| Unpublished writer decided to cybersquat on a famous author’s website, and it backfired Posted: 05 Feb 2020 05:33 PM PST  Photo by Sarah Jeong / The Verge An enterprising cybersquatter who is not Patrick deWitt has commandeered patrickdewitt.net in an attempt to attract attention for their own novel (via Willamette Week). And while the squatter has backed off some of his more audacious demands by scrubbing them from the website, screenshots and archived versions of the site still exist because this is the internet and that's how things work around here. It's slightly different than what most people think of as cybersquatting, since the person currently in control of patrickdewitt.net doesn't appear to be asking for payment to return control of the site. The person actually seems disappointed that so far, deWitt hasn't even acknowledged the situation. They just really, really want deWitt... |

| Apple now sells more watches than the entire Swiss watch industry Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:39 PM PST  Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge The Apple Watch wasn't just the best-selling smartwatch last year, but also put the Swiss watch industry to shame, according to new sales estimates compiled by Strategy Analytics. The report estimates Apple shipped nearly 31 million units in 2019, a 36 percent jump over last year. The Swiss watch industry, which includes brands like Swatch and TAG Heuer, only shipped an estimated 21.1 million units, a 13 percent decline, Strategy Analytics says. While Apple doesn't break out specific Apple Watch unit sales in its quarterly earnings, Strategy Analytics gathers data from retail partners and other vendors to arrive at its sales estimates. "Analog wristwatches remain popular among older consumers, but younger buyers are tipping toward... |
| Apple’s ‘CarKey’ might let you unlock your car with your iPhone Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:07 PM PST  Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge Apple released the first beta of iOS 13.4 today, and it apparently has an unannounced feature that might let you unlock, lock, and start your car with your iPhone or Apple Watch, as spotted by 9to5Mac. The iOS 13.4 beta has references to a new "CarKey" API, according to 9to5Mac, which could let you hold your iPhone or Apple Watch near an NFC-compatible car to use your phone as a key. Your digital key may live in your device's Wallet app, and you might be able to share your digital car key via the Wallet app to someone else's Apple device, perhaps a family member or trusted friend. Some carmakers already let you use your phone as a digital car key through their apps, but they can have some limitations. Hyundai has a digital key app, but... |
| Motherboard just published the terrible app that caused chaos at the Iowa caucuses Posted: 05 Feb 2020 03:03 PM PST  Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images The IowaRecorder app, the shoddy mobile software developed to tally votes in the state's Democratic caucuses on Monday that threw the entire event into a tailspin, was just published online by Motherboard. According to editor-in-chief Jason Koebler, "Trust and transparency are core to the US electoral process," and "that's why Motherboard is publishing the app that malfunctioned in Iowa." "The app's failure — and the widespread attention this failure has received — spurred chaos on election night, followed by speculation, conspiracy theories, and political jockeying," Koebler writes in an article that contains a link to the Android APK file, which anyone can download and sideload onto a compatible Android smartphone. "To try to combat... |
| Motorola’s new foldable Razr torn down on video before it even hits stores Posted: 05 Feb 2020 02:41 PM PST  PBKReviews Motorola's new foldable Razr doesn't officially arrive until next month, but we're already seeing teardowns posted online. The first is courtesy of PBKReviews, which posted a detailed teardown video of the device and its folding screen before the phone has even shipped to most customers. The hotly anticipated Razr is available for presale for $1,499, with current orders not shipping until March 3rd, according to Verizon's website. The throwback to the Moto RAZR flip phone has inspired feelings of nostalgia among those clamoring for old-school devices, with Motorola delaying the original preorder and launch dates of the new Razr due to higher-than-expected demand. But if this first teardown video is any indication, the Razr will be... |

| All of Lost will stream for free on Amazon’s lesser-known IMDb TV streaming service Posted: 05 Feb 2020 02:07 PM PST  Image: ABC Some good news for Lost fans: all 121 episodes of the series will soon be available to stream for free. The only downside is that it requires using yet another streaming service — and dealing with ads. IMDb TV, a free streaming service owned by Amazon, will be the exclusive free streaming service for Lost, according to Variety. Fans of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's ABC drama will be available to stream the episodes beginning May 1st, marking the 10th anniversary month of the series finale. Streams will contain ads. Lost is just one of 21 shows that will stream for free on IMDb TV, alongside Ugly Betty, Ally McBeal, My So-Called Life, Desperate Housewives, and Malcolm in the Middle. The additions are part of a new deal with Disney... |
| How to add Instagram close friends Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:31 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge For the first few years of Instagram's existence, it was a pain to hide stories from people. You had to dig into an individual story's settings and select followers to hide it from. Then, if you wanted to let those followers see the next story, you had to go into that story's settings and undo the block. But in 2018, Instagram launched the close friends feature, which makes it much easier to share content with a limited group. Once you've created a close friends list, you'll have the option to share stories with just that list. If you're posting content that could be controversial, personal, or NSFW, the option can save you some stress. Instagram's new companion app, Threads, is specifically designed for messaging your close friends.... |
| Spotify needed a huge podcast, and it just bought one of the biggest Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:18 PM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Spotify continued to prove it's serious about dominating the podcast industry with an announcement today that it acquired The Ringer, a media company known both for its culture website and massive podcast operation headlined by The Bill Simmons Podcast. Now, Simmons' show might instead anchor Spotify's expanding podcast empire. The acquisition rounds out a year in podcast-related purchases for Spotify. Almost exactly a year ago, the company bought Gimlet Media, a podcast network with shows like Reply All and Startup, and Anchor, a podcast creation app. Later in the year, it bought Parcast, a network that specializes in true crime and horror. Taken together, Spotify now owns programs related to sports, horror, and crime, as well as... |
