| Ted Cruz now has an impeachment podcast, too Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:28 PM PST  Image: Verdict Impeachment podcasts are the hot new thing in podcasting, and now one of the actual impeachment jurors is getting in on the boom. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched a podcast today called Verdict with Ted Cruz, in which he sits across from a stupendously softball interviewer ("you are not only a senator, you are a constitutional lawyer, one of the brightest legal minds in the country") and opines on the day's impeachment proceedings. It sounds as though Verdict will be publishing daily throughout the trial. Cruz said today's episode was recorded shortly after he left the first day of Senate proceedings, bringing him to the podcast studio at 2:42AM ET. Episodes will be recorded "as soon as I leave the Senate floor," Cruz wrote on Twitter. W... |
| Transportation shut down in city where new coronavirus originated Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:24 PM PST  Photo by Getty Images Disease control officials in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the outbreak of the new and rapidly spreading virus began, announced that it's shutting down transportation within the city and will close all airports and train stations. The city is home to over 11 million people. The virus is similar to SARS, which circulated around the world in 2002 and 2003. So far, the new virus has sickened over 500 people and killed 17. In addition to the transportation shutdown, companies like General Motors and Ford are restricting and suspending travel to Wuhan, and Olympic qualifying events have been moved out of the city.

| Nintendo doesn’t have to refund digital preorders, according to European court Posted: 22 Jan 2020 12:55 PM PST  Photo by James Bareham / The Verge Nintendo fans in Europe got some bad news this week. A new court ruling sided with Nintendo's ongoing practice to not let users cancel digital preorders (via Nintendo Everything). According to Norwegian gaming site PressFire, the consumer authorities of Norway and Germany sued Nintendo for not letting users cancel digital preorders purchased from the eShop. The case went to court at the end of last year. This week, the court ruled in favor of Nintendo, meaning it can continue the practice for now. PressFire reports that the German consumer authority has appealed the ruling. When the Norwegian Consumer Council first formally criticized Nintendo's policy in 2018, it said that Nintendo's policy conflicts with the EU's Consumer Rights... |
| Netflix has been looking for franchises, and The Witcher may be its answer Posted: 22 Jan 2020 12:00 PM PST  Image: Netflix Netflix wants people to know The Witcher is just as big, if not bigger, than Disney's Mandalorian around the world. Franchise plays like The Witcher and movies like 6 Underground are key to Netflix growing internationally, and they could represent a big part of Netflix's future in a year where competition from major players will start to heat up. In its Q4 earnings report, Netflix said that 76 million accounts watched The Witcher within its first four weeks. It also revealed that 6 Underground, a big action flick from director Michael Bay that starred Ryan Reynolds, was watched by 83 million accounts within its first four weeks. If Netflix's numbers are to be taken as presented, 6 Underground was a rousing success for one of Netflix's... |

| Amazon Music passes 55 million customers as it chips away at Spotify and Apple Music Posted: 22 Jan 2020 11:16 AM PST  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Amazon Music often doesn't get the same buzz as Spotify or Apple Music, but the service is still growing rapidly and is catching up to those competitors at a rate that might surprise you. Amazon says its music service has now surpassed 55 million customers. There's still a long way to go if Amazon wants to catch Spotify, which most recently reported 113 million paying customers (and 248 million monthly users overall) back in September. Apple last cited an Apple Music subscriber count of over 60 million, so Amazon is quickly chipping away at that lead. "Amazon doesn't talk numbers that much," Amazon Music boss Steve Boom told the Financial Times. "We felt like getting to this level of scale was something worth talking about." That's in... |
| Senator asks Jeff Bezos for more information on Saudi-linked hack Posted: 22 Jan 2020 11:11 AM PST  Photo by Erin Schaff for The Verge One day after news broke that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia may have been personally involved in the hack of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' phone, a United States senator is asking for more information. As first reported yesterday by The Guardian, a forensic analysis of Bezos' phone determined that spyware was planted on the device after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a seemingly innocuous video on WhatsApp to the CEO, who also owns The Washington Post. The Saudi government, and the prince specifically, have been linked to the murder of Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was critical of the regime. Bezos' private photos were later leaked to the National Enquirer. In a... |
| Tesla strikes deal to sell cars in Michigan Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:53 AM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Tesla has reached a deal with Michigan that will allow the company to sell its cars directly in the state, bringing a multiyear legal battle to an end. It's a small but crucial victory for Tesla, and one that comes in the home state of the automotive industry. Thanks to a state law that forces automakers to work with dealers to sell their vehicles, would-be Tesla customers in Michigan have had to travel to neighboring states to buy one of the company's vehicles. Tesla owners had to do the same to get their vehicles serviced. But that will now change. The Michigan attorney general's office announced Wednesday morning that it reached an agreement with Tesla to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the company in 2016 over the state law. (Tesla sued... |
| This is Microsoft’s vision for dual-screen apps on Windows 10X and Android Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:50 AM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Microsoft is starting to share more details on exactly how it imagines apps will run on dual-screen devices like the Surface Duo and Surface Neo. The software giant unveiled both devices back in October, with the smaller Surface Duo running Android and the larger Surface Neo powered by Windows 10X. Now, Microsoft is getting developers ready to test their apps to see how both devices will span them across both displays. By default, an app will occupy a single screen according to Microsoft. Surface Duo or Surface Neo users can then span the app across both displays when they're in double-portrait or double-landscape layout. Microsoft envisions that app developers will experiment with different ways to utilize both screens. Some of these... |
