| Elizabeth Warren takes on Amazon at Long Island City campaign event Posted: 08 Mar 2019 05:37 PM PST  Friday morning, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) vowed that, if elected president in 2020, she would break up tech behemoths like Amazon, Facebook, and Google. Only a few hours later, she arrived in Long Island City in New York City to pitch her proposal to a community that recently felt threatened by one of those companies. "Hello, Long Island City," Warren shouted to the crowd. "I understand that you've had a visitor." "Amazon came. Amazon left," she continued. "That is the problem in America today. We have these giant tech companies that think they rule the earth." Over 1,000 people weathered the cold to hear Warren's proposal. She came out swinging at Amazon, and the crowd hollered and applauded as she called out the company for acting... |
| No, Spotify and Amazon aren’t suing songwriters Posted: 08 Mar 2019 03:26 PM PST  Musicians, producers and songwriters are rallying against Spotify and Amazon's plans to "sue songwriters" over increased streaming royalties. But the outrage stems from some misinformation: Spotify and Amazon aren't technically suing songwriters — they're trying to appeal the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decision last year to increase payout rates to songwriters by 44% over the next five years, as reported by Variety. The CRB ruling made in January of last year, which sided with the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and the Nashville Songwriters' Association International, was just published this February, and it opened up an opportunity for companies to appeal the decision for a 30-day window. Now, Spotify, Google,... |
| Foursquare’s founder really wants to know if his new phone-tracking feature is creepy or not Posted: 08 Mar 2019 02:55 PM PST  When you walk into a restaurant at this year's SXSW, Foursquare's new Hypertrending feature will know. Your phone will show up as a blip on a live map that literally anyone in Austin, Texas can access. And Foursquare founder and executive chairman Dennis Crowley just really wants to know: do you think that idea is creepy, or no? "If this freaks people out, we don't build stuff with it," Crowley told TechCrunch, talking past the fact that he's apparently already done so at SXSW. Mind you, Hypertrending is anonymous in the sense that no one should be able to pin down exactly who's inside a restaurant or bar. It's designed to let other Foursquare users see which establishments are popular, but more visually than Foursquare's trending... |
| The US arrests alleged leader of $3.7 billion cryptocurrency pyramid scheme Posted: 08 Mar 2019 02:30 PM PST  Authorities have arrested one leader on Wednesday of a cryptocurrency project called OneCoin, which prosecutors allege was in fact a pyramid scheme rather than a functional currency. Konstantin Ignatov was arrested on a wire fraud conspiracy charge, while his older sister, Ruja Ignatova, has been indicted for money laundering, and wire and securities fraud, in a document unsealed yesterday. Ignatova is currently at large. OneCoin, a Bulgaria-based company, was founded in 2014 and still has operations running today, according to the indictment. The company gave users a commission if they could convince others to buy OneCoin cryptocurrency, taking the familiar shape of a multi-level marketing scheme. It claimed to have over 3 million... |
| Snapchat’s founding being turned into The Social Network-style series Posted: 08 Mar 2019 02:10 PM PST  The story of how Evan Spiegel came to create Snapchat is being turned into a short-form video series by Quibi, an upcoming short-form streaming service designed for mobile users that's set to launch next year. Quibi's name stands for "quick bites," so all the show's episodes will be less than 10 minutes in length. Quibi co-founders Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former CEO of DreamWorks, and Meg Whitman, the former CEO of HP, announced the series during a South by Southwest panel today. Called Frat Boy Genius, the series will be based on a screenplay that made last year's Black List of best unproduced films. It "follows a disgruntled employee of Snapchat who tells the story about the rise of her former Stanford classmate, 'preeminent douchebag... |
| Google reports zero-day exploit in Windows 7, Microsoft yet to release patch Posted: 08 Mar 2019 01:05 PM PST  Microsoft has a zero-day vulnerability in Windows 7 that remains unpatched, Google revealed in a blog post yesterday. It's one of two zero-day vulnerabilities that, along with one in Google Chrome, hackers were exploiting to send malicious code to users. The unpatched Windows 7 vulnerability lets hackers escalate local privileges to execute malicious code. Google wrote in its blog post that it's only seen Windows 7 32-bit systems contain this vulnerability. Older versions before Windows 7 may also be at risk. Microsoft has told Google it's aware of the issue and is working on a fix, but it's already 10 days late addressing the problem. It tells The Verge, "Microsoft has a customer commitment to investigate reported security issues and... |
| What dancing sea lions and cockatoos can teach us about music Posted: 08 Mar 2019 11:56 AM PST  In June 2014, music cognition professor Henkjan Honing witnessed a strange sight: a sea lion named Ronan headbanging to a beat. When the beat sped up or slowed down, so did the bops of Ronan's head. And when "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire started playing over the speakers, Ronan kept perfect time. Moving with a beat may sound trivial to us humans. But Ronan's rhythm, first published by researchers at the University of Santa Cruz in 2013, is a major clue in the quest to understand why we have music, and how it became such an important cornerstone of human culture. That's the quest Honing, a professor at the University of Amsterdam, sets for himself in his new book, The Evolving Animal Orchestra, translated by Sherry Macdonald... |
| Everything we think we know about Apple’s AirPods 2 Posted: 08 Mar 2019 11:52 AM PST  The Apple AirPods are ripe for a refresh in 2019, if only because these truly wireless in-ear headphones are approaching their third year on shelves without a single hardware revision. From where Apple is sitting, it's easy to see why it has waited this long to release a new version. There are now several truly wireless headphones on the market — good ones, even — but new options like the Samsung Galaxy Buds are only now beginning to tread on the AirPods' biggest selling point: simplicity. AirPods are recognized by iPhones and iPads when you flip its case open, and they play nicely on macOS computers, too, where we've seen many Bluetooth headphones falter. The AirPods' design got a lot right back in 2016, and you can read our reviews to... |
| The CDC is studying electric scooter injuries for the first time Posted: 08 Mar 2019 11:47 AM PST  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is examining the rise of injuries related to shareable electric scooters, according to CNBC. The study was launched at the request of the Public Health and Transportation departments in Austin, Texas, where local health officials are seeing more injuries related to scooters offered by popular ride-sharing companies Bird and Lime. There have been other studies into the spike in scooter-related injuries, but the Austin study is the first to be overseen by federal epidemiologists. Austin Public Health is working with three CDC researchers to examine severe injuries that occurred in the city from September to November 2018. They will be interviewing people who were injured by or while... |
