A Motorola Razr’s screen is reportedly peeling right on the fold

The new Motorola Razr is not a good phone — it's expensive, has a mediocre camera, the hinge is creaky, and a display has odd dips and bumps underneath the screen. But now, there's at least one reported instance of the new foldable's screen actually separating from the plastic laminate above the display, and it's apparently doing so right on that bad hinge.

Input's Raymond Wong published an article yesterday about the issues he's seeing with a Razr that Input has owned for a little more than a week. Wong noticed that the screen had started to peel away the laminate top layer right at the hinge, creating a bubble between the screen and the laminate.

Here's what the bubble looks like:

That bubble isn't...

Ring cameras can help you spy on your neighbors, but they haven’t really helped police

Ring's security devices are advertised as a way to have peace of mind about your home, and the company's work with law enforcement to provide additional security is well-documented. But two recent stories about the Amazon-owned company demonstrate how its security cameras can distort your view of how much crime actually takes place near your house and how they may not actually help police solve crimes at all.

In one article, Max Read, writing for New York Magazine, wrote about his experience installing a Ring security camera onto his apartment door. Installing it apparently made him hyper-aware of what was happening around his home, in part due to the app's many notifications about motion from his camera and from "Safety Alerts" sent by...

In a rare investor update on Monday, Apple said the global effects of the coronavirus outbreak are having have a material impact on the company bottom line. The company does not expect to meet its own revenue guidance for the second quarter due to the impact of the virus, and warns that "worldwide iPhone supply will be temporarily constrained." Store closures and reduced retail traffic in China are also expected to have a significant impact.

All of Apple's iPhone manufacturing partner sites have been reopened but are "ramping up more slowly than we had anticipated," which means that fewer iPhones than expected will be manufactured. As a result, "[t]hese iPhone supply shortages will temporarily affect revenues worldwide," says Apple.

A playable build of the never-released StarCraft: Ghost has apparently leaked online

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 12:08 PM PST

Over the weekend, a video and screenshots that appeared to come from a playable Xbox build of the never-released StarCraft: Ghost leaked online. It's a fascinating piece of gaming history. StarCraft: Ghost was a third-person shooter set in the Blizzard' StarCraft universe that was supposed to be released on the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 but never saw the light of day due to a rocky, years-long development history (which you can read all about in this great feature from Polygon).

These new images and video give us a better sense of what that game might have looked and played like. Information from the leak seems to have first been widely shared in a tweet by Andrew Borman, the digital games curator at the Museum of Play:

Go read this report on how the coronavirus is pushing Chinese concerts online

Many cities in China are still in quarantine lockdown in efforts to contain the coronavirus outbreak, pushing most activities online. Day-to-day activities like grocery orders and university classes are affected, but so is live entertainment. Music venues are shuttered across the country, rendering the country's live music scene "temporarily dead and silent." With everyone bored and stuck at home, a report by Hyperallergic (that builds off previous pieces by RADII and CDM) reveals how China's musicians have turned to live-streaming to perform at virtual festivals and club nights.

The report says bands and DJs alike are transforming their homes into performance spaces, with clubs, record labels, and event promoters all hopping on board....

Today, Apple posted a trailer for Amazing Stories, a new anthology series executive produced by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg and helmed by his production company Amblin Entertainment. The new series launches on Apple TV Plus on March 6th.

The new Amazing Stories is a revival of Spielberg's NBC series that first aired in 1985. The original show dipped its toes into fantasy, horror, and science fiction, and based on the trailer, the revival of the show will do the same. The new trailer advertises "five unique stories," and appears to give glimpses of all of them, including one where a grandpa realizes he has superhero powers.

Amazing Stories has been in the works for some time now — The Wall Street Journal reported all the way...

New email scheme threatens to get websites kicked off Google AdSense unless they pay bitcoin

A new email scam threatens website owners with a flood of bot traffic to get their Google AdSense accounts suspended, Krebs on Security reports.

By directing a large amount of bot traffic to a company's banner ads, the scammers could trigger Google's automated anti-fraud protection, which flags traffic that looks like "automated clicking tools or traffic sources," as well as any attempts by ad publishers to artificially inflate impressions by clicking their own ads. Under Google's policies, such actions could result in an ad being restricted until the matter is resolved, meaning few or no clicks on the ad, and less revenue for the publisher.

The scammers in the newest scheme promise not to unleash their bots on the publisher's ad if...

SpaceX loses Falcon 9 booster at sea after successful Starlink launch

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:53 AM PST

SpaceX successfully launched a new batch of its Starlink satellites on Monday morning, but the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket that put them in orbit missed its landing on a floating platform at sea. It's the first time that's happened in almost four years; the last time Falcon 9 booster failed to land on one of SpaceX's drone ships was in June 2016.

To be sure, SpaceX has lost a few rocket boosters since then. The company has lost the center core of the three-core Falcon Heavy two out of three times in that rocket's first few launches. A Falcon 9 booster also missed the landing pad at Cape Canaveral in December 2018, spiraling into the sea instead after a failure with one of the gridded fins that stabilize its descent. SpaceX has...

Justin Bieber was accused of stealing a melody, but it’s actually a royalty-free sample you can buy online

Justin Bieber recently dropped his latest album, Changes, and it took less than 24 hours before the pop star was accused of stealing the melody used in one of its songs. Artist Asher Monroe pointed out that the soft and plucky hook in his 2019 song "Synergy" is the same as the one in Bieber's "Running Over." However, it turned out no one stole anything because the melody isn't by either artist. It's a royalty-free sample by producer Laxcity that can be purchased from online sounds marketplace Splice.com.

Splice is an online marketplace where music makers can buy samples to use royalty-free in their own songs, alleviating licensing and copyright risks. The company works with renowned producers to create sample packs for the platform, i...
