| Slack has decided to somehow make its icon even duller and less notable Posted: 26 Feb 2019 06:26 PM PST  When massively popular workplace messaging app Slack first revealed that it would be trading in its wonderfully unique hashtag logo for a squirting pinwheel, I found a silver lining anyhow. "At least it's got that nice purple background," I thought to myself, the first time I saw the new icon pop up on my Android phone. But it seems that Slack is dead set on making its logo as generic as can possibly be, because today it's replacing that purple with a white background instead. Just like half the other apps on my phone. Incredibly, Slack says the move is designed to make it easier to spot the Slack app:

| Fake Amazon reviews draw fraud charges in groundbreaking FTC case Posted: 26 Feb 2019 05:46 PM PST  The US Federal Trade Commission has successfully brought the first ever case against using fraudulent, paid Amazon reviews to falsely advertise an online product, the agency announced Tuesday evening. The company in question, named Cure Encapsulations, Inc. and owned by Naftula Jacobowitz, paid a third-party website to write five-star Amazon reviews for a weight-loss supplement called garcinia cambogia. The plant, native to Indonesia, is widely mischaracterized as contributing to weight loss, but is in fact known to cause acute liver failure. Cure Encapsulations paid a website called amazonverifiedreviews.com to keep the product's Amazon rating above 4.3 out of 5 stars, with reviews stating that the supplement worked as a "powerful... |
| Faraday Future says hundreds of furloughed employees won’t return to work next week Posted: 26 Feb 2019 04:18 PM PST  EV startup Faraday Future has told employees on "furlough," or unpaid leave, that it can no longer bring them back to work on March 1st as planned, according to an internal email sent Tuesday and obtained by The Verge. The company says it is extending the furlough, but did not say for how long. These employees have been on furlough since December, with benefits. Faraday Future has been searching for new funding since last October, when it got into an ugly public fight with its biggest outside investor, Chinese real estate giant Evergrande. Evergrande committed $2 billion to the California-based EV startup at the end of 2017, but Faraday Future spent the first $800 million installment by mid-2018. When Faraday Future asked Evergrande to... |
| Food delivery app Caviar spotlights who’s making your food by labeling restaurants as women-owned Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:34 PM PST  Food delivery apps help you get pizza and salads without having to talk to restaurants at all. You might go for days without even needing to think about who's making your food. But meal delivery startup Caviar wants to highlight where your dollars have actually been going when you order all those pizzas and salads. It's created a permanent, eye-catching section at the top of its app dedicated to businesses owned by or powered by women. So far, only a handful of restaurants are included in the section of the app — 34 near me in downtown Manhattan. But users also get the ability to nominate other eateries to be included through a Google form. The criteria: any restaurants that have women as head chefs in the kitchen, as business owners, or... |
| Facebook’s promised Clear History privacy tool to launch later this year following delay Posted: 26 Feb 2019 02:08 PM PST  Facebook's long-awaited Clear History tool, a privacy feature the social network says will let you wipe information the social network collects about you from third-party apps and websites, is now scheduled to come out later this year, chief financial officer David Wehner told the crowd at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference. Wehner's comments were first reported by CNBC this morning. The Clear History tool was promised in May of last year, just before the company's F8 developer conference, and at that point was still just an idea designed to earn back lost user trust, BuzzFeed News reported in an investigation on Clear History's rocky development published last week. At the time, CEO Mark Zuckerberg described the... |
| Facebook’s Patreon competitor is a bad deal for creators Posted: 26 Feb 2019 01:58 PM PST  Facebook began expanding access to its Patreon competitor last night, giving more page owners the ability to start offering content to their subscribers for a monthly fee. But it doesn't take much digging to see that the terms for Facebook's feature, known as Fan Subscriptions, make for a bad deal for creators, giving Facebook a lifetime license to use their work and the right to take up to a whopping 30 percent of subscription fees. When Facebook announced its Fan Subscriptions feature last March, the service was only open to just 10 creators across the US and UK. After an initial test period, Facebook began sending out emails to more creators inviting them to try it last night. The feature lets creators offer $4.99 monthly... |
| Rotten Tomatoes tackles review-bombing by eliminating pre-release comments Posted: 26 Feb 2019 12:58 PM PST  The film-rating aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes has announced it will no longer allow users to comment on or register early anticipation for movies, following a series of coordinated attempts to sabotage the ratings on a few select upcoming films. The most recent attack was on Captain Marvel, which received a wave of negative early ratings from people complaining about the "social-justice warrior politics" of star Brie Larson. The backlash largely stems from an interview where Larson said she was tired of being interviewed by "overwhelmingly white male" journalists and that she wanted to see more opportunities for diverse voices in the field. A new blog post from Rotten Tomatoes' product team announced changes to tackle this issue.... |
| Epic is getting sued for putting the ‘Running Man’ dance in Fortnite Posted: 26 Feb 2019 12:45 PM PST  Fortnite creator Epic Games is facing yet another lawsuit over copying dance emotes without permission. Two former University of Maryland basketball players have sued the company for its "Running Man" Fortnite emote, which allegedly copies a dance they popularized in 2016. Their complaint accuses Epic of copyright infringement and violating the players' publicity rights — arguing that the publisher has "consistently sought to exploit African-American talent, in particular in Fortnite, by copying their dances and movement." Jaylen Brantley and Jared Nickens say they created the "distinctive and immediately recognizable" dance behind the "Running Man Challenge," a viral phenomenon that got Brantley and Nickens invited onto The Ellen... |
| Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 Lite phones likely just passed through the FCC Posted: 26 Feb 2019 12:01 PM PST  Just like the Pixel 3 and 3 XL before them, the upcoming, less expensive, and so-called "lite" Pixel phones from Google have been thoroughly leaked over the last few months. We know what they look like, what the hardware specs are, and have even seen some camera samples. Who wouldn't be excited about getting the Pixel 3's best-on-the-market camera in a more affordable device? But a release date (and price) for these phones still remains a mystery: Google had nothing to announce at this week's Mobile World Congress, so we might be looking at a spring launch time frame or maybe even later. Android Police has reported that they'll be available from Verizon sometime this spring. Several recent FCC filings are the latest example that things... |
| Swatch just sued Samsung over these cloned watchfaces Posted: 26 Feb 2019 11:55 AM PST  Days after Samsung revealed its new Galaxy Watch Active, the company's third-party developers now appear to have copied their downloadable smartwatch faces from Swiss watchmaker Swatch. Swatch filed for a $100 million lawsuit on Friday, and the company's complaint is filled with images of watches that appear to be dead ringers for watchfaces you can buy for the Samsung Gear Sport, Gear S3 Classic, and Frontier. You can see a few of them above and below. Swatch claims that over 30 of Samsung's watchfaces were "identical or virtually identical" to trademarks it already owned. The complaint, as spotted by Reuters, accuses Samsung of unfair business practices, and that the copied designs will mislead customers to believe that Samsung and... |
