CBS will release a black-and-white version of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone

Posted: 11 May 2019 12:00 PM PDT

In April, CBS All Access launched Jordan Peele's reboot of The Twilight Zone, the latest in a string of remakes of the franchise, and the latest anthology-style show to come from a streaming service. Now, CBS is releasing a new version of it, this time in black-and-white, which harkens back to the style of the original.

The first couple of episodes of the new series cut really close to the original — so much so that reviewer Samantha Nelson noted that they're a bit weaker than they might have otherwise been. Some viewers complained about another aspect of the show: Peele's version was in color, a departure from the originals, which came in black and white. Some fans noted that they were adjusting their TV's settings so that the new...

Instagram appears to be testing stickers with song lyrics

Posted: 11 May 2019 11:25 AM PDT

It looks as though Instagram is testing a new feature for stickers in its Stories feature: music lyrics that play out along with a video.

Jane Manchun Wong spotted the feature back in April, and demonstrated it in a short video on Twitter, showing lyrics from Rick Ashley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," alongside the music video.

Instagram brought music to its Stories feature last summer, allowing users to add background music to accompany their posts. Users can add music to the post, and customize it with specific clips for certain pictures or videos. In December, Instagram added some additional musical features, allowing...

Facebook defends itself against op-ed calling for its breakup

Posted: 11 May 2019 10:44 AM PDT

On Thursday, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling for the company to be broken up, saying that CEO Mark Zuckerberg's "focus on growth led him to sacrifice security and civility for clicks," and that he should be held accountable for his company's mistakes. Now, Facebook has responded an op-ed of its own, saying that its size isn't the real problem, and that its success as a platform shouldn't be punished.

Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president for global affairs and communications wrote the piece, and in it, he agrees with Hughs that "companies should be held accountable for their actions," and that tech companies such as Facebook shouldn't be the ones handling all of the "important social,...

9 new trailers you should watch this week

Posted: 11 May 2019 09:00 AM PDT

I haven't loved some of Wes Anderson's earlier movies, but I really enjoyed The Darjeeling Limited when I watched it this past weekend.

One thing I thought was particularly smart about the movie was how many small physical attachments Anderson gives his characters, which it's clear they'll eventually have to shed in order to grow. Passports, itineraries, and literal luggage are being carried around the entire movie, begging to be left behind.

This also plays into how explicitly Anderson's characters often work. They're all jaded and willing to plainly state what's wrong with them, and these items offer a simple almost-storybook way of illustrating every beat.

Check out nine trailers from this week below.

HBO’s award-winning Big Little Lies is streaming free on YouTube all weekend

Posted: 11 May 2019 07:31 AM PDT

Weekends are made for spending time with family, taking in the great outdoors and, if you're like me, spending time on the couch binging good television series. HBO has made that last option even better, making the entire first season of Big Little Lies available to watch for free on YouTube this weekend.

Big Little Lies, a miniseries based on a book of the same name, follows a group of close-knit friends in Monterey Bay, California as secrets unravel and deadly incidents occur. When a murder takes place, everyone in town becomes suspect. As more information comes to light, it's clear the circumstances surrounding the suspicious death are more dire than first thought.

The show garnered attention when it first debuted in 2017, mostly...

Netflix’s top 10 most-viewed list is coming next week for UK users

Posted: 11 May 2019 07:14 AM PDT

Netflix has historically been notoriously tight-fisted when it comes to revealing viewer numbers with the press and even with the people producing its original content. That's been slowly changing in recent months, and it announced earlier this week that it would be testing a top-10 most viewed list for UK viewers, providing a bit of a glimpse into what its subscribers are watching.

Netflix says (via Variety) that it's testing a top-10 feature in the UK that will reveal what's popular on its platform. The initial list for its overall most-watched programs in April has David Attenborough's Our Planet as the most-viewed, followed by The Perfect Date, The Highway Man, The Silence, Black Summer, After Life, The Spy Who Dumped Me, Riverdale,...

A hacking ring stole millions by hijacking SIM cards, feds say

Posted: 11 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT

Nine people have been charged in an alleged conspiracy to hijack SIM cards and steal cryptocurrency from unwitting victims, prosecutors said this week. The scheme, according to court documents, netted more than $2.4 million.

In an unsealed indictment, prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan allege that six of the people, living across the United States and Ireland, were members of a group called "The Community." The hacking ring, prosecutors say, took part in a scam called SIM hijacking, in which, using either bribery or trickery, hackers convince mobile phone carriers to transfer a phone number to a new SIM card.

With access to the phone number, scammers can bypass...

Watch Jeff Bezos’ big pitch for establishing a human presence in space

Posted: 11 May 2019 06:00 AM PDT

This past week, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos laid out his vision for the future of humanity's presence in space. The richest man on the planet (on paper, at least) spent about an hour talking about how and why he believes we should someday develop massive free-floating space structures that can house millions of people off-world. And then he made the case for how his company Blue Origin will build the infrastructure required to make those big dreams come true.

That all starts with the rockets Blue Origin is building, but it also now includes Blue Moon, the lunar lander Bezos unveiled on Thursday. Blue Moon is what his company will use to someday deliver science equipment and humans to the surface of the Moon. It can soft land between 3.6...

Audeze gets super serious about gaming audio with $899 LCD-GX

Posted: 11 May 2019 04:49 AM PDT

<em>Audeze LCD-GX.</em>

If there's one brand I trust to build the best headphones in the world, it's Audeze. The company's flagship LCD line extends all the way up into the $4,000 price range, and I'd argue that its latest LCD-4z have the performance to match. Today, though, Audeze is addressing a broader market with the launch of its second gaming headphones, the LCD-GX. These borrow the same basic layout and construction as the 4z — meaning a suspension headband paired with memory-foam pads, sturdy metal yokes, and interchangeable LCD series cables — but put the focus on gaming.

Aside from the included directional microphone with pop filter, Audeze isn't making any particular hardware adaptations to turn the GX into gaming headphones. The company is using its...
