LG’s rollable TV will reportedly be an actual product in 2019

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 07:55 PM PST

The LG Display rollable TV prototype from CES 2018 is set to go on sale as a consumer product next year, according to a source that spoke to Bloomberg. The 65-inch OLED panels are able to retract into a base when not in use, or can hide part of the screen so that content shot in wider aspect ratios can be viewed without letterboxing.

Bloomberg also says that LG is likely to unveil its first 5G phone at Mobile World Congress in February, although that's not too much of a surprise — Sprint and LG have already announced plans to release a 5G device in the first half of the year.

Last month Engadget reported that it had seen internal documents indicating that LG would be displaying full-on rollable TVs at CES 2019, rather than the...

Razer teases first Xbox One mouse and keyboard

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 02:35 PM PST

The Xbox One's first official wireless mouse and keyboard are in the works, and Razer is clearly teasing what the two products will look like — and when we'll get to learn more.

The full reveal image was actually released late last month, but it seems to have mostly flown under the radar. Now the company is prominently advertising the pair as it promotes their announcement, which coincide with the first day of CES: January 8th.

We've known for half a year that Razer had partnered with Microsoft on mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One, and it could have major implications for future titles. Xbox One players have been asking for mouse and keyboard support for a long time — the console was released in November 2013, and the feature only...

Sphero discontinues its BB-8, R2-D2, and other licensed Disney products

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 02:11 PM PST

Sphero's hinted that it's getting out of the licensed product game, but today CEO Paul Berberian confirmed to The Verge that the company is clearing out its remaining licensed inventory and won't be restocking the supply. That means the company won't be producing any more BB-8s, R2-D2s, Lightning McQueen cars, or talking Spider-Mans. The listings for all the toys list them as "legacy products" that are no longer in production. App support will continue for "at least two years, if not longer," Berberian says.

The Disney partnership lasted three years, but ultimately, the licensed toy business required more resources than it was worth, Berberian tells The Verge. These toys sold well when released with a movie, but interest waned over time...

Hyundai’s Kona EV has great range and costs as much as the average car

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 01:46 PM PST

Hyundai announced late last week that the Kona Electric, the company's second fully electric vehicle, will start at $36,450 in the US when it goes on sale in early 2019 — basically dead even with the current average sale price of a new car in the United States, according to Kelley Blue Book.

On one hand, that's amazing. It's a sign that automakers are now able to ship what is still pretty radical new technology — an entirely electric drivetrain — at a cost that's on par with the auto industry's most typical purchase price. And with 258 miles on a full charge, the Kona Electric is no slouch on range, which is one of the most important deciding factors when it comes to convincing people to switch to electric cars in these early days.

But...

Teens are turning away from cigarettes and alcohol and toward vaping

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 12:16 PM PST

Teens are better-behaved than ever when it comes to alcohol and drugs, but seem to have turned to vaping as their vice of choice, according to results from a nationally representative survey of adolescent drug use.

First, the good news. Teen smoking is still at the lowest point since the Monitoring the Future survey began 44 years ago. Only 3.6 percent of high schoolers are smoking daily, down from more than 22 percent a couple decades ago. Binge drinking is down, adolescents are using drugs like cocaine and MDMA at historically low levels, and, despite the ongoing opioid epidemic, less than 1 percent of high school seniors use heroin. Plus, the percentage of seniors using prescription opioids dropped to 3.4 percent from 4.2 percent a...

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse directors on the film’s gorgeous style

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 11:23 AM PST

The second half of 2018 was an eventful few months for animation. This summer, Cartoon Network and HowStuffWorks released Drawn, a miniseries dedicated to cartoon history; meanwhile, as expected, The Incredibles 2 broke records at the box office. Fall yielded Netflix's The Dragon Prince, a new series from the head writer of the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender, as well as news that the head writer of Rick and Morty would be developing a new Star Trek animated series in conjunction with Discovery producer Alex Kurtzman's five-year CBS deal. Major projects like Noelle Stevenson's She-Ra: Princess of Power reboot for Netflix and Disney's internet-inspired Wreck-It Ralph sequel rounded out the year.

But even with all this going on, the...

T-Mobile now supports eSIM for iOS

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 11:12 AM PST

T-Mobile is now supporting eSIMs on Apple's latest iPhones, letting them use two different phone numbers on one device, which is ideal for traveling abroad or balancing work and personal numbers.

You'll have to install a new T-Mobile app in order to use the carrier on the eSIM inside the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Once you're set up, you can select from one of three available plans:

  • T-Mobile ONE Prepaid with unlimited voice, text, and data for $70 for 30 days
  • Simply Prepaid with unlimited voice, text, and 10GB of LTE data for $40 for 30 days
  • Tourist Plan with 1,000 minutes of voice, unlimited text, and 2GB of LTE data for $30 for 21 days

The company says the service is designed for international visitors, although...

Google halted Chinese data collection program after Dragonfly backlash

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 10:59 AM PST

Google has halted a data collection project in China and struck a major blow to the controversial Dragonfly project, according to a new report from The Intercept. According to the report, Google is still researching Chinese web searches in an effort to launch a search engine that complies with the country's censorship regime, although an official launch seems to have been indefinitely postponed. But in the face of widespread opposition within the company, Google executives shuttered one of the project's most central data sources, making the ongoing work far more difficult.

In August, The Intercept reported that Google had set up a dummy search engine at 265.com as a way of researching the Chinese market. Any queries made through 265...

How to set up eSIM on the Apple iPhone XR and XS

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 10:51 AM PST

Sometimes a single phone number isn't enough — if you need to go abroad, for example, or need separate business and personal numbers, two is definitely better than one. Until recently, unless your phone could accommodate two SIMs, you were out of luck. However, Apple has now made it possible for owners of an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max to add a second line of service by using an eSIM (or digital SIM), bypassing the need for a physical SIM card.

This will let you easily add a local carrier if you travel internationally. You can even have two different plans on the same phone — say, one for voice and messages and one for data. Three major vendors currently offer eSIM capabilities: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

If you want to add...

PewDiePie fans hack the Wall Street Journal

Posted: 17 Dec 2018 10:05 AM PST

PewDiePie

PewDiePie fans hacked the Wall Street Journal earlier today, claiming to offer an apology on behalf of the paper in an apparent attempt to get back at one of the YouTube creator's longstanding opponents.

A sponsored post on the Journal's affiliated site was edited to say that the publication would "like to apologize to pewdiepie" and that he had been "misrepresented" by the paper's journalists. The hacked note also said that the Journal would be sponsoring PewDiePie in an attempt to beat a rival channel in a race over subscribers.

A Wall Street Journal representative told The Verge they're aware of the issue and have launched a full investigation. "The page was owned by WSJ. Custom Solutions, a unit of the advertising arm, which is not...
