| HTC’s Vive Pro Eye VR headset with eye-tracking arrives for $1,599 Posted: 06 Jun 2019 05:12 PM PDT  Virtual reality and eye-tracking seem like an incredible match — for reasons I'll illustrate below — and now HTC's first dedicated stab at an eye-tracking headset has arrived in the US and Canada for $1,599. That's the word from HTC's official blog post, following an earlier release for the headset in China and Europe last month. Why eye-tracking? As my colleague Nick explained when he tried the Vive Pro Eye in January, it not only allows you to control things in VR just by looking at them, but can also produce higher fidelity VR images with less processing power — by only rendering the parts of a scene that you're actually looking at in high resolution, instead of wasting those resources on your peripheral vision too. It's a technique... |
| Amazon is using video of suspected thieves to help promote its doorbell camera brand Posted: 06 Jun 2019 03:59 PM PDT  Amazon's Ring has recently been accused of using fear to sell its doorbell cameras, promoting a culture where neighbors are encouraged to publicly suspect the worst about those they see through the lens, and where they can theoretically consume so many reports of violent crime that they could believe it's the norm — even though the data suggests that violent crime has fallen sharply. But most of that discussion has centered around Ring's Neighbors app, an opt-in community where Ring owners publish their own videos. Today, Motherboard reports that Amazon has published video of a suspected thief in a far more public place: a promoted post on Facebook.

| Beyond Meat’s success may mean more fake food is on the way Posted: 06 Jun 2019 03:50 PM PDT  Beyond Meat's sales tripled this quarter in its very first earnings report as a public company, the company said today. The company also said it expects to break even this year. Its shares have taken off substantially since IPO even before the surprisingly good earnings report, and may be good news for Silicon Valley investors who are backing other fake food companies. Beyond Meat makes, well, fake meat: the Beyond Burger. So too does Impossible Foods, its major rival (they make the Impossible Burger). Arguably there's an appetite for them both: just two days ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that purveyors of meat-free burgers are struggling to meet demand from fast food chains. Those chains are... |
| 17 automakers reportedly ask Trump to back off his plan to lower emissions standards Posted: 06 Jun 2019 03:47 PM PDT  A group of 17 major automakers have co-signed a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to not go through with his plan to significantly lower emissions standards in the US, according to reports from The New York Times and Reuters. The letter, delivered today, reportedly calls Trump's plan "untenable." Trump has been pushing to lower emissions standards for over a year now, and while it might seem counterintuitive that major car manufacturers would be against that, this letter makes crystal clear that are. The issue is that California has much more stringent standards and is leading 17 states in a suit against the EPA over emissions as well. That's the situation that had led to this letter, just ahead of what was meant to be rollout... |
| Android malware once found a way onto phones before they even shipped Posted: 06 Jun 2019 03:04 PM PDT  Today, Google posted what amounts to a case study of some very persistent and clever hackers who kept trying to get malware on Android phones. It's about the "Triada family" of apps designed to put spam and ads on a device. After a brief history of how it started in 2016 and an overview of how early versions worked, Google got to the surprising turn in the story: Triada devised a method to get malware on Android phones virtually at the factory, before customers had even opened the box or even installed a single app. The trick is that a whole lot of smartphone manufacturers don't have the chops necessary to build all the features they want to use in-house, so they depend on third party vendors to build them. Those third party vendors... |
| Some questions about The RealReal’s IPO, from a woman who remembers Pets.com Posted: 06 Jun 2019 01:26 PM PDT  Perhaps you have heard that The RealReal, an online consignment shop for luxury goods, has filed for an initial public offering under the ticker "REAL." Ok, fine, so far so what? Well, the company's founder and CEO is Julie Wainwright. For those of you who did not immediately emit an ultrasonic shriek, Wainwright was the CEO of Pets.com, which went bust less than a year after its IPO in 2000. Pets.com's infamous failure is still used as a synecdoche for the collapse of the 1990s Silicon Valley bubble. "It failed, and I became sort of a pariah," Wainwright said, according to a CNBC report in 2017. "I was the dumbest person in the Valley. It was a little tough." Wainwright insists that Pets.com was a good idea that was ahead of its time,... |
| AT&T’s WarnerMedia streaming service to cost “between $16 and $17 a month” Posted: 06 Jun 2019 12:43 PM PDT  AT&T's WarnerMedia will launch its streaming video service in beta later this year, bundling HBO, Cinemax, and a library of Warner Bros. movies and TV. The package will cost "between $16 and $17 a month," a strange pricing strategy, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Currently, HBO Go costs $14.99 a month — so AT&T's service is basically that, with the addition of Cinemax and likely a bunch of DC Movies for up to a couple more bucks a month. WSJ reported that the service is expected to be fully up and running next March. Eventually, the service will introduce its own original programming as well, though it's unclear how grand those ambitions are. WarnerMedia is also considering a less expensive ad-supported version of the... |
| Samsung’s curved TVs cost hundreds of dollars less today, plus other deals Posted: 06 Jun 2019 12:03 PM PDT  I'm not going to tell you to buy a curved TV. There are reasons. But if you're in the market for a giant curved Samsung screen, today is an awfully good day to buy one — seeing how both 65-inch and 55-inch models of Samsung's 2019 and 2018 7-series 4K screens are currently up to hundreds of dollars off.
All of these TVs should be new enough to get Apple's new Apple TV app and AirPlay 2 functionality. Since Samsung's curved TV lineup has narrowed in recent years and we're now seeing deep discounts, this might be one of your last... |
| Jeff Bezos interrupted by a protestor asking him to do something about chicken farms Posted: 06 Jun 2019 11:55 AM PDT  Amazon is holding its first ever re:MARS conference in Las Vegas, dedicated to high tech themes like AI and robotics. But company founder and CEO Jeff Bezos was interrupted during a talk on stage by a protestor with more basic concerns: the welfare of chickens. Bezos was being interviewed during a keynote talk when the protestor from Direct Action Everywhere (DXE) walked quickly on stage, wearing what looked like a conference lanyard and holding a single white rose. The protestor said she had been inside "Amazon's chicken farms," and called on Bezos to stop the abuses of animals in these facilities. "You're the president of Amazon and you can help the animals," said the protestor. |
| NASA’s Mars Helicopter has passed another flight test Posted: 06 Jun 2019 11:02 AM PDT  NASA's Mars Helicopter — which is exactly what you think it would be — has recently finished another round of important tests and is expected to be integrated with the rover for the Mars 2020 launch this summer. Getting a heavier-than-air craft to fly on Mars is tough because Martian air is much thinner than Earth's. Earlier this year, JPL conducted tests of the helicopter in "a simulated Martian environment" that put the helicopter through temperatures as low as minus 130 degrees Fahrenheit and flew it in a vacuum chamber that simulated Martian air — it was also attached to a "motorized lanyard" to help simulate Martian gravity. Some of the testing was to ensure that the Mars Helicopter could survive the conditions it would experience... |
