President Donald Trump says Apple CEO Tim Cook "made a very compelling argument" that tariffs on China will hamper Apple's ability to compete with Samsung. The pair had dinner on Friday night at the president's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and Trump described the conversation to reporters from publications including Bloomberg, CNBC, and Fox News on the way back to Washington.

"I had a very good meeting with Tim Cook," Trump said. "I have a lot of respect for Tim Cook, and Tim was talking to me about tariffs. And one of the things, and he made a good case, is that Samsung is their number-one competitor, and Samsung is not paying tariffs because they're based in South Korea."

"And it's tough for Apple to pay tariffs if they're...

Despite some progress on voting security since 2016, most states in the US aren't set to require an audit of paper ballots in the November 2020 election, according to a new report out this week from the Brennan Center for Justice.

The report notes that experts and government officials have spent years recommending states adopt verifiable paper ballots for elections, but a handful still use electronic methods potentially vulnerable to cyberattacks. In 2016, 14 states used paperless machines, although the number today is 11, and the report estimates that no more than eight will use them in the 2020 election.

But the report also found that most states won't require an audit of those paper...

This curvy cat font inspired by cat tails was created for a zine about cats

Posted: 18 Aug 2019 11:00 AM PDT

Companies often like to create custom fonts to establish branding, and cat food subscription service Smalls is no different. Following in the footsteps of companies like Netflix, Samsung — heck, even Arby's — Smalls has partnered with Oslo-based type foundry Good Type to create a font called Adieu Smalls.

The curvy font builds on Good Type's Adieu as a base, but it takes inspiration from the way cats curl their tails to express emotions. "When a cat expresses interest, they form a slight hook at the tip of their tail. We applied this in the form of hooked tips to the 'U' and 'E' that break out of the ascender and descender of the characters," Smalls lead designer Miles Barretto told Fast Company. "When a cat expresses pleasure, the tail...

A Short Hike is one part Animal Crossing and one part Breath of the Wild

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.

Claire is on a camping trip with her Aunt May, but she's also waiting for an important call. Unfortunately, the only reception in the park is at the top of the island's giant mountain. Claire's trek up the mountain is the core of the game A Short Hike, and how you get her to the top is pretty open ended. You could go straight up the path to the top of the mountain — but then you'd be missing out on the point of the game.

A Short Hike feels like what you would get if you turned Animal Crossing into an adventure game like The...

9 new trailers you should watch this week

Posted: 18 Aug 2019 09:00 AM PDT

Last week, a large portion of The Verge team went to see Hobbs & Shaw, the ridiculous new Fast & Furious spinoff. Most of this website's staff has a frankly bizarre amount of love for this series, and having never seen any of the films, I've always been a little puzzled by it. But I guess Hobbs & Shaw just about explains everything.

Hobbs & Shaw is a great example of how a movie can get in on the joke and use that to its advantage. The characters are all big, broad, over-the-top caricatures, the plot is so basic as to be inane, and the film will happily do whatever it needs to do in order to land a joke, a punch, or an explosion in a car chase, even if it means making the bare minimum amount of sense.

But in boiling everything down to...

We're getting a better look at the long-awaited portable bluetooth speaker from Sonos thanks to a slew of new images posted by WinFuture. The German publication that specializes in Microsoft leaks has posted what it says are "official marketing images" of the new speaker, while also giving us a name for product S17: Sonos Move.

The images give us a first glimpse at the stationary base station as well as the built-in handle whereby the Sonos Move can be undocked and transformed into an ordinary Bluetooth speaker via a toggle button on the rear. We're also getting a first look at how the Sonos Move charges, either via the USB-C jack or the two charging contacts near the base of the speaker. It's a clever design that lets you extend your...
