| iFixit pulls Galaxy Fold teardown at Samsung’s request Posted: 25 Apr 2019 04:24 PM PDT  What in the world is going on over at Samsung in the wake of the Galaxy Fold delay? The whole situation keeps refusing to normalize, and instead gets weirder nearly every day. The latest is that iFixit has decided to honor a Samsung request to pull its Galaxy Fold teardown off the internet, even though Samsung apparently didn't ask iFixit to do so directly. This oddity follows AT&T's seemingly arbitrary decision to email a potential ship date for the Galaxy Fold despite the fact that Samsung hasn't officially set a new release date. By requesting that iFixit pull the teardown, Samsung is apparently willing to risk the Streisand effect when it comes to people clamoring to see the innards of its device. Here's part of iFixit's statement... |
| Intel says Apple and Qualcomm’s surprise settlement pushed it to exit mobile 5G Posted: 25 Apr 2019 03:39 PM PDT  Intel has clarified that it bowed out of the mobile 5G marketplace earlier this month, and now we know why: according to CEO Bob Swan, the company had concluded that there just wasn't money in the business after Apple and Qualcomm settled their ongoing dispute — a settlement which meant Qualcomm would provide modems to Apple once again. "In light of the announcement of Apple and Qualcomm, we assessed the prospects for us to make money while delivering this technology for smartphones and concluded at the time that we just didn't see a path," commented Swan in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. The news that Intel had exited the 5G modem business came just hours after... |
| Amazon says it’s working on free one-day Prime shipping Posted: 25 Apr 2019 03:01 PM PDT  Amazon revealed today that it's working to offer free one-day shipping as the default for Amazon Prime customers, instead of the free two-day Prime shipping primarily offered today. "We're currently working on evolving Prime two-day to Prime one-day," says chief financial officer Brian Olsavsky during the company's first quarter 2019 earnings call. The new free one-day shipping method should be different from today's free same-day and free one-day shipping, which usually require you to order at least $35 worth of items. The free one-day shipping also won't come at an additional cost to consumers, besides the required Prime membership subscription. "We're already starting down... |
| How to avoid Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame spoilers Posted: 25 Apr 2019 02:19 PM PDT  The internet is full of spoilers, making it a dangerous place to hang around if you're trying to steer clear of what happens in Avengers: Endgame, Game of Thrones, or any other TV shows, movies, or video games that you're still catching up on. Even when you think you've got things under control, Google's autocomplete feature has spoiled things before. URLs can contain spoilers, too. In addition, trolls can embed spoilers in unrelated content. When Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, the film's biggest plot twist was hidden within a misleading video titled something like "LMAO funny Madden 16 glitches." (Needless to say, there were no funny Madden glitches to be found.) Of course, the most logical suggestion for avoiding them is... |
| New York’s attorney general is investigating Facebook after contact-scraping scandal Posted: 25 Apr 2019 02:15 PM PDT  The New York attorney general's office has opened an investigation into Facebook after it was discovered earlier this month that the company had the email contacts belonging to over 1.5 million people without their consent. "It is time Facebook is held accountable for how it handles consumers' personal information," Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. "Facebook has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for consumers' information while at the same time profiting from mining that data." Starting in May 2016, Facebook automatically collected users' contact lists, ultimately collecting data on more than 1.5 million people. That data was then used to improve the social media... |
| Amazon has its most profitable quarter ever, but growth is slowing Posted: 25 Apr 2019 02:06 PM PDT  Amazon wants to continue its dominance over e-commerce, but it can only grow so much. In its first quarter earnings posted today, Amazon revealed record-high profit, more than double what investors predicted, and revenue was in line with Wall Street expectations, at $59.7 billion. But the company is again entering a period of high spending that, coupled with its slow revenue growth, may prove an obstacle down the line. It's clear Amazon is still an extremely profitable company, as the third most valuable corporation on the planet after Apple and Microsoft. But CEO Jeff Bezos is continuing to invest heavily in artificial intelligence, the smart home, and physical retail, bets that won't pay off for quite some time. As a result, Amazon is... |
| Facebook bans personality quizzes after Cambridge Analytica scandal Posted: 25 Apr 2019 01:52 PM PDT  Facebook is banning personality quiz apps, which have for years been able to collect and store a great deal of information about their users. The ban comes a year after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where it came out that the data firm had acquired information on up to 87 million people through the quiz app "thisisyourdigitallife." To be clear, personality quizzes themselves were not the problem here. While they offer an easy way for unscrupulous developers to gather masses of data — after all, they're premised on handing over personal information — the problem was that Facebook allowed developers, for many years, to collect information on friends of friends and never thoroughly enforced policies to ensure that the data was kept... |
| The WHO’s new screen time limits aren’t really about screens Posted: 25 Apr 2019 01:47 PM PDT  Much has been made of the World Health Organization's new recommendations that caregivers restrict the amount of time young kids stare at screens. But the guidelines are less about the risks of screen time itself, and more about the advantages of spending time doing pretty much anything else. The recommendations are broadly about physical activity and sleep for children under five years old, and are an attempt to create healthy habits during a critical developmental window. Among the recommendations for tummy time and active play, the WHO also spells out that between the ages of two and five, children should spend no more than an hour a day plopped in front of a screen. And children under the age of two shouldn't engage in sedentary... |
| Fortnite’s Avengers: Endgame crossover is one of the best superhero games I’ve ever played Posted: 25 Apr 2019 01:04 PM PDT  Battle royale video games are not really power fantasies, especially if you're one of the majority of players on the losing end of a match. Being dropped onto an island with fellow scavengers and scrounging around for what little firearms and ammo you can get your hands on creates a tense, anything-can-happen atmosphere. You're supposed to feel vulnerable all the time. That's not the case in Fortnite's big Avengers: Endgame crossover event. The limited-time game mode is all about feeling overly powerful — like a superhero — to spectacular effect. Whether you're on the side of humanity, wielding one of the many heroic weapons taken from the Marvel universe, or whether you're part of Thanos' army — with its jetpacks and energy weapons... |
| Verizon and AT&T hit record lows for smartphone upgrades Posted: 25 Apr 2019 12:34 PM PDT  AT&T and Verizon have revealed that upgrade rates have hit all-time lows for the two carriers, with fewer existing customers upgrading their devices, as noted by Bloomberg. The downward trend in upgrades isn't exactly new: upgrade rates have been trending downward for years, but the record lows recorded by the two the largest carriers in the US paint a stark picture, both for AT&T and Verizon and hardware manufacturers like Apple and Samsung. It means fewer customers are interested in upgrading their phones, and they are doing so with less frequency than before.
It's easy to guess why... |
