| Intel and Qualcomm reportedly join Google in Huawei ban Posted: 19 May 2019 08:15 PM PDT  Huawei's bad weekend is turning worse as the company's American suppliers are all falling in line with a US government edict banning them from doing business with the company. Bloomberg now reports that Intel, Qualcomm, and Broadcom, three of the world's leading chip designers and suppliers, are cutting off their dealings with Huawei, effective immediately. This follows the earlier news of Google abruptly rescinding Huawei's Android license and halting its access to Google Play Services and the Play Store, effectively dumping it out of the Android smartphone market and forcing the Chinese company to develop its own version atop the barebone open-source version of Android. According to Bloomberg's sources, employees across the major US... |
| Watch the first Westworld 3 trailer Posted: 19 May 2019 07:42 PM PDT  The buildup to the hotly anticipated Game of Thrones finale featured a suitably high-profile trailer from HBO: the debut of a Westworld III video teaser. Set to air in 2020, the third season of Westworld looks like a real departure from the original two, leaving the confines of the robot-populated fantasy playground for a more conventional futuristic setting. Which is, of course, still richly populated with robots. Featuring Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" as a soundtrack and a distressed Aaron Paul searching for authenticity in a synthetic world, this trailer is full of foreboding and unease, but it wouldn't be Westworld without those things. |
| Google pulls Huawei’s Android license, forcing it to use open source version Posted: 19 May 2019 12:34 PM PDT  Following the US crackdown on Chinese technology companies, Google has cut off Huawei's Android license, dealing a huge blow to the besieged phonemaker. Reuters first reported the news, and The Verge subsequently confirmed Google's suspension of business with Huawei with a source familiar with the matter. Reached for comment, a Google spokesperson said only "We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications." The order, in this case, appears to be the US Commerce Department's recent decision to place Huawei on the "Entity List," which as Reuters reports is a list of companies that are unable to buy technology from US companies without government approval. Speaking to Reuters, a Google spokesperson confirmed that "Google... |
| Tati Westbrook and James Charles’ new videos are a lesson on how to placate YouTube’s wildest fans Posted: 19 May 2019 11:00 AM PDT  Beauty YouTuber Tati Westbrook posted a video that lost fellow YouTuber James Charles three million subscribers, and then asked fans to stop unfollowing him. They listened — and showcased a cycle that defines fan culture on YouTube. After Westbrook's plea, fans started re-following Charles in droves, with more than 45,000 people hitting subscribe just one day after her second video went up. That video has more than quadrupled since Charles published his own lengthy video about the situation. He also asked fans to stop spreading hate, but the YouTube community needed to pick a side. Fans acted the only way they knew how: subscribe and unsubscribe. Westbrook began her beauty vlogging career in 2010, and has spent the last nine years... |
| 20 years ago, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace changed movies forever Posted: 19 May 2019 10:00 AM PDT  On May 19th, 1999, George Lucas changed movies forever. The long-anticipated Star Wars prequel Episode I: The Phantom Menace hit theaters, returning to a world that fans had thought they'd never see again. For some, excitement turned to confusion, puzzlement, and outright anger by the time the credits rolled, and Lucas's grand cinematic experiment was off to a rocky start. Looking back at the film two decades later, The Phantom Menace proved to be a precursor for the cinematic environment that we now find ourselves in. It was a special effects revolution, the first inkling that stories might never end, and a film where the director and cast faced enormous pushback from fans. In 2019, we live in a world where massive, interconnected... |
| A million fans sign Game of Thrones petition, but it won’t stop them from being killed off tonight Posted: 19 May 2019 08:58 AM PDT  As fans prepare for the longest night — a world without Game of Thrones — many are still hanging on for dear life. A petition to remake the controversial final season has crossed a million signatures on Change.org, and is currently featured on the site's front page above real causes, like asking CVS to donate food instead of throwing it in the trash. "David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers," the petition says. "This series deserves a final season that makes sense." Yes — it's obviously a hopeless gesture of frustration and not a real effort for change, and even Dylan, the petition's creator, admits its folly. In a follow-up post on May 17th, Dylan says "I don't think people can reasonably... |
| Alt-Frequencies is an interactive audio drama about government conspiracy and time travel Posted: 19 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT  Time waits for no one, but occasionally, it does get stuck in a loop. So goes the premise of Alt-Frequencies, a new audio mystery in which players skim radio stations to uncover a government conspiracy. Alt-Frequencies is the latest game from Accidental Queens, creator of A Normal Lost Phone and Another Lost Phone: Laura's Story. Its latest tale — available now for mobile and PC — posits that our lives may be stuck in a never-ending time loop initiated by government officials. We just don't know it yet. In order to expose the truth, players listen to different radio broadcasts, record relevant information, and send it back into the airwaves. It's an interesting idea executed simply: swiping left or right will allow you to browse... |
| Little Printer returns as an open-source messaging device Posted: 19 May 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Berg's Little Printer, an adorable internet-connected box that printed out tiny snippets of news, Instagram photos, and to-do lists, stopped working when the studio and its servers shut down in 2014. Now, design consultancy firm Nord Projects has brought it back to life with a brand-new app, and it added the ability to send messages between devices, as reported by Core77. A group of Little Printer enthusiasts on GitHub collaborated to get the device back online through an open-source server called Sirius. Nord Projects then designed a Little Printers iOS app that re-created old favorite features like poster fonts and dithergrams, while adding a few more modern touches. The app lets you print photos and notes via the iOS Share sheet, and... |
| I Am Human is a tech doc with a refreshing focus on people Posted: 19 May 2019 06:00 AM PDT  Welcome to Cheat Sheet, our brief breakdown-style reviews of festival films, VR previews, and other special event releases. This review comes from the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. We're in a dark moment for the tech industry: a time when some new technologies have been adopted recklessly and backfired terribly, and others have developed far more slowly than their creators hoped. Against the backdrop of this pessimism, a film like I Am Human — a fundamentally optimistic documentary about neuroscience and brain medicine — feels surprisingly refreshing. I Am Human is a moving trio of narratives about people who are trying to overcome serious physical limitations with cutting-edge brain science. The debut feature from Taryn Southern and Elena... |
| Here are the winners of the 2019 Nebula Awards Posted: 19 May 2019 05:00 AM PDT  The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America is holding its Nebula Awards conference in Los Angeles this weekend, and tonight, the group announced the winners of the 2019 Nebula Awards, which honor the best science fiction and fantasy writing from 2018. Mary Robinette Kowal's The Calculating Stars, the first installment of her Lady Astronaut series, took home the top honor. The novel (and its companion, The Fated Sky) are set in an alternate history in which an asteroid landed off the coast of North America in 1953, setting off a climate catastrophe. To prevent the extinction of the human race, various nations around the world kick-start an alternate space race to colonize the Solar System before it's too late. The book's central... |
