| Netflix says over 45 million accounts watched Bird Box — here’s what that means Posted: 30 Dec 2018 01:04 PM PST  Netflix announced on December 28 that more than 45 million accounts watched its Netflix original horror movie, Bird Box, in seven days, making it a record breaking debut for the streaming service — but considering Netflix rarely specifies what its data means, it was difficult to gauge what that number meant. There are a lot of variables in Netflix's statement. 45 million accounts doesn't exactly translate to specific viewer counts, as an account could serve one person or an entire family. It's also unclear from Netflix's tweet how many people watched all of Bird Box (starring A-list actors like Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich) or even half of the movie, before switching to something else. Netflix famously doesn't make its viewership... |
| New York City cops will fly a drone over the New Year’s Eve celebration at Times Square Posted: 30 Dec 2018 12:31 PM PST  For the first time ever, a police drone will keep a watchful eye on the New Year's Eve ball drop in New York's Times Square, as first reported by the Associated Press. The New York City Police Department deployed the gadget to keep the festivities safe, in addition to the 7,000 police officers it has on deck, bomb-sniffing dogs, and 200 blocker trucks filled with sand. The quadcopter drone will be controlled remotely by trained police and will help give a bird's-eye view of the massive crowds, although it will be fairly hard for passersby to spot, given its height in the air. While the police commissioner has said that there are no known threats to the New Year's festivities, it's pretty standard protocol for the police to come out in... |
| The Verge 2018 tech report card: AR and VR Posted: 30 Dec 2018 11:30 AM PST  What standard, exactly, am I supposed to be judging virtual and augmented reality against in 2018? Should I measure it against the sci-fi aspirations that VR and AR companies set years ago and have unsurprisingly failed to meet? Should I estimate how far it remains from mainstream adoption? Or should I stick to comparing 2018 with 2017, when I gave VR a middling C grade and didn't even talk about AR? Since I just went through the trouble of listing those options, my predictable answer is "all of the above." 2018 was partly a year of disillusionment. Some prominent AR and VR companies, including Meta, Jaunt, and Starbreeze, either massively downsized or shifted their focus. As the head of CCP Games put it in October, a year after leaving... |
| Amazon is reportedly bringing Whole Foods to US suburbs with Prime Now delivery Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:45 AM PST  Amazon reportedly has plans to expand Whole Foods stores across the US into suburbs and other regions. It also wants to bring its two-hour delivery program Prime Now to all current Whole Foods stores, anonymous sources told the Wall Street Journal. The move would grow Whole Foods at a rapid pace that it hasn't seen before. Whole Foods employees have already reportedly ventured to parts of Idaho, Wyoming, and southern Utah for potential retail spaces they could set up shop in. One anonymous source told the WSJ that these spaces were sometimes around 45,000 square feet, meaning they were slightly larger than the average Whole Foods store by 2,000 square feet. The potential expansion likely isn't limited to just the Rocky Mountain region,... |
| The Verge 2018 tech report card: Gadgets Posted: 30 Dec 2018 08:30 AM PST  Big Mouth Billy Bass with Alexa isn't necessary the product of the year, but it's one that symbolizes all the novelty trends that we saw in gadgets in 2018. In one item, the talking, singing fish represents nostalgia, DIY hackery, and corporations taking independent developer ideas and turning it to profit. These themes highlight the trends that led the world of gadgets this year, as nostalgia continues to influence products while simultaneously being a reflection of our bleak times. In 2018, more classic products were re-released, we opted for gadgets that do less than before, and companies are determined to make us shop in person because experiential pop-ups are in now. This resurgence in nostalgic gadgets seems to be because... |
| Everything coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Now in January Posted: 30 Dec 2018 07:53 AM PST  With 2019 just days away, it's important to cherish the hope and optimism that comes with every new year. A fresh calendar brings a fresh start — one where anything is possible! And then, of course, after a couple of days of well-intentioned good behavior, it'll be time to drop the ceremony and resume the rhythms of the previous year and just get on with life. But what's the best way to forget that we've thrown all those noble intentions out the door? Watching streaming content, of course! Netflix is kicking things off with the third season of A Series of Unfortunate Events, the final season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and its latest series, a reboot of Carmen Sandiego. But while the focus for the company has been on original content... |
| All the science fiction and fantasy books we’re looking forward to in 2019 Posted: 30 Dec 2018 07:00 AM PST  With 2018 in the rear-view mirror, 2019 lies ahead, bringing with it a ton of new science fiction, fantasy, and horror novels that will bring us to new worlds and introduce us to our next favorite characters. 2019 is shaping up to be a really exciting year for readers. There are books coming from authors that we're huge fans of, and debuts from up-and-coming novelists that we can't wait to delve into. With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the upcoming books that we're really excited to see on our bookshelves this year. And before you ask — yes, this could be the year that George R.R. Martin and Patrick Rothfuss get around to releasing their long awaited The Winds of Winter and The Doors of Stone, but they don't have a release... |
| How to watch as NASA sends a spacecraft past a rock at the edge of the Solar System Posted: 30 Dec 2018 06:00 AM PST  While you ring in the new year on Monday night, you can also watch along as NASA sends a spacecraft zooming by a tiny rock 4.1 billion miles from Earth. The space agency's New Horizons probe, which flew by Pluto in 2015, is now going to fly past another object — a type of space rock we've never been to before. And it's all happening just as we enter the year 2019. Just like with the Pluto flyby, the New Horizons mission team is gathered at John Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, where they will monitor the spacecraft from the facility's mission operations center. Live streams will show what the team is up to before and during the flyby, and mission scientists will be hosting press conferences to provide... |
| The Verge 2018 tech report card: AI Posted: 30 Dec 2018 05:30 AM PST  As for much of the tech industry, 2018 has been a year of reckoning for artificial intelligence. As AI systems have been integrated into more products and services, the technology's shortcomings have become clearer. Researchers, companies, and the general public have all begun to grapple more with the limitations of AI and its adverse effects, asking important questions like: how is this technology being used, and for whose benefit? This reckoning has been most visible as a parade of negative headlines about algorithmic systems. This year saw the first deaths caused by self-driving cars; the Cambridge Analytica scandal; accusations that Facebook facilitated genocide in Myanmar; the revelation that Google helped the Pentagon train drone... |
