| Looks like Google’s thinking about a folding screen of its own Posted: 14 Mar 2019 04:27 PM PDT  A recent patent application filed by Google suggests the search giant is experimenting with foldable display technology, similar to the panels seen on the Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold. The filing, spotted by Patently Mobile, describes a method for constructing an OLED panel that can be bent repeatedly and used in a "modern computing device." What's interesting here is that Google doesn't produce any displays of its own, and isn't the kind of company that manufacturers its own handsets. Like Apple with its iPhones, Google reportedly outsources manufacturing of the Pixel 3 to Foxconn, and both HTC and LG shared manufacturing duties on the Pixel 2 phones. That doesn't mean it's impossible for a product based on this patent to see... |
| ‘Privacy matters’ in Apple’s latest iPhone ad Posted: 14 Mar 2019 02:46 PM PDT  Privacy has always been a big part of Apple's marketing pitch, and the company is bringing that point home once again in its latest iPhone ad, which boldly declares "Privacy. That's iPhone," via MacRumors. "If privacy matters in your life, it should matter to the phone your life is on," says the commercial, as it flips through a wide range of privacy-related scenarios, including "keep out" signs, people avoiding eavesdroppers at diners, window locks, curtains, and padlocks. It's a similar approach to the massive billboard that Apple bought at CES 2019 earlier this year, declaring "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone," in a veiled shot at competitors like Google that were presenting just across... |
| New facial recognition bill would require consent before companies could share data Posted: 14 Mar 2019 02:40 PM PDT  A new bill introduced in the Senate today would prohibit commercial companies using facial recognition technology from sharing people's data without their explicit consent. The bipartisan Commercial Facial Recognition Privacy Act is sponsored by Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) and is the first of its kind when it comes to facial recognition (FR) technologies and the privacy concerns surrounding them. Under the bill, users would need to be notified whenever their FR data is used. According to the lawmakers, it also would require third-party testing before the tech could be introduced into the market to ensure it is unbiased and doesn't harm consumers. "Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is being... |
| Turtle Beach is buying PC gaming accessory brand Roccat for $19.2 million Posted: 14 Mar 2019 01:53 PM PDT  Turtle Beach is known for gaming headsets, but it'll soon be adding an entirely new roster of PC gaming peripherals to its catalog: it's purchasing Roccat, a fine purveyor of mice, keyboards, mouse pads, and headsets, for $19.2 million in cash, stock, and earn-out payments, according to the press release. These days, Turtle Beach is known more for value rather than quality, so Roccat will probably be a valuable, higher-end brand that the company can take advantage of. We wouldn't expect to see the respected Roccat name disappear anytime soon. But now might be a good time to pour one out for the idea of a successful indie peripheral brand to go it on their own. Turtle Beach and Roccat joining forces is just the latest example in a larger... |
| After the porn ban, Tumblr users have ditched the platform as promised Posted: 14 Mar 2019 01:37 PM PDT  Since Tumblr announced its porn ban in December, many users reacted by explaining that they mainly used the site for browsing not-safe-for-work content, and they threatened to leave the platform if the ban were enforced. It now appears that many users have made good on that threat: Tumblr's traffic has dropped nearly 30 percent since December. Tumblr's global traffic in December clocked in at 521 million, but it had dropped to 370 million by February, web analytics firm SimilarWeb tells The Verge. Statista reports a similar trend in the number of unique visitors. By January 2019, only over 437 million visited Tumblr, compared to a high of 642 million visitors in July 2018. The ban removed explicit posts from public view, including any... |
| Facebook is losing two top executives after the company’s privacy pivot Posted: 14 Mar 2019 01:32 PM PDT  Facebook is losing two of its top executives, Chris Cox and Chris Daniels, who served as the company's chief product officer and the head of WhatsApp, respectively. The departures come just a week after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced plans to reshape the company around private messaging apps and after a year of wide-scale privacy scandals. Cox has been with Facebook for more than a decade and currently oversees the company's core suite of apps. The heads of all of Facebook's most important teams — Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook itself — all report to him. He'd been floated as the next CEO, should Zuckerberg ever step away. Last year, Recode called him "Facebook's most important executive not named Mark Zuckerberg." |
| Facebook owes us an explanation Posted: 14 Mar 2019 01:21 PM PDT  Yesterday, somewhere in the sixth hour of Facebook's record outage, I sat dumbfounded alongside my fellow editors at The Verge. We wondered how it was possible that the largest and most influential technology company in the world could have a day-long service disruption and basically say nothing about it except for a curt and cryptic tweet. Facebook eventually said that the outage was the result of a "server configuration change" — an impenetrable combination of words that translates to "we played ourselves." The company wasn't being attacked, so why not just come clean early? The Verge, The New York Times, and others tried to get more information out of Facebook when following up for comment. After Facebook issued its statement today,... |
| Police in India arrested ten students for playing PUBG Posted: 14 Mar 2019 12:32 PM PDT  Police in India arrested ten college students after they were caught playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on mobile. Gujarat, a western state in the country, banned the game last week over concerns that it's too addicting and violent. The students were released on bail later today. The students were apparently "so engrossed" in the game that they didn't look up and notice police approaching to arrest them, one cop told local media. PUBG is still legal in the rest of India, but Gujarat singled out the game after parents and educators complained that the game was too violent and distracted students from studying. In February, a local minister in Gujarat described it as "a demon in every house," according to The Times of India. And even as... |
| Garmin’s $1,500-plus Marq GPS smartwatches take on the luxury watch world Posted: 14 Mar 2019 12:25 PM PDT  Garmin is taking its fitness-focused smartwatches in a more premium direction with its new Marq line. It's a series of luxury watches that will cost between $1,500 to $2,500, and they are targeting the high-end watch market that might ordinarily spring for an upscale mechanical watch like a Rolex, Breitling, or Omega instead. To that end, Garmin is releasing five smartwatches in the Marq line, each is meant to fill a different role where traditional timepieces would typically live, including driving, piloting a plane, boating, and hiking. Garmin's also following in the footsteps of companies like Tag Heuer and Louis Vuitton by offering the build quality, materials, and price of a high-end... |
| Satellite images show the nightmare bomb cyclone whirling across the US Posted: 14 Mar 2019 12:18 PM PDT  The bomb cyclone that pummeled Colorado and killed a state trooper on Wednesday is now traveling east, unleashing snow, rain, and powerful winds through the midwest today. It's a "historic March blizzard," the National Weather Service says — and satellites have captured eerie views of the storm from space. It's called a "bomb cyclone" because of the rapid drop in pressure at the center of the storm, according to Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center. If a storm's pressure drops by more than 24 millibars over 24 hours, then it qualifies. "And that definitely happened," Francis says. Readings in Colorado on Wednesday showed pressure drops of over 30 millibars, according to Denver's CBS4. It's strange to... |
