| Faraday Future says its main investor is ‘deliberately starving’ it into bankruptcy Posted: 08 Nov 2018 07:17 PM PST  California EV startup Faraday Future is arguing there's hope of moving forward without its main financial backer, Chinese real estate conglomerate Evergrande, according to a new court filing in California. The clock is ticking, though, because Faraday Future is in fact on the brink of insolvency, just as co-founder Nick Sampson recently said in his resignation letter. The company laid off hundreds of employees, and furloughed hundreds more; multiple executives have resigned. The Verge has learned that the startup has enough funds to pay the remaining 600 or so employees a reduced salary through November 30th, which one of the company's remaining executives told employees at recent all-hands meeting. If new funding doesn't come in, the... |
| Fossil Sport Smartwatch debuts with new Wear 3100 chip and Wear OS Posted: 08 Nov 2018 06:03 PM PST  Fossil has announced its first smartwatch with a Snapdragon 3100 chip and Google's redesigned Wear OS. The wearable, called the Sport Smartwatch, comes in six different colors — gray, pink, red, blue, green, and black — in both 41mm and 43mm sizes. There's also a wide range of silicone straps (28 in total) that are interchangeable and water-resistant. Fossil is emphasizing the Sport Smartwatch's ambient mode, integrated heart rate sensor, 350mAh battery (with promised all-day battery life), as well as NFC and GPS capabilities, which are all supposed to be improved from the watch's last generation — though there are few details right now about how they've changed. The watch also includes Spotify and Noonlight, an emergency services app,... |
| Amazon told employees it would continue to sell facial recognition software to law enforcement Posted: 08 Nov 2018 04:07 PM PST  Amazon has come under fire of late for the licensing of its controversial Rekognition system, a powerful piece of facial recognition software, to government and law enforcement agencies, with the most recent development involving revelations that Amazon met with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the summer to strike a deal for Rekognition use. Now, Amazon employees are grilling the company's leadership over the selling of such technology, especially when it could be used to track human beings and send them back into potentially dangerous environments overseas. Amazon Web Services CEO Andrew Jassy told employees at an all-hands meeting today that, "We feel really great and really strongly about the value that Amazon... |
| The White House used a doctored video to tell a lie Posted: 08 Nov 2018 03:49 PM PST  Yesterday, in Donald Trump's first press conference following the midterm elections that swept a number of Democrats into Congress Tuesday night, CNN correspondent Jim Acosta had a contentious interaction with the president. Those few seconds have, in the intervening 24 hours, launched a nationwide conversation about doctored video. "They're hundreds and hundreds of miles away. That's not an invasion," Acosta said, referring to the "caravan" of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. that Trump had demonized in the run-up to the elections. "I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN. If you did it well, your ratings would be much better," Trump replied. As Acosta tried to ask another question, a White House intern went to grab... |
| Disney announces a second live-action Star Wars show Posted: 08 Nov 2018 02:55 PM PST  Disney announced today that it is developing a second live-action Star Wars show for its upcoming, newly named streaming video platform, Disney+, with actor Diego Luna reprising the role of Rebel Alliance spy Cassian Andor. Andor was a pivotal character in the 2016 standalone Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. He played one of the Rebel Alliance spies who helped transmit the plans for the Death Star to his compatriots before perishing on the planet Scarif, setting up the events of A New Hope. In the announcement, Luna noted that he's looking forward to reprising the character, and that "this new exciting format will give us a chance to explore this character more deeply." Disney also confirmed that it's developing a series based on Loki... |
| Disney’s long-awaited streaming service will be called Disney+ Posted: 08 Nov 2018 02:35 PM PST  Disney has announced the name for its upcoming streaming service: Disney+, scheduled to launch in the US in "late 2019." Along with the new branding, the company has also announced two more major shows that will be hitting the service. A second Star Wars spin-off will see Diego Luna reprise his role as Cassian Andor, set before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Disney confirmed the previously rumored Loki series that will see fan-favorite Tom Hiddleston star once again as the iconic Marvel villain. Those shows will join already announced projects like Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian, as well as shows based on Monsters Inc. and High School Musical. Today's news only further cements what we already knew: Disney is going to be leveraging hard... |
| Sling TV growth slows dramatically amid HBO standoff and greater competition Posted: 08 Nov 2018 02:08 PM PST  The cheapest of the major internet TV streaming services, Sling TV isn't drawing new subscribers quite like it used to. Yesterday, parent company Dish said Sling TV picked up only 26,000 new subscribers in the third quarter of 2018 and acknowledged that the service had drawn "fewer" customers compared to its performance over the few quarters prior. (Sling TV reported 41,000 new subscribers in Q2 and 91,000 in Q1.) In the year-ago quarter, subscriber gains were 240,000. One possible reason for the sluggish growth is pretty simple: price. Back in June, Sling TV raised the price of its base Orange subscription from $19.99 to $25. Five bucks might not seem like much, but it matters to customers who have taken to these streaming TV services... |
| Walt Mossberg reacts to the new MacBook Air on The Vergecast Posted: 08 Nov 2018 01:37 PM PST  Another review week! Hosts of The Vergecast Nilay Patel and Dieter Bohn reviewed Apple's new iPad Pro and MacBook Air, and discuss their take on this week's show. In addition, we call up our friend and former Verge executive editor Walt Mossberg — who has been a big proponent of the last iteration of the MacBook — to give us his first impressions of the new laptop. There's a whole lot more talk in between all of that — like Paul's segment he does every week "#donglewut?" and Liz Lopatto's "This Week in Elon" — so listen to it all to get it all. 02:36 - iPad Pro 2018 review 33:30 - MacBook Air 2018 review 38:45 - Walt Mossberg joins the show! 1:00:05 - This week in Elon Musk with Liz Lopatto 1:05:15 - Paul's weekly segment "#... |
| Harley-Davidson debuts its first electric motorcycle, coming 2019 Posted: 08 Nov 2018 01:35 PM PST  After toying with the idea for the better part of four years, Harley-Davidson this week showed off its first electric motorcycle at the Milan Motorcycle Show. The electric bike drops in 2019, but the company is holding back on to all the important specs about speed, range, and charging for now. The bike will carry the same "LiveWire" name used when it was still a prototype, but it otherwise looks like a much more complete design and, frankly, a refreshing new vision for what a Harley-Davidson motorcycle should look like in 2019. The company could use some help, too. While the motorcycle industry as a whole has struggled since the 2008 financial crisis, Harley-Davidson in particular has suffered a number of losses and layoffs. It has also... |
| Google confirms dark mode is a huge help for battery life on Android Posted: 08 Nov 2018 01:22 PM PST  We've known for a long time that dark mode / night mode apps can prolong battery life on smartphones with OLED screens. It's true on Android, and it's true with the iPhone. This is because the individual pixels have to do less work on dark areas of the screen, and they use practically no juice at all when displaying true black. As SlashGear picked up on, Google reiterated this during its Android Dev Summit this week, showing several slides that compare the power draw of several different colors. (The company used its original Pixel smartphone for these data points.) You can see that white far and away uses up the most power. This led Google to acknowledge that the prominence of white across its own apps and within... |
