| Samsung upgrades the Notebook 9 Pen with a new 15-inch option Posted: 12 Dec 2018 06:00 PM PST  CES may not be for another few weeks, but Samsung is already getting the ball rolling on new products, starting with an updated version of the Notebook 9 Pen laptop — which now comes in a new, 15-inch size, in addition to the old 13-inch form factor. Previously, only the regular Notebook 9 model offered the larger size, but now it's coming to the convertible 2-in-1 model, too. One of the big new features on the updated Notebook 9 Pen is an improved S Pen. Just like its smartphone cousin, the Note 9, the new S Pen for the Notebook 9 Pen now offers improved latency (Samsung says its up to two times faster). Samsung also now offers multiple user replaceable tips for the S Pen, allowing you to customize different drawing styles. (There's... |
| How Congress missed another chance to hold big tech accountable Posted: 12 Dec 2018 03:00 PM PST  From time to time the entire technology press corps gets together on Twitter, spends several hours live-tweeting the same event, and then writes a series of blog posts about how nothing important happened. This event is known as a Congressional hearing, and today we witnessed our final one of the year. After months of polite deferrals, Sundar Pichai finally went before Congress on Tuesday, and over the course of three and a half hours, said as little as possible. The hearing before the House Judiciary Committee was defined, as had been the Facebook hearings before it, by the widespread befuddlement of our lawmakers. There was, for example, the question from Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) about why a picture of Donald Trump comes up when you... |
| Amazon just launched a mini version of its cashier-less Go store in Seattle Posted: 12 Dec 2018 02:00 PM PST  Amazon today announced the launch of a new variety of its cashier-less Go store that's much smaller than a standard one. The company is referring to it as a small-format Go store, and it's a freestanding construction with its own enclosed ceiling, which is where it places a majority of the cameras and sensors used to track shoppers and determine when an item has been taken off the shelf. Amazon says this version, located on the sixth floor of the Macy's building at 300 Pine Street in downtown Seattle, measures about 450 square feet and serves mainly pre-made breakfast, lunch, and dinner items, as well as beverages and snacks. A typical Go store is much larger, usually serving a wider variety of pre-made food, as well as household... |
| The Free Music Archive will live on Posted: 12 Dec 2018 01:23 PM PST  The Free Music Archive — a free-to-use collection of music that's shared and curated by artists — was supposed to close last month, following a funding shortage. Instead, the Archive will live on: it's been bought by the camera and gear rental marketplace KitSplit. "Many of us at KitSplit have admired and used FMA over the years," writes Kristina Budelis, a co-founder of KitSplit in an emailed statement. "FMA has helped tens of thousands of creatives make their projects. Together with FMA, we'll be able to serve creators + our community even more powerfully." And there are more overlaps between KitSplit and the FMA than just the fact that making successful productions requires both audio and video; one employee of KitSplit had... |
| NYCLU sues ICE over changes to immigrant risk assessment algorithm Posted: 12 Dec 2018 01:22 PM PST  The New York Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement over changes to the agency's Risk Classification Assessment (RCA) software, which is used when ICE detains someone for deportation proceedings. The tool provides an algorithm-based recommendation on whether an immigrant should be detained in jail until they can see a judge — or whether they can instead be released on bond in the interim. But the NYCLU claims that in 2017, ICE altered the RCA so that it overwhelmingly started to favor detention over release. It became the default, guaranteed recommendation even for people with little or no criminal history. "The program now automatically recommends that all immigrants be detained," the... |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2018 12:37 PM PST  One of the more underrated perks of the "peak TV" era is that because there's so much worth watching, no two television devotees will forge the same path through the mountains of programming. Below is a list of 20 outstanding series and miniseries that aired in 2018. These are well-crafted and entertaining shows, highly recommended and worthy of just about anyone's time. Some of the names will be familiar; some may be surprising. Taken as a whole, this list is intended to present just one way of looking at what makes TV great. But that perspective is, inevitably, limited. Here, for example, is just a partial list of shows and specials that could've easily landed in this Top 20: America to Me, Barry, Bob's Burgers, Brockmire, Brooklyn... |
| Democratic senators have introduced a big new data privacy plan Posted: 12 Dec 2018 12:32 PM PST  One day after Google CEO Sundar Pichai was questioned on data privacy during a House hearing, a group of 15 Democratic senators has proposed a new bill for protecting personal information online. The Data Care Act, proposed by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) and more than a dozen co-sponsors, including Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), would create new rules around how companies that collect user data can handle that information. Under the act, data collectors would be required to "reasonably secure" identifying information, to not use that information in a harmful way, and to give notice to consumers about breaches of sensitive information. The requirement extends to third parties, if the data collectors share or sell that data... |
| Facebook and ZeniMax settle legal battle over Oculus VR and stolen secrets Posted: 12 Dec 2018 12:25 PM PST  ZeniMax Media and Facebook today settled a long-running legal dispute over the creation of the Oculus Rift VR headset, which ZeniMax claimed was the result of stolen trade secrets (including code and research) shared by ex-ZeniMax employees who had been hired by Oculus. Among those hires was John Carmack, the well-known co-founder of id Software (which ZeniMax owns) who joined Palmer Luckey, Brendan Iribe, and the rest of the Oculus VR team in 2013 before Facebook bought the VR company for $2 billion. Variety and CNBC reported news of the settlement.
ZeniMax pursued litigation against Facebook in 2014 and at one... |
| RCS: What it is and why you might want it Posted: 12 Dec 2018 12:19 PM PST  A lot of people have become bored with SMS messaging, and the tech industry is very aware of it. While services such as Apple's iMessage, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp allow you to add photos, GIFs and videos to your messages, they are not universal solutions — for example, you can't send a WhatsApp message if your correspondent uses Facebook Messenger. The answer — or so Google and other companies are hoping — is Rich Communications Services or RCS. What is RCS?RCS is a new online protocol that was chosen for adoption by the GSM Association in 2008 and is meant to replace the current texting standard SMS (Short Message Service), which has been around since the 1990s. The GMSA represents a wide variety of organizations in the mobile... |
| Taylor Swift tracked stalkers with facial recognition tech at her concert Posted: 12 Dec 2018 12:04 PM PST  Taylor Swift held a concert at California's Rose Bowl this past May that was monitored by a facial recognition system. The system's target? Hundreds of Swift's stalkers. Swift's facial recognition system was built into a kiosk that displayed highlights of her rehearsals, which would secretly record onlookers' faces. According to Rolling Stone, which spoke with a concert security expert who observed the kiosk, attendees who looked at the kiosk were immediately scanned. Afterward, the data was sent to a "command post" in Nashville, Tennessee that attempted to match hundreds of images to a database of her known stalkers. US artists haven't previously been publicized for using facial... |
