Apple TV+ may have just lost a second high-profile project that was set to appear on the streaming platform, just one month after it was announced: the Oprah Winfrey-produced documentary that follows music industry executive Drew Dixon, one of the women who accused Russell Simmons of rape and came forward in an interview with The New York Times.

(Apple also indefinitely delayed the theatrical release of its feature film The Banker two months ago.)

"I have decided that I will no longer be executive producer on The Untitled Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering documentary and it will not air on Apple TV+," Oprah wrote in a statement issued to several film industry publications, including The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline and The Wrap.

Pokémon Go never went away — 2019 was its most lucrative year ever

Pokémon Go, once a viral sensation all over the globe, hasn't fallen off the map. In fact, the augmented reality game is earning more money than it ever has before.

According to mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower, Pokémon Go had a record year in 2019, taking in an estimated $900 million through in-app purchases. That means Pokémon Go has surpassed its launch year in revenue after seeing a drop off in both players and spending back in 2017. It's a rare comeback feat for a free-to-play game, many of which are flash-in-the-pan successes and fade into obscurity.

Normally, free-to-play games either come out of the gate with a huge boost in revenue and popularity and then slowly decline as time goes on, or the app starts small and builds...

OnePlus' next phone, the OnePlus 8, will reportedly launch on Verizon in the US, with 5G connectivity, Android Police reports. It would be the first OnePlus phone available on Verizon, as currently T-Mobile is the only US carrier for OnePlus phones.

The Chinese phone maker showed off its Concept One phone at CES 2020, which included a disappearing camera. And according to Chinese media reports, OnePlus plans to demonstrate new "screen technology" at an event in China on January 13th. What this new tech might be remains a mystery, but a graphic the company shared shows glass panels stacked on top of one another. It's not clear whether the OnePlus 8 will make use of any of this new tech, but we do know it may swap its signature pop-up...

Microsoft says Xbox Series X won’t have exclusive first-party games at launch

Microsoft's upcoming next-gen console, the Xbox Series X, will break with tradition by not launching with exclusive games only playable on the new hardware. Instead, Microsoft is leaning into its Xbox Play Anywhere strategy and fully supporting backwards compatibility moving forward.

According to Microsoft Studios head Matt Booty, who spoke with UK gaming site MCV, "over the next year, two years, all of our games, sort of like PC, will play up and down that family of devices," Booty said. "We want to make sure that if someone invests in Xbox between now and [Series X] that they feel that they made a good investment and that we're committed to them with content." This does seem to imply that there will be a point at which new first-party...

Huawei says it’s selling 100,000 foldable phones a month

Huawei says its foldable Mate X phone is selling at a clip of 100,000 per month since it launched in China in November, according to Android Central. The Mate X, which is only for sale in China, sells for 16,999 yuan, or about $2,400.

That's just shy of the sales estimates for rival Samsung's Galaxy Fold, although it's not totally clear exactly how shy. Samsung executive Young Sohn incorrectly claimed the Galaxy Fold had sold 1 million units, but later updated that figure at CES 2020 to "400,000 to 500,000" since its September launch.

Huawei and rival Samsung were the two front-runners in the race to bring a foldable phone to market first in 2019. At CES 2019, foldable prototypes were plentiful. But Samsung beat most top competitors...

Every January, PC gaming companies get a full week during CES to show us the latest and greatest in new processors, graphics cards, monitors, and everything else that's been cooking for the last year or longer. Normally, the PC industry gets to do this without its console counterpart encroaching on its turf. It's a place for discussions about totally unfettered gaming performance and the kinds of ludicrous hardware you could buy if money was no concern. But this year is a bit different.

A new console generation from Microsoft and Sony is arriving later this year, and that shift is poised to change everything about the gaming landscape whether you play in front of a TV or your computer monitor. New consoles will mean a huge step up in...

Tangled Apple EarPods, but make it fashion

Posted: 10 Jan 2020 02:05 PM PST

Though it seems like most people have fully embraced AirPods, let us not forget our roots, and the fact that all of us were once victims to the wired, messy cable life. These tangled Apple EarPod earrings by artists Aleia Murawski and Samuel Copeland serve as a humbling reminder of from where we came. The statement piece, first put on our radar by XOXO Festival co-founder Andy Baio, sells for $40 on the duo's merch shop, Beef's World.

The story behind the earrings tells the sweet moment when the artists were inspired by a stranger on the subway listening to music on his tangled headphones. On the item listing, the duo describes their creation as Chaotic Spiral Headphone Earrings, which is a fair way to describe them.

This year’s monitors will be faster, brighter, and curvier than ever

If there's one product category that still often sees genuine technological advancements at CES, it's screens — and these days, PC monitors in particular. As someone who enjoys looking at nice displays, I'm always down to check out some even nicer ones, and CES 2020 brought us some of the fastest, brightest, largest, and curviest monitors ever.

The question, though, is when I'll actually be moved to buy one. A couple years ago I wrote about how monitor shopping sucked through the lens of my quest to find one that checked off all my boxes. It's harder than you might think! And I'm still pretty much happy with what I have.

That's why I spent one day at CES specifically tracking down as many monitor "firsts" as I possibly could, in an...

The Hummer will reportedly be resurrected as an electric pickup

General Motors is readying the announcement of an all-electric pickup truck that will carry the branding of the company's infamous gas-guzzling Hummer, according to The Wall Street Journal. The new vehicle will reportedly be teased during a Super Bowl commercial starring LeBron James.

GM will sell the Hummer truck starting in 2022 under its GMC brand, and it isn't expected to revive Hummer as a complete brand of its own, as it once was, according to the report. GM killed the Hummer brand in 2010 following the financial crisis, the automaker's government bailout, and rising fuel costs. Representatives for GM and GMC declined to comment.

Rumors have swirled for months that GM was planning to revive the Hummer nameplate, likely for an...

23andMe sold the rights to a drug it developed from its genetic database

The genetics testing company 23andMe licensed the rights to a drug it developed in-house to a Spanish pharmaceutical company, Bloomberg reported. This is the first time that the company has directly sold a product it created using the genetic information collected from users.

23andMe has already shared genetic data with pharmaceutical companies. GlaxoSmithKline has the exclusive rights to use its data for drug development, and purchased a $300 million stake in the company in 2018. But those drug companies use the company's data to create their own drugs. In this case, 23andMe identified a drug candidate and conducted animal studies on that drug internally before selling it. The Spanish company, Almirall, will take the product through...
