| Posted: 12 Oct 2019 01:20 PM PDT  Photo by Ryan Manning / The Verge Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and chairman of its board until 2014, was among the powerful men who spent a meaningful amount of time with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to reporting from The New York Times. Employees of Gates' namesake foundation reportedly also met with Epstein, in multiple visits to the disgraced financier's mansion. Previously, Gates had told The Wall Street Journal that he didn't have a "business relationship or friendship" with Epstein. "I met him," Gates told the Journal on September 10th. "I didn't have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn't go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that.... |
| Is the world ready for virtual graffiti? Posted: 12 Oct 2019 09:00 AM PDT  Mark AR / Twitter Imagine a world that's filled with invisible graffiti. Open an app, point your phone at a wall, and blank brick or cement becomes a canvas. Create art with digital spraypaint and stencils, and an augmented reality system will permanently store its location and placement, creating the illusion of real street art. If friends or social media followers have the app, they can find your painting on a map and come see it. You might scrawl an in-joke across the door of a friend's apartment, or paint a gorgeous mural on the side of a local store. Now imagine a darker world. Members of hate groups gleefully swap pictures of racist tags on civil rights monuments. Students bully each other by spreading vicious rumors on the walls of a target's... |
| 9 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 12 Oct 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Image: Disney I got around to watching The Old Man & the Gun the other week, the newest film from A Ghost Story director David Lowery. The film stars Robert Redford as an older man who can't stop robbing banks (and being incredibly charming while doing it). It's a lovely little movie, and watching it, I continually felt stunned that it was made in 2018. It has a warmth, low stakes, and casual pacing that make it feel like a film from an older era, when special effects were harder to do and budgets where much lower as a rule. (It also has a relatively brief hour-and-a-half runtime.) I wish I could pinpoint exactly what it is that gives the film its throwback feel, but I'm not sure it's any one thing. But watching the movie certainly made me wish there... |
| This story about a billion dollar scam to build an undersea Arctic cable is wild Posted: 12 Oct 2019 07:00 AM PDT  Photo: Bloomberg Businessweek Last year, the CEO of Quintillion, an Alaskan company trying to build a trans-Arctic undersea cable, was charged with wire fraud after forging contracts to help raise more than $250 million from investors. This week, Bloomberg posted a captivating feature about how that CEO nearly pulled off the scam of a lifetime. It's a fascinating story of how someone tried to fake it 'til they almost made it — but also a cautionary tale about big ambitions can push people to make disastrous decisions. Elizabeth Pierce apparently had huge ambitions to build an undersea cable to give Alaskans (and eventually, parts of Japan, the Pacific Northwest, Greenland, Iceland, and London) better internet access. It was a noble cause. Internet for much of rural... |

| Why macOS Catalina is breaking so many apps, and what to do about it Posted: 12 Oct 2019 05:00 AM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple's latest Mac update, macOS Catalina, was released earlier this week, and with it came a flurry of complications both minor and major. For one, this update is the first for Apple to drop 32-bit application support, which is causing all sorts of headaches for users of smaller apps, plug-ins, and other software that may not be updated for quite some time or may have been created by a company that no longer exists. There are also a fair number of other issues with Catalina, like Adobe software incompatibility problems and unforeseen hurdles related to the removal of iTunes. That leads us to a series of important questions for Mac users who may be at risk of having important workflows disrupted by Catalina. What exactly might go wrong... |
