| Amazon’s own Echo Buds may have revealed a future fitness tracking feature Posted: 05 Nov 2019 06:06 PM PST  Amazon's truly wireless Echo Buds earbuds are excellent for their $130 price, to the point that they were the elephant in the room when we reviewed Apple's new AirPods Pro. And they managed that resounding feat without one of their biggest rumored features — the ability to double as a fitness tracker and measure the calories you've burned. But don't rule out fitness tracking just yet, because CNBC and The Verge both spotted a new "Fitness" tab in the Echo Buds section of the Alexa app today. You can see a few screenshots from our app below: While we're waiting on an Amazon spokeperson to confirm whether we should actually be excited for more functionality — or if this just a vestigial component of an earlier test — CNBC's Todd Haselton s... |
| Facebook says 100 developers might have improperly accessed Groups member data Posted: 05 Nov 2019 03:24 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook says that even after it locked down its Groups system last year, some app developers retained improper access to information about members. A company blog post reports that roughly 100 developers might have accessed user information since Facebook changed its rules in April of 2018, and at least 11 accessed member data in the last 60 days. It says it's now cut all partners off from that data. Facebook Group administrators can use third-party tools to manage their groups, giving apps information about its activity. Since the changes last year, developers shouldn't be able to see individual members' names, profile pictures, or unspecified other profile data. Facebook platform partnerships head Konstantinos Papamiltiadis says a... |
| The threats against TikTok are beginning to add up Posted: 05 Nov 2019 03:00 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge For the past 10 years, any regulation of social media companies in the United States has moved at a glacial pace. But when it comes to TikTok, the government is moving with unusual speed. It has been less than two weeks since two senators first asked the director of national intelligence to look into whether TikTok, the looping short-form video app owned by Chinese company ByteDance, poses a security risk to the United States. On Friday, the investigation entered phase two: an inquiry into whether ByteDance might be forced divest Musical.ly, an American app that ByteDance acquired in 2017 for $1 billion and helped form the basis for TikTok. Greg Roumeliotis, Yingzhi Yang, Echo Wang, and Alexandra Alper had the exclusive at Reuters:

| August is selling its View video doorbell again six months after pulling it from shelves Posted: 05 Nov 2019 01:26 PM PST  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Smart home company August is once again selling its View video doorbell, a product it pulled from shelves just three weeks after launching in April due to connectivity issues. An August spokesperson tells The Verge the company has "made improvements to the doorbell cam's connectivity, video quality and operation speed (faster notifications and device wake-up time) based on early user feedback." Our original review specifically called out the poor connectivity as one of the gadget's downsides keeping it from competing with Amazon's Ring line. At the time, August took the unique approach of letting customers who had purchased the View video doorbell keep the device and get a full refund, so long as they provided August with some... |
| The original Google Pixel will get one final update in December Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:28 PM PST  Photo by Sean O'Kane / The Verge The Google Pixel and Pixel XL will get "one final software update" in December, the company confirms to The Verge. As of yesterday, it looked like the original Pixel was done getting updates, as Google released its November security update for most Pixel phones, but nothing for the Pixel or Pixel XL. Google tells The Verge that the Pixels won't get that November update, but it says December's "encapsulates a variety of updates" from the November and December updates that were issued for other Pixels. It wasn't too surprising to see that Google's original Pixels didn't get yesterday's update. When Google announced the phones in 2016, the company said they would get two years of guaranteed Android version updates and three years of... |
| Twitter may fundamentally change how retweets and mentions work Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:21 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Twitter leadership has made it a goal of the last few years to be more transparent about its decision-making and to provide more detailed road maps for when new features and other big changes come to the platform. Just look at CEO Jack Dorsey's rather epic multi-tweet Facebook takedown when he announced the platform's political ad ban last week. In that spirit, Dantley Davis, Twitter's vice president of design and research, yesterday evening released a list of features he says he's excited to "explore" in 2020. They include some fundamental changes to how Twitter functions, in particular how the retweet works and how freely users are able to pull others into their conversations with or without their permission. While Davis says he's... |
| Martin Scorsese defends his Marvel take and hits on a growing issue Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:17 PM PST Martin Scorsese has published a new essay in The New York Times that addresses his previous statements about Marvel movies not being considered cinema — a declaration that set off weeks of hot takes, Twitter bickering, and Instagram caption shade. It's an absolute must-read. Here's just one of many good quotes:
Disney CEO Bob Iger's ears must be burning something fierce! Scorsese's less-than-subtle callout of Disney... |
| Ford made an electric Mustang with a manual transmission Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:08 PM PST  Images: Ford Ford has created an all-electric Mustang with a six-speed manual gearbox, a true Frankenstein's monster of a car that I (and I assume many others) want to drive. The sad thing is it's just a one-off, built for this week's annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas. Dubbed "Mustang Lithium," and clad in light gray paint with electric blue details, the car can pull enough energy out of the 800-volt battery to make more than 900 horsepower. Ford unfortunately didn't share too many other specifications, like range or the size of the battery, since this is just a prototype. It does, however, feature a vertically oriented 10.4-inch touchscreen in the dashboard, similar to what Ford did with the 2020 Explorer.... |
| Ninja’s new comic book turns Ninja into an actual ninja Posted: 05 Nov 2019 12:07 PM PST  People are always getting sucked into games: remember Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over? I do. The latest victim of the trend appears to be Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, gamer extraordinaire, whose new comic book Ninja: The Most Dangerous Game — co-created by comics writer Justin Jordan and Team Liquid illustrator Felipe Magaña — finds our boy accidentally teleported into a battle royale game that happens to not look anything like Fortnite. The book is due out on December 3rd, just in time for parents of gamers to figure out who Ninja is and why his book might be a good stocking stuffer. While The Most Dangerous Game takes its title from that Richard Connell short story about hunting human beings that a lot of us were made to read in high school, it... |
| Democrats propose new federal agency to fight back against tech privacy scandals Posted: 05 Nov 2019 11:46 AM PST  Photo By Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call After months of criticizing regulators for going easy on Big Tech, a pair of Democratic lawmakers announced new legislation that would create an entirely new federal agency with the authority to regulate the industry. Among other provisions, the Online Privacy Act, sponsored by Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), would create the Digital Privacy Agency, or DPA. That agency would be empowered with the ability to issue regulations and enforce the privacy rules imposed by the legislation. The agency would be funded to employ 1,600 officials, making it about the same size as the Federal Communications Commission. Currently, the Federal Trade Commission broadly regulates privacy and employs only a few dozen people dedicated to... |
