Former Equifax executive sentenced to prison for insider trading prior to data breach

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 12:58 PM PDT

The Justice Department announced this week that former Equifax CIO Jun Ying has been sentenced to four months in prison for insider trading. He pled guilty earlier this year for for selling his stock in the company prior to the announcement that it had been hit with a massive data breach in 2017.

The Security and Exchanges Commission charged Ying with insider trading last year. The Department of Justice says that in August 2017, after learning about the breach, he began researching the impact that a similar breach had on another company's stock price. Later that morning, he promptly exercised and sold all of his stock options, earning nearly a million dollars from the sale. In doing so, he avoided a loss of $117,000 that he otherwise...

Slo-mo shoot ‘em up My Friend Pedro will make you obsess over high scores

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 11:00 AM PDT

It's a good time to be an indie developer making games for the Nintendo Switch, and the most recent title to prove that point is My Friend Pedro.

From developer DeadToast Entertainment, the formal entity by sole designer Victor Agren, and renowned indie publisher Devolver Digital, My Friend Pedro is an evolution of Agren's Flash experience fans of Adult Swim web games might have played a half decade ago. Now as a full-fledged console title, it's easily one of the most stylish and aesthetically distinctive games I've played in quite a while. Even as a $20 indie game meant to be played over just a few sittings, what makes the game truly shine is both its replay value and how it pushes you to engage with its perfection-demanding higher...

Jony Ive made the entire tech world care about design

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 10:00 AM PDT

I love industrial design and have for as long as I can remember. As a child, I broke my dad's Braun electric razor playing with the dial that raised and lowered the blades because the action was so cool and "clicky." At school, I dreamed of being either a product designer or an architect.

Those dreams were dashed when I flunked technical drawing (I was off by over 4cm and the tolerance of the test was less than 0.5cm) and failed my physics and maths exams, both of which are somewhat vital to designing beautiful buildings that don't fall down. So for the past 30 years my inner industrial designer has lived vicariously through the career of my contemporary (he's only a few years younger than me) and fellow Brit, Sir Jony Ive.

7 new trailers you should watch this week

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 09:00 AM PDT

I watched (most of) the new Bob Dylan documentary that Martin Scorsese made for Netflix the other week. It has some really relaxed and quirky behind-the-scenes footage of Dylan and the (often famous) people around him, along with some great performances.

But there's one thing about the documentary that is completely bizarre: portions of it are fake. Scorsese introduces viewers to a handful of talking heads who say they played a key role in documenting or creating the tour Dylan is embarking on, but in reality, they're just actors.

It's not really clear why Scorsese did this (maybe it would be clearer if I had finished the film, but reviewers seem to say otherwise). It's sort of just a prank, one you could seemingly go without finding out...

Hans Zimmer designed the sound for BMW’s futuristic concept car

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 08:40 AM PDT

BMW unveiled some of its plans for electric vehicles earlier this week, saying that it would debut 25 electric vehicles by 2023, as some nifty concepts, like its Motorrad Vision DC Roadster motorcycle and the sleek BMW Vision M NEXT concept sports car. The company decided to launch a website (via TechCrunch) to have some fun with its futuristic-looking EV, which included getting Blade Runner 2049 composer Hans Zimmer to develop a science fiction-like sound for it.

The car does look like something out of a cyberpunk movie or video game, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it pops up as part of a product placement deal with some Hollywood studio in the next couple of years. EVs don't produce any engine noise, so companies have been...

This week’s best deals include the 2017 iPad Pro and Steam’s summer sale

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT

Prices tend to drop around each major US holiday, and with July 4th around the corner, we're seeing that start to happen. And then there's Amazon Prime Day 2019, a shopping holiday that will begin on July 15th, though we expect to see a few early bird sales before then.

We'll be keeping you in the know about any good deals coming up, but these are the best deals that we've seen this week.

Phones

Sony's Xperia 1 is now available for preorder. The price is $949.99, which is admittedly not cheap for a phone, but if you order before July 12th, you'll receive a free set of Sony's 1000X M3 wireless noise-canceling headphones with your purchase. Those usually cost around $300 or more, which is a great incentive if you were tossing around the...

Trump says he could lift Huawei sanctions after Xi meeting

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 07:57 AM PDT

The G20 Summit wrapped up today in Japan, during which US President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Following their meeting, Trump announced that the two countries would resume trade talks and that the US would hold off on implementing new tariffs indefinitely. He also indicated that US companies would be permitted to resume sales to Huawei, although it's unclear when or how that will happen.

In May, Trump signed an executive order that allowed the US government to block sales by US companies to foreign firms deemed a security risk. It's not immediately clear what — or if any — steps have been taken to lift the restriction on sales to the beleaguered Chinese technology company. According to The Washington Post,...

Twitch is closing in on its Christchurch trolls

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 07:00 AM PDT

For just over a month, Twitch has been trying to track down a group of anonymous trolls who spammed the platform with violent footage of the Christchurch shooting in the wake of the attack. That hunt kicked off in earnest when Twitch filed suit against the trolls earlier in June, but new filings show the company has more clues to the perpetrators' identity than anyone suspected, including specific email addresses for at least three people and Discord logs where the attack was organized.

The evidence was submitted in an ex parte filing on Thursday, which included a deposition from an incident response engineer at Twitch. According to the filings, Twitch has identified a specific user it believes to be responsible for coordinating the...

How to move from Chrome to another browser

Posted: 29 Jun 2019 06:00 AM PDT

Despite some new improvements to user privacy, Google's popular Chrome browser has recently been lambasted in some quarters as problematical when it comes to privacy issues. These same articles suggest that if you're concerned about the security of your data, you should try an alternative browser, such as Firefox, Safari, or Brave.

Of course, anyone who has used a browser for any length of time will have built up a considerable library of bookmarks, preferences, and saved passwords. If you do move to a new browser, you won't have to sacrifice your bookmarks; you can easily import them from Chrome into your new browser.

Here's how to do it.

If you're moving to Firefox:

After you've installed Firefox, click on the "Library" icon to the...
