| Genius.com accuses Google of copying its song lyrics Posted: 16 Jun 2019 02:07 PM PDT  In the last couple of years, if you type a song title into Google, you'll get a box that includes the its lyrics, alongside the usual search results. It's a useful tool, but one company that specializes in song lyrics, Genius Media, says that Google has been copying their lyrics for years for its search results. Genius has been around since 2009, and it describes itself as a platform "platform for annotating clever rap lyrics," and has since expanded into other types of music, and a place for music fans to annotate and discuss their favorite songs. Genius Media says that Google has been copying its lyrics, according to The Wall Street Journal. The site says that it's brought up its complaint with the search giant for years. In a... |
| Watch Adam Savage make a flying Iron Man suit in his new show, Savage Builds Posted: 16 Jun 2019 12:23 PM PDT  Adam Savage became a household name as the cohost of Mythbusters, and now, he's returned to the Discovery Channel with a new show: Savage Builds. In each episode of the series, Savage goes out and builds something, consulting with other experts and builders. The series just began airing on Discovery, and the first episode, in which he builds a flying Iron Man costume, is available for free online (at least in the US) for the next two weeks. Think of it like a builder's version of Mythbusters: take a thing from pop culture or history, and make a version that functions as closely as possible to its on-screen counterpart. In the show's first episode, Savage sets out to build a real, flying Iron Man costume that's also bulletproof. To do... |
| Newly recovered Ground Zero photos show why you should back up your CD-Rs now Posted: 16 Jun 2019 12:00 PM PDT  When comedian and activist Jon Stewart gave an impassioned speech before Congress to seek ongoing aid for 9/11 first responders, it inspired Internet Archive software curator and digital preservationist Jason Scott to share something timely with the world as well: a newly discovered cache of photos from one of the workers who toiled away at Ground Zero, and who'd saved thousands of those photos on CD-R.

| Walmart launched an unlimited grocery delivery subscription service Posted: 16 Jun 2019 08:42 AM PDT  Walmart has introduced an unlimited grocery delivery service called Delivery Unlimited, as spotted by TechCrunch. The service is an expansion of the company's existing delivery and pickup efforts, and costs $98 a year. The company already offered a delivery service for online orders: customers could have items shipped to their nearest store for free, or to their home for a $9.95 delivery fee for each order.

| Neal Stephenson’s Fall is Paradise Lost with brain uploading and weaponized fake news Posted: 16 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT  The Singularity — a moment where technological progress speeds up exponentially and humanity as we know it becomes obsolete — has jokingly been referred to as the "rapture of the nerds." Neal Stephenson's novel Fall, or, Dodge in Hell takes things a step further: what if the nerds weren't simply the prophets of a new order, but literally became our gods? Over a sprawling web of modern techno-thriller, near-future sci-fi, and high fantasy subplots, Fall lays out a theory on the mind-body problem, a retelling of John Milton's Paradise Lost, and a riff on the classic sci-fi trope of brain uploading. It's an ambitious but massively uneven book — mixing wide-eyed wonder with a pessimism that borders on sociopathy. Spoilers for some major plot... |

| New Hampshire installs first historical marker to honor computer programming Posted: 16 Jun 2019 07:10 AM PDT  New Hampshire has installed what appears to be the first historical highway marker honoring computer programming, according to the Concord Monitor. The new sign honors BASIC, Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, a programming language that was invented at Dartmouth College in 1964. The sign came about after Concord Monitor journalist David Brooks noted in a column that the state's 255 historical markers honored things like bridges and historical figures, but that there was "distressingly little celebration of New Hampshire's technical and scientific accomplishments." He went on to advocate for the state to install a sign for BASIC and the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System — a precursor to the internet. "They matter at least as... |
| Harvest Moon: Mad Dash is a fast-paced, welcome take on the slow franchise Posted: 16 Jun 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Harvest Moon: Mad Dash is not your typical Harvest Moon. Instead of settling in to farm and starting a family, Mad Dash has you racing to harvest crops, catch fish, or milk cows alongside another player. It's a frenzied version of a franchise that has long played with long-term player investments. If Mad Dash seems outside the realm of what Harvest Moon can be, producer Yasutaka Maekawa has a counter — Mario. There aren't just traditional platformer Mario games, he says, but also sports, racing, party games, and more. "Traditional Harvest Moon is more of a long game," Maekawa says. "How about we go opposite, make it a really quick game, but have that Harvest Moon feel to it — the crops, watering, taking care of animals?" In Mad Dash,... |
