| After outcry, Apple carves out room for rival parental control apps to exist Posted: 04 Jun 2019 06:42 PM PDT  Apple updated its App Store Review Guidelines this week at WWDC 2019 — and many of those changes appear to be aimed squarely at the kinds of controversies that recently led us to ask whether Apple can be trusted with the App Store to begin with. Most prominently, as The New York Times points out, the company appears to be backing away from its stance that screen time and parental control apps shouldn't have access to the same powerful mobile device management (MDM) and VPN APIs that big companies do — which the company conveniently used earlier this year to remove a whole bunch of those apps just as it was coincidentally introducing it own Screen Time feature. "It's not clear why we should trust big enterprise companies to not steal... |
| YouTube decides that homophobic harassment does not violate its policies Posted: 04 Jun 2019 05:55 PM PDT  YouTube has at last formally responded to an explosive and controversial feud between Vox writer and video host Carlos Maza and conservative YouTuber Steven Crowder. The verdict: YouTube says Crowder did not violate any of its policies, and that Crowder's YouTube channel will stay up, despite his repeated homophobic slurs directed at Maza in videos posted to YouTube. (Disclosure: Vox is a publication of Vox Media, which also owns The Verge.) Crowder has routinely, over the course of years, made derogatory and mocking remarks about Maza's sexuality and ethnicity when making videos attempting to debunk the Vox video series Strikethrough. Crowder also sells a T-shirt on his website, an image of which is also his featured Twitter banner... |
| Apple will permanently remove Dashboard in macOS Catalina Posted: 04 Jun 2019 03:38 PM PDT  Apple's Dashboard is getting quietly removed from the company's upcoming macOS Catalina update, as first noted by Appleosophy and later reported by MacRumors. The Dashboard first launched 14 years ago with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger in 2005 and saw its final update in 2011 with the launch of OS X 10.7 Lion. The app first introduced the concept of widgets to Apple's desktop operating system and became a hallmark of OS X design for more than a decade. In particular, Dashboard became well known for its desktop Sticky Note feature and its overall skeuomorphic approach best emphasized by the clock, stocks, and calculator widgets, a design philosophy that formed the foundation of the first version of iOS that launched a few years after OS X Tiger.... |
| Hertz launches $1,000-per-month car subscription service Posted: 04 Jun 2019 02:55 PM PDT  Hertz is now the latest in an increasingly long line of companies piloting car subscription services. The rental car giant announced Tuesday that it is launching a pilot version of a subscription service called "Hertz My Car" in Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia. The Hertz My Car subscription service will be offered in two tiers, both of which include full vehicle maintenance, roadside assistance, damage to the vehicle (though with a $1,000 deductible), and limited liability protection. The $999 per month tier includes full-size sedans, small SUVs, and trucks. Luxury sedans, regular SUVs, and larger trucks will be available for $1,399 per month. Subscribers will be able to swap their vehicle twice a month within their own tier (Hertz... |
| Senator calls for FTC investigation into ‘dangerous detox teas’ on social media Posted: 04 Jun 2019 02:51 PM PDT  On Tuesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) wrote to the FTC requesting a federal investigation into the sale of "detox teas" on social media that are pervasively marketed by influencers on social media. Online influencers like the Kardashians have long peddled weight loss teas to their millions of followers on Instagram and YouTube. Companies like Flat Tummy Co use brand ambassador programs that pay influencers to post a certain number of photos and stories to their Instagram accounts and other social media accounts to market their products. Teas are some of the most notable items, but other weight loss and appetite suppressors like shakes and lollipops are marketed in the same way as well. |
| Supercomputer to undergo rigorous exam after returning to Earth from the space station Posted: 04 Jun 2019 02:50 PM PDT  After spending a year and a half on the International Space Station, Hewlett Packard Enterprise's experimental space supercomputer is now back on Earth — and the company is poised to do an autopsy on the machine. Ultimately, HPE wants to know just how much wear and tear the machine sustained while in orbit. That way, the company can potentially build supercomputers for use on deep-space missions to the Moon and Mars someday. HPE had a clear goal for this experiment, known as the Spaceborne Computer: could a regular commercial supercomputer manufactured for use on Earth operate the same in space? A supercomputer can be a valuable asset on a spacecraft, but the space environment can also be an unforgiving place for machinery. Outside of... |
| Netflix is making an animated Jurassic Park spinoff series Posted: 04 Jun 2019 02:03 PM PDT  Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is the newest animated addition to the Jurassic Park franchise. The new Netflix series returns a group of unsuspecting teenagers to the dino-infested island of Isla Nublar, but this time, they're going to travel to the opposite side of the island to visit "a new adventure camp." You know what they say about visiting disaster-prone areas where people have died due to roaming bands of prehistoric predators — "Just try the other side of the island!" Unfortunately, this strategy doesn't work, and the dinosaurs begin to wreak havoc. Who ever could have guessed? The six teens will have to band together, going "from strangers to friends to family if they're going to survive," according to a press release. The... |
| Ads from influencers you don’t follow are about to hit your Instagram feed and Stories Posted: 04 Jun 2019 01:00 PM PDT  Instagram is now allowing advertisers to promote branded content from influencers as ads in the feed and in Stories. That means you might start seeing an influencer's paid partnership with Old Navy on your screen, regardless of whether you're following them. Plenty of creators make their living from posting sponsored content, but only their followers currently see their ads. Today's announcement opens up creators' sponsored content beyond their followings, just like how ads have already been showing up throughout Instagram in between posts and Stories. "With branded content ads, businesses have an opportunity to tell their brand stories through creators' voices," Instagram's announcement post explains.... |
| Apple is getting sued by developers who say the App Store is a monopoly Posted: 04 Jun 2019 12:22 PM PDT  A pair of developers say that Apple has for years maintained a monopoly over the sale and distribution of iOS apps, and they're suing the tech giant in a US federal court in an attempt to break its "improper monopolization of this market." The lawsuit seeks class action status, so it could potentially represent anyone who's ever sold an iOS app in the US. There's no question that Apple has almost complete and total control over the distribution of iOS apps. With few exceptions, all apps have to go through the App Store, and they all have to comply with Apple's rules in order to get onto Apple's hardware platforms. The question is whether Apple maintaining this control constitutes an illegal monopoly. |
| How companies like Google are dealing with the ethics of AI Posted: 04 Jun 2019 11:55 AM PDT  The Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel and AI reporter James Vincent discuss AI ethics and bias, and, specifically, what companies like Google are doing to tackle such challenges. Earlier this year, James spoke to Google's head of AI, Jeff Dean, about these questions. Bias within AI is a huge problem. As algorithms are used to make important decisions in areas as varied as health care and housing, researchers want to make sure that these systems don't reflect — or amplify — prejudices within society. As well as the technical difficulties of tackling bias, there are broader questions that need answering. Like, should we trust companies like Google and Amazon to regulate themselves? Do we need new legislation to make sure algorithms... |
