| Rent the Runway lays off all retail employees due to coronavirus uncertainty Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:54 AM PDT  Photo by Kelly Sullivan/Getty Images for Rent the Runway Rent the Runway, a popular clothing rental brand, laid off its entire retail staff via Zoom yesterday. The company, which primarily operates online, has brick and mortar locations in California, New York, Chicago, and Washington DC. All stores are currently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the company is not sure when or if they will be able to reopen. During a Zoom meeting with retail staff, a company executive said the business has been forced to "dramatically reassess" its current operations in order to sustain the business. "All teams at RTR are being impacted in some way today," she added. "With the current uncertainty and continued government restrictions that are aimed to protect public health during this unprecedented... |
| Cuomo announces NY primary will move to June 23rd as Trump considers ‘enforceable’ quarantine Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:23 AM PDT  Photo by BRYAN R. SMITH/AFP via Getty Images Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York will postpone its April 28th presidential primary election until June 23rd, as the Empire State deals with the largest coronavirus outbreak in the US, the New York Times reports. "I don't think it's wise to be bringing a lot of people to one location to vote, a lot of people touching one doorknob, a lot of people touching one pen," Cuomo said during a news conference Saturday. New York's primary for state legislative and congressional elections already is scheduled for June 23rd. The Democratic National Committee had warned states that postponing their primaries later than June 9th could result in penalties, including a possible reduction of delegates. Ten states and Puerto Rico have rescheduled their... |
| Zoom updates iOS app to remove code that sent device data to Facebook Posted: 28 Mar 2020 08:05 AM PDT  Photo Illustration by Rafael Henrique/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Video conferencing app Zoom updated its iOS app Friday to remove code that sent user data to Facebook, Motherboard reports. The update follows Motherboard's analysis of the app, which showed it was sending data to Facebook such as a user's time zone and city, when a user opened the app, and details about the user's device, even if the user didn't have a Facebook account. The extent of the data-sharing was not clearly spelled out in Zoom's privacy policy, according to Motherboard. According to a blog post by Zoom CEO Eric S. Yuan, Zoom implemented its "Login with Facebook" feature using Facebook's software development kit (SDK) for iOS. On March 25th, the company says it was made aware "that the Facebook SDK was collecting device... |
| A new COVID-19 test can return results in 5 minutes Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:25 AM PDT  Abbott's ID NOW system. | Abbott A new COVID-19 test from the medical device company Abbott can return positive results in five minutes — and it can be run in a doctor's office. The test was approved for emergency use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration last night. The test uses Abbott's small, portable ID NOW platform, and doesn't have to be sent to a central lab for analysis. Instead, it can be done directly in an emergency room or urgent care clinic, which could cut down on the days-long wait time some patients now face for test results. Doctors could take a swab from a patient's nose or throat and insert it directly into the machine, and have results within 15 minutes (it can take up to 13 minutes if the sample is negative for the virus).

| 11 new trailers you should watch this week Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Photo: Amazon Studios I'd completely expected to be writing a note this week about how the COVID-19 pandemic has largely shut down trailer production, but it turns out, my assumption was wrong. While things have certainly slowed down, streaming services are almost singlehandedly keeping up the new releases. If anything, this is a great moment for them to debut a new show or series since everyone is stuck indoors. That said, we'll see how long this lasts. Productions are being shut down for health reasons, and it seems like every major movie coming out in the next couple of months is being delayed. So there may come a point where the backlog of content thins out. I certainly suspect it'll be a bit before we see any trailers for tentpole films. For now, it's a... |
| OneWeb files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Posted: 28 Mar 2020 06:38 AM PDT  Image: OneWeb Space exploration firm OneWeb has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, GeekWire reports, leaving uncertainty about the 74 satellites it has in orbit and its plans to provide high-speed internet from space. In a news release, OneWeb said it plans to use the bankruptcy proceedings to pursue a sale of the company. "While the company was close to obtaining financing, the process did not progress because of the financial impact and market turbulence related to the spread of COVID-19," according to the news release, which also mentioned that the company was "forced to reduce our workforce." It did not indicate how many people may have been laid off. Last Saturday, OneWeb successfully launched 34 satellites on a Soyuz rocket from... |
