| Could this be Samsung’s bezel-less 8K TV? Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:48 PM PST  Image: Samsung / 4KFilme Samsung may have a new, groundbreaking type of television to show off at CES in Las Vegas next week: a completely bezel-less, 8K QLED model. Dubbed by some reports as the Samsung "Zero Bezel" TV and reportedly carrying model numbers of Q900T and Q950T, this TV is believed to have bezels so tiny that the screen edge effectively disappears when viewed from a distance. On Tuesday, German website 4KFilme says it has its hands on a pair of leaked renders showing the screen in all its bezel-less glory. We don't have very much else to go on, and of course this being an unannounced product, there's no word yet on pricing, release date, or what size options a set like this would come in. But that said, it does sound perfectly in Samsung's... |
| TikTok claims zero takedown requests from China in first transparency report Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:39 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge TikTok released its first transparency report yesterday, showing which countries have submitted requests for content removal as well as access to user data. China is notably absent from the report—the video sharing app, owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance, claims it did not receive a single takedown request from Communist Party of China in the first half of 2019. The news comes after a difficult year for the social media startup, which faced growing scrutiny over its relationship with China. In September, a report from The Washington Post suggested TikTok was censoring content related to the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, likely to appease the Chinese government. TikTok denied the allegations, but it wasn't enough to stop... |
| Google will finally stop using controversial Irish and Dutch tax loopholes Posted: 31 Dec 2019 12:11 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The era of Google using a pair of controversial loopholes to save billions of dollars in taxes on overseas ad revenue is coming to a close, according to a new report from Reuters. In 2020, the company will no longer take advantage of the so-called "Double Irish" and "Dutch sandwich" loopholes, which allowed it and countless other corporations to shift money from Ireland to the Netherlands and Bermuda, sheltering billions from taxes in the process. The move comes as regulations aimed at changing how companies skirt taxes take effect in both the US and Ireland. Previously, multinational organizations like Google were able to use a network of affiliate organizations located in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Bermuda to collect and hold money... |
| New Apple patent imagines virtual speakers that can simulate sound from anywhere in the room Posted: 31 Dec 2019 11:02 AM PST  Image: USPTO Apple has just been granted a patent — concerning virtual positioning of audio — that could eventually lay the groundwork for new, more immersive audio applications. It builds on a previous patent Apple filed last month that enabled users to hear where people are physically located in a room through special headphone tech. Today's patent does exactly the same thing, but with built-in MacBook speakers. According to 9to5Mac, it's a virtual acoustic system that works by using crosstalk canceling, which makes users feel like sound is coming from a different place than loudspeakers. (Crosstalk, here, refers to the overlapping sound waves that the ears receive from the left and right channels of a speaker.) The effect, as reported by Patently... |

| US Army bans soldiers from using TikTok Posted: 31 Dec 2019 10:30 AM PST  Photo by Chesnot/Getty Images United States Army soldiers can no longer use TikTok on government-owned phones following a decision to ban the app. The move comes amidst ongoing worries that the video app owned by Beijing-based company ByteDance could compromise national security or be used to influence or surveil Americans. "It is considered a cyber threat," Army spokeswoman Lt. Col. Robin Ochoa told Military.com, which broke the news on December 30th. The army reportedly used TikTok to recruit members prior to the ban. Both the Navy and Defense Department sounded alarms on TikTok earlier this month. The Navy previously told its members not to add the app, and to delete it from government-issued devices if it was already installed. The Defense Department also... |
| Vizio accuses LeEco of breaching settlement over failed $2 billion merger Posted: 31 Dec 2019 09:28 AM PST  Vizio says LeEco has breached the settlement the two companies agreed to last year in the $60 million lawsuit over their failed merger, and claims the Chinese tech conglomerate still owes a "substantial amount of money," according to a new motion filed in California's central district court on Monday. LeEco, which was once considered to be the "Netflix of China," tried to buy Vizio in 2016 for $2 billion as part of its effort to expand its business beyond streaming. Founder Jia Yueting wanted his company to move into hardware like televisions and smartphones so he could create an entire ecosystem of hardware and software products that worked together, hence the "eco" in LeEco. But Jia's ambition consumed LeEco, as he burdened the... |
| The theme for the Times Square New Year’s Eve bash is climate change Posted: 31 Dec 2019 08:30 AM PST  Photo credit should read DON EMMERT/AFP via Getty Images Times Square revelers will ring in the New Year to a theme of existential crisis tonight. Science teachers and students taking on the climate crisis will push the crystal button to trigger the ball drop in Times Square. Organizers of the annual New Year's Eve celebration in New York City choose a theme each year based on the biggest issues in the news, and this year that theme is climate change. "[You'd] have to have a soul of Styrofoam not to be moved by the passion of young people demanding that we do better, and 'listen to the science' to start solving the problem," Tim Tompkins, president of the Times Square Alliance, said in a press release. He added that "you'd have to have your head buried" in sand not to be alarmed by 2019's... |
| Netflix claims The Witcher is already one of its most popular shows of 2019 Posted: 31 Dec 2019 07:30 AM PST  Image: Netflix Netflix released its list of the most popular movies and TV shows of 2019 and, with the exception of Disney Pixar's Incredibles 2, every title on the list is a Netflix original. Most notable is Adam Sandler's Murder Mystery, which Netflix declared as the most watched title in 2019. The Sandler and Jennifer Aniston-starring comedy broke records when it first hit Netflix back in June, generating more than 30 million account views within its first three days. It marked the biggest opening weekend for a Netflix film in the company's history. Some of the other entires on the list, seen below, also saw record-breaking weekends or weeks for Netflix. A couple – including Henry Cavill's The Witcher — only just came out.

| The Witcher’s success is held back by Netflix’s release strategy in a post-Game of Thrones world Posted: 31 Dec 2019 06:00 AM PST  The Witcher has everything it needs to be Netflix's next success: popular source material, a massive marketing campaign, a well-received performance by Henry Cavill, and an iconic meme in the form of the hit song "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher." Yet, while certainly popular, it doesn't seem like The Witcher is going to become "must see" television like other recent hits, such as The Mandalorian on Disney+ or Watchmen on HBO. At least part of the reason why is how Netflix released it: in a single, all-you-can-eat drop — like almost all of its other shows — instead of a more traditional weekly rollout. Weekly releases have numerous benefits for fans: continued and focused conversation every week around the latest episode, a chance to digest... |
