| Elon Musk says the SEC is making an ‘unconstitutional power grab’ over his tweets Posted: 11 Mar 2019 06:45 PM PDT  Elon Musk says he shouldn't be held in contempt of court over a recent tweet about Tesla because he didn't violate his settlement agreement, and "there is no basis to issue contempt sanctions against him," according to a new court filing. The filing says Musk "correctly used his discretion to determine" that a tweet on February 19th "did not contain information that could reasonably be considered material" to Tesla. The tweets in question are better understood as "proud and optimistic restatement of publicly disclosed information," the filing says. The filing also notes that Musk's tweets about yearly Tesla production came after the close of market. Further, Musk has attempted to comply with the settlement by tweeting less — showing that... |
| Google confirms it agreed to pay $135 million to two execs accused of sexual harassment Posted: 11 Mar 2019 05:35 PM PDT  Google agreed to pay $135 million to two former executives accused of sexual harassment, it confirmed to The Verge today. We now know from a newly unsealed lawsuit that former senior search vice president Amit Singhal was initially offered $45 million, triple the amount he ended up walking away with. The figure was first reported by CNBC, which spotted a newly unsealed shareholder lawsuit against the company. According to the suit, former head of Android Andy Rubin allegedly received an offer for a $150 million stock grant, which he then allegedly used to negotiate the $90 million in severance pay we'd heard about in previous reports. Singhal's $45 million offer was reduced to $15 million because he joined a rival company, Uber. Google... |
| Facebook proves Elizabeth Warren’s point by deleting her ads about breaking up Facebook Posted: 11 Mar 2019 04:05 PM PDT  Today, Facebook removed a number of ads placed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign, according to Politico. The ads target tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook and were placed after Warren announced last week that she would work to break up the firms by reversing large acquisitions, if elected president in 2020. Shortly after reports surfaced, Facebook told Politico that it would be restoring the ads that it had taken down. "We removed the ads because they violated our policies against use of our corporate logo. In the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads," a Facebook spokesperson said.

| Mophie’s Palm battery pack may be the most niche charging accessory ever made Posted: 11 Mar 2019 03:09 PM PDT  The Palm phone is not a good phone. It is not a good replacement of a phone. But it is now a phone to join an incredible rare club: it now has a $59.95 Mophie Juice Pack battery case, making it the only device to get a custom case from the accessory company other than an Apple or Samsung phone. Now I get why someone who actually bought a Palm phone would want a Mophie case for a Palm phone — the device itself has just an 800mAh battery, delivering battery life that my colleague Dieter Bohn best described as "downright atrocious." At 900mAh, the Mophie Juice Pack for the Palm phone is actually larger than the one in the phone, so it... |
| Amazon silently ends controversial pricing agreements with sellers Posted: 11 Mar 2019 02:55 PM PDT  Amazon will no longer require third-party sellers to price their products on Amazon lower than they price them anywhere else. It quietly eliminated a clause in its contracts today that critics have called anti-competitive. Price parity agreements, or most-favored nations clauses (MFNs), were formerly used by Amazon in contracts with third-party sellers to ensure that people selling products on the platform did not sell the same products for cheaper on any other platform like eBay or Alibaba. Amazon declined to comment. A few years ago, regulators in Germany and Great Britain investigated this practice and it was dropped in Europe. The threat of regulation or impending investigations might be at fault for causing Amazon to drop MFNs in... |
| John Oliver wants to fight robocalls by robocalling the FCC Posted: 11 Mar 2019 02:19 PM PDT  Comedian John Oliver is fed up with robocalls and the Federal Communications Commission not doing enough about them — so he's sent robocalls after the FCC in revenge. Oliver announced on HBO's Last Week Tonight yesterday that he's going to send robocalls to the five FCC commissioners — Ajit Pai, Michael O'Rielly, Brendan Carr, Jessica Rosenworcel, and Geoffrey Starks — every 90 minutes to hopefully annoy the FCC into taking action. Oliver notes that it only took his tech guy 15 minutes to set it up. The repeating call goes:

| The RED Hydrogen One’s promised modules have gone missing from its website Posted: 11 Mar 2019 02:00 PM PDT  One of the biggest things that could have redeemed the RED Hydrogen One was the promise of additional modules that would attach to the back and offer expanded experiences for using the phone. The modules were originally promised for a release later in 2019, but the company seems to have quietly updated its website to strike all mention of the modules, (as spotted by Reddit user u/ReipasTietokonePoju). RED hasn't formally confirmed that it is actually canceling the modules for the Hydrogen One. (We've reached out for comment but have yet to hear back from the company.) There's also been no comment from RED founder Jim Jannard (or any other RED employees) in the H4VUser Hydrogen One forum regarding the vanishing drawings, despite a forum... |
| Tim Berners-Lee says we can still save the web Posted: 11 Mar 2019 02:00 PM PDT  The World Wide Web is 30 years old tomorrow. A day earlier, its founder, English engineer and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, first proposed the system that would become the WWW on March 11th, 1989. To acknowledge the anniversary, he's revisited his ideas about the internet in a new letter published today. Berners-Lee admits that the internet now has a lot of problems. Users are plagued by online harassment, state-sponsored hacks, and other criminal behavior. Ad-based revenue models reward clickbait, while there is a constant viral spread of fake news. And even though they can be rewarding, social media platforms have also become home to political outrage and polarizing conversations. Still, Berners-Lee is hopeful about humans' and... |
| Instagram founders say selling to Facebook didn’t reduce competition among social networks Posted: 11 Mar 2019 01:54 PM PDT  Talk of regulating Silicon Valley has dominated this year's SXSW festival in Austin, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) pledge to break up Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook becoming a topic of conversation in almost every high-profile, tech-focused panel here. A sit-down with Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger this afternoon was no exception. The entrepreneurs sold their company to Facebook, worked there for years, then abruptly left last September amid reported concerns over their autonomy and the future direction of the photo-sharing social network. Additionally, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week announced a new, privacy-focused shift for the company that would see its disparate messaging products combined to... |
| Dark mode comes out of beta in Slack’s latest update for iOS and Android Posted: 11 Mar 2019 01:41 PM PDT  Following its arrival in a beta release over the weekend, the workplace chat app Slack has released a dark mode feature in the latest app update for iOS and Android, which should be rolling out now. Toggling the setting will switch the app's default white background to black. Regardless of your reason for wanting a dark mode in Slack (it's easier on the eyes, it can help to save battery life, and really, it just looks good and you fervently want every app you use to adopt it), people who use Slack on mobile should be able to realize the dream as soon as the update hits your phone. To turn on the feature, the obvious first step is to make sure that you have the latest version of Slack (version 19.3.1.0-B-9754-1). While my colleague Chaim... |
