| Microsoft unveils new Surface Book 2 model with Intel’s latest quad-core processor Posted: 31 Mar 2019 04:06 PM PDT  Microsoft is quietly refreshing its Surface Book 2 base model today. The software giant is introducing Intel's latest 8th Gen quad-core i5 processor for the 13-inch Surface Book 2 model, and keeping the existing dual-core 7th Gen model at a discounted price of $1,299. The refreshed quad-core model will be priced at $1,499, and includes an i5-8350U which bumps the processor's maximum boost clock speed up to 3.6GHz.

| Care.com deleted ‘tens of thousands’ of providers after report found lax vetting procedures Posted: 31 Mar 2019 02:40 PM PDT  On March 8th, The Wall Street Journal published a damning report about caregiver platform Care.com, which found that it put the burden on users to evaluate its caregivers, that it didn't conduct full background checks or vet the daycare centers that were listed on the site, and that in some instances, providers were unlicensed and even were responsible for deaths of the children in their care. In a followup report published today, the WSJ says that the company removed "tens of thousands of unverified day-care center listings" prior to the publication of that initial report. The original report found that there were "about 9 instances" in the last six years where a provider was listed on the site had a criminal record, and then committed... |
| PewDiePie takes one last shot at T-Series as he concedes defeat to YouTube’s Bollywood powerhouse Posted: 31 Mar 2019 02:24 PM PDT  Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg ended his months-long, facetious war with Bollywood powerhouse T-Series today by issuing a music video with a series of personal confessions and accusations against his rival.

Kjellberg references a Times of India article, which reported that Kumar is currently being investigated for "alleged evasion of huge tax and siphoning off hundreds of crores to foreign countries to purchase properties in the names of his employees." The Verge has reached out to T-Series for comment. Kjellberg also reveals that T-Series reportedly sent him a cease and desist letter following the release of his original... |

| The Amazon Dash button was a physical interface to digital shopping Posted: 31 Mar 2019 10:00 AM PDT  In today's digital age, it can sometimes feel like hardware has taken a back seat to the software that drives devices. Button of the Month is a column that looks at some of these buttons and switches on devices both old and new to appreciate how we interact with our devices on a physical, tactile level. Shopping on Amazon is a vastly digital experience. Until the last few years, there hasn't been a physical way to go and buy things from Amazon. For the overwhelming majority of Amazon purchases, there's still no checkout lane, no aisles to browse, no physical interactions at all — famously, the company's "One Click" software removes nearly all barriers between wanting something and buying it. Amazon's now-defunct Dash buttons — small,... |
| Jeff Bezos’ investigators believe ‘with high confidence’ that Saudi Arabia accessed his phone Posted: 31 Mar 2019 09:20 AM PDT  Following the revelation that the The National Enquirer had obtained intimate texts and images between Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanches, Bezos ordered an investigation into who was behind the data breach. In a post on The Daily Beast, Bezos' security consultant Gavin De Becker says that his team of investigators have "concluded with high confidence that the Saudis had access to Bezos' phone," although he says that they haven't been able to to link that access with the data that the Enquirer claimed to have. In February, Bezos released a remarkable post on Medium, saying that Enquirer and its parent company, AMI, had attempted to extort and blackmail him with images that he had texted to a woman with which he was having an... |
| These stunning drone photos really put humanity in its place Posted: 31 Mar 2019 09:00 AM PDT It may be a cliché, but drone photography really does offer a new perspective on the world. Winners of the 2018 Aerial Photo and Video Contest from SkyPixel (an online photo-sharing community owned by Chinese drone maker DJI) show how. The pictures and videos put architecture, nature, and humanity on display from unexpected heights and angles. The resulting imagery is stunning, and might make you rethink your place in the world. Just consider it for a second. Where are you standing or sitting right now? What would it look like if you could see yourself from a distance? What surrounds you? This year's winning photo in SkyPixel's contest was taken by Deryk Baumgärtner using a Mavic Pro (above). It's typically beautiful, showing the... |
