Watch the very first trailer for Disney’s The Lion King remake

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 02:53 PM PST

Disney's remake of the 1994 classic The Lion King just got its very first trailer, in the form of a quick minute and a half teaser aired during the NFL's traditional Thanksgiving primetime game.

The film, produced by Walt Disney Pictures and helmed by Iron Man director Jon Favreau, is a photorealistic, computer animated movie featuring a staggering number of high-profile voice actors, including Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, and James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa. Hans Zimmer is also returning to score the film, while Elton John is coming back to rework some of his original compositions.

In the trailer, we can see what look like the opening moments of the movie, in which Rafiki presents a young Simba to the animals...

Siri thinks Donald Trump is a penis

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 01:25 PM PST

I'm not even American, but I just spat out a turkey dinner. Apple's Siri digital assistant thinks that President Donald Trump is a penis. If you use an iPhone to ask Siri how old Donald Trump is, you'll be greeted with a picture of a penis instead of a photo of the President. At the time of writing, the penis picture keeps coming and going. Presumably, someone is editing the Wikipedia page associated with Donald Trump, or gaming the algorithm that Siri uses to source images.

Either way, it's an odd bug that has created various incorrect answers in the past. The most memorable Siri fail was when it erroneously thought the Bulgarian national anthem was Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," before Apple quickly fixed the result....

The 2020 Range Rover Evoque has an optional hybrid rear view mirror

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 12:00 PM PST

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has just announced the newest version of the Range Rover Evoque, the company's stout little SUV first unveiled in 2010. For the most part, the new 2020 Evoque features the kinds of upgrades you'd expect from a yearly refresh. But one new optional feature sticks out: the rear view mirror, which doubles as a screen for a backup camera.

The "ClearSight Rear View Mirror," as JLR calls it, changes at the flip of a switch between an actual rear view mirror to an HD display that shows off an unobstructed 50-degree view of what's behind the car:

Car companies have increasingly toyed with the idea of augmenting (or in some cases, replacing) mirrors with cameras and screens. In this case, JLR has taken what...

How Walmart is trying to reinvent in-store shopping to win Black Friday

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 11:14 AM PST

Although we may be doing an increasing amount of shopping online, a vast majority of retail still occurs in the real world — and no event better emphasizes that fact than Black Friday, the annual holiday shopping extravaganza that consumes US retailers every Thanksgiving. Last year, Black Friday generated nearly $8 billion in sales, according to Adobe Analytics. It remains the best time of the year to get discounts on expensive electronics like 4K TVs, video game consoles, and laptops, while scores of new gadget categories like smart speakers and streaming set-top boxes have prices slashed in the hopes they get scooped up as holiday gifts.

Yet with so many deals moving online as retailers blur the lines between Black Friday and Cyber...

How an Instagram conversation led to a firestorm in China

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 11:05 AM PST

Racist Instagram exchanges have gone viral in China, despite the platform being blocked. A Dolce & Gabbana fashion show has been apparently canceled in China as hordes of online users accuse the brand of racism. First denounced by famous actors including Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), the brand pulled its Shanghai fashion show last night after a dozen models left, and now, online platforms like Net-A-Porter and Alibaba's Taobao have swiftly stopped carrying its wares in China.

The ire stemmed from a series of Instagram exchanges between Stefano Gabbana, one of two designers behind the fashion line, and a model, Michele Tranovo, who pointed out one of Dolce & Gabbana's ads came across as patronizingly and potentially racist....

Amazon accidentally streamed an unreleased episode of Doctor Who

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 10:07 AM PST

Amazon users who tuned into stream Doctor Who's latest episode, "Kerblam!" experienced a little more time traveling than they bargained for. Rather than airing the correct episode, Amazon Prime Video apparently skipped ahead to "The Witchfinders," an episode set to air this coming Sunday.

The mistake was spotted by io9, who also notes that the closed captions for "Kerblam!" curiously aired as part of "The Witchfinders" — surely a jarring mistake for anyone trying to make sense of why conveyor belts have anything to do with the 17th century. In a statement to io9, BBC Studios said it was aware of the error for US Amazon Prime users. "We are investigating how this happened and have taken the steps to remove it," the company said. "BBC...

USPS took a year to fix a vulnerability that exposed all 60 million users’ data

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 08:52 AM PST

The US Postal Service says it's fixed a security weakness on usps.com that let anyone see the personal account info of its users, including usernames and street addresses. The open vulnerability was reportedly identified over a year ago by an independent researcher but USPS never patched it until this week, when Krebs on Security flagged the issue.

The vulnerability included all 60 million user accounts on the website. It was caused by an authentication weakness in the site's application programming interface (API) that allowed anyone to access a USPS database offered to businesses and advertisers to track user data and packages. The API should have verified whether an account had permissions to read user data but USPS didn't have such...

The best Black Friday deals for readers

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 08:00 AM PST

With the holidays upon us and the end of the year approaching fast, it's a good time to take stock of the books you might have been meaning to read all year. Black Friday is an ideal time to add to your reading list, whether you listen to audiobooks or read eBooks or physical ones.

Most booksellers are offering up some sort of deal, no matter what your tastes. Here's what you can find online.

Amazon

Amazon, of course, has a number of Black Friday deals this holiday season, but don't forget that the site started out as a bookstore. The site is marking down some select books — some up to 60 percent off throughout the weekend.

Amazon is also marking down a number of its tablets and e-readers, if you're in the market for a new one:

The International Space Station is full of floppy disks

Posted: 22 Nov 2018 07:49 AM PST

The International Space Station is apparently in need of a garage sale. European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, currently in residence up in, well, space, discovered a treasure trove of floppy disks tucked away in one of the lockers on-board.

The ISS recently celebrated its 20th anniversary on November 20th. As spotted by CNET, Gerst tweeted a picture of his ancient tech find, adding "I found a locker on the @Space_Station that probably hasn't been opened for a while." In addition to a Norton's Utilities for Windows 95 / 98, the folder also includes a few disks labeled "Crew Personal Support Data Disk." The most likely candidates for who they refer to are former astronauts William Shepherd and Sergei Krikalev, who were notable...
