| The company that dashed our sapphire-covered iPhone dreams is being charged with fraud Posted: 03 May 2019 06:34 PM PDT  In 2014, it looked like Apple was poised to do for sapphire what it had done for aluminum — turn an exceptionally useful but difficult-to-machine raw material into a selling point for its flagship consumer gadgets. Apple announced a new factory in Arizona where its supplier, GT Advanced Technologies, would be loaned $578 million to produce huge synthetic sapphire crystals — known as boules — to be chopped up into incredibly scratch-resistant covers for the screens of the iPhone 6. That iPhone never arrived. GT Advanced quickly imploded under the strain of trying to mass-produce sapphire glass, filing for bankruptcy mere months after beginning work at the Arizona plant. And today, we're learning that the US Securities and Exchange... |
| Tesla to employees: if you leak, we’ll catch you, we’ll fire you, and we might sue you Posted: 03 May 2019 05:03 PM PDT  Tesla employees received an email today listing firing, felony charges, and lawsuits as potential consequences for leaking information about the electric vehicle-maker to the press, CNBC reported. The email, which was sent by Tesla's security team, listed recent actions the company had taken against employees who had leaked. One former employee had "exfiltrated confidential business information from the Tesla domain to his personal account and threatened to disclose confidential company information," according to the email. Tesla has filed felony charges against this person, the email said. It also listed two lawsuits against former employees over intellectual property and "stealing proprietary information and trade secrets." |
| PSA: If you’ve got a Dell computer, you might want to fix this now Posted: 03 May 2019 04:04 PM PDT  Your new Windows laptop typically ships with an awful lot of bloatware you don't need. Often, it'll just slow down your computer a tad. But occasionally, a pre-installed piece of manufacturer cruft can pose a serious security risk — and that's why you should probably update or uninstall Dell's SupportAssist right away. The app, which Dell's support page states is preinstalled on "most of all new Dell devices running Windows" and billed as "the industry's first automated proactive and predictive support technology," has apparently been vulnerable to a hack since at least last October, according to 17-year-old security researcher Bill Demirkapi. It's not clear why it's only getting patched just now. It's a potentially nasty one: Dell's... |
| Electric racing series Formula E lost $29 million in its fourth season Posted: 03 May 2019 02:41 PM PDT  Electric racing series Formula E posted a €26.4 million (about $29 million) loss during its fiscal year ending July 31st, 2018, despite generating a record €133.4 million (about $149 million) of revenue, according to a new financial statement filed with the United Kingdom's Companies House registry. The results for the fiscal year Formula E reported in this filing cover the racing series' fourth season, which began in late 2017 and ended with a pair of races in New York City in July 2018. Formula E had lost €20.8 million (about $23.2 million) on €94.5 million (about $105.7 million) worth of revenue in the previous year. It lost €35.2 million (about $39 million) on revenues of €56.6 million (about $63 million) the year before that. The... |
| Detective Pikachu director weighs in on Sonic the Hedgehog live-action backlash Posted: 03 May 2019 02:03 PM PDT  Video game adaptations used to mean dressing up attractive actors in iconic costumes and trying to stuff 20 hours of gameplay into a 90-minute movie. It didn't really work. Now, video game adaptations are more reliant on CGI versions of favorite childhood characters appearing both realistic and either terrifying or adorable. It's the difference between Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider and recent films like Rampage. Detective Pikachu director Rob Letterman knows how important nailing the CGI adaptation of beloved 2D characters is to ensuring longtime fans are on board. Getting it right leads to praise for a thoughtful reworking of a character like Pikachu or Bulbasaur. Getting it wrong, unfortunately, leads to the Sonic the... |
| Why century-old ship logs are key to today’s climate research Posted: 03 May 2019 01:26 PM PDT  Through both sunny days and torrential storms, sailors cutting through the waters around New Zealand and Antarctica faithfully recorded the weather they encountered, building up a treasure trove of data. Over a century later, scientists are digging through these maritime records for insights about the past and future of the region's climate — and they need the public's help. Knowing what the weather was up to in the past can help scientists calibrate climate models like the ones they use to predict how weather conditions are likely to change as global temperatures continue to rise. Sailors traveling around New Zealand from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s to trade goods, hunt whales, or explore Antarctica kept logs about the water and air... |
| Thanos and the Night King were fighting the exact same battle Posted: 03 May 2019 01:21 PM PDT  Warning: spoilers ahead for season 8 of Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame. The morning of Game of Thrones' long-awaited Battle of Winterfell episode, "The Long Night," Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo tweeted a fan-made picture of the Night King and Thanos face-to-face, with the hashtag #WeWannaSeeThisFight. But the truth about the villains — two of the most significant in popular culture this decade and both coming to their biggest, death-filled clashes in one weekend — is that they have no reason to fight each other. Based on what we know about their goals, their fight is essentially the same. For many seasons of Game of Thrones, the Night King mostly came across as a bastion of pure death. But during "A Knight of... |

| Before Netflix’s Dead to Me, watch Christina Applegate in Samantha Who? Posted: 03 May 2019 12:23 PM PDT  There are so many streaming options available these days, and so many conflicting recommendations, that it's hard to see through all the crap you could be watching. Each Friday, The Verge's Cut the Crap column simplifies the choice by sorting through the overwhelming multitude of movies and TV shows on subscription services, and recommending a single perfect thing to watch this weekend. What to watch"Out of Africa," a season 2 episode of Samantha Who?, an ABC sitcom that aired from 2007 to 2009. Christina Applegate stars as Samantha Newly, a successful but colossally selfish Chicago realtor who develops amnesia after an accident and undergoes a personality change, becoming a kinder person in reaction to stories and fleeting memories of... |
| OnePlus dunked its new phone in water, but says you shouldn’t do that Posted: 03 May 2019 11:53 AM PDT  Today, OnePlus posted a teaser video of its next flagship phone falling into a bucket of water. "Water resistant ratings for phones cost you money," reads the text that pops up on-screen. "We bought something less expensive instead." The spot clearly implies that the OnePlus 7 Pro will have some level of water resistance — even if the company hasn't gone through the formal IP certification process.
Pause the video during the last few moments and note the fine print at the bottom: "Water resistant under optimal test conditions. OnePlus makes no guarantees regarding... |
