| Once again, Apple isn’t following its own advertising rules Posted: 27 Mar 2019 05:55 PM PDT  Why won't Apple follow its own rules? That's the question running through my mind right now, as I write a post for The Verge about how — for the fourth time in four months — Apple is promoting its own content in ways that are forbidden to Apple's own developers. The last three times, Apple sent people unwanted push notifications promoting Apple Music and Carpool Karaoke, as well as Apple Music on Amazon Echo. Apple News Plus, the company's new magazine (and news) subscription service, is the latest offender because of how easy Apple makes it to subscribe: Just tap that "Try it Free" button, confirm your payment, and you're off to the races. Thing is, Apple forbids developers from making things seem... |
| Tesla changes return policy after Elon Musk’s contradictory tweets Posted: 27 Mar 2019 05:19 PM PDT  Tesla has changed its return policy after CEO Elon Musk tweeted contradictory statements about how it works. The company told The Verge that the change was already in the works on Wednesday in response to questions about the tweet. Buyers will now be able to return a car within seven days (or before 1,000 miles) for a full refund regardless of whether or not they have taken a test drive with the company, contrary to the language that was on the company's website before Wednesday. Musk tweeted Wednesday that customers can return one of Tesla's cars after seven days for a full refund, regardless of whether they've gotten a test ride or demo from the company. That claim seemingly clashed with Tesla's official return policy, though, which... |
| Twitch’s new Squad Stream feature will let four creators go live in the same screen Posted: 27 Mar 2019 03:41 PM PDT  Twitch today announced a new feature designed to help creators boost the profile of smaller streamers on the platform and to better collaborate with one another. The feature, called Squad Streams, will let up to four Twitch streamers go live simultaneously in one window, making it easier for viewers to watch the action from four different angles and giving bigger channels the opportunity not just to host smaller creators, but to share their screen with the audience, too. The Squad Stream builds on existing discoverability features, like raiding and hosting, that have let large creators spotlight others by either sending a wave of viewers directly to their channel of choice or by directly mirroring someone else's stream so that it gets... |
| Apple Watch EKG features now available in Europe with watchOS 5.2 update Posted: 27 Mar 2019 03:07 PM PDT  Apple is enabling its electrocardiogram (EKG) reading feature for Apple Watch Series 4 owners in Europe and Hong Kong today. The iPhone maker previously launched the EKG feature in the US in December, after making it a big part of the Apple Watch Series 4 that was originally introduced back in September. Apple is delivering the EKG functionality to regions outside of the US with its latest watchOS 5.2 update, including 19 countries in Europe and Hong Kong. Apple Watch Series 4 owners will be able to enable the EKG reading through the Health app on their iPhones. To take an EKG, you open up the EKG app on the Watch and the rest your index finger on the crown. The Apple Watch then records an EKG and your heart rhythm and stores it in the... |
| Sundar Pichai met with President Trump about Google’s ‘commitment to working with the US government’ Posted: 27 Mar 2019 01:42 PM PDT  On Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai met with President Trump to discuss contracts and other ongoing partnerships with the US government. "I just met with Sundar Pichai, President of Google, who is obviously doing quite well," President Trump tweeted after the meeting. "He stated strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. Military, not the Chinese Military. [We] also discussed political fairness and various things that Google can do for our Country. Meeting ended very well!" Sundar Pichai is CEO of Google, which uses "president" as a lower rank in its corporate structure. The company has four regional presidents, all of whom report to Pichai. Additionally, Sergey Brin serves as president of Alphabet, Google's parent company. We... |
| Apple Arcade wants to slay the free-to-play monster iOS helped create Posted: 27 Mar 2019 01:37 PM PDT  Apple has created a monster. Free-to-play games have taken over the iOS App Store almost entirely, creating a marketplace that is dominated by scammy timers and cheap monetization schemes, one that no amount of quality game design, curation, and promotion have been able to fix. But now (after years of profiting off this system), Apple is here with the alleged cure: Apple Arcade. Apple Arcade promises dozens of high-quality, premium games which will solely focus on entertainment or art, not on squeezing money out of players — the sort of games that have struggled to find a place in the modern app store economy. No ads, no lockout timers, no in-app purchases, no always-on... |
| A new Star Wars audio-only novel will explore Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress’ backstory Posted: 27 Mar 2019 01:08 PM PDT  Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars novel today: Dooku: Jedi Lost, written by Cavan Scott, which will explore the backstory of Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress and Count Dooku. There are plenty of Star Wars novels out there, but this one is different — it's an audio-only novel. Over the years, Lucasfilm and its publishing partner Del Rey have built up a track record for producing some of the best audiobook experiences out there. They have access to a huge library of sounds and music from the Star Wars franchise, and work them into the story alongside the narration, enhancing the story in ways that are unusual for audiobooks. The story will follow Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress as she works to uncover... |
| Sony celebrates 4.2 million PSVRs sold — or about twice as many Sega CD accessories Posted: 27 Mar 2019 12:59 PM PDT  Earlier this week, Sony celebrated a (somewhat arbitrary) milestone for PSVR: 4.2 million headsets sold. It sure sounds like a lot, but if you put it in comparison to other excessively publicized console accessories, like the Sega CD or the Kinect motion camera for the Xbox 360, it's a far less impressive achievement, as noted today by Ars Technica. There are two important numbers to look at for the PSVR (or any accessory): how many units it's sold, and what percentage of total console owners have bought it, otherwise known as the attach rate. In the PSVR's case, Sony has already told us that sales have reached 4.2 million, compared to the 94.2 million PS4 consoles sold as of February 2019. That translates to roughly 4.4 percent of PS4... |
| Cloak & Dagger’s power creep is a problem for season 2 Posted: 27 Mar 2019 12:43 PM PDT  Spoilers ahead for season 1 of Cloak & Dagger. Most superhero shows falter in their second season. First seasons are driven by origin stories, letting writers introduce the heroes and signature villains, and exploring the pleasures and perils that come from their power. But once evil has been punished and a crisis averted, the question is "What's next?" Should the showrunners bring back the same threat and escalate it, or introduce a new one? Do the stakes need to be increased now that the heroes are no longer novices? And if so, will the good guys need to become even more powerful to face what's next? Every potential answer to those questions has its own pitfalls, and unfortunately, Cloak & Dagger seems to be struggling with how to... |
| Alexa’s chief scientist thinks the assistant needs a robot body to understand the world Posted: 27 Mar 2019 12:29 PM PDT  Amazon's Rohit Prasad, head scientist and an instrumental member of the Alexa division, says the company's personal software assistant would be far smarter if it had a robot body and cameras to move around in the real world. Prasad, speaking at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital AI conference in San Francisco yesterday, said, "The only way to make smart assistants really smart is to give it eyes and let it explore the world." Some Alexa-enabled smart devices already have cameras. But a robot body would be new. Prasad's comments suggest that work could be in service of one day giving Alexa a body — although he wouldn't confirm this directly. Prasad works on natural language processing and other machine learning capabilities for Alexa,... |
