| The Apple TV app is now available on LG’s 2019 TVs Posted: 03 Feb 2020 07:01 PM PST  LG has made the Apple TV app available on a variety of its 2019 smart TVs as promised, according to a press release from the company. The app will be on TVs in more than 80 countries and gives users access to Apple's new Apple TV+ video subscription service as well as the ability to rent or buy movies from iTunes. LG's 2019 TVs already support AirPlay 2 and HomeKit for wireless integration with Apple devices. The company announced a new lineup of TVs for 2020 at CES last month with the Apple TV app already loaded; 2018 TVs will also get the app at some point later this year. The update should more or less remove the need for a separate Apple TV 4K box, unless you want access to Apple's tvOS App Store. Apple Arcade games, for example,... |
| Google now has a ‘multibillion-dollar’ hardware business, has paid $80B to Android app devs Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:42 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge "We have no idea how much money Google makes from hardware," Marketwatch wrote two years ago. That's no longer entirely true — the company's hardware division is a "multibillion-dollar" business, the company revealed during parent Alphabet's Q4 earnings call (via 9to5Google). That suggests that hardware rakes in at least $2 billion, but could theoretically be a bit more: Google's hardware businesses are lumped together with subscription services like YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium in Google's "Other" category, all of which added up to a total of $17 billion of revenue in 2019. Even if we knew how much of that was hardware, it'd be hard to say which devices are leading the charge, be they Pixel phones and laptops; Nest... |
| Quibi drops new trailers for Will Forte and Idris Elba shows ahead of April launch Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:32 PM PST  Image: Quibi Short-form video platform Quibi has released new teaser trailers on its YouTube channel that give a first look at some of the new shows coming to the mobile-focused streaming service. The trailers, as well as the company's recent Super Bowl commercial, are part of Quibi's efforts to try and convince people to subscribe to the new service when it launches on April 6th. One show, Flipped, is about a couple (Will Forte and Kaitlin Olson) who are trying to compete on a house-flipping reality TV show and find a huge stash of money in the wall of a house: Another, Elba Vs. Block, pits actor Idris Elba and rally car driver Ken Block against each other in what look like a number of wild car stunts: And in The Fugitive, Kiefer Sutherland... |
| Cards Against Humanity rescues ClickHole from its private equity owners Posted: 03 Feb 2020 04:35 PM PST  Cards Against Humanity has purchased parody website ClickHole from digital media company G/O Media in an all-cash deal with and will make it a majority-employee-owned company, BuzzFeed News reported today. Cards Against Humanity is allowing ClickHole to operate as an independent organization and giving it financial support, which essentially means that the makers of one of the funniest card games out there have bought a website that specializes in regularly mocking the clickbait-iest things on the internet. Oh, and Cards Against Humanity is basically giving ClickHole free reign to write whatever they want. It's the perfect match. "We just want to give [ClickHole] a... |
| Mobile app errors could delay Iowa Caucus results Posted: 03 Feb 2020 04:05 PM PST  Photo by Joshua Lott/Getty Images Monday's Iowa Caucus results could be delayed after precinct chairs reported trouble accessing a new mobile app used for reporting their final results, according to Bloomberg. There are nearly 1,700 caucus sites, and the chairs of each precinct are able to use a brand new mobile app this year to record the night's final results. But caucus leaders said Monday they were struggling to download and sign in to the new app only hours ahead of the event. The final results could be "delayed by a few hours," Bloomberg reported, but shouldn't affect the outcome of the caucus or the reporting of results. At the end of the event, some caucus volunteers who opted to use the app could be forced to read their results over the phone to state party... |
| TikTok is testing profile redesigns that make it look like Instagram Posted: 03 Feb 2020 03:26 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge TikTok is testing a user profile redesign that's remarkably similar to Instagram. The new profile shifts avatars and follow count to the left, and places more emphasis on user bios. The redesign was first spotted by New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz. A TikTok spokesperson confirmed the company was testing a redesign to The Verge: "We're always looking for ways to improve the user experience on TikTok. We are currently testing profile designs and functionality to ultimately give users more ways to personalize and engage with their profiles."

| Harvard cancels digital security talk led by spyware-linked lecturer Posted: 03 Feb 2020 03:02 PM PST  Harvard's Shorenstein Center has called off an online harassment training for journalists after it was linked to a prominent spyware vendor. The event had been pitched as a way for female reporters to learn about contemporary cybersecurity threats, led by Juliette Kayyem and Nancy Gibbs, both prominent figures in the digital rights community on staff at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. But Sunday night, journalists who had signed up for the training got an abrupt and unexpected message. "Thank you for your interest in the planned February 6th webinar," the message read. "Unfortunately, this event has been canceled." The email didn't give details on why the event had been canceled, but it had to do with an unexpected item on... |
| Twitter briefly took over a parody account and gave it to the school it mocked Posted: 03 Feb 2020 03:02 PM PST  SUNY Geneseo, a liberal arts college in upstate New York, just wanted the parody Twitter account @SUNYGenseeo deactivated. Instead, Twitter handed over the keys to the unofficial account created by a student, a school representative says, giving the school access to delete most of sophomore Isaiah Kelly's tweets, as first reported by Business Insider. While a Twitter spokesperson admits the company made a "mistake" in how it handled the situation, it didn't elaborate on why it chose to take the action it did, or whether it was common practice to give account access to a third party when impersonation is involved. "We made a mistake and should have suspended @SUNYGenseeo for impersonation," Twitter spokesperson Aly Pavela writes in an... |
| PETA compared ‘speciesism’ to racism in allegedly banned Super Bowl ad Posted: 03 Feb 2020 02:10 PM PST  An ad that PETA claims was banned from airing during the Super Bowl faced backlash on Twitter for seemingly depicting NFL players who took a knee to protest police brutality as animals. A bee, bear, and even fish take a knee in the cartoon ad as "The Star Spangled Banner" is hummed in the background. The ad was "inspired" by former 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who knelt when the national anthem was played at NFL games to protest police violence against black people, PETA said in a statement. The ad was meant to promote PETA's campaign to "end speciesism," which the organization calls a "supremacist worldview" that allows humans to mistreat other species. The animal... |
| Traffic jams in Google Maps could be spoofed with 99 phones and a little red wagon Posted: 03 Feb 2020 02:08 PM PST  Image: Simon Weckert Seeing traffic jams in Google Maps can really help you plan your route home from work. But a video posted this weekend seems to show that a traffic jam could be spoofed into Google Maps with nothing more than a bunch of phones piled into a little red wagon. In the video, posted by Simon Weckert, a Berlin-based artist who focuses on examining the value and impact of technology, a man walks down some city streets pulling a wagon with 99 smartphones that all have Google Maps' navigation turned on. As the man pulls the wagon, the streets get progressively redder on Google Maps. Those red streets would typically indicate a bad traffic jam — but the video shows that the streets were nearly empty. Usually, Google determines where traffic jams... |
