| Democrats call for FaceApp to be investigated because it comes from Russia Posted: 17 Jul 2019 04:29 PM PDT  FaceApp — the photo editing app that uses neural networks to create dramatic photo edits — is skyrocketing to social media popularity again, thanks to a new aging filter, but Democrats aren't on board with the fun. The Democratic National Committee instead reportedly sent out an alert warning 2020 Democratic presidential campaigns from using the app due to concerns about the app's Russian developers, according to a report from CNN, and Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has officially asked the FBI and FTC to conduct a national security investigation into FaceApp, according to NBC News:

| Netflix CEO Reed Hastings on the streaming wars and a poor Q2: ‘Our position is excellent’ Posted: 17 Jul 2019 04:02 PM PDT  Omar Marques/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images People love a good fight, and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he believes the looming streaming wars will be a major net positive for every player entering the space. It's a positive sentiment — one that comes just a couple of hours after Netflix posted a troublesome earnings report. The company lost subscribers in its American market for the first time since 2011, seeing a drop of roughly 130,000 paid accounts. Although the company added 2.7 million subscribers globally, that's only half of what executives predicted they would see. The concerning earnings report led to conversations among analysts and reporters about whether Netflix executives could put investors' concerns to bed as the streaming wars — a term that refers to incoming... |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 leak all but confirms the stylus will stick out Posted: 17 Jul 2019 03:50 PM PDT  The Galaxy Note 10 smartphone may not be the only device Samsung reveals at its August 7th event in New York City — it'll be joined by a full-size Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 slate with its very own S-Pen stylus, according to Android Headlines. We'd previously seen real-world images of that tablet leak out last week, but AH is now contributing a heck of a lot more grist to the rumor mill, including that August 7th date and a wide array of what appear to be official press renders for the device. They more clearly show the tablet's dual cameras, quad speakers, and lack of a headphone jack, as well as our first glimpse at the tablet's stylus, optional keyboard cover, and Microsoft Surface-esque kickstand. Perhaps most importantly,... |
| Netflix suffers first major loss of US subscribers, blames price hikes Posted: 17 Jul 2019 02:08 PM PDT  Ore Huiying/Getty Images for Netflix Netflix didn't add nearly as many subscribers as the company projected it would in the second quarter of 2019, and saw a loss in US subscribers for the first time since 2011, when the company separated its DVD mail-order system and streaming platform. The company lost approximately 130,000 subscribers in the United States in Q2, and only gained 2.7 million global subscribers, after projecting it would add 5 million. CEO Reed Hastings blamed the stagnancy on the company's price hikes, and a lack of original content to bring in new subscribers. The company instituted higher pricing plans in January, one of its biggest increases to date. Plan changes went into effect for both new and returning subscribers. As such, paid memberships in the... |
| Instagram expands its test to hide like counts Posted: 17 Jul 2019 02:00 PM PDT  Instagram Instagram is giving more users the option to publicly hide the like count on their posts. The company announced today that it's expanding its hidden like count test, which it first announced in May, to six more countries: Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. The test started in Canada, where people who were included in the test had their likes hidden by default. They had to opt out to show the likes publicly, although they can always see that like count on their own content. The feature hides users' public like counts on videos and photos in the Feed, on the web, and within profiles. Instagram said at the time of the initial announcement that it wants followers to "focus on the photos and videos you share, not how... |

| Netflix confirms it will launch a mobile-only streaming plan starting in India Posted: 17 Jul 2019 01:27 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge After giving it a test run in a few countries earlier this year, Netflix has confirmed it will officially introduce a new plan that only lets customers stream content on a mobile device. The plan, set to launch in India during the third quarter, will be priced lower than the company's existing subscriptions. In a letter to investors released this afternoon, Netflix said the mobile-only plan "will be an effective way to introduce a larger number of people in India to Netflix and to further expand our business in a market where Pay TV ARPU (average revenue per user) is low (below $5)." Netflix announced the new plan alongside financial results that revealed a big miss on customer growth that was way off the mark of the company's forecast.... |
| How Apple factory workers steal pieces of new iPhones — and sometimes get away Posted: 17 Jul 2019 01:00 PM PDT  Leaks are common in the tech industry, but for the past six years, Apple has been doing everything in its power to prevent them from getting out into the world. Following a big leak that spoiled the announcement of the iPhone 5C, The Information reports that Apple created its own manufacturing security division, dubbed the New Product Security Team (NPS), to closely monitor its suppliers and assembly partners in China. The team was also tasked with sealing up methods used by some factory workers to leak information about its new devices, be it in the form of device schematics and measurements or physical components. The iPhone 5C leak was carried out when an employee of Jabil, one of Apple's suppliers, was able to drive away with... |
| SpaceX’s test rocket catches fire after engine test Posted: 17 Jul 2019 12:56 PM PDT  The second fireball | Image: LabPadre in cooperation with BocaChicaMaria1 A prototype version of SpaceX's next-generation rocket caught fire last night following an engine test in Boca Chica, Texas. About four minutes after SpaceX briefly ignited the vehicle's engine, a second small explosion engulfed the rocket in flames for a few seconds — seemingly by accident. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the incident may postpone the first big flight of the vehicle. The hardware that caught on fire is the test model of SpaceX's next big rocket, the Starship: a massive spacecraft the company is developing to take people and cargo into deep space. SpaceX is building multiple versions of the rocket at the company's test facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida and Boca Chica. These vehicles are meant to try out the... |
| Ford secretly proposed a pickup truck emoji, and it might make it to our phones next year Posted: 17 Jul 2019 10:23 AM PDT  Image: Ford Ford revealed today that it was behind a successful campaign to get a pickup truck emoji shortlisted for next year's wave of new characters. It's a reasonable addition to the long list of emoji currently available to us — pickups represent a growing portion of US auto sales — but its development comes with an important caveat: Ford didn't disclose that it was behind the proposal to make the new emoji, according to The Atlantic. The pickup truck emoji stands to benefit Ford in particular, since it's the market leader in the category. Pickups are more profitable for automakers, too, so there's incentive to push consumers toward them. Ford made a commercial, narrated by Bryan Cranston, touting its achievement in creating the emoji. Ford's... |
