| WWE joins TikTok and brings popular entrance music to the app Posted: 13 Dec 2019 02:23 PM PST WWE has one of the most popular YouTube channels in the world and has become a social media force, and today (as reported by Variety) the company officially joined TikTok. There's a WWE TikTok channel, sure, but more important to wrestling fans and meme creators is that WWE's arrival brings with it a slew of licensed entrance music for some of the company's most recognizable performers past and present. You can now add "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's theme music to your TikTok uploads. Same for The Undertaker, John Cena, or Becky Lynch. And yes, The Rock's music is available as well. Music for over 30 superstars can now be included in TikTok videos globally. The songs are not yet available for use in Instagram stories, so this is a decent... |
| How the FCC lets your ISP paint a rosy picture of internet speeds Posted: 13 Dec 2019 02:05 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge It's an awful feeling realizing that your internet speed is far slower than what your provider promised. But according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission could be doing very little to force providers to live up to their customers' expectations. According to the WSJ, companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast have worked to influence the reports and have used a variety of tactics over the years to boost their numbers. In doing so, the FCC's reporting system could be showing connection speeds that are far faster than what customers actually get. Toward the tail end of the Obama administration, the FCC launched a program called Measuring Broadband America. It's a yearly review of... |
| FDA approves new closed-loop insulin delivery system for people with Type 1 diabetes Posted: 13 Dec 2019 01:23 PM PST  Photo by Donat Sorokin / TASS via Getty Images A new software system that will let people with diabetes customize their treatment and automatically adjust their insulin levels was just approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. It will reach patients in January 2020. The technology, called Control-IQ, is manufactured by Tandem Diabetes Care and connects with blood glucose sensors and insulin pumps to automatically increase, decrease, or stop the delivery of insulin in response to the glucose levels of people with Type 1 diabetes. People with Type 1 diabetes can't produce their own insulin, which regulates blood sugar (aka glucose), so they need to take it from an external source every day. Currently, many patients with diabetes have to manually adjust and readjust the... |
| Google reveals just how much of the world it’s mapped with Street View and Earth Posted: 13 Dec 2019 01:20 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge It's common knowledge that Google has photographed a huge amount of the planet for its Street View and Google Earth projects. But for the first time, Google has revealed how much of the world it has photographed: 10 million miles of Street View imagery and 36 million square miles of Google Earth imagery, according to a report from CNET. That Google Earth number is particularly impressive: Google says that it now covers 98 percent of the places in the world where people live. And the 10 million miles of Street View imagery puts Google miles ahead of competitors like Apple, which has just started to include similar street-level photography in Apple Maps with the release of iOS 13 this year. But Apple has a long way to go before it catches... |
| PSA: RCS, the successor to SMS, is now live for all US Android users Posted: 13 Dec 2019 12:57 PM PST  In November, Google said that it was starting to roll out RCS Chat, the successor to SMS, as Android's primary texting platform, and as of Monday, if you are an Android user on any carrier in the US, you should now be able to use it — though you may need to update your Messages app and carrier settings (via Android Central). In theory, RCS messaging should be an improvement over regular SMS, as it supports read receipts, typing indicators, and is better for group chats. Unlike Apple's iMessage, though, RCS doesn't support end-to-end encryption, so you'll need to use a third-party app like Signal if you want to send encrypted messages. Google first said RCS would become Android's primary texting platform more than a year and a half ago,... |
| Billboard is changing its albums chart to count YouTube streams Posted: 13 Dec 2019 12:26 PM PST  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge Billboard has announced that YouTube streams will be factored into the Billboard 200 albums chart starting early next year. Video streams from other platforms will also count, including Apple, Spotify, Tidal, and Vevo, and Billboard says the change will also impact genre album consumption charts, like country, Latin, and others. Billboard's charts have historically been seen as a barometer of success within the music industry. Video streams have counted toward many of Billboard's song-specific charts since 2013, but have never been incorporated into the albums chart. Billboard has been slowly updating its albums chart for years to shift it from being purely sales-based to a "multi-metric consumption" model. It added audio streaming to... |
| Amazon is delivering half its own packages as it becomes a serious rival to FedEx and UPS Posted: 13 Dec 2019 12:21 PM PST  Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto via Getty Images Amazon has been steadily growing its logistics operation over the last decade, and it now delivers more than half of all Amazon packages in the US, according to an estimate from Morgan Stanley published on Thursday and reported by CNBC. That's a staggering increase over the course of the last few years. It means Amazon, which now operates its own freighters and cargo planes, is accelerating its push to own the entire logistics chain and end its relationship with companies like FedEx and UPS. At the current rate, Amazon is set to pass both FedEx and UPS in US package volume, with the company currently delivering 2.5 billion packages per year compared to FedEx's 3 billion and UPS's 4.7 billion, Morgan Stanley says. Amazon's number doubled... |
| Get the first six Star Wars movies for the lowest price yet ahead of Rise of Skywalker Posted: 13 Dec 2019 12:10 PM PST  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is just days away, bringing a promised end to the nine-episode Skywalker saga on December 20th. But if you want to catch up on the earlier movies, you can pick up digital copies of Episodes 1 through 6 for the lowest price they've ever been: $42.99 over at the Google Play Store for HD copies of all six films. The deal is also available at iTunes for $49.99, should you prefer to buy through Apple, $48.99 over at Vudu, or $45.99 at the Microsoft Store (if you've got a gift card to one of those services lying around). The digital six-film collection usually runs for $89.99, making it a fantastic deal for anyone who wants to marathon some Star Wars films before the last movie comes out. |
| Google’s 4K Pixelbook Go is now available for purchase Posted: 13 Dec 2019 12:10 PM PST  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge When Google announced its relatively inexpensive new Pixelbook Go, it said that a more expensive Pixelbook Go configuration with a 4K screen was on the way, and that model is finally available for purchase (via Android Central). The 4K configuration is more than twice as expensive as the base model — $1,399 for the 4K version instead of $649 for a base Pixelbook Go — and it even eclipses the $999 base price of Google's Pixelbook 2-in-1. (The Go is supposed to be the affordable alternative.) But that machine doesn't have a 4K screen option, and you get a Core i7 processor for cheaper with the Pixelbook Go than with Google's backflipping laptop, where you'll pay $1,649. That said, it might be hard to see the benefits of a 4K screen on the... |
| How to watch Fortnite’s exclusive Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker clip this Saturday Posted: 13 Dec 2019 11:56 AM PST  Image: Epic Games Fortnite is about to host another of its now-iconic in-game live events, but this one has a pretty important real-world connection. For the first time, Epic's battle royale game will host an exclusive film clip, and this one happens to be from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, ahead of its December 20th release. The event is happening on Saturday, December 14th. We've known about the clip premiere since last week, but Epic disclosed some more concrete details last night at the Game Awards.
