| Posted: 05 Dec 2018 06:02 PM PST  Google has officially announced that it's shutting down Allo, ending the run of yet another failed Google chat app experiment. The news isn't entirely unsurprising, given that Google had already paused investment in Allo back in April. Back then, the head of the communications group at Google, Anil Sabharwal, noted that "[Allo] as a whole has not achieved the level of traction we'd hoped for." Allo will "continue to work through March 2019," Google says, and users will be able to export their conversation history until then. The timing for Allo's pending shut down is particularly apt, given that Verizon is set to officially launch RCS Chat on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL on December 6th. Unlike Allo, RCS Chat will be carrier-based in its... |
| 5G phones could cost $200 to $300 more, says OnePlus CEO Posted: 05 Dec 2018 04:49 PM PST  OnePlus has built a reputation for offering premium phones without a premium price to match — we called the OnePlus 6T "the most affordable flagship you can get." But the company's first 5G phone, announced this morning at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Tech Summit in Maui, won't be cheap. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau tells The Verge that his company is working on both the new 5G phone and existing 4G phones in parallel, and that he expects his 5G phone will likely cost $200 to $300 more. "It's hard to know because there's a lot of specifics still to look at, but it's likely in the neighborhood of $200-300 more," Lau says, via translator. That might not be the case for all new 5G smartphones, though. "You may see some OEMs try to monetize as much as... |
| Long-awaited survival game Below is out next week Posted: 05 Dec 2018 04:30 PM PST  Capy, the game developer behind beloved indie gems Super Time Force and Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP, is finally ready to release its next big title. Called Below, the moody roguelike survival game has been in the works for five long years, and now it's coming out next week on December 14th. The title remains an Xbox console exclusive, but you can also play it on PC. There's no word yet on pricing. Back in March of 2016, Capy said the game would be coming out in the summer, but it ultimately ended up pausing development to finish the game OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, based on the Cartoon Network show of the same name. Capy said at the time that it wanted to take its time to ensure Below got the treatment it deserved, and the title... |
| Epic Games is getting sued for turning rapper 2 Milly’s dance into a Fortnite emote Posted: 05 Dec 2018 03:58 PM PST  Fortnite creator Epic Games is now facing a lawsuit from hip-hop artist 2 Milly, who claims the game developer ripped off his "Milly Rock" dance move by turning it into an in-game emote players can earn after spending real money, according to a report from Variety. The lawsuit was filed in California district court on Wednesday. The lawsuit marks the first formal legal challenge against the widespread game industry practice of appropriating pop culture, like dance moves and memes, and turning it into virtual items for sale. Though other developers have done this in the past — including Blizzard with World of Warcraft and Overwatch and Bungie with its Destiny series — Epic makes Fortnite, arguably still the most popular game right now... |

| Timothy Zahn is writing a new Thrawn novel Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:46 PM PST  Lucasfilm and Del Rey Books revealed today that Timothy Zahn is writing a new Star Wars novel: Thrawn: Treason. It's a sequel to 2017's Thrawn (which covered the villain's origins) and Thrawn: Alliances, the sequel that brought Thrawn and Darth Vader together for the first time. This new book is set in the aftermath of the demise of Thrawn's Tie Defender project in Star Wars Rebels, after it's killed in favor of the Empire weapons project that becomes the Death Star. The new book follows the titular character as he grapples with an impossible choice: heed a warning from his former aide de camp Eli Vanto, who brings word that Thrawn's home world is in danger, or remain loyal to the Empire he pledged to serve. |
| Milo Yiannopoulos lasted a single day on Patreon before getting banned Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:43 PM PST  Former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos attempted to fund a "magnificent 2019 comeback" on the crowdfunding platform Patreon, only to be banned after one day. Yiannopoulos' Patreon campaign, whose banner image is seen above, garnered around 250 patrons pledging an unknown amount of money before being kicked off the service. "Milo Yiannopoulos was removed from Patreon as we don't allow association with or supporting hate groups on Patreon," the company said in a tweet. Leaked emails have linked Yiannopoulos to white supremacists, and a 2016 video showed him singing karaoke in a bar while audience members, including white nationalist Richard Spencer, gave Nazi salutes.

| Canada arrests top Huawei executive on suspicion of violating Iran sanctions Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:40 PM PST  Canada arrested the chief financial officer of Huawei on suspicion of violating US sanctions against Iran, according to The Globe and Mail. The CFO, Meng Wanzhou, was arrested in Vancouver on Saturday at the request of US law enforcement and is facing extradition to the US. It's an extremely high-profile arrest, the first major break in a probe that has mostly been kept from the public and only after long-harbored suspicions about Huawei have become widespread. Meng happens to be the daughter of Huawei's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, a former People's Liberation Army engineer whose connection to the Chinese Communist Party has contributed to the suspicions of US intelligence agencies. Meng also serves as deputy chair on Huawei's board. "... |
| Monterey Bay Aquarium takes Apple to task for its backward squid emoji Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:34 PM PST  Creating biologically accurate emoji representations of animals and insects are an issue for developers at Apple and Google, and the most recent example is no exception. Apple's squid emoji, which was integrated in 2016, is on the receiving end of scorn from the scientific community following a tweet from the Monterey Bay Aquarium team. The team addressed a serious misdeed on Apple's part, in an effort to bring attention to sea life in general for ocean awareness. The squid in question, seen in the tweet below, is actually upside down, according to the team. The siphon should appear behind this little fella's head, not on his face.

| Facebook fends off new anti-monopoly questions after UK email release Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:14 PM PST  Today, documents released by the UK Parliament provided a largely unprecedented, firsthand look inside Facebook. In the documents, executives can be seen responding to the threat of competitors, debating how to handle users' data, and discussing major changes to its business model. In all, the cache shows a fact about Facebook that's widely understood, but only occasionally detailed: its decisions have tremendous consequences for businesses that rely on it. The documents are shedding new light on Facebook's market power, and some experts and lawmakers are already accusing the company of breaking anti-monopoly law through its aggressive control of its platform. In the documents, companies can be seen pleading with executives after the... |
