| Ajit Pai locks horns with Congress over location-tracking report Posted: 14 Jan 2019 03:25 PM PST  A recent report on carrier tracking has sparked a growing feud between FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and the Congressional committee charged with overseeing him. Last Friday, Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) sent a letter to Pai requesting an "emergency briefing," following reports that the nation's largest cellphone carriers were disclosing consumers' real-time location data. But according to Pallone, Pai has refused to hold the briefing. "Today, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai refused to brief Energy and Commerce Committee staff on the real-time tracking of cell phone location," Pallone said. "In a phone conversation today, his staff asserted that these egregious actions are not a threat to the safety of human life or... |
| Infiniti’s first all-electric car will be inspired by this flashy concept Posted: 14 Jan 2019 03:00 PM PST  Infiniti showed up to last year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit with a wild, low-slung, futuristic sedan that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie villain's garage. The strangest thing about that car, though, was that the far-out concept wasn't electric. Instead of showcasing the future that parent company Nissan seems so set on, the luxury arm fitted its concept with a combustion engine, which wasn't exactly expected. That changed at this year's show, because Infiniti debuted something called the QX Inspiration. The puffy SUV concept is all electric, and is meant to serve as a preview of what's to come with Infiniti's first true EV — whenever that arrives. I... |
| The Passage is a terrific horror series about terrible ideas Posted: 14 Jan 2019 02:08 PM PST  Spoiler warning: This review reveals some plot points of the first three episodes of The Passage. The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but in Fox's new show The Passage, which premieres on January 14th, the road to the end of the world is paved with bad ideas. Based on Justin Cronin's best-selling trilogy about the vampire apocalypse, the show uses voice-over from spunky orphan turned government test subject Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) throughout its first episode to provide ominous foreshadowing, showing how the characters' mixture of bad circumstances and highly questionable responses are going to lead to even more horrible outcomes. "I didn't used to believe in monsters, but I do now," Amy says. "I saw them change... |
| NBCUniversal set to launch standalone streaming service in 2020 Posted: 14 Jan 2019 01:40 PM PST  NBCUniversal is joining the streaming wars, announcing that it will launch its own standalone streaming service in 2020. An ad-supported version of the streaming service will be free for NBC TV subscribers in the United States, and will also be made available to Comcast Cable and Sky subscribers internationally, too. Paid versions of the app, which include an ad-free version for those who don't want to sit through commercials, will also be available for $12.99, according to a CNBC report. This will allow cord cutters who don't subscribe to NBC to access the streaming service, too. Much like CBS All Access, NBCUniversal's streaming service will offer original programming for subscribers alongside its catalog of titles. Shows like 30... |
| Red Dead Redemption 2’s Pinkerton agents are at the center of a lawsuit Posted: 14 Jan 2019 01:18 PM PST  The publisher of Red Dead Redemption 2 has thrown down a legal gauntlet against the security company Pinkerton — which demanded royalties for using its name in the game. According to a complaint filed late last week, Pinkerton sent Take-Two Interactive a cease-and-desist letter over the characters of Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross, a pair of Pinkerton agents and major antagonists in the game. Now, Take-Two is suing to have the characters declared fair use, arguing that they're part of Red Dead Redemption 2's detailed historical setting. Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations (now a subsidiary of security firm Securitas AB) delivered its cease-and-desist order in December, roughly two months after Red Dead Redemption 2's release. It... |
| Tesla’s Model 3 will be the prime target at upcoming hacker contest Posted: 14 Jan 2019 01:03 PM PST  The Pwn2Own contest is one of the biggest events in competitive security research, a place where up-and-coming hackers can show off their skills and earn money by finding new vulnerabilities in widely used programs. But this year, there will be a new target on the list — a brand-new Tesla Model 3. Tesla is partnering with the event's organizers to include the Model 3 as the sole target in the automotive category, challenging hackers to find new ways to compromise the car's security. The car is also a prize, to be awarded to a single winner in the automotive category. It's the first time a car has been put to the test at Pwn2Own, and a measure of Tesla's commitment to digital security. "Our work with the security research community is... |
| Michelle Yeoh is officially getting her own Star Trek show on CBS All Access Posted: 14 Jan 2019 01:00 PM PST  CBS All Access announced today its plans to add another Star Trek series to its lineup, with Michelle Yeoh set to star in the leading role as Captain Philippa Georgiou. Today's news confirms the rumors that had been circulating since November, and it means this Star Trek Discovery spinoff will be the fourth series to expand on the Star Trek franchise for CBS's streaming service. What's the show about? SPOILER ALERT: The series will follow Captain Georgiou's alternate counterpart from the Mirror Universe, where she was the villainous Emperor of the Terran Empire. Executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, and Aaron Baiers, and writers Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt will chronicle her journey during... |
| Apple says Qualcomm refused to sell it chips for the latest iPhones Posted: 14 Jan 2019 12:23 PM PST  Apple says it wanted to use Qualcomm modems in the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR — but that Qualcomm refused to sell them after Apple sued over its licensing practices. "In the end they would not support us or sell us chips," Apple's chief operating officer Jeff Williams revealed today during his testimony to the US Federal Trade Commission, as spotted by CNET. Apple had to use Intel's LTE chips instead. Qualcomm is currently on trial, accused of engaging in monopolistic practices including charging unusually high royalty rates, refusing to license patents to other chipmakers, and promising deals to customers like Apple if they exclusively used Qualcomm chips. While it originally appeared that Apple had shifted to exclusively using Intel... |
| TCL’s 65-inch 6-Series 4K TV is cheaper than ever at Amazon, Walmart, and Target Posted: 14 Jan 2019 11:10 AM PST  TCL's 6-Series 4K HDR televisions are the best that you can get for under $1,000, and you have the rare opportunity to pick up the 65-inch version for $849.99 — it usually hovers just north of $1,000 — at Amazon, Walmart, and Target. If that's a bit too big for your home or your price range, the 55-inch version is discounted to $629.99 from its usual $799.99. TCL's 6-Series is a good choice if you're looking to make some budget-friendly home entertainment revisions before the 2019 Super Bowl or for any other reason. It's not on the list of TVs to receive AirPlay 2 — blame Roku, not TCL — but nevertheless, this TV is slim, supports Dolby Vision and HDR 10, and the LED performance is arguably the best you can get for the price.

| Uber adds a ‘clean air fee’ in London to help drivers upgrade to electric cars Posted: 14 Jan 2019 11:08 AM PST  London residents who use Uber will have to pay an extra 15 pence (USD $0.19) per mile under the ride-hail company's new Clean Air plan that was announced Monday. The surcharge will go toward helping Uber drivers switch from dirty, fossil fuel burning cars to cleaner, battery-electric versions — with the goal of having all cars on the app be fully electric in London by 2025. The average trip in London is around three miles (4.8 km), so riders can expect to pay an extra 45 pence (USD $0.58) for every ride. All London drivers are eligible to receive cash payments from Uber to help them purchase an electric car. Uber says the amount of money drivers will receive toward the cost of... |
