| No, Elon, the Navigate on Autopilot feature is not ‘full self-driving’ Posted: 30 Jan 2019 05:00 PM PST  On an earnings call with investors Wednesday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk made an extraordinary statement: all of Tesla's vehicles today are capable of what he has called "full self-driving" on highways and most other controlled-access roads. "Full self-driving capability is there," Musk said matter-of-factly. He was referring to Tesla's recently rolled out "Navigate on Autopilot" feature, which guides the car from "on-ramp to off-ramp" by suggesting and making lane changes, navigating highway interchanges, and proactively taking exits. The problem is, of course, that Navigate on Autopilot is not "full self-driving," not even on the highway. No car on the road today can... |
| Samsung reports big fall in profit but expects Galaxy S10 to ‘prop up’ performance Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:57 PM PST  Samsung Electronics has turned in an earnings report in line with its guidance, as happens every quarter. The difference this quarter, though, is that the guidance was unexpectedly bad, and so as predicted the company's 10.8 trillion-won (~$9.7 billion) operating profit is down 29 percent year on year. Revenue dropped 10 percent from a year earlier to 59.27 trillion won ($53.3 billion), slightly on the high end of Samsung's provided range. Samsung says its earnings were primarily affected by falling demand for memory chips, usually its biggest profit driver, as well as slowing smartphone shipments and increased competition for mobile displays. The company doesn't expect demand for memory to pick up this quarter, either, and is warning of... |
| Stephen King’s The Stand is headed to CBS All Access Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:48 PM PST  Another adaptation of a Stephen King series is headed for a streaming service. This time, it's his classic novel The Stand, which CBS All Access has greenlit for a 10-episode series, according to CBS. The Stand is arguably one of King's best-known novels, a sprawling, post apocalyptic work set in the aftermath of a plague that wipes out most of the world's population. The novel follows the breakdown of society and the efforts of a small band of survivors who seek to establish a new society led by a 108-year-old who is the embodiment of "good," and face off against a rival faction headed by a malevolent leader. This isn't the first time that the novel has been adapted: ABC aired an eight-hour miniseries way back in 1994, and there have... |
| Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot will premiere April 1st on CBS All Access Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:06 PM PST  CBS has set a premiere date for Jordan Peele's reboot of The Twilight Zone: April 1st. The first two episodes will premiere on CBS All Access, with new episodes to follow each Thursday. Peele will be one of the show's executive producers, and he will also host and narrate the show. The timing is apt, as CBS All Access's other big science fiction revival show, Star Trek: Discovery, should be wrapping up its second season in April, giving subscribers another reason to hang onto their subscription for a bit longer. Created in 1959 by Rod Sterling, the original Twilight Zone has endured as a classic science fiction anthology series, with each science fiction, fantasy, or horror episode playing out a self-contained, moralistic story, often... |
| Facebook’s combined messaging system won’t arrive this year Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:01 PM PST  Facebook is reportedly working to combine Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram messaging into a single, unified platform, but don't expect that system to hit anytime soon: CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said that the project — "to whatever term we end up doing this" — would likely not show up until 2020 and beyond. "The integration that we're thinking about, we're really early in thinking through this," Zuckerberg said on the company's Q4 earnings call. "There's a lot more we need to figure out." While Zuckerberg wouldn't provide too many details as to the actual plan for allowing Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp users to communicate, he did elaborate as to why the company is pursing it.... |
| Measles are coming back because of vaccination loopholes Posted: 30 Jan 2019 02:31 PM PST  Yet another measles outbreak is endangering children — this one in Washington state. Of the 37 people already infected in this outbreak, at least 32 weren't vaccinated against measles, and 35 were under 18 years old. Experts say this outbreak was easy enough to predict, and could have been prevented if more children in the area were vaccinated. The situation raises the question — how many more kids will get sick before vaccination rates increase? Measles has been flaring up around the world, with outbreaks in the US cropping up in New York, New Jersey, and now, Washington state. Last year, 349 people were infected with measles — making it the second-worst measles year since 2000, when health officials determined that the disease had... |
| Google disables app that monitored iPhone usage in violation of Apple’s rules Posted: 30 Jan 2019 02:22 PM PST  Google just disabled a private iOS app that monitored users' iPhone usage, after it was revealed today that the app violated Apple's distribution policies in the same way that Facebook's usage-tracking Research app did. Called Screenwise Meter, the iOS and Android app gave users who opted into Google's Opinion Rewards program gift cards in exchange for tracking their internet usage data. The iOS version of the app relied on Apple's enterprise program, which allows for the distribution of apps with special privileges to be used only by a company's employees. The app has now been disabled on iOS, though it's still available on Google's Play Store. A Google spokesperson told The Verge, "The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have... |
| Facebook keeps growing despite scandals and privacy outrage Posted: 30 Jan 2019 01:55 PM PST  Facebook's past year has been filled with back-to-back privacy scandals and seemingly nonstop bad news, but you wouldn't know it looking at the company's earnings sheet. Facebook's Q4 2018 earnings report is out, and the social media giant has both beaten revenue expectations and seen increased user growth. There were more than 1.52 billion people using Facebook every day in December 2018, a 9 percent increase year over year. Monthly active users were also up 9 percent year over year, with 2.32 billion as of December 31st. Those numbers are both up from last quarter by 1.8 percent, improving on a three-month stretch that saw a slight usage decline in the US and Europe. This quarter's growth is by no means the best Facebook has had, but... |
| Google+ is officially deleting consumer data starting April 2nd Posted: 30 Jan 2019 01:46 PM PST  Last October, Google announced plans to shut down Google+ for consumers after a security flaw exposed users' profile data. Shortly after, Google+ had another data leak, prompting Google to fast-track the shutdown for its social network, moving the deadline up four months to April 2019. Now, Google has formally released the timeline for how and when Google+ will go away. As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities, or events. Comments generated by Google+ on external websites will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and from other sites by March 7th. All your website comments made using Google+ will be deleted starting on April 2nd. On April 2nd, all consumer Google+ content... |
| Tesla posts back-to-back profits for the first time Posted: 30 Jan 2019 01:42 PM PST  Tesla made a $139 million profit in the fourth quarter of 2018, the first time the electric automaker has ever posted back-to-back profitable quarters in its 15-year history. It was also Tesla's fourth profitable quarter ever, according to an investor letter published on Wednesday. Tesla generated $7.2 billion in revenue in the quarter, a record for the company. Total revenue for 2018 was $21.4 billion — another record for the company — though Tesla still posted a $1 billion loss across the year. Tesla remains short of CEO Elon Musk's ultimate goal of generating a full-year profit, but it has been clawing back its losses and finished the year with $3.7 billion in cash. Last year, the company lost $2 billion. Musk and CFO Deepak Ahuja... |
