| Author tricks Amazon into distributing union materials to its own employees via book cover Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:30 PM PDT  I haven't read Mike Monteiro's new book Ruined by Design, so I can't say whether it's any good. But I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available at Amazon for all that much longer, now that its cover encourages Amazon workers to form a labor union. This past Thursday, Monteiro tells The Verge, he realized he could change his self-published book's cover as easily as uploading a new PDF — and used it to add a new message to Amazon workers they'll presumably see as they print and package it for delivery.

| Apple removes Quartz news app from the Chinese App Store over Hong Kong coverage Posted: 09 Oct 2019 06:00 PM PDT  Photo by Anthony Kwan/Getty Images News organization Quartz tells The Verge that Apple has removed its mobile app from the Chinese version of its App Store after complaints from the Chinese government. According to Quartz, this is due to the publication's ongoing coverage of the Hong Kong protests, and the company says its entire website has also been blocked from being accessed in mainland China. The publication says it received a notice from Apple that the app "includes content that is illegal in China." In a statement, Quartz CEO Zach Seward, who assumed the role of chief executive just two days ago, tells The Verge that "We abhor this kind of government censorship of the internet, and have great coverage of how to get around such bans around the world." The statement... |
| Adobe says Venezuelan users losing service due to US sanctions will get refunds Posted: 09 Oct 2019 03:04 PM PDT  Adobe customers in Venezuela, who were notified via email on Monday that their accounts would get deactivated at the end of the month due to US sanctions, will be able to receive refunds after all. The company initially cited the US executive order as the reason it wouldn't be able to refund customers, stating in the original support document posted Monday that the sanctions call for "the cessation of all activity with the entities including no sales, service, support, refunds, credits, etc." The support document has now been updated, and states that customers who purchased directly from Adobe will get refunds by the end of the month. The document also states that users will also be able to access design-centric social network Behance,... |
| Blizzard employees walked out in protest following pro-Hong Kong player ban Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:55 PM PDT  Photo Illustration by Igor Golovniov/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images A couple dozen Blizzard employees walked out of work Tuesday in protest of the company's decision to ban a professional Hearthstone player who voiced support for the Hong Kong protesters over the weekend, according to The Daily Beast. The employees met at a giant statue depicting an Orc Warrior outside of the Activision Blizzard offices in California. According to the Beast, employees came and went as the day continued on and topped off at around 30 concurrent workers. Someone claiming to be a Blizzard employee posted a photo of workers sitting beside the statue on the r/Hearthstone subreddit, where it was met with praise from members of the Reddit community. Earlier this week, Blizzard banned professional Hearthstone player Ng... |
| American Airlines says it will resume flights with Boeing’s 737 Max jets in January Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:35 PM PDT  Photo by David Ryder/Getty Images American Airlines will resume flights with Boeing's 737 Max jets in January 2020. In a statement posted online on October 9th, the airline says it expects software updates to result in the beleaguered jet's recertification by federal aviation authorities "later this year." Boeing is expected to submit its final certification package to the FAA later this year. Anticipating this, American says it expects to "slowly phase in the MAX for commercial service" starting January 16th, and will "increase flying on the aircraft throughout the month and into February." The FAA ordered the grounding of all Boeing 737 Max jets after two deadly crashes in October 2018 and March 2019 that killed a total of 346 people. Both crashes have been linked to... |
| In the Tall Grass director Vincenzo Natali doesn’t know if Stephen King read his script Posted: 09 Oct 2019 01:30 PM PDT  Photo: Netflix Vincenzo Natali is the kind of director who makes the cult movie-steeped audiences at Austin's annual Fantastic Fest swoon. He isn't a household name, but his distinctive, creative low-budget genre movies have earned him a strong reputation among the kind of people who can list off a dozen Dario Argento movies without checking the internet. Natali's 1997 indie movie Cube is a particular case in point: a low-budget Canadian science fiction film about a group of strangers who wake up trapped in a prison shaped like a seemingly endless maze of cube-shaped rooms. His 2013 movie Haunter takes a similarly claustrophobic approach to a very different story, as a dead girl (Abigail Breslin) haunting a house she can't escape begins dealing with... |
| TikTok should be investigated for censorship, Marco Rubio says Posted: 09 Oct 2019 12:56 PM PDT  Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images On Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) requested that the US government conduct a formal investigation into whether the popular Chinese video app, TikTok, poses a national security risk by censoring content that upsets leaders in Beijing. "These Chinese-owned apps are increasingly being used to censor content and silence open discussion on topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese Government and Community Party," Rubio claimed in a letter calling on the Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to conduct a full review on the potential national security risks posed by TikTok's acquisition of Musical.ly. It appears that Rubio is referring to reports, like The Guardian's from last month, outlining how TikTok's... |
| Volvo’s first EV will run native Android Posted: 09 Oct 2019 12:32 PM PDT  Images: Volvo Volvo is one week away from unveiling the first EV under its own brand, an all-electric version of the company's popular XC40 SUV. On Wednesday, the Swedish automaker said the car will mark another first, too: it will be the first Volvo car with an infotainment system built on Google's new embedded Android Automotive software. That means the new electric XC40 will come with features and apps like Google Assistant and Google Maps built in, with no need for an Android smartphone. The SUV's infotainment system will also have access to the Play Store, allowing owners to download apps that Google's approved for automotive use. We've known for more than two years that Volvo was... |

| Small satellite launcher Virgin Orbit announces plans to send tiny vehicles to Mars Posted: 09 Oct 2019 11:47 AM PDT  Virgin Orbit has big plans to send small spacecraft to Mars, as soon as 2022. The company — an offshoot of Richard Branson's space tourism company Virgin Galactic — announced today that it is partnering with nearly a dozen Polish universities and a Polish satellite maker called SatRevolution to design up to three robotic missions to the Red Planet over the next decade. If successful, these missions could be the first purely commercial trips to Mars. Up until now, only four organizations have ever successfully made it to the Red Planet, and all of them have been government-led space organizations. Commercial companies like SpaceX have vowed to send spacecraft to Earth's neighbor, but so far, Mars has been the sole domain of... |
