| Japan’s Super Nintendo World theme park will feature smart Mario-themed wristbands Posted: 13 Jan 2020 05:53 PM PST  Image: Universal Studios Japan Super Nintendo Land, the Mario-themed expansion to Universal Studios, is shaping up to be one of the most interesting and tech-infused theme park attractions to date. The park, launching ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as part of Universal Studios Japan in the city of Osaka, will feature wearable wrist bands called "Power Up Bands" that will sync with a smartphone app and track digital activities while you walk around, according to Tokyo-based Bloomberg reporter Kurumi Mori, who attended a press event on Tuesday local time detailing new elements of Super Nintendo World. According to Mori, the bands will allow guests to collect digital coins and compete against other attendees of the park. Thierry Coup, the chief creative officer of... |
| Burisma targeted by Russia-linked phishing attack, raising election-meddling fears Posted: 13 Jan 2020 05:14 PM PST  Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images A Silicon Valley-based security firm called Area1 says it has found indications that state-sponsored Russian hackers have successfully hacked the Ukranian gas company Burisma, as first reported by the The New York Times. The company has taken on a central role in US politics because of its connection to Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden, whose son Hunter sits on the company's board. In July, President Trump asked Ukraine's government to investigate Burisma to find damaging information on the Biden family, allegedly threatening to withhold military aid to the country if the prime minister did not announce an investigation. That request is at the center of the president's ongoing impeachment proceedings, and has made Burisma... |
| Hundreds of thousands of customers complained to Juul about leaky pods Posted: 13 Jan 2020 03:38 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Around 12 percent of customer complaints made to Juul between 2015 and 2018 were due to leaking nicotine pods, Bloomberg reported. Records of customer complaints were reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration during an agency inspection of Juul Labs in September 2018, and obtained by Bloomberg through a Freedom of Information Act request. The company's internal database recorded just under 1.3 million customer complaints during the three year period. Approximately 156,000 were from users who reported that liquid was leaking out of the pods and into their mouths — an issue documented on message boards and vaping websites over the past few years. A handful of people said that accidentally swallowing the liquid made them sick. Juul... |
| Sony skipping E3 again as it gears up to launch the PlayStation 5 Posted: 13 Jan 2020 03:21 PM PST  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Sony is skipping E3 again, just months before it plans to launch its upcoming PlayStation 5 console during the 2020 holiday season. This is the second year in a row Sony is skipping one of the largest video game conferences in the world. E3, short for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is a long-running annual event held every June in Los Angeles, and it has traditionally been where both Microsoft and Sony have revealed new details about upcoming software and hardware. "After thorough evaluation SIE has decided not to participate in E3 2020. We have great respect for the ESA as an organization, but we do not feel the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year," a Sony Interactive spokesperson tells The... |
| GoPro releases update that should get Karma drones flying again Posted: 13 Jan 2020 02:50 PM PST  GoPro figured out why Karma drones worldwide have been unable to fly since the beginning of the new year, as The Verge first reported last week, and has finally released a firmware update that should resolve the problem. The company said early last week that its team was "testing a resolution" and that a firmware update would be released "within the week." In the first few days of 2020, Karma users around the world started realizing they were having trouble getting their drones to take flight. They soon posted to official GoPro forums and on Twitter that their controllers were receiving compass and GPS errors. It initially seemed like Karma may have been affected by the recent GPS and GLONASS clock rollovers, but the company wrote in a... |
| Climate change could lead to more injuries and deaths Posted: 13 Jan 2020 02:20 PM PST  Illustration by Ana Kova Injuries like drownings, falls, and assaults could kill up to an additional 2,135 people each year in the US as climate change continues to cause unusual temperature swings. The findings by researchers from Imperial College London, Columbia, and Harvard were published today in the journal Nature Medicine. The connection between swings in temperature — unusual spells of heat or cold — and injuries still can't be explained, but researchers say that their estimates could help spur efforts to prevent those deaths. Looking at injuries associated with climate change has been a blind spot in research, authors of the study published today say. Previous studies have looked into how climate change could drive more deaths... |
| Instacart workers are organizing national boycott to reinstate a default 10 percent tip Posted: 13 Jan 2020 01:39 PM PST  Denver Post Photo by Cyrus McCrimmon Workers for grocery delivery platform Instacart are organizing a national boycott of the company next week to push for the reinstatement of a 10 percent default tip on all orders. "We have fought for fair pay, but Instacart continues to lower it," reads a Medium post published Monday by a group of Instacart workers. "In order to continue fulfilling your orders, we must see action from Instacart." The group, composed of the drivers and other delivery contract workers that physically shop for and deliver groceries to customers, is asking those interested in helping the cause to use the hashtag #DeleteInstacart across social media beginning January 19th, and to delete the app until the company restores the 10 percent tip. The workers... |
| Lawrence Lessig sues New York Times over MIT and Jeffrey Epstein interview Posted: 13 Jan 2020 01:30 PM PST  Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig is suing The New York Times over an interview about the MIT Media Lab accepting money from sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lessig's defamation suit covers a September 2019 article titled "A Harvard Professor Doubles Down: If You Take Epstein's Money, Do It in Secret." He claims the headline misrepresents his interview, where he condemns the donation, but says that "if you're going to take the money, you damn well better make it anonymous." Lessig is the founder of Creative Commons and a longtime policy activist; he once ran for president on the promise to pass a single anti-corruption law and then resign. He's also a friend of former MIT Media Lab president Joichi Ito. When Ito admitted last year to... |
| Microsoft CEO says encryption backdoors are a ‘terrible idea’ Posted: 13 Jan 2020 01:19 PM PST  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge As Apple squares off for another encryption fight, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella offered mixed messages on the encryption question. In a Monday meeting with reporters in New York, Nadella reiterated the company's opposition to encryption backdoors, but expressed tentative support for legal and technical solutions in the future. "I do think backdoors are a terrible idea, that is not the way to go about this," Nadella said. "We've always said we care about these two things: privacy and public safety. We need some legal and technical solution in our democracy to have both of those be priorities." Along those lines, Nadella expressed support for key escrow systems, versions of which have been proposed by researchers in the past. |
| Trump’s attorney general asks Apple to unlock a shooter’s iPhones Posted: 13 Jan 2020 01:11 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Attorney General William Barr today requested Apple's help in unlocking two iPhones connected to last month's shooting at a Pensacola naval base, and said that Apple has provided no "substantive assistance" unlocking the phones. The FBI requested Apple's help unlocking the same phones last week. In his remarks today, Barr said that the FBI had received court authorization to search both iPhones, one of which had been shot at by the shooter and the other which had been damaged. Barr said the FBI was able to fix the phones, but stated that the phones are "engineered to make it virtually impossible to unlock without the password," which is why the FBI needs Apple's help to unlock them. He called on both Apple and other tech companies to... |
