| Netflix is reportedly adapting Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Posted: 30 Jun 2019 06:19 PM PDT  Another Neil Gaiman property is being adapted for the small screen. The Hollywood Reporter says that Netflix is closing in on a deal with Warner Bros. to adapt the author's acclaimed comic series Sandman into a live-action TV show, in what is being described as "the most expensive TV series that DC entertainment has ever done." Wonder Woman screenwriter Allan Heinberg will act as writer, producer, and showrunner for the series, with Neil Gaiman and David Goyer acting as executive producers. THR notes that a final deal hasn't been finalized, and but indicates that the project is headed for a straight-to-series pickup. Sources told the publication that Warner Bros. (which has the rights to the show), opted to sell the series to another... |
| Iran seized nearly a thousand computers used to illegally mine Bitcoin Posted: 30 Jun 2019 01:30 PM PDT  After detecting an unusual spike in energy consumption, Iranian authorities seized nearly a thousand computers being used to mine cryptocurrency, according to the country's state media. Authorities discovered two bitcoin farms operating in abandoned factories in Yazd province, which caused a seven percent spike in the country's power consumption this month. Iran's central bank banned cryptocurrencies last year, citing concerns over money laundering. According to RadioFreeEurope, officials have said that the practice is making the local power grid "unstable," and warned that people engaging in the practice could be cut off. Cryptocurrency is "mined" as high-powered computers solve mathematical problems, a task that requires... |
| Apple will repair 2018 MacBook Airs with faulty logic board for free Posted: 30 Jun 2019 01:03 PM PDT  A "very small number" of Apple's 2018 MacBook Air computers suffer from an issue with their logic boards, and the company will replace the components for free, according to documents seen by 9to5Mac. The site reveals that certain 13-inch Retina screen 2018 MacBook Air models have an issue with their logic boards. The documentation reportedly only says that the issue relates to power, and 9to5Mac found that some users have complained about their devices not turning on. The company will reportedly be emailing customers of affected devices, directing them to take them to their nearest Apple Store or authorized dealer to be inspected. If Apple's personnel find that there is an issue, it will replace the logic board for free for four years... |
| Amazon is adding a new tab to highlight live television to its Fire TVs Posted: 30 Jun 2019 12:22 PM PDT  Amazon is making it easier for users to find live television on its Fire TV units. The company says that it will soon roll out a "Live" tab that collects all of the various live programming across apps that users might have installed. Amazon describes the tab as a "single destination" that "brings together your live sports, news, and channels from select OTT services, streaming apps (e.g. PlayStation Vue), paid subscriptions, and over-the-air antennas into one consolidated view." The tab is located on the TV's main navigation menus, and the section will group the channels that you've recently viewed. It'll also show off lists of other channels "which share similar programming," like sports or breaking news. The tab isn't quite live... |
| Apple says that it’s focused on quality over quantity when it comes to its TV shows Posted: 30 Jun 2019 12:05 PM PDT  Apple's head of services and programming says that the company has adopted a quality-over-quantity mindset when it comes to its forthcoming Apple TV Plus service. This weekend, The Sunday Times released an interview with Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, Eddy Cue, in which he talks about what to expect from the service forthcoming service, which is expected to launch later this fall. The revelation is a rebuke to Netflix programming model: releasing as much original content as it can to attract viewers. In the interview, Cue says that Apple won't be "creating the most" original content for users, but will be "creating the best." When asked about Netflix's model, he notes that there's "nothing wrong with... |
| Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes will go on trial next summer Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:34 AM PDT  Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of blood-testing startup Theranos, will officially go to trial in San Jose next year, according to the US District Judge Edward J. Davila of the Northern District of California.

The Wall Street Journal also reports that prosecutors have collected millions of pages of documents, and that the... |
| US troops in Afghanistan will soon test a tiny, pocket-sized drone in the field Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT  The US Army will soon be equipping some units in the field with tiny personal drones, reports Stars & Stripes. The 1st Battalion of the 82nd Airborne Division's 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment will begin using the devices next month in Afghanistan as the military works to figure out the best way to use them. FLIR Systems has been testing the Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System with a variety of units — the US Army began testing the drone back in 2016 and 2017, and the company picked up a trio of big contracts with the American, British, and French militaries this year. At the end of April, the 82nd Airborne's 3rd Combat Brigade began training with the drones, playing out a variety of scenarios in which the devices could be... |
| An Amazon engineer made an AI-powered cat flap to stop his cat from bringing home dead animals Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:00 AM PDT  Machine learning can be an incredible addition to any tinkerer's toolbox, helping to fix that little problem in life that no commercial gadget can handle. For Amazon engineer Ben Hamm, that problem was stopping his "sweet, murderous cat" Metric from bringing home dead and half-dead prey in the middle of the night and waking him up. Hamm gave an entertaining presentation on this subject at Ignite Seattle, and you can watch a video of his talk above. In short, in order to stop Metric from following his instincts, Hamm hooked up the cat flap in his door to an AI-enabled camera (Amazon's own DeepLens) and an Arduino-powered locking system. |
| Gato Roboto is a streamlined Metroid starring a cat in a mech Posted: 30 Jun 2019 07:00 AM PDT  It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. Gato Roboto opens with what has to be the worst possible outcome of a cat stepping on a keyboard: the misstep causes a spaceship to crash into a mysterious abandoned planet. For players, though, it's a great outcome, because you get to play a streamlined Metroid game as a cat in a mech suit. After crashing, Kiki the cat's owner and partner Gary is pinned down on their ship. Unable to do anything except communicate with Kiki, he sends her off to find a way for them to get off the planet. What Kiki finds is a dilapidated,... |
| Play with synths in your browser with Ableton’s fun, interactive tool Posted: 30 Jun 2019 06:00 AM PDT  Synthesizers are mysterious and intimidating boxes to me, but electronic music company Ableton is setting out to explain and demystify the instrument. The company has created an interactive browser game called Learning Synths that teaches users the basics of synthesizers. The friendly tool is thoughtfully designed with fun illustrations and widgets that make it perfect for beginners to tinker around with. Learning Synths starts out with a lesson on amplitude and pitch, but if you want to skip ahead to synth concepts, you can click on the hamburger menu on the top left corner to learn about envelopes, LFOs, and oscillators. The lessons culminate in the Playground, seen above, where users can play with presets and sequences. The site works... |
