| 64-megapixel phone cameras are coming Posted: 08 May 2019 06:42 PM PDT  Samsung has announced a new image sensor for mobile phones with a higher resolution than anything comparable on the market. The ISOCELL Bright GW1 is a 64-megapixel sensor that uses the same 0.8μm-sized pixels as Samsung's current 48-megapixel component, meaning it'll be a physically larger sensor that can capture more light overall. The Bright GW1 will produce 16-megapixel images by merging four pixels into one, like how existing 48-megapixel sensors turn out 12-megapixel photos by default. Samsung's new sensor will also be able to descramble the color filter for full-resolution 64-megapixel shots in good light. Sony's IMX586 48-megapixel sensor has a similar capability, but Samsung's doesn't; today the Korean company is also announcing... |
| Ecobee’s leaked contact sensor suggests it’s about to challenge Amazon’s Ring and Google Nest Posted: 08 May 2019 06:00 PM PDT  Ecobee makes some of the best smart thermostats on the market, but like its rival Nest, the company may not be satisfied with that tiny sliver of the smart home gadget action. Dave Zatz of ZatzNotFunny previously revealed that the company was quietly working on a smart home camera, and now he's discovered images of a contact sensor as well — and that suggests we're only looking at the tip of the iceberg right now. You see, a contact sensor is a fundamental piece of a larger smart home ecosystem, one where opening and closing doors and windows can trigger other things, like alarms, lights, or adjusting the temperature. (When the two halves of the sensor move away from each other — say, one of them on a swinging door — the system knows... |
| Disney could take full control of Hulu, but that doesn’t mean subscribers’ favorite shows disappear Posted: 08 May 2019 04:11 PM PDT  Disney currently owns about 70 percent of Hulu, but Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed today that preliminary conversations with Comcast to purchase the remaining roughly 30 percent are underway. On the business side of things, that means Disney could finally expand Hulu into international territory without input from Comcast. Content wise, there are obvious questions about what Disney owning 100 percent of Hulu means for the future of content owned by WarnerMedia (AT&T) and NBCUniversal (Comcast) on the platform. Iger couldn't get into specifics, but based on the few answers he did give, there's a good chance most of subscribers' favorite shows will still be available on Hulu. Iger told investors that when WarnerMedia, owned by AT&T, sold... |
| Volvo’s Polestar 2 with Android Automotive is how all car software should be designed Posted: 08 May 2019 03:51 PM PDT  The native Android Auto saga has a long and winding road, but we're finally approaching the finish line. Google's custom-built software for automobiles, now called Android Automotive OS and not to be confused with standard Android Auto mirrored from your smartphone, was first announced a couple of years back as a kind of compromise with an auto industry that realized it could never build software as good as Silicon Valley. It's taken various forms, as it's moved from retrofitted Volvo infotainment systems to new, custom screens. And behind closed doors, it's gone through countless iterations that have never seen the public eye, as Google has done a careful dance letting automakers have some control of the design while it works closely... |
| NASA’s plan to get to the Moon by 2024 isn’t ready yet Posted: 08 May 2019 03:14 PM PDT  Members of Congress grilled representatives from NASA today over the agency's failure to deliver a plan for getting back to the Moon within five years. The plan was supposed to be ready by mid-April but NASA officials say it'll probably be a couple more weeks until the details are finalized and delivered. On March 26th, Vice President Mike Pence challenged NASA to return humans to the surface of the Moon by 2024 during a speech at a meeting of the National Space Council. It marked a significant change in deadlines for NASA, which had been targeting 2028 for its first human landings on the lunar surface. But Pence said that NASA had a plan to accelerate these landings and that NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine had divulged the details... |
| What could the ‘A’ stand for in Pixel 3A? Let’s discuss Posted: 08 May 2019 02:27 PM PDT  Google has officially released the Pixel 3A, its latest smartphone that serves as a cheaper, midrange entry point into the company's Pixel lineup. For more on the phone, check out Dieter's review, but we're here to talk about the Pixel 3A's name. Or more specifically: what does the "A" stand for? Most of the Google Pixel 3A's moniker makes sense on the surface: "Google," who, you know, sells the phone. "Pixel," to indicate that it is of the same stock as its pricier siblings, with similar standards and brand ideologies — particularly around the camera quality — to match. "3," since that's the current generation of Pixel phone Google is on, and the 3A is at heart a watered-down Pixel 3. But what about the A? It's here that things become... |
| GM is trying to sell a closed factory to troubled EV startup Workhorse Posted: 08 May 2019 01:48 PM PDT  General Motors is in talks to sell one of the North American factories it recently closed. The potential buyer? Workhorse Group, an Ohio-based EV startup that has spent the last few years struggling to bring an all-electric pickup truck to market. The deal was prematurely announced by President Donald Trump in a tweet Wednesday morning. Trump has spent the last half-year chastising GM for closing the Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant in question (along with two others), saying CEO Mary Barra made a "big mistake," and threatening that the automaker was "not going to be treated well" by his administration. But his tone changed Wednesday, when he claimed that he had "GREAT NEWS FOR OHIO!" He said Barra told him GM is in the process of... |
| Avengers: Endgame will stream exclusively on Disney+ on December 11th Posted: 08 May 2019 01:44 PM PDT  Avengers: Endgame will stream exclusively on Disney+, the company's upcoming streaming service, beginning on December 11th, roughly one month after the service's launch. Disney CEO Bob Iger made the announcement as part of the company's quarterly earnings report this afternoon. Iger also noted that the company is "very pleased with our Q2 results and thrilled with the record-breaking success of Endgame," adding that it is currently the second-highest grossing film of all time, following James Cameron's Avatar. Endgame broke records with its release, pulling in more than $1.2 billion during its opening weekend, which topped Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $517 million worldwide opening weekend. Disney+ is a main focus for the company,... |

| The Uber driver strike isn’t about hindering Uber — it’s about stealing the narrative Posted: 08 May 2019 01:09 PM PDT  On May 8th, ride-hail drivers in cities across the US went on strike to protest unfair pay, poor working conditions, and a lack of transparency from Uber. The strike, which was timed to coincide with Uber's much-anticipated IPO, generated headlines in all the major newspapers, but it's unclear whether those reports really grasped what was happening. This isn't a strike in the traditional sense: it's public relations. First off, Uber classifies its drivers as independent contractors ineligible for benefits associated with traditional employment, like health insurance, paid time off, or workers compensation. As such, Uber drivers can't unionize, they can't collectively bargain, and they can't really strike in any organized fashion. There... |
