| Hackers hijacked nearly half of the NFL’s Twitter accounts, as well as ESPN and UFC Posted: 28 Jan 2020 04:25 PM PST  The social media accounts of almost half of the teams in the National Football League, as well as the official NFL account, were hacked, the NFL said in a statement today. Some ESPN social media accounts were also "briefly compromised," ESPN said today in a statement to The Verge. The NFL accounts were hacked on Sunday and Monday. Many of the hacked NFL tweets promoted the hacker group OurMine, announcing that the hacking collective is "back" and that "everything is hackable." OurMine has, perhaps predictably, taken responsibility for the hacks, according to the BBC. OurMine also took credit for hacking ESPN's accounts on Tuesday afternoon. NFL reporter Dov Kleiman collected many screenshots of the hacked pages in this Twitter thread. ... |
| Apple is limiting China travel and has closed one retail store due to coronavirus outbreak Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:21 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple CEO Tim Cook said on Tuesday that the company began limiting employee travel to China last week amid the coronavirus outbreak, and that Apple has closed one store in mainland China and reduced operating hours for other retail locations. The announcement is yet more evidence that the virus is affecting the tech industry's presence in one of its most vital markets, both for sales and manufacturing operations. Numerous other tech companies, including Facebook and LG, are also restricting employee travel to only business critical operations. Foxconn, one of Apple's lead supplier, said on Tuesday it did not expect the coronavirus to affect its manufacturing timelines. Yet it was not clear at the time whether Apple had been... |
| NASA’s next big space observatory will likely miss its target launch date — again Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:08 PM PST  NASA's next big space observatory — the James Webb Space Telescope — probably won't launch in March 2021, potentially creating added costs for the long-delayed and over-budget program. Unforeseen technical problems are prolonging the process of finishing up the telescope, making it increasingly likely that the spacecraft will have to launch at a later date. The grim news is detailed in the latest report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which performs audits of federally run programs. The GAO, which has been keeping a watchful eye on the telescope's development for years, claims that there is only a 12 percent chance the agency will meet its March 2021 goal, thanks to a recent analysis done in October by those working on... |
| Google aims to unify its workplace tools and messaging apps into one service Posted: 28 Jan 2020 02:58 PM PST  Photo by Michele Doying / The Verge Google is working on another communications application, this one for workplaces, that will combine several different platforms it already operates, according to a new report from The Information. This new product is designed to unify different Google services the company sells to businesses, including parts of its G Suite like corporate-grade Gmail and Google Drive. It would also bundle together the various, somewhat confusing variants of Hangouts. Once a consumer-focused communications platform, Hangouts is now geared toward enterprise customers. It has since been split into Hangouts Meet, a video chat app, and Hangouts Chat, a real-time text-based successor to Gchat. But that means Google may be introducing yet another communications... |
| US colleges are trying to install location tracking apps on students’ phones Posted: 28 Jan 2020 02:29 PM PST  Image: Alex Castro / The Verge Barely over a year ago, we pointed out how dystopian it seemed when Chinese schools added "smart uniforms" to track their students' attendance. But US colleges are already testing out a similar tactic with a location tracking app, which students are now apparently expected to install on their phones. I say "apparently" because there's some confusion over whether the schools are actually forcing this on their students. The Kansas City Star reported that at the University of Missouri, new students "won't be given a choice" of whether to install the SpotterEDU app, which uses Apple's iBeacons to broadcast a Bluetooth signal that can help the phone figure out whether a student is actually in a room. But a university spokesperson told Campus... |
| Apple’s iPhone 11 and AirPods help company hit a new revenue record Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:40 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple reported its first quarter results for fiscal year 2020 this afternoon, offering an important look into the company's holiday sales quarter and momentum of Apple's various services. The company posted earnings of $4.99 per share and revenue of $91.8 billion. Both outperformed analyst expectations, which were $4.54 earnings per share and revenue of around $88.43 billion. "We are thrilled to report Apple's highest quarterly revenue ever, fueled by strong demand for our iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro models, and all-time records for Services and Wearables," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release. "During the holiday quarter our active installed base of devices grew in each of our geographic segments and has now reached over 1.5... |
| Iran’s favorite ride-sharing app was secretly available on the App Store Posted: 28 Jan 2020 01:37 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge A popular Iranian ride-sharing app that was kicked off the App Store appeared to return this week under a new name, despite American sanctions. Iran has faced years of sanctions from the United States, most recently after the country responded to the killing of General Qasem Soleimani by firing missiles on military bases in Iraq that housed US troops. In 2017, after a round of US sanctions were placed against the country, Apple removed several Iranian apps from its App Store to stay in compliance. Among those apps was an Uber-like ride-hailing service called Snapp, which has proven to be popular in the country. This week, though, some iPhone users noticed something strange about an app called RadickRadio. While the app appeared to be... |

| The long road to Kentucky Route Zero Posted: 28 Jan 2020 12:52 PM PST  It took a few years, but the end of Kentucky Route Zero is finally here. Today sees the launch of Act V of the haunting, surreal adventure game, closing out a protracted saga for both players of the game and the characters in its world. KRZ originally debuted in 2011 as a Kickstarter project, and its first act launched in 2013. The plan was to release subsequent acts — for a total of five — every few months. But the scope of the game proved a bit larger than that schedule. Ultimately, it took seven years to complete the experience. "I think the main reason it takes the amount of time that it does is that there's just three of us," Jake Elliott, one-third of developer Cardboard Computer, tells The Verge. "When we started on the game, we... |
| Nintendo’s mobile games have made over $1 billion, mostly thanks to Fire Emblem Heroes Posted: 28 Jan 2020 12:26 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Nintendo has crossed over $1 billion in revenue from its mobile games for Android and iOS according to a new report from SensorTower — largely carried by the popular free-to-play Fire Emblem Heroes, which was released in 2017. It has since gone on to earn $656 million, more than every other Nintendo mobile game combined. Fire Emblem Heroes is a "gacha" game, where players spend in-game items to randomly pull new characters with different abilities, items, and stats. Unlike games like Fortnite, where players can buy new character skins outright or earn them over time through a Battle Pass, everything in Fire Emblem Heroes is distributed randomly: you might get the rare character you're hoping for on your first pull, or spend hundreds of... |
