| What if Amazon took Sprint’s place as the US’s fourth wireless carrier? Posted: 30 May 2019 06:06 PM PDT  Reuters is reporting something rather intriguing and inexplicable on its face: Amazon is interested in buying the Boost Mobile MVNO network from T-Mobile and Sprint, reportedly so that Amazon can have access T-Mobile's wireless network for a number of years and even purchase some of T-Mobile's spectrum. Here are a few of the background facts that make this so intriguing:

| Uber’s CEO thinks Eats is a secret weapon in the ride-hailing wars Posted: 30 May 2019 05:59 PM PDT  Uber is experimenting with increasing the cross-promotion of its Eats food delivery service and its ride-hailing offering inside the company's app, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Thursday. Khosrowshahi said he feels comfortable trying this after finding out that when customers use more than one of the company's products, their engagement with Uber "more than doubles" overall. He also thinks it could help cement the company's dominance in certain emerging markets. "Really what we're looking to do is significantly increase the percentage of our MAPCs [monthly active platform consumers] that use both products," said Khosrowshahi, on his first call with investors since Uber went public earlier this May. "Suffice it to say we are starting to... |
| Mark Zuckerberg’s head of security accused of sexual harassment by two former staffers Posted: 30 May 2019 05:58 PM PDT  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerbeg, like most ultra-rich members of society, has an extensive security detail that monitors him at all hours of the day, in addition to the litany of staff members responsible for cooking, cleaning, and managing Zuckerberg and his family's personal affairs. Yet according to two former employees of Zuckerberg's personal household and security staff, the chief executive's personal head of security, a former Secret Service agent named Liam Booth who worked under President Barack Obama, committed sexual harassment and has made racist and other derogatory remarks about Zuckerberg's wife, Priscilla Chan, and other staffers. The news was first reported this afternoon by Business Insider, and later confirmed by NBC News.... |
| Parental control app developers band together to demand an API from Apple Posted: 30 May 2019 05:37 PM PDT  A large group of developers who make parental control apps have banded together to demand that Apple come up with a technical solution that will allow them to continue to work on the iPhone. They've gone so far to create a website and propose a specification for an API that would give their apps enough access to track and limit usage of apps. The move is necessary because Apple had begun blocking many of these apps recently because they took advantage of the Mobile Device Management (MDM) features on the iPhone. Apple has set a policy that those features should only be used by companies. There were two ways to interpret that move. The first is that it was part of a larger review of MDM usage following what Apple saw as Facebook's abuse... |
| North Face apologizes after openly gloating about gaming Wikipedia for free advertising Posted: 30 May 2019 04:24 PM PDT  In a marketing campaign idea that even the least savvy internet user could have told you was a terrible idea, the North Face decided to announce publicly earlier this week how it gamed Google Search results to promote its products by uploading photos of them to high-traffic Wikipedia entries. North Face even gloated about its success with a short, two-minute video detailing how shots of famous locales were swapped for similar-seeming photos featuring North Face product placement, inorganically juicing North Face visibility in Google results. The opening of the video showed a graphic of a Google Search bar filling up in real time with the words, "How can a brand be the first on google without paying anything for it?" Now, the brand is... |
| Eight Hollywood studios threaten to leave Georgia if an abortion ban becomes law Posted: 30 May 2019 04:10 PM PDT  It's not just Disney and Netflix anymore: AT&T's WarnerMedia, NBCUniversal, CBS, AMC, Sony and Viacom are all in alignment, threatening that they may have to reconsider whether they continue to film productions in the state of Georgia, according to statements provided to The Hollywood Reporter. Yesterday, Disney CEO Bob Iger told Reuters that the company might stop filming movies and TV shows in Georgia if the state's new controversial abortion law goes into effect. Iger was asked by Reuters about the company's plans to continue filming some of its biggest movies in Georgia following a ban on abortion that would prevent women from having the procedure done as soon as a doctor can find a fetus' heartbeat. It's a controversial ban —... |
| British Columbia passes emissions law banning sale of gas-powered cars by 2040 Posted: 30 May 2019 03:53 PM PDT  British Columbia yesterday passed an emissions law aimed at curbing the production and sale of fuel-burning cars in the Canadian province, marking North America's most aggressive legislation to date, according to the CBC. The law mandates that 10 percent of all vehicles sold by 2025 be zero emission ones, while the sale of fuel-burning cars and trucks will be banned outright by 2040. Zero emission vehicles include battery electric, plug-in hybrids, and hydrogen fuel-cell models. The law, called the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act (ZEVA), is not without its critics. The CBC says opposition to the ZEVA mostly centers on the law's potential ineffectiveness, with criticism aimed at the fact BC residents can simply purchase a vehicle in the... |
| Northrop Grumman’s new rocket suffers small explosion during first big ignition test Posted: 30 May 2019 02:02 PM PDT  Northrop Grumman's first big test of its future OmegA rocket seems to have ended in a small explosion. Today, the company fired up the main engine on the rocket during a ground test in Utah. Toward the end of the test, part of the vehicle's engine burst apart, sending pieces of hardware flying. Today's test is what is known as a static fire, when the engine of a rocket is ignited while the vehicle is held firmly to the ground. Northrop Grumman was conducting the very first static fire test of the OmegA's first stage — the main body of the rocket with the primary engine attached to the end. The first stage was ignited horizontally at Northrop Grumman's test facility in Promontory, Utah, with the goal of testing out all of the rocket's... |
