| Juul’s imitators are copying the popular vape’s high nicotine levels Posted: 08 Feb 2019 05:34 PM PST  The popularity of Juul and its high-nicotine pods is driving up nicotine levels across the vaping industry in what Stanford researchers are calling a "nicotine arms race," according to a new study. The findings back up suspicions that Juul's competitors are watching the vaping giant closely to capitalize on the largely unregulated multi-billion-dollar e-cigarette market. Researchers with Stanford Research Into the Impact of Tobacco Advertising investigated the nicotine levels that Juul imitators advertised. They looked at pods compatible with Juul devices or Juul-like knockoffs, as well as e-juice bottles for refillable pods and vapes. Their study, published Wednesday in the journal Tobacco Control and first covered by CNN, reports that... |
| Warner Bros. is planning an Aquaman horror spin-off set in The Trench Posted: 08 Feb 2019 03:12 PM PST  According to a Hollywood Reporter exclusive, Warner Bros. is making plans for a spin-off to its billion-dollar hit Aquaman — in the form of a modestly budgeted horror movie with none of the original main cast involved. The film, set around the underwater kingdom known as The Trench, would be produced by Aquaman's director, James Wan, and its co-producer, Peter Safran, who has a long production history on horror films like The Conjuring and many of its spin-offs. Details are limited, but The Hollywood Reporter says Warner Bros. has commissioned a screenplay from Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald, two former employees of J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company. While the immediate description of "an Aquaman movie without Jason Momoa,... |
| Rep. Devin Nunes repeated a 4chan meme on national television Posted: 08 Feb 2019 01:50 PM PST  Last night on Laura Ingraham's show, The Ingraham Angle, a strange thing happened (stranger than usual, I mean). Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) stopped by for an interview, ostensibly to talk about Rep. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) latest actions regarding the ongoing Russia probe. "This is clearly an investigation again, without a crime. We've looked for two years — didn't find anything, at all," Nunes said, which is misleading at best. He went on to speak about the "cottage industry" of press people who are following the case and reporting it, so the public has an idea of what goes on behind closed doors. Nunes sounded offended when he reported to the Capitol for what was, in his words, a routine meeting, and he saw many camera people waiting for him... |
| Amazon copies brick-and-mortar stores by launching a new home shopping channel Posted: 08 Feb 2019 01:29 PM PST  Amazon is taking another page out of the brick-and-mortar playbook, this time by launching its own shopping channel to promote products on the platform called Amazon Live, as first spotted by TechCrunch. The copying of physical stores' strategies may be extra stinging to retailers because Amazon controls about half of the United States' e-commerce market, ahead of more traditional stores like Best Buy, Macy's, and Walmart. On the list of companies that Amazon has crushed in market share is QVC Group, which broadcasts its own shows where hosts chat about available products, making it easy for people to watch along and buy. Amazon is now mirroring this approach with live streams available on its site and through a new app called Amazon... |
| A new Stranger Things tie-in novel will explore the origins of Chief Hopper Posted: 08 Feb 2019 01:23 PM PST  Earlier this week, the first official Stranger Things tie-in novel hit stores, providing some detail on events that led up to the TV series. Now, Netflix has announced a second canonical prequel novel about Chief Jim Hopper, Darkness on the Edge of Town, which will come out this summer, just before the show's third season begins streaming in July. The book will be written by Adam Christopher, who wrote in a blog post that the story will come out on June 4th, and it will follow Hopper during his time "as a homicide detective in New York City, 1977." In its tweet, Netflix provided some additional details: "when Eleven gets curious about unanswered questions, Hopper is forced to reckon with some long-buried secrets." |
| Google is hiring a VP of engineering for wearables, but what does that really mean? Posted: 08 Feb 2019 12:05 PM PST  Last night, Android Police caught two new job listings at Google: "Vice President, Hardware Engineering, Wearables" and "Wearables Design Manager, Consumer Hardware." Given the sorry state of Wear OS smartwatches, everybody has their fingers crossed that this finally means that Google is getting serious about doing something to improve its smartwatch offering — specifically, by making one itself. It's certainly a reasonable conclusion to jump to. There are lots of clues you could put together that seem to add up to Google working on its own hardware for a smartwatch: this job, for one, along with Google's overall strategy of making its own hardware as touchstone devices that teach the rest of the Android (and Chrome and Google... |
| Save on Apple’s latest iPad and MacBook Air, DualShock 4 controllers, and more today Posted: 08 Feb 2019 11:46 AM PST  The two biggest discounts of the day are both Apple products: the 2018 iPad and MacBook Air. These are notable deals, not just because Apple gear rarely gets a discount worth talking about, but also because what's on sale is worth buying if you're in the market. If you're not, we've added a few other deals below that we think are worth checking out. The latest iPad tablet with 128GB of storage usually retails for $429.99, though it's now down to $329.99 at Amazon. This beats the cheapest price that we saw during Black Friday 2018 by $20, and is likely the cheapest that we'll see this tablet run for until its successor releases this year. The Verge's review of the sixth-gen iPad calls it the best tablet available under $500, and for a... |
| Senator introduces a bill to legalize marijuana and it’s called S.420 Posted: 08 Feb 2019 11:33 AM PST  A new bill introduced in the Senate today would legalize weed, and it's not just the text of the bill that's a nod to marijuana culture. The bill, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), is labeled with a conspicuous number: S.420. The new bill would give the Drug Enforcement Administration 60 days to remove the drug from its list of controlled substances, while also barring the sale of marijuana in states where it's still illegal. S.420 would also require merchants to add an excise tax to marijuana, an indirect tax that's added to the price of the product, similar to how tobacco and alcohol are taxed. The bill would also require businesses to register for special permits to start selling weed. Cannabis products would also face labeling... |
| Play this simple design game to test your UI knowledge Posted: 08 Feb 2019 11:13 AM PST  Can't Unsee is a web-based game that presents two choices of iOS interface designs, and asks the user a simple question: Which one is more correct? There are three rounds that ramp up in difficulty, asking you to pick between two mock-ups presented side by side that start out with design choices that seem obviously wrong, but then escalate to images that are nearly indistinguishable. Created by software engineer Alex Kotliarskyi with product designer Amanda Hum, it's a game of "spot the differences," but only one of the choices is the right one. Of course, what makes something good is subjective, but most of the answers are based on universally accepted design traits like even spacing between text blocks and consistent capitalization.... |
| Let’s all watch the Wisconsin local news desperately try to get answers about Foxconn Posted: 08 Feb 2019 11:11 AM PST  No one knows what's happening with Foxconn's promised factory in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin (my hometown!) after conflicting reports surfaced last week that construction was on hold, then not on hold, on hold again, and then maybe back on track after Trump personally called Foxconn CEO Terry Gou. We've been tracking the story closely, Bloomberg Businessweek just ran a cover story about it, and there's a great Reply All episode about it as well. It's... well, it's a mess. But nothing quite captures the insanity like this tremendous report from Terry Sater at WISN 12 in Milwaukee. Here are some things it contains:
