| Procter and Gamble’s Opte wand is like a real-life beauty filter for your skin Posted: 10 Jan 2019 03:38 PM PST  You're never going to be the tall, willowy model with perfect skin whose hair always dazzles in slow motion as you spin it through the air — because there's no slow-motion cameraman following you around, if for no other reason. But though many beauty products promise seemingly impossible results, there may actually be a magic wand you could wave to restore some of the natural-looking beauty of your skin, according to attendees at CES 2019. It's called the Opté Precision Skincare System, and what it promises actually sounds plausible with today's technology — a gadget that can detect the color and pigmentation of your skin, spot blemishes, and precisely apply tiny jets of the exact right color makeup to those blemishes, without... |
| Apple’s TV industry embrace was an inevitable surprise Posted: 10 Jan 2019 02:38 PM PST  The biggest surprise of CES this year came from Apple, a company that didn't give a keynote speech, didn't have a booth on the show floor, but nevertheless dominates the show year after year from afar. A bunch of TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio will support AirPlay 2. It was a surprise because none of the announcements leaked, sure, but it was also a surprise because it ran completely counter to the way things usually go at CES. It also ran counter to the way things usually go with Apple. But even though nobody seemed to see it coming, it was also — at least, in retrospect — inevitable. Here's how things usually go at CES: a ton of consumer electronics companies make hundreds of announcements, we sift through them all to find the... |
| Ring let employees watch customer videos, claim reports Posted: 10 Jan 2019 02:19 PM PST  Smart doorbell company Ring allowed employees to share unencrypted customer videos with each other, according to reports by both The Intercept and The Information. The reports say that Ring, which was purchased by Amazon last year, gave various teams access to unencrypted customer video files on company servers and live feeds from some customer cameras, regardless of whether that access was necessary. The reports say that this behavior began in 2016, when Ring founder Jamie Siminoff moved the company's efforts from San Francisco to Ukraine to save money. Sources tell The Information that for months after the Ukraine office was opened, videos were frequently transmitted without encryption. In addition, the company provided its R&D team in... |
| For the first time, astronomers see the signatures of a newly birthed black hole or neutron star Posted: 10 Jan 2019 02:15 PM PST  For the first time ever, astronomers have directly witnessed the birth of a super dense object far outside of our galaxy — the rise of either a black hole or a collapsed star in real time. Up until now, we've only ever seen these objects many years after they've first formed. But now, we can study this creation in its early days, giving us novel insight into what these mysterious phenomena look like when they first come into existence. The discovery, nicknamed "The Cow," came as a delightful surprise during a routine survey of the night sky. Last year, a group of astronomers using the Keck Observatory's twin telescopes in Hawaii were looking for transients — astronomical explosions that suddenly appear with a flash in the sky and then... |
| Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T pledge again to close data access after location-tracking scandal Posted: 10 Jan 2019 02:12 PM PST  Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T said they were taking steps to crack down on the misuse of customer location data after an investigation this week found how easy it was for third parties to track the locations of customers. The announcements were the second promise from carriers in the past year to crack down on data access, and came as lawmakers questioned carriers' commitment to protecting sensitive information. In a story published on Tuesday, Motherboard said it had successfully paid a bounty hunter $300 to track the location of a cellphone, providing nothing except the phone's number. The bounty hunter, the publication reported, was able to track the phone through data from a third-party aggregator called Zumigo. That company provided... |
| VLC is adding AirPlay support and will reach 3 billion downloads Posted: 10 Jan 2019 01:57 PM PST  VLC, the open-source video player app, is announcing two major milestones from CES today.

The update could be released for the primary VLC app in "about a month," for free. However, VLC tells The Verge there's no specific release date yet:

| Shareholders file lawsuit against Google over payouts to executives accused of sexual harassment Posted: 10 Jan 2019 01:40 PM PST  Shareholders today filed a lawsuit against Google parent company Alphabet, arguing that the company had breached its duty to shareholders when it approved large exit packages for former executives after determining that there were credible allegations of sexual misconduct. The suit was filed this morning in San Mateo Superior Court by Alphabet shareholder James Martin. The suit seeks three new independent directors for the Alphabet board, and an end to the dual-class voting structure of the stock — moves that would greatly diminish the power held by co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It also calls for executives who received payouts to return them to the company. It also seeks unspecified financial damages. Google did not... |
| Bungie parts ways with Activision to self-publish Destiny Posted: 10 Jan 2019 01:37 PM PST  Game studio Bungie, known best for having created the Halo franchise and more recently the Destiny series, is splitting up with its longtime publishing partner Activision, the company said in a surprise announcement this afternoon. Bungie will retain the rights to Destiny, with plans to self-publish future expansions and new installments. The two companies partnered back in 2010, after Bungie sold its Halo rights to Microsoft and embarked on its next big project, which ultimately became 2014's online multiplayer shooter / RPG hybrid Destiny. As part of the terms of the deal, Bungie was to develop Destiny games for Activision for 10 years, though the developer has since clarified that the 10-year roadmap was never concrete. "When we... |
| IMDb has launched an ad-supported movie streaming service Posted: 10 Jan 2019 01:32 PM PST  IMDb is known as the place to go to look up details for any film under the sun, and now it's entering the streaming video arena. The company has launched Freedive, a free streaming platform that's supported by periodic ad breaks. The service's films and TV shows are available to registered IMDb or Amazon users and Amazon Fire TV owners. (The list of compatible devices is the same as the list for Prime Video.) Fire owners can navigate the service by way of a new icon in the "Your Apps & Channels" section or by telling their Amazon smart device, "Alexa, go to Freedive." The site says it will continually add new offerings to the site. The site will also indicate on a film's page if it's available on Freedive. The service follows similar... |
