| Google takes a tiny step toward fixing AMP’s URL problem Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:45 PM PDT  When you click a link on your phone with a little lightning bolt next to it in Google search, you're getting something in the AMP format. AMP stands for "Accelerated Mobile Pages," and you've probably noticed that those pages load super quickly and usually look much simpler than regular webpages. You may have also noticed that the URL at the top of your browser started with "www.google.com/somethingorother" instead of with the webpage you thought you were visiting. Google is trying to fix that today by announcing support for something called "Signed Exchanges." What it should mean is that when you click on one of those links, your URL will be the original, correct URL for the story. Cloudflare is joining Google in supporting the standard... |
| The artificial intelligence field is too white and too male, researchers say Posted: 16 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT  The artificial intelligence industry is facing a "diversity crisis," researchers from the AI Now Institute said in a report released today, raising key questions about the direction of the field. Women and people of color are deeply underrepresented, the report found, noting studies finding that about 80 percent of AI professors are men, while just 15 percent of AI research staff at Facebook and 10 percent at Google are women. People of color are also sidelined, making up only a fraction of staff at major tech companies. The result is a workforce frequently driven by white and male perspectives, building tools that often affect other groups of people. "This is not the diversity of people that are being affected by these systems," AI Now... |
| Intel says it will exit the 5G phone business as Apple and Qualcomm strike multiyear deal Posted: 16 Apr 2019 04:51 PM PDT  Intel this evening says it has decided to leave the 5G mobile modem market to focus its efforts more on 4G and 5G modems for PCs and smart home devices, as well as its broader 5G infrastructure business. The announcement comes just hours after Apple and Qualcomm struck a surprise settlement in the two companies' ongoing patent infringement and royalties dispute related to Apple's use of Qualcomm modems in the iPhone. It's likely Intel's decision here was what prompted Apple and Qualcomm's decision to settle — which came as quite a surprise since it happened just as lawyers were presenting opening arguments at the latest courtroom trial that began yesterday in Southern California. But it's unclear when Intel came to this decision, or... |
| Verizon will now charge more money for in-store activations of new phones Posted: 16 Apr 2019 03:24 PM PDT  Verizon is altering its activation fee structure to incentivize customers to buy new phones online, according to CNET. Prior to this week, the standard activation fee, both for an in-store activation and when purchasing a new phone online, was $30. Now, Verizon says you can save $10 by buying a new phone online, paying only $20 to activate it, while doing so via a Verizon brick-and-mortar retail store will now cost you $40. The changes go into effect on Thursday, CNET reports. Typically, these activation fees tend to increase or decrease depending on a number of conditions, like whether you're on a prepaid plan or a monthly one, and whether you're buying a new phone on a new line of service or just upgrading a device on an existing line... |
| Netflix will start testing a top 10 list of its most popular content Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:55 PM PDT  Netflix plans to begin testing a top 10 list for streaming customers in the UK. It will allow them to see which shows and movies are currently the most popular across the service. The top 10 will be updated weekly, and each genre / category will get its own list. "For those who want to watch what others are watching, this may make choosing titles even easier," CEO Reed Hastings wrote in this quarter's letter to investors. "After a few months we'll decide whether to end or expand the test." The test will begin later this quarter. The move is a small but notable step for Netflix, which has always been cagey about viewership data and reluctant to share solid streaming metrics. That's still true: you won't be able to see how many people... |
| Electric sedans are winning the Shanghai Auto Show Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:25 PM PDT  Sedan sales may be collapsing in the United States, but some of China's highest-profile automakers have announced all-electric cars — not SUVs — at this week's Shanghai Auto Show. At least three were unveiled on Tuesday alone, including two by EV startups NIO and XPeng, and one by Geely, which owns Volvo. Add to that Aston Martin's first all-electric car, the Rapide E, and the return of Lotus as an all-electric hypercar maker (both of which were also announced on Tuesday), and it's clear that sedans are becoming the standout trend of the show. With Ford and General Motors recently killing off nearly all sedans in the United States following the downward sales trend, it feels like an almost unfathomable development to watch happen from... |
| GameStop will let you trade in a game for full credit if returned within 48 hours Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:23 PM PDT  GameStop is launching a new promotion that will allow customers to return a game for full store credit within 48 hours of purchase. The program, as circulated today by Cheap Ass Gamer and verified by The Verge, is called "Guarantee to Love It," and will launch next week with the debut of Days Gone. The promotion window will apply only in the first week of a game's arrival, and GameStop will specify during various times which titles are eligible. Days Gone officially lands on April 26th, and customers will only be able to claim a full credit refund if they purchase the game between April 25th–28th. If they don't "love it," they can trade the open item back to the store for the full price of $59.99. Tax is not refundable, and the deal only... |
| Microsoft unveils disc-less Xbox One S All-Digital Edition for $249 Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:11 PM PDT  Microsoft is making its disc-less Xbox One S official today. After weeks of leaks, the software maker is unveiling the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, which is priced at $249 and will be available on May 7th. This is a new model that will be sold alongside the original Xbox One S, and the more powerful Xbox One X. The big selling point here is that this All-Digital Edition will not ship with the Blu-ray drive, cutting the price slightly by $50 (recommended retail price). Microsoft is including a 1TB HDD on this new digital model alongside digital versions of Forza Horizon 3, Sea of Thieves, and Minecraft in the box. The hardware is exactly the same as existing Xbox One S consoles, just without the 4K Blu-ray drive. "The Xbox One S... |
| T-Mobile and Sprint’s wireless merger may have just been doomed by US regulators Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:07 PM PDT  The colossal, industry-changing merger between US mobile providers T-Mobile and Sprint is running into significant resistance from regulators. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Department of Justice has warned both companies that their merger is unlikely to be approved as currently proposed. Antitrust concerns are said to be at the top of the DOJ's qualms with the deal: regulators are worried that the deal could harm wireless competition despite insistence from the two carriers that it would be a boost to job creation and network evolution. In its own corroborating report, Reuters says the DoJ has told both parties that it opposes the merger under its current structure, but that it's "unclear" whether regulators are seeking to... |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2019 02:03 PM PDT  Microsoft is unveiling a new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription today that combines Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass into a single monthly charge. This new service was rumored earlier this month, and it's now official. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will combine both the Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions into a single monthly cost of $14.99. Xbox owners will save around $5 per month compared to the $19.98 monthly subscription price for an existing combination of the two services. Microsoft is only unveiling the new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription today, but the company is beta testing it with its Xbox Insider community before it's available in all Xbox Game Pass markets later this year. This isn't the first time Microsoft... |
