Tesla Arcade hands-on: using a Model 3 steering wheel as a game controller

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 07:38 PM PDT

Tesla is pulling its secret video game features out of the shadows and bringing them front and center starting today as Tesla Arcade, a new game hub found across its line of electric vehicles. And earlier this afternoon, the company brought a Model 3 to downtown San Francisco to let The Verge try out Arcade and its newest title, developer Vector Unit's Beach Buggy Racing 2. It's an Android racing game you can play on a phone or tablet, but what makes it special on a Tesla car is its controller: the literal steering wheel of the Model 3.

Tesla has always prided itself on treating its electric vehicles like computers, and it often touts the ability to send game-changing, over-the-air updates to its cars that add everything from improved...

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will launch on Friday

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 06:25 PM PDT

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the new AR game from Pokémon Go developers Niantic, will start rolling out around the world on Friday, according to an official tweet. The game previously launched in beta in Australia and New Zealand.

It's unclear how long it'll take to reach a more global audience. The wording of Niantic's tweet simply says the worldwide launch will begin on June 21st and says to watch for more information "as the game goes live in your region soon." Pokémon Go took an unusually long time to launch in certain countries like Japan, for example, so you shouldn't necessarily cancel your Friday plans just yet.

From what we've seen, Wizards Unite is similar to Pokémon Go but with more mechanical complexity, which might not...

Xiaomi caught ripping off an artist’s work — including art commissioned by LG

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 05:25 PM PDT

Elon Musk may not be capable of crediting an artist, but there was never any question that infamous picture of Nier: Automata's 2B wasn't his. Chinese consumer electronics giant Xiaomi, on the other hand, appears to have blatantly stolen and combined not one or two, but three pieces of art from the same 3D artist to help promote its devices in Spain.

What you see at the top of this post is the hero image from Xiaomi Spain's website — the first thing you see when you land on Xiaomi's homepage.

Now, take a look at this piece of art. Look familiar?

3D artist Peter Tarka tells The Verge that he created it in May 2018 as part of his Installations collection, as you can see here on his Behance portfolio. It looks like Xiaomi's...

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 reportedly launching on August 7th

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 05:17 PM PDT

Google might be content to just tweet out photos of its upcoming phones, but Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 looks to be following a more traditional script. The latest: Shara Tibken at CNET is reporting that "people familiar" say it will launch on August 7th in New York City. The first week of August certainly is the right timeframe for a Note launch.

The Note is traditionally Samsung's premier platform for showing off new phone technology (setting aside the Galaxy Fold for a moment, anyway). This year, rumors point to the company creating two different sizes, one of which will be 5G, and neither of which will have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Most recently, we have the above-pictured, leaked render from @Onleaks and Pricebaba which shows Samsung...

Magic Leap sues Nreal for allegedly stealing AR glasses design

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 02:30 PM PDT

Major augmented reality hardware startup Magic Leap has sued competitor Nreal — which was founded by a former Magic Leap employee — for allegedly ripping off its technology and design. In a lawsuit filed yesterday, Magic Leap accuses Nreal founder Chi Xu of "blatant copying" and an attempt to "free ride on Magic Leap's business, image, and confidential information" with its upcoming Nreal Light glasses.

Xu worked at Magic Leap for roughly a year between the summers of 2015 and 2016. Magic Leap alleges that Xu used this time to snoop on confidential research and development while "neglect[ing] his work duties" at the company. After leaving, he returned to China and founded Nreal, which demonstrated its Nreal Light glasses at CES in early...

Top Democrat calls for Facebook to halt cryptocurrency plans until Congress investigates

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 02:25 PM PDT

Hours after Facebook announced its plans for a global cryptocurrency project, a top House Democrat is calling for Facebook to halt its plans until Congress and regulators have had a chance to investigate potential risks.

"With the announcement that it plans to create a cryptocurrency, Facebook is continuing its unchecked expansion and extending its reach into the lives of its users," House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) said in a statement. "Given the company's troubled past, I am requesting that Facebook agree to a moratorium on any movement forward on developing a cryptocurrency until Congress and regulators have the opportunity to examine these issues and take action."

Waters's comments came shortly after...

Google will cite where its song lyrics come from following Genius dispute

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 02:17 PM PDT

Google today responded to an ongoing controversy involving lyrics provider and annotator Genius Media, which has accused Google of copying its song lyrics and reposting them as part of a feature in its search engine.

Now, Google is claiming it receives all of its song lyrics through third-party providers, and its asked the provider in question, LyricFind, to "investigate the issue to ensure that they're following industry best practices in their approach." Google says it will also now publicly cite the lyrics provider it's using when it surfaces song lyrics in search results.

The dispute stems from a practice Genius began around 2016 to find out which lyric providers may be copying its song lyrics without credit. Genius first...

T-Mobile and Sprint are reportedly nearing a deal with Dish to save their merger

Posted: 18 Jun 2019 01:30 PM PDT

Dish is negotiating a deal to buy wireless spectrum and Boost Mobile from T-Mobile and Sprint, as the latter two companies look to finally receive approval for their huge, industry-reshaping merger. According to Bloomberg, Dish has emerged as the company most likely to purchase the assets that T-Mobile and Sprint are currently trying to offload in a bid to assuage the Justice Department's concerns with the merger. The satellite TV provider is reportedly willing to pay "at least" $6 billion for the spectrum and Boost Mobile, which is Sprint's prepaid brand. An agreement could be announced as soon as this week.

The Justice Department is coming very close to giving the T-Mobile / Sprint deal a thumbs up, per Bloomberg. That might also...
