| The fight over launching Spotify in India is about to get messy Posted: 25 Feb 2019 06:30 PM PST  The fight over Spotify launching in India might change Indian copyright law and shape how streaming services and labels interact worldwide. Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Warner Music Group had asked an Indian court to block Spotify from being able to play music from its catalog on the streaming service. Spotify is set to launch in India, even though it hasn't secured a license to Warner's catalog. But, according to Indian law, it might be able to use music from Warner's publishing division, Warner/Chappell Music, anyway. At the crux of this lawsuit: a 2016 reinterpretation of a 2012 amendment to a 1957 law that Spotify is using in 2019 as leverage against Warner in a global licensing fight. Spotify and Warner had been in... |
| Air pollution shines from this alarming map Posted: 25 Feb 2019 04:36 PM PST  Traces of burning outline a map of human settlement and industry in a haunting graphic released by the data analysis startup Descartes Labs. Silver patches and strands represent nitrogen dioxide emissions, a gas produced by combustion that contributes to acid rain, haze, and lung problems. While there are natural sources of nitrogen dioxide, people are major emitters, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Fuel-burning cars, trucks, power plants, factories, and even lawn mowers and construction equipment can pump nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere. Forest fires and agricultural burning can, too. "You're looking at a map showing where things are being burned," says Laura Mazzaro, an atmospheric scientist and environmental... |
| Elon Musk might be held in contempt of court over a Tesla tweet Posted: 25 Feb 2019 03:45 PM PST  The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked a federal judge to hold Tesla CEO Elon Musk in contempt for sending out an inaccurate tweet, according to a court document filed today in the Southern District of New York. According to SEC officials, Musk violated the rules of a settlement reached last fall regarding his use of Twitter to disclose financial information about the electric carmaker. As part of the settlement, Musk stepped down as chairman of the company, but remained its CEO. He also agreed to seek legal approval before tweeting anything that might materially impact Tesla, a stipulation of the deal Musk himself told 60 Minutes last December had not been implemented. Tesla didn't respond to requests for comment. Musk... |
| iOS app makers will soon be able to discount subscriptions for current and past customers Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:52 PM PST  Apple will soon give iOS and Mac App Store developers the option to offer discounted subscriptions to current and past customers, as noted by MacRumors and TechCrunch. As it stands now, limited-time subscription rates can only be part of introductory promotions; once you've signed up for a service or app, you're stuck having to pay the regular subscription cost after the discount expires. And developers haven't had any way of changing that — say, to entice former subscribers back in — without lowering the monthly fee for everyone. You can't take advantage of an introduction offer twice, in other words. But that's set to change soon with iOS 12.2: Apple will enable developers to offer promotional subscription discounts to lapsed and... |
| Lime warns riders about ‘sudden excessive braking’ due to firmware bug Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:41 PM PST  Lime has issued a warning to riders about a firmware bug in the company's electric scooters that can cause "sudden excessive braking" during use, via The Washington Post. According to Lime, the bug occurs in "very rare cases," usually when a rider is going downhill at top speed and hits a pothole or obstacle, the scooter will unexpectedly brake the front wheel, which has led to some riders being injured. Lime says that the issue isn't common, with less than 0.0045 percent of all Lime rides encountering the problem, but the company is warning customers anyway and noting that they should use extra caution while the issue is being fixed. To that end, Lime has already started... |
| Zero’s new electric motorcycle justifies the comparisons to Tesla Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:34 PM PST  California-based Zero Motorcycles pulled the cover off of its newest electric bike, the SR/F, at an event in midtown Manhattan on Monday. It's the company's most advanced bike in its 13-year history, with a colorful new digital dashboard, a revamped mobile app, and of course, the promise that it will be a joy to ride, with 110 horsepower on offer and up to 200 miles of range on a full charge (with a range-extending battery pack add-on). The new SR/F will start shipping in April, and starts at $18,995. That base model can make it 161 miles on a single charge in the city, 99 miles on the highway (at 55 mph), or 123 combined, according to Zero's estimates. It comes with a 3kW rapid charger and will be sold in two different colors. |
| Nubia’s new wearable puts a 4-inch flexible smartphone on your wrist Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:24 PM PST  There's been a lot of talk in the last year about the different form factors of devices (laptops, tablets, and smartphones) gradually converging over time. We've seen Google and Apple attempt to make the tablet a viable laptop replacement with the iPad Pro and Pixel Slate, and now Samsung and Huawei are merging the smartphone and tablet with their foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Fold and Mate X, respectively. Less common is the idea of using flexible displays to bring together the form factors of the smartwatch and the smartphone. But that's exactly what Nubia has done with the Nubia Alpha, a smartwatch with a lot of the functionality of a regular smartphone. We saw it shown off in a non-touchable capacity at IFA last year, and now at M... |
| How to report a problem on Facebook Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:16 PM PST  Although you may not want to add to the trauma of the moderation staff who spend their days monitoring the worst of Facebook, disturbing and inappropriate content gets posted to the social network each and every day, and the company's automated software is woefully ill-equipped at finding it and even worse at properly evaluating it. So how do you as a user report a post, message, photo, or other item on Facebook that you believe should be pulled? Well, the first place to go is Facebook's own page discussing how to report a violation, rather vaguely titled "Report Something." The page begins, "We're sorry you're having a bad experience on Facebook, and we want to help." The guide has some broad suggestions on how to handle various... |
| Kickstarter takes down campaign to digitally remove the rat from The Departed due to IP dispute Posted: 25 Feb 2019 02:05 PM PST  Adam Sacks was a video editor on a mission: to create a Kickstarter to digitally erase the rat that appears in the final scene of Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning film The Departed. But sadly, it seems that Sacks' dream may not become a reality, with Warner Bros. issuing a DCMA copyright takedown request to cancel the project. Sacks was attempting to raise $4,000 for the quest to remove the rat, which he describes on the campaign as a "painfully on the nose metaphor" that ruins the ending of an otherwise great film. (I'll be honest, I've never actually seen The Departed, but I'll take his word for it.) The project had actually hit its goal last week, but with Warner Bros. now claiming copyright violation, it probably won't happen. |
| Microsoft CEO defends Pentagon contract following employee outcry Posted: 25 Feb 2019 12:41 PM PST  Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella defended the company's multimillion-dollar contract with the Pentagon to supply augmented reality headsets in an interview with CNN Business today. Last week, dozens of employees publicly criticized that same contract and called for the company to end its ties with the US military. On Friday, a group of about 50 Microsoft workers published a letter demanding that the company pull out of its nearly $480 million contract to supply as many as 100,000 HoloLens devices to the US military. The company beat out other competitors like Magic Leap last November, ultimately winning its bid to provide the Defense Department with the headsets. The Pentagon described the project as a method of increasing "lethality by... |
