| Hail Satan? puts the fun in Satanic fundamentalism Posted: 26 Jan 2019 01:00 PM PST  Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our brief breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special event releases. This review comes from the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. In 2013, an organization billing itself as The Satanic Temple made a minor news splash when it mounted a press conference at the Florida State Capitol to praise Governor Rick Scott for signing a bill to permit student-led "inspirational messages" at school events. The group issued a statement in support of freedom of religion, saying that the bill "has reaffirmed our American freedom to practice our faith openly, allowing our Satanic children the freedom to pray in school." It was a puckish take on a thinly disguised, widely unpopular attempt to return religion... |
| You can now watch Star Trek: Discovery’s season 2 premiere on YouTube Posted: 26 Jan 2019 11:55 AM PST  When CBS's Star Trek: Discovery debuted last year, it did so with a special premiere on the network's television channel, a way to drive signups for the network's streaming service, CBS All Access. While the premiere of the show's second season has already come and gone, the network has decided to put this season's debut episode, "Brother," up on YouTube. Presumably, the episode is there to remind non-subscribers — or lapsed subscribers — that the show is back and that it's worth watching. Discovery seems to have done a good job bringing in new viewers when it first premiered in 2017 — CBS claimed at the time that signups for the service broke records after the show premiered on the network. But, that first season wrapped up last... |
| Crucial biometric privacy law survives Illinois court fight Posted: 26 Jan 2019 10:00 AM PST  Privacy advocates won a crucial court victory on Friday, as the Illinois Supreme Court dismissed a case that would have pared back a state law limiting the use of facial recognition and other biometrics. Passed in 2008, Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (or BIPA) requires affirmative consent for companies to collect biometric markers from their customers, including fingerprints and facial recognition models. The law has become a sticking point for a number of tech companies using facial recognition as a photo-sorting tool, and both Facebook and Google have faced lawsuits for alleged BIPA violations in their photo-tagging products. Facebook has pushed for legislative revisions to the law on several occasions, but so far... |
| 7 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 26 Jan 2019 09:00 AM PST  As much as I liked Ex Machina, I skipped out on Annihilation while it was in theaters, in part because the lack of studio confidence in it seemed to speak pretty poorly of how the film turned out. There were a lot of interesting ideas in the movie, but I didn't think they came together quite as well as in Alex Garland's last film. That said, there was one quirk of the film that I really loved: the way its score so often was just a simple, acoustic guitar. We're so used to big, sweeping, and very heavily electronic music in our science fiction films. Bringing in such a warm, physical instrument lends a completely different tone and is unsettling in its own, lonely way because of how unusual it is. Of course, Annihilation had its big... |
| $15 off Resident Evil 2 on PC, Super Bowl TV deals, and more are this week’s best deals Posted: 26 Jan 2019 08:00 AM PST  The Super Bowl is coming up in just over a week's time, kicking off at 6:30PM ET on Sunday, February 3rd. Now is perhaps the best time of the year to save on new TV or soundbar purchase, and we've been rounding up all of the deals worth checking out. Regardless of your interest in American football, the annual sporting event makes tech cheaper for everyone. TVs and soundbars are some of this week's best deals, but there's also a whole lot of other stuff that's on sale, covering a broad range of categories from charging accessories, video games, smart displays, and more.

| Sci-fi author Marko Kloos on what it takes to build a brand new solar system Posted: 26 Jan 2019 07:00 AM PST  Over the last six years, author Marko Kloos has forged an impressive career for himself with Frontlines, his popular, long-running military science fiction series. This year, he's shifting gears, setting aside Frontlines to start a brand new series called The Palladium Wars, a space opera set in the aftermath of a devastating war. Kloos's series began its life as a submission to the Viable Paradise SF/F Writer's Workshop — an annual boot camp on Martha's Vineyard that pairs aspiring writers with seasoned professionals. He wove in his own experiences as a non-commissioned officer in the German military into the story, which followed a recruit named Andrew Greyson, who joins the military to escape from the slums of an overcrowded North... |
| The iPhone SE is the best minimalist phone right now Posted: 26 Jan 2019 06:00 AM PST  Earlier this week, Apple began a clearance sale on the iPhone SE, its nearly three-year-old, 4-inch smartphone modeled after the iPhone 5S, at a $100 discount. It was the second round of recent sales after an initial batch sold out the previous weekend. And like any budget-adverse tech journalist with an impulse buying compulsion, I felt this was the appropriate moment to hop on the backup phone bandwagon. So I bought one. (Unfortunately, it sold out quick, again.) I've always appreciated the classic 5S design, with its overtly rounded corners and its sturdy, not-so-delicate dimensions. It never felt like it really required a case, and its smaller screen and more comfortable, one-handed use is something I've thought far too much about as... |
