| ICANN’s founding chairman joins the battle to keep .org out of private hands Posted: 07 Jan 2020 06:26 PM PST  Photo by Nadine Rupp/Getty Images In November, the Internet Society (ISOC), which owns the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the group that maintains the .org top-level domain, announced it would sell PIR to Ethos Capital, a private equity firm — an ownership structure that would seem to be at odds with what .org represents. Today, a group of internet and nonprofit leaders formed a nonprofit cooperative corporation that's trying to stop the sale and become the future stewards of the .org domain instead (via The New York Times). The new non-profit cooperative corporation, officially called the Cooperative Corporation of .ORG Registrants, is led by many people who currently have or have had influence over the inner workings of the Internet, including Esther Dyson, the... |
| Sprint is killing off Virgin Mobile USA Posted: 07 Jan 2020 06:06 PM PST  Photo by Roberto Machado Noa/LightRocket via Getty Images We lost the excellent Virgin America airline a few years back, and the virtual cellular network that owes its name to Sir Richard Branson may soon be on its way out too. Sprint announced today that it's going to be shutting down Virgin Mobile USA starting on February 2nd, transferring existing customers to Boost Mobile instead. An FAQ on Virgin Mobile USA's website doesn't specify a particular date the shutdown will be complete, but does say that customers can get a head start on the transfer to Boost if they want. It's possible you won't notice much of a difference. A Sprint spokesperson told FierceWireless that customers will be able to keep the same phone and keep paying the same price, and you'll still technically be on the same... |
| CES 2020 rolls on with Intel’s tiny PC, Impossible Pork, and a mask to filter out air pollution Posted: 07 Jan 2020 05:36 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Razer, Intel, OnePlus and Impossible Meat made strong entries in the first full day of CES. |
| Filmmaker Mode is coming to Samsung and Philips TVs to cure motion smoothing Posted: 07 Jan 2020 03:26 PM PST  Image: UHD Alliance At CES 2020, the UHD Alliance, a coalition that helps define display standards, announced that Filmmaker Mode, which is designed to show films with as little motion smoothing or post-processing as possible, will be coming to TVs released in 2020 from Samsung, TP Vision (which makes Philips-branded TVs internationally), and Kaleidescape (via Hollywood Reporter). LG, Panasonic, and Vizio, which previously expressed interest in bringing Filmmaker Mode to TVs, also shared details about their implementations of the setting. According to Variety, LG said it will have Filmmaker Mode in "every new 4K and 8K TV that we introduce in 2020." Panasonic said its 2020 OLED HD 2000 series will include the Filmmaker Mode, with more on the way. And LG,... |
| No, the US Army isn’t drafting you for WWIII by text message Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:39 PM PST  Photo by Luke Sharrett/Getty Images No one's being drafted for World War III — yet. And if you received a text saying that you were drafted, the United States Army wants you to know that the message is fake. On Tuesday, the Army put out a news bulletin alerting the public of fraudulent text messages from people claiming to be recruiters. Some texts tell the person receiving them to head to their local recruiting office for "immediate departure to Iran." Others expand on that message, saying that if the person doesn't respond, they'll "be fined and sent to jail for minimum 6 years." "U.S. Army Recruiting Command has received multiple calls and emails about these fake text messages and wants to ensure Americans understand these texts are false and were not initiated by this... |
| Boeing and NASA are forming an investigation team to figure out cause of spacecraft mishap Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:22 PM PST  Boeing's CST-100 Starliner after landing in the New Mexico desert on December 22nd. | Photo by Bill Ingalls / NASA Boeing plans to work with NASA to figure out why the company's newest passenger spacecraft, the CST-100 Starliner, suffered a mishap during its first uncrewed launch to space at the end of December. The two organizations will form a joint "independent investigation team," according to a NASA blog post, which will spend about two months figuring out the root cause of the failure. The Starliner is Boeing's space capsule, designed to carry future astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. Before any people fly on board the vehicle, Boeing hoped to perform a dress rehearsal mission with Starliner, sending the capsule to dock with the ISS without a crew. After years of development, the... |
| Samsung copied Apple’s Face ID logo in its CES keynote Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:10 PM PST  It's not the worst press conference mistake we've seen at CES this year, but Samsung revisited a classic during its keynote last night: copying Apple's work, continuing a seemingly endless pattern of Samsung (and other companies) cloning Apple, intentionally or otherwise. In this case, Samsung presented an icon for facial recognition that is almost indistinguishable from Apple's Face ID icon. As iMore indicates, they're not exactly the same — the lines all seem a bit thicker and closer together, and the corners are perhaps a touch less rounded — but we're basically looking at Apple's Face ID icon, which is seemingly slightly adjusted to fit in with the art on the rest of the slide. |
| Watch Mobileye’s self-driving car drive through Jerusalem using only cameras Posted: 07 Jan 2020 02:02 PM PST  Photo by Christoph Dernbach/picture alliance via Getty Images When it comes to self-driving cars, the general axiom for sensors is "the more the merrier." The safest systems are the ones that use a multiplicity of sensors, such as cameras, radar, ultrasonic, and LIDAR. Having these redundant sensors is the whole point: if one fails, the remaining sensor suite can help navigate the car to safety. Mobileye, a company that specializes in chips for vision-based autonomous vehicles, believes in redundancy, but it also believes in the power of its camera-based system. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, the Intel-owned company demonstrated how one of its autonomous test vehicles navigated the complex streets of Jerusalem using cameras only. |
| Samsung’s Odyssey G9 is the most extreme ultrawide gaming monitor Posted: 07 Jan 2020 01:53 PM PST  Samsung's Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is an incredible thing to behold in person. It's on the show floor at CES 2020, and pretty much everyone who sat in front of the 49-inch 1440p display was dazzled. You're going to have an impossible challenge trying to find a rig that can push the latest PC games at 240Hz. But if you're a competitive e-sports player who specializes in older titles, this display could be a dream. Those not running it at 240Hz can still take advantage of its sharp resolution and that immersive 1000R curvature that pretty much envelops your whole field of vision. The back is very sci-fi, with a clear cutout in the center that reveals a round LED that shifts colors. It looks like Iron Man's arc reactor.... |
| A massive telecom union just launched a new campaign to unionize game developers Posted: 07 Jan 2020 01:39 PM PST  Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images The Communication Workers of America (CWA), one of the largest unions in the US formed initially by telecom workers, has launched a new campaign to help unionize the game and technology industries. Called The Campaign to Organize Digital Employees (CODE), the initiative is working with grassroots organizing efforts around the US and in Canada to improve working conditions among video game developers and tech workers. The news was first reported on Tuesday by the Los Angeles Times. For years, game developers have complained of brutal working hours, including expected and even planned-for periods of extreme overwork known as crunch. Workers in the industry have also suffered from a culture and economic structure in the game industry that... |
