. Cunningham is probably best known for video work with electronic artist Aphex Twin — which also includes the music videos for "Windowlicker" and "Come to Daddy" — but has also worked with artists and brands like Madonna, Björk, PlayStation, and Gucci to create art installations, short videos, ads, and more. The collection includes a hooded sweatshirt with a still of the "Rubber Johnny" Chihuahua, a T-shirt with a still of the Chihuahua, and a second T-shirt with six panes of various stills from the video. All the items... |
| Teaching robots body language offers common ground for humans and machines Posted: 11 Nov 2018 10:00 AM PST  Anyone who's been up close and personal with an industrial robot will tell you that these machines have an uncanny, almost unsettling presence. Rationally you know that they're programmed automatons, but when they start moving — huge metal arms swishing through the air with inhuman precision and speed — some primeval part of your brain lights up like a switchboard and calls start pouring in. "Danger, danger!" they say. "You need to get the fuck away from this predator now." Madeline Gannon is someone who delights in this discrepancy. She's an artist, coder, and designer who, for the past few years, has been exploring how humans relate to robots; programming machines that react to our presence and that use mechanical body language of... |
| League of Legends’ virtual K-pop band is helping the game attract a whole new audience Posted: 11 Nov 2018 09:00 AM PST  This week, Riot Games tapped into three things the internet loves: K-pop bands, women kicking ass, and augmented reality. The K/DA music video for "POP/STARS" reimagines four of the murderous champions of League of Legends as internationally acclaimed artists back with their latest single. In addition to releasing a music video, Riot also brought the virtual band onstage using AR. They performed next to the actual singers at the 2018 Worlds Finals opening ceremony, the conclusion to an annual month-long battle between e-sports teams hailing from the US, Europe, and Asia. The band started as Riot's way of building hype for Worlds and getting players to buy in-game cosmetics for the four champions, Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai'Sa. But it... |
| eBay will now let you book home installation and assembly services Posted: 11 Nov 2018 08:30 AM PST  eBay has partnered with three companies to allow customers to book home installation or assembly services for items like televisions, furniture, bikes, and other things that need to be put together, right from the product page. Various product pages for applicable items now list an option for customers to select assembly and installation services from one of three companies: Handy, InstallerNet, and Porch. The feature allows them to add the services to the purchase, much like you would add on a protection plan. Once you've completed your purchase of your item and the services, the applicable company will get in touch to set up an appointment. In a statement to TechCrunch, eBay Vice President of Merchandising Alyssa Steele says that the... |
| Resynth turns making music into a puzzle game Posted: 11 Nov 2018 08:00 AM PST  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. At first blush, Resynth doesn't make a lot of sense. Looking at screenshots or GIFs reveals a strange array of squares, some seemingly marked by Xs, arrows, or different colors. But once you see — and hear — the game in motion, it starts to make sense. Resynth is designed to look like a music sequencer, and solving the game's puzzles is akin to making music. At its core, Resynth is a push block-style game, a type of logic puzzle that appears frequently in the Professor Layton series and other adventure games. In them, you... |
| I want to buy this YA trilogy about gene-hacking for every teen I know Posted: 11 Nov 2018 07:00 AM PST  Young adult science fiction can be hit or miss. Each genre tag is a challenge by itself; with science fiction, unless you're already a scientist, you have to be able to speak the technical language to be taken seriously. With YA, the task is the same, just inverted — if your characters are young, you must inhabit the headspace of a teenager without coming off as an Tryhard Old™. YA sci-fi, then, is akin to walking a razor's edge authority-wise: be brilliant and naïve simultaneously, or risk losing your audience from the jump. Portland-based author Emily Suvada walks this line better than any YA author I've read with her in-progress trilogy, the second book of which, This Cruel Design, was published last month. Along with its predecessor,... |
