| Hasbro’s new Fortnite Nerf guns launch on March 22nd, with preorders starting today Posted: 15 Feb 2019 04:46 PM PST  Hasbro, owner of the Nerf brand, today revealed its full lineup of Fortnite-themed Nerf products, including the previously announced AR-L Elite blaster modeled after the SCAR in Epic Games' hit battle royale game. Prior to today, only the AR-L Elite was confirmed back when the line was first announced in October. At the time, that product had a ship date of June 1st, 2019 and a price tag of $49.99. That price tag stays the same, but Hasbro says all of the products will now start shipping on March 22nd. Preorders start today through the Hasbro Pulse website, although the company says you'll also be able to order them well through Amazon, Target, and Walmart when the full product listings go live at some point in the future. |
| President of United States reposts video from winner of Infowars meme contest Posted: 15 Feb 2019 02:55 PM PST  President Trump tweeted a video today from a YouTuber known for winning an Infowars meme contest. The video, from a creator who goes by Carpe Donktum, primarily mocks the reactions of Democrats who attended this year's State of the Union. Trump didn't call out Donktum or Donktum's channel specifically (although there is a watermark on the video), but far-right personalities like Mike Cernovich and Scott Adams congratulated Donktum on the newfound attention. Trump has tweeted images and videos that originated with the far-right online community before, sometimes provoking controversy. Trump found himself under international criticism last year after retweeting... |
| Apple buys AI voice startup that helps companies build Alexa and Google Assistant apps Posted: 15 Feb 2019 02:16 PM PST  Apple has acquired a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup called PullString that specializes in helping companies build conversational voice apps, according to a report from Axios. Pullstring was founded back in 2011 by former Pixar employees — its CEO, Oren Jacob, is Pixar's former chief technology officer. Up until now, PullString was most well known within the tech industry as the software backbone behind voice systems for popular toys, like Mattell's talking Hello Barbie doll. It's not clear what Apple will be getting out of the deal, which is said to be worth under $100 million, but well over the $44 million in venture capital funding PullString has amassed thus far. But beyond toys, PullString has also worked on the... |
| Apple’s latest iPhone ad shows a different kind of portrait mode ‘fail’ Posted: 15 Feb 2019 01:46 PM PST  Portrait mode causes some uncomfortable tension between two parents in Apple's latest iPhone commercial, which has got to be one of the funnier spots that the company has produced in some time. In the ad, one mother is swiping through photos of the group's kids when another notices that her son has been blurred and made unrecognizable by the iPhone's portrait mode. She asks, "Did you... bokeh my child?" The ensuing conversation demonstrates how the effect can be dialed back or turned off altogether to get both kids in sharp focus — but the damage has already been done. Be considerate with your bokeh, people. This is also advice that extends to Android, as many devices now offer adjustable portrait blur. Apple doesn't usually go for... |
| Twitter has been storing your ‘deleted’ DMs for years Posted: 15 Feb 2019 01:39 PM PST  Twitter lets users delete direct messages from their own side of the conversation (the recipient will still get to keep a copy, unless they also choose to delete it). But it turns out, those deleted messages aren't really getting removed at all, according to a report from security researcher Karan Saini, via TechCrunch. It turns out that despite showing that the message was deleted, Twitter still stores all those DMs dating back years. Folks can access this simply by downloading the archived data on their account from Twitter. Saini confirms that even messages sent to and from deleted or suspended accounts are still accessible. Now, this isn't the most concerning of bugs — the data appears to only be available to the user that sent or... |
| Uber sues to overturn New York City’s cap on new ride-hail drivers Posted: 15 Feb 2019 01:24 PM PST  Uber filed a lawsuit on Friday to overturn New York City's first-in-the-nation law capping the number of ride-hail drivers that operate on its streets. The law, which went into effect last August, paused the issuance of new licenses to drivers for 12 months. But Uber wants the law overturned for fear that the city will ultimately make the cap permanent. The law was part of a sweeping legislative package passed by the New York City Council last summer to give regulators more control over e-hail companies. In addition to the cap, the city council also approved a minimum pay standard among drivers, with the goal of reducing how much time empty cars spend on the road. Supporters... |
| Newly signed funding bill gives NASA’s budget a significant boost Posted: 15 Feb 2019 01:18 PM PST  After enduring the longest government shutdown in history, NASA stands to receive a big boost in funding for fiscal year 2019, thanks to a new budget bill signed by President Trump today. The legislation, which funds the federal government through September 30th, 2019, would give NASA $21.5 billion — an increase over last year's budget of $20.7 billion and much more than the $19.9 billion the agency asked for. Practically every major program within NASA will receive a boost. The agency's science programs, which cover planetary missions and Earth science, will receive a total $6.9 billion, up from $6.2 billion from last year. The human exploration program will get $5 billion, while it got $4.79 billion in 2018. |
| Niantic is tweaking Pokémon Go to settle a lawsuit with angry homeowners Posted: 15 Feb 2019 12:43 PM PST  Pokémon Go developer Niantic has agreed to settle a lawsuit with people who had PokéStops placed near their houses, and it's making some minor game changes as part of the deal. The settlement appeared in court filings yesterday, and it's still awaiting a judge's approval. It won't resolve some big legal questions about how augmented reality mixes with physical property laws — but it should make life easier for people who find unwanted Pokémon Go players around their homes. Niantic agreed to implement several new features and policies under the settlement, which will be binding for the next three years. Homeowners can already have pokémon gyms or PokéStops removed from private property, but Niantic now promises to resolve complaints... |
| Here are three features Twitter could add to earn some trust Posted: 15 Feb 2019 12:38 PM PST  I love Twitter, so it's a real shame that it's owned by the Twitter corporation. In many ways Twitter is already a human artifact worthy of history books, but as a software product in 2019, it stinks. The company's crowning achievements in the past decade include replacing a star icon with a heart, doubling the length of tweets, and solving harassment with blog posts. Twitter's upside is world-shaking and poetic — and that's why its delinquent stewardship is so frustrating. This week brought another bizarre interview with Jack Dorsey, and a fresh round of promises by the Twitter CEO to maybe someday do something useful with his company's product. Well, I'm not buying it — fucking up constantly is in Twitter's DNA — but I do have three... |
| Tesla’s latest challenge is finding new customers for the Model 3 Posted: 15 Feb 2019 12:24 PM PST  As Tesla transitions out of a year full of Model 3 "production hell" and "delivery hell," a new question has emerged: how many more customers are there for the car? This question was repeated a number of times during a call with industry analysts on January 30th where Tesla discussed its full financial results for 2018. Tesla still hasn't started production of the $35,000 version of the Model 3 originally promised in 2016, and some on Wall Street are worried that the company has tapped out demand for the higher-priced versions of the car in the United States — especially as other automakers are warning of a rough 2019 as car sales cool worldwide. It would be a stark turnaround in the story of Tesla, considering the company spent most of... |
