| Disney bringing Frozen 2 to Disney Plus three months early amid coronavirus pandemic Posted: 13 Mar 2020 07:24 PM PDT  Disney has decided to bring its incredibly popular Frozen 2 to its Disney Plus streaming service three months early "surprising families with some fun and joy during this challenging period" as the country fights the novel coronavirus pandemic. "Frozen 2 has captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time," said Bob Chapek, Disney's recently appointed CEO, in a press release. Bringing Frozen 2 to Disney Plus at a time when more people are working from home and schools are closing is also a chance for Disney to bolster additional subscribers. Other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu (also owned by Disney) are... |
| Comcast and T-Mobile to suspend internet data caps for the next 60 days Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:17 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Comcast and T-Mobile have announced suspensions of their internet data cap policies in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Comcast says it will no longer charge overage fees for home internet customers that go over its broadband data caps, while T-Mobile says it's removing all data caps for its mobile customers. AT&T and Verizon have taken similar measures. "During this extraordinary time, it is vital that as many Americans as possible stay connected to the internet — for education, work, and personal health reasons," Comcast Cable CEO Dave Watson said in a statement. "Our employees also live and work in virtually every community we serve, and we all share the same belief that it's our Company's responsibility to step up and help... |
| Elon Musk underplays coronavirus threat, tells employees that car crashes are more dangerous Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:01 PM PDT  Photo by Win McNamee / Getty Images Elon Musk sent a memo to SpaceX employees on Friday underplaying the dangers of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, which is now considered a pandemic, according to a report from BuzzFeed News. Musk's email, sent earlier today, told employees of the space transport company that they were far more likely to die from a car crash than COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. He also said that, based on the evidence he had seen about COVID-19, he doesn't think it's "within the top 100 health risks in the United States." The email follows a tweet Musk sent last week saying "the coronavirus panic is dumb." SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

| Contrary to Trump’s claim, Google is not building a nationwide coronavirus screening website Posted: 13 Mar 2020 03:20 PM PDT  Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge Google is not working with the US government in building a nationwide website to help people determine whether and how to get a novel coronavirus test, despite what President Donald Trump said in the course of issuing an emergency declaration for the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, a much smaller trial website made by another division of Alphabet, Google's parent company, is going up. It will only be able to direct people to testing facilities in the Bay Area. More than an hour after Trump's press conference, a Google communications Twitter account passed along the following statement from Verily, which is a different company inside the Alphabet corporate umbrella:

| Everything you need to know about the coronavirus Posted: 13 Mar 2020 03:14 PM PDT  Photo by VIVEK PRAKASH/AFP via Getty Images Public health experts around the globe are scrambling to understand, track, and contain a new virus that appeared in Wuhan, China, at the beginning of December 2019. The World Health Organization named the disease caused by the virus COVID-19, which references the type of virus and the year it emerged. The WHO declared that the virus is a pandemic. The Verge is regularly updating this page with all the latest news and analysis. You can see where and how many cases of the illness have been reported in this map. So far, there have been over 137,000 confirmed cases and 5,088 deaths. Over 69,000 people have recovered from the illness.

| Netflix, Disney stop production on projects in precautionary coronavirus measures Posted: 13 Mar 2020 03:11 PM PDT  Both Netflix and Disney have halted productions on current films and TV shows in an attempt to prevent the further spread of the novel coronavirus. Netflix confirmed to The Verge that it is pausing scripted TV and film production in both the US and Canada for two weeks due to government restrictions, alongside health and safety precautions. A statement from Disney reiterates that "while there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on our productions, after considering the current environment and the best interests of our cast and crew, we have made the decision to pause production on some of our live-action films for a short time." Disney's statement adds that it will "continue to assess the situation and restart as soon as feasible."... |
| Trump flip-flops on question of receiving a novel coronavirus test Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:29 PM PDT  Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images While at Mar-a-Lago last week, President Trump took a picture. In it, he's standing next to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's press secretary, who later tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Two senators who were also at Mar-a-Lago are self-quarantining. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who also interacted with the aide, tested positive for the virus. Trump, however, maintained at a press conference today that he does not have to quarantine. "I take pictures, and it lasts for literally seconds. I don't know the gentleman that we're talking about is. I have no idea who he is," he said. Trump then said he did not need to be tested and that doctors should not be jumping to recommend tests unless they were absolutely necessary. When... |
| Bill Gates steps down from Microsoft board Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:15 PM PDT  Photo by Saeed Adyani / Netflix Bill Gates, co-founder and former CEO of Microsoft, is stepping down from the board of the company. Gates previously served as CEO of Microsoft until 2000 when he stepped down from the position in order to spend more time on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2008, Gates left his full-time role at Microsoft in an official capacity to focus all of his efforts on philanthropy. Gates stepping down from the board is apparently due to similar motivations, with a press release announcing the news citing a desire to "dedicate more time to his philanthropic priorities." Gates will still serve as a "technology advisor" to current CEO Satya Nadella, a role he began in 2014 at Nadella's request when he stepped down from serving as chairman... |
| The Oculus Quest is back in stock Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:08 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge The Oculus Quest untethered virtual reality headset is available on Oculus' website. The ship date at the time of publishing is March 16th. This model, along with many other VR headsets, has been out of stock for the past few months — in part due to the impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic on manufacturing. It's unclear if this is a sign that availability is returning to normal or if this is a limited supply. Valve recently sold through a limited amount of its Index virtual reality headset on Monday. So far, the stock only seems to be available through Oculus, but both the 64GB ($399) and 128GB ($499) models are available. Best Buy, Amazon, and other retailers that normally sell the Quest don't appear to have received units just yet. ... |
| You can now take up to 12 ounces of hand sanitizer through airport security Posted: 13 Mar 2020 01:42 PM PDT  Photo by Robert Alexander/Getty Images The Transportation Security Administration announced that it was updating its policies concerning liquids in carry-on baggage in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Air passengers will now be allowed to bring on board hand sanitizer containers up to 12 ounces (355 milliliters) in size, which is much larger than the standard 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) previously allowed. There are some caveats, though. The updated policy only applies to hand sanitizer. And larger containers will be subject to additional screening by TSA agents, which will likely lead to increased wait times. So ask yourself before heading out to the airport: how much sanitizer do you really need?
