| Twitter releases new Catalyst app for macOS Catalina Posted: 10 Oct 2019 07:17 PM PDT  Twitter's stop-start history of Mac development entered a new era today with the release of yet another all-new app. The Twitter app is now available in the Mac App Store, but only for users running the new version of macOS, Catalina. That's because the app was built with a Catalina framework called Catalyst that allows developers to port their iPad apps over to the Mac with less work than before. Twitter announced that it would support Catalyst at this year's WWDC in June, though other companies like Netflix have been less enthusiastic. Twitter is by far the most notable Catalyst app so far. In Twitter's case, it's not like the new Mac app is a straight port of the iPad app running in a window — the UI is mostly different overall. But... |
| Google Maps now helps visually impaired people cross the street and stay on course Posted: 10 Oct 2019 06:06 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Google Maps can now help visually impaired people get to their walking destinations more easily — by continually reminding them that they're on the right path, warning them when there's a busy crosswalk ahead, telling them how far away their next turn is using voice navigation, and automatically pointing them back in the right direction if they have to stop. Here's a cool video demonstrating the improved guidance in action: Google's blog post says the improved guidance is now available on iOS and Android, but only in English in the US and in Japanese in Japan, at the moment. If you want to use it, you can turn it on in Google Maps' settings menu. The company says support for more languages and countries is "on the way." |
| Elon Musk and NASA administrator claim SpaceX could fly its first crew in the first part of 2020 Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:55 PM PDT  NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine (L) and Elon Musk (R) at SpaceX's uncrewed test flight in March | Image: NASA SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine reassured journalists this afternoon that their partnership to fly NASA astronauts to the space station is still strong and that the first crews could launch on SpaceX vehicles as soon as the first quarter of next year. This show of strength at SpaceX headquarters comes just two weeks after the two figures exchanged public jabs in the press, suggesting friction between SpaceX and NASA. "Elon and I are in strong agreement on this — that the one thing we have under development that is of the highest priority is launching American astronauts on American rockets from American soil," Bridenstine said during his visit to SpaceX. "Human spaceflight is the reason that SpaceX was... |
| Amazon’s growth may be impossible to stop, argues this terrifying New Yorker profile Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:43 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is one of the wealthiest and most powerful corporations on the planet. But just how powerful is it, and how exactly did it get there in just under two and a half decades? To fully understand the company's trajectory, and what it'll mean for future antitrust regulation, I recommend reading former New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg's new profile of the company, published in The New Yorker this morning. It's aptly titled "Is Amazon Unstoppable?" It features an exhaustive collection of intricate details about the company's operations and history, combined with smart analysis and some telling on-the-record and anonymous quotes from current and former executives. But primarily, Duhigg explores the scary notion that Amazon may be... |
| Give your desk some Mac Pro cheese grater chic with this lookalike PC case Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:39 PM PDT  Image: Dune I think the new Mac Pro looks quite nice (yes, even if it does look like a giant cheese grater), but I don't want (or need) to pay $5,999 just to have it sitting on my desk. But if you, like me, dream of having a Mac Pro at your desk at a potentially cheaper price, PC casemaker Dune is launching a Kickstarter for the Dune Pro, a Mac Pro-like PC case. It looks remarkably similar to the new Mac Pro, with a large stainless steel frame, simple holes for ventilation in the front and back panels, two USB-C ports on top of the case, and an aluminum enclosure for all your components. However, the Dune Pro is missing the Mac Pro's cool swiveling handle that lets you slide off the entire shell to get to the computer's internals — instead, it... |
| Donald Trump joins Twitch, an Amazon-owned company Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:27 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge President Donald Trump has joined streaming service Twitch as part of his re-election strategy. Twitch is owned by Amazon, the company led by Jeff Bezos — and both Amazon and Bezos are frequent targets for Trump's displeasure. It appears Trump recently joined Twitch, and has just over 135 followers at the time of this writing. He isn't currently live streaming, nor is it likely that he's about to jump into a game of Fortnite. Instead, his channel features a prominent message reminding viewers of his rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota happening tonight. There's also a button further down the page that encourages supporters to donate to his campaign. Trump isn't the first political candidate to use Twitch in an effort to connect more... |
| Biden campaign wants Facebook and Twitter to remove misleading Trump ads, both refuse Posted: 10 Oct 2019 04:17 PM PDT  Photo by Scott Eisen/Getty Images Joe Biden's presidential campaign sent a letter to Twitter Wednesday, asking that the platform reject any political ads placed by Donald Trump's reelection campaign that are found to be misleading or false. Twitter did not respond to the campaign's request, but said, in a statement to The Verge Thursday night, that the Trump ad Biden's campaign focused on — which baselessly claims the former vice president coerced Ukraine into firing a prosecutor tied to his son Hunter — did not violate the platform's rules. "The ad you cited is not currently in violation of our policies," a Twitter spokesperson says. "Additionally, we've received the letter and intend to respond." The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment... |
| GitHub CEO discussed ‘evolving’ position on China in private all-hands meeting Posted: 10 Oct 2019 02:55 PM PDT  Photo Illustration by Chesnot/Getty Images Tensions continue to grow over a GitHub contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as employee activists pressure the company to cut ties with the agency. In a standing-room-only meeting yesterday, executives answered questions from employees on the controversial contract. CEO Nat Friedman fielded questions from employees and attempted to explain why the company would renew a $200,000 contract with the immigration agency. The Verge has obtained a transcript of the conversation. "This is an important topic not just because we find this issue of US immigration policy so odious, offensive, abhorrent, cruel, evil, such a meaningful topic," Friedman said, according to the transcript. "I personally feel that. I know many other Hubbers... |

| Vaping lung death toll hits 26 as CDC investigation continues Posted: 10 Oct 2019 02:19 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Nearly 1,300 people have come down with a serious lung injury related to vaping, as government researchers continue to investigate the cause of the outbreak. That's an increase of over 200 reported cases since last week. "We are concerned — with hundreds of new cases reported each week — that we're looking at a very concerning outbreak, very difficult to control," Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in a press call today. "The data that we're getting does not suggest this has peaked. It doesn't suggest this is declining." The age range among reported injury cases is highly varied, but points to a high number of younger victims. According to the CDC, 15 percent of... |
