| Carriers selling your location to bounty hunters: It was worse than we thought Posted: 06 Feb 2019 06:05 PM PST  Remember last month, when we learned that AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint had not immediately fulfilled their promises to stop selling the real-time location of your phone to shady third-parties, and a black market had sprung up to meet the demands of even shadier individuals who might like to know where you are? Well, Motherboard is doubling down on the investigation that revealed these things, and today it's reporting that the scandal may be larger than we thought. You'll probably want to take a look at their full story, but the gist is this: until late 2017, a second-hand data broker called LocationSmart sold data to a third-hand data broker known as CerCareOne, which in turn let as many as 250 bounty hunters and bail bondsman find an AT&T,... |
| LG confirms the G8 ThinQ will have a 3D front camera for face unlock Posted: 06 Feb 2019 05:41 PM PST  LG's next flagship hasn't been announced yet, but as ever, the company likes to drip-feed nuggets of information about it in the lead-up to the full reveal. Today, we've learned that it will indeed be called the G8 ThinQ, and it'll include a time-of-flight sensor as part of its front-facing camera array. (That likely explains the recent supposed render that showed two cameras in the phone's display notch.) ToF sensors work by bouncing infrared light off subjects and can be used for 3D object recognition. This allows for secure face unlock and more accurate background blur in selfie portraits, as well as potentially having various AR applications. The sensor in the G8 ThinQ is Infineon's REAL3 chip. LG isn't saying much about how it'll be... |
| Google probably won’t pull DWI checkpoints from Waze despite NYPD demand Posted: 06 Feb 2019 04:03 PM PST  The New York Police Department has sent a letter to Google demanding that it remove drunk-driving checkpoints from its Waze navigation app, as Streetsblog NYC and CBS New York reported earlier today. In the letter, the NYPD writes that "the posting of such information for public consumption is irresponsible since it only serves to aid impaired and intoxicated drivers to evade checkpoints and encourage reckless driving." Reached for comment over email, a Google spokesperson responded in a way that makes it clear the NYPD will need to do a bit more to convince Google to pull the DWI checkpoints:

| China is worried an AI arms race could lead to accidental war Posted: 06 Feb 2019 04:00 PM PST  Experts and politicians in China are worried that a rush to integrate artificial intelligence into weapons and military equipment could accidentally lead to war between nations. According to a new report published by US national security think tank Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Chinese officials increasingly see an "arms race" dynamic in AI as a threat to global peace. As countries scramble to reap the benefits of artificial intelligence in various domains, including the military, the fear is that international norms shaping how countries communicate will become outdated, leading to confusion and potential conflict. "The specific scenario described to me [by one anonymous Chinese official] is unintentional escalation... |
| Big-name travel apps may secretly record your iPhone screen, including credit card info Posted: 06 Feb 2019 03:55 PM PST  A number of popular airline, hotel, and retail apps engage in the practice of recording your iPhone screen without your knowledge or consent, according to an investigation from TechCrunch. The practice, known as session replaying, typically involves hiring a third-party firm, in this case the analytics firm Glassbox, to embed the technology into a mobile app. From there, Glassbox's software records every action you take within the app, as well as taking screenshots along the way. Even worse is that, for apps like Air Canada's and other travel sites, this includes the fields where users input sensitive information like passport numbers, credit card numbers, and other financial and personal information. According to TechCrunch, none of... |
| GoPro turns its first profit since 2017, thanks to the Hero 7 Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:55 PM PST  A very strong holiday season for GoPro's newest Hero 7 lineup of cameras has helped the camera maker turn its first quarterly profit since the third quarter of 2017, the company announced on Wednesday. GoPro pulled in $377 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of last year, and it walked away with a $32 million profit. This marks the second time GoPro has turned a profit since the third quarter of 2015, back before the company's ill-fated attempt at entering the drone market. The company also announced that it will move its US-bound camera production from China to Guadalajara, Mexico, in the second quarter of this year. The company announced in December that it was moving... |
| Tinder added more than 1 million subscribers last year Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:30 PM PST  Tinder is still unstoppable. Match Group, Tinder's parent company, announced its fourth quarter earnings today, in which it disclosed that Tinder added 1.2 million subscribers last year alone. That surge led the brand to close the year out with $805 million in revenue. That's nearly as much as what the rest of Match's dating brands, which include Match.com and OkCupid, pull in combined at $872 million. Match says most of Tinder's revenue growth is thanks to Tinder Gold, which gives members certain limited features like more Super Likes per day, the ability to swipe around the world, and insight into who's already liked them. Tinder has also made it a goal to focus on a younger demographic of 18 to 22-year-olds through Tinder U, the... |
| Spotify, the leading music streaming app, is finally profitable Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:08 PM PST  Spotify is about to try to become a podcasting giant with two new acquisitions — and we have some suggestions for that — but first, it's crossing an important milestone with its music streaming business. Today, for the very first time, the company is reporting that it's turned a profit. That's right: some 13 years and 96 million paid subscribers later, Spotify is finally making money. Unless you count that one time a complicated tax situation technically threw it into the black. "[F]or the first time in company history, Operating Income, Net Income, and Free Cash Flow were all positive," reads a portion of Spotify's financial announcement this morning. Specifically, the company made an operating profit of €94 million, or about $107... |
| Canon EOS RP leak reveals much lighter, smaller full-frame mirrorless camera Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:08 PM PST  Not long after its release of the EOS R camera, Canon is already nearing the launch of a second full-frame mirrorless camera. The EOS RP has been revealed in a series of images posted on Nokishita today. Unlike rivals Sony, Nikon, and, most recently, Panasonic, which each offer a pair of identical-looking cameras, Canon is giving the EOS RP a unique design that's significantly smaller and lighter than the R. The EOS RP reportedly weighs just 1.07 pounds compared to the 1.45-pound R. That's definitely a difference you'll feel and appreciate when carrying the camera around. It measures 132.5 x 85.0 x 70.0mm against the R's 136 x 98 x 84mm, so, again, you can see how much Canon has been able to shave off of the newer camera. This... |
| After making history, NASA’s tiny deep-space satellites go silent Posted: 06 Feb 2019 01:01 PM PST  The first two tiny satellites to ever go interplanetary have fallen silent in deep space for some unknown reason, and it's likely we may never hear from them again. But for NASA, which launched the probes last year, this loss of communication isn't considered a failure. Before the pair went quiet, these vehicles demonstrated that tiny satellites could become critical tools for exploring other worlds deep within our Solar System. The silent satellites are the two MarCO probes — nicknamed EVE and WALL-E from Pixar's sci-fi movie — which flew to Mars along with NASA's InSight lander last year. Both MarCOs are modified CubeSats, a type of standardized small satellite about the size of a cereal box used for space research. Before the InSight... |
