| Man arrested for showing up at YouTube and threatening violence over deleted account Posted: 12 Mar 2019 05:44 PM PDT  A man was arrested this past Sunday after showing up to Google's Mountain View, Calif. headquarters and threatening violence over his belief that YouTube had deleted his account and the single video he had posted to it, BuzzFeed News reported today. Unfortunately for the man, 33-year-old Kyle Long, it was actually his wife who deleted the account. She then told him it was likely Google's doing because she feared how he might react. Not only that, but Long had driven all the way from Maine, more than 3,300 miles, on his mission. Long's video was apparently some type of get-rich-quick guide, a video his father, Kevin Long, characterized as "rambling" and "bizarre." According to the father, Long has a history of mental illness and run-ins... |
| YouTube Music and YouTube Premium are now available in India Posted: 12 Mar 2019 04:37 PM PDT  Google has announced that YouTube Music, YouTube Music Premium, and YouTube Premium have all launched in India. The services join Google Play Music and Google Play Movies, which arrived in India in 2017. India consumes a tremendous amount of music on YouTube already. A Nielsen report from 2018 says YouTube is the country's top source for streaming music, and Indian music label T-Series just surpassed YouTube star PewDiePie as the most subscribed channel on the entire platform for the third time, before dropping back to second place. T-Series is already the most-watched YouTube channel globally, with a combined 60 billion views across all its uploaded videos. India's current streaming revolution — the result of low-cost smartphones... |
| IBM didn’t inform people when it used their Flickr photos for facial recognition training Posted: 12 Mar 2019 04:14 PM PDT  IBM took nearly a million photos from Flickr, used them to figure out how to train facial recognition training programs, and shared them with outside researchers. But as NBC points out, the people photographed on Flickr didn't consent to having their photos used to develop facial recognition systems — and might easily not have, considering those systems could eventually be used to surveil and recognize them. While the photographers may have gotten permission to take pictures of these people, some told NBC that the people who were photographed didn't know their images had been annotated with facial recognition notes and could be used to train algorithms. "None of the people I photographed had any idea their images were being used in... |
| Elon Musk’s high-speed tunnel project in Las Vegas clears its first hurdle Posted: 12 Mar 2019 03:42 PM PDT  Elon Musk's plan to build express-route tunnels in Las Vegas received its first approval Tuesday, after the board of directors for the city's Convention and Visitors Authority voted in favor of Musk's Boring Company for a new people-mover project. The plan involves digging a loop of underground tunnels that could carry passengers in autonomous electric vehicles at high speeds. The loop would just encompass the convention center, but could be expanded to include other points in Las Vegas, such as McCarran International Airport. The Boring Company said the initial phase would cost between $35 million and $55 million The goal is to have the Boring Company's transit system fully operational in time for the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show,... |
| T-Mobile CEO challenged by lawmakers over Trump hotel stays Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:57 PM PDT  At a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday, T-Mobile CEO John Legere was questioned by lawmakers over the company's spending at the Trump hotel in Washington, DC, focusing specifically on hotel stays that occurred after its merger plans with Sprint were announced last spring. Democratic lawmakers like Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Hank Johnson (D-GA) pressed Legere on whether the company was pining for favorability from the Trump administration in order to receive approval for the merger. Lawmakers were particularly concerned after reports surfaced last week that President Trump allegedly attempted to meddle in the AT&T and Time Warner merger, and were afraid Trump may be involving himself in this new telecommunications merger... |
| Google Chrome’s dark mode is now available on Mac Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:50 PM PDT  Chrome 73 has officially rolled out to all users today, bringing with it several new improvements, including the long-awaited dark mode for macOS. ("Windows support is on the way," the release notes read.) Dark mode was first announced for Chrome last month, but today's release has made it official. It works pretty much as you'd expect: if dark mode is enabled on your computer (see here for macOS and here for Windows 10), Chrome will automatically theme itself appropriately to match, in what essentially looks like the browser's regular darker Incognito Mode menu bars. (Incognito Mode while using dark mode on Chrome looks virtually identical, save for a new icon in the menu bar.) It's technically not the first time... |
| Rolando, one of the first flagship iOS games, is getting a new remastered edition Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:44 PM PDT  The early days of the iOS App Store was a Wild West of content, but one of the biggest and best games around back then was Rolando, a puzzle platformer that was specifically built around the iPhone's (still novel at the time) touchscreen and accelerometer technology. The original game hasn't been available for years, having been lost to the ravages of time (and iOS updates), but developer HandCircus has announced today that it'll be bringing Rolando back with a new, remastered version called Rolando: Royal Edition.

| Twitter’s new beta app offers threaded replies, and it’s fine Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:38 PM PDT  In October, The Verge reported on new conversational features Twitter was testing in an effort to promote friendlier interactions on the often hostile site. Some of those features are now becoming more widely available — but only within twttr, a new public beta app that the company is using to test new features with the wider public. The Verge got access to twttr on Tuesday, and spent the past few hours reading and posting replies using the app's new threading features. The basic idea from October is still the same. In the flagship Twitter app, replies appear in a chaotic jumble. On twttr, replies are threaded in a way that might be familiar to users of Reddit. As more users interact with a tweet, additional replies are indented, giving... |
| The Vergecast discusses breaking up Facebook, Google, and Amazon at SXSW Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:32 PM PDT  How would we break up the world's most powerful companies? Live from SXSW, The Verge's Nilay Patel, Dieter Bohn, Casey Newton, and Ashley Carman discuss just how one might split up tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google. You can listen to their discussion in its entirety on The Vergecast right now. Below is a lightly edited excerpt from this interview about the complications of breaking up a giant company like Google. Nilay Patel: How would you break up Google? Dieter Bohn: So according to this rubric that Elizabeth Warren set up, if you run a platform utility, it's got to be spun off. Either the platform utility or some other part of the company stuff that's on it. So Google runs two big ass platforms that make big... |
| Microsoft’s translucent Phantom controller now comes in white Posted: 12 Mar 2019 02:28 PM PDT  To complement Microsoft's translucent Phantom Black controller for the Xbox One and PC, the company is releasing a Phantom White color option that's a good fit aesthetically for Xbox One S owners or those who picked up the Robot White edition of the Xbox One X. It will go on sale starting on April 2nd for $69.99, and preorders for the controller are open now. It follows a similar design pattern to the Phantom Black edition; now, Microsoft's really rubbing it in that it has better Xbox Design Lab tools than we do. The top half of the controller acts as a matte, textured window for you to check out the gold-colored internal components. Other than those custom tweaks to the design,... |
