Apple is following in the footsteps of Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Studios, and others in not attending the Austin-based conference due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. Variety also confirmed Apple's withdrawal from the event. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Apple's events at SXSW included a world premiere of Spike Jonze's Beastie Boys Story, an animated musical series called Central Park, and a documentary series called Home. The premieres, as well as a talk featuring Little America creators Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, have been canceled, Variety reports. |
| Go read this essay about how life in the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak is ‘a living hell’ Posted: 04 Mar 2020 05:33 PM PST  Photo by Getty Images NPR has a sobering essay about living in Wuhan, China, which is the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. Wuhan has been under a government-ordered lockdown since January 22nd. And according to the author of the essay, who wished to remain anonymous to avoid punishment for criticizing the Chinese government, the lockdown has made life in Wuhan "a living hell." Part of the essay details the struggles the people of Wuhan faced in immediate aftermath of the announcement of the lockdown. The author described how people rushed to 24-hour convenience stores within an hour of the lockdown's announcement to get food. A day later, the author said they celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve with a meal "pieced together from the few ingredients I'd... |
| IBM stops all domestic travel for internal meetings due to coronavirus Posted: 04 Mar 2020 04:24 PM PST  Photo by Chesnot/Getty Images IBM announced Wednesday that it's halting all domestic travel for internal meetings and cutting down on international travel because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The company is also banning employee participation in external events with more than 1,000 attendees. IBM says those restrictions apply through the end of March. IBM is also changing its IBM Think 2020 developer conference into a "digital-first" event, though the conference will still place from May 5th to May 7th. Domestic travel for work with clients is still allowed, but the company is encouraging employees to hold meetings virtually when possible. Canceling conferences, or making them virtual,... |
| Quibi has raised close to $2 billion, and it hasn’t even launched yet Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:57 PM PST  Photo illustration by William Joel / The Verge | Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Video streaming service Quibi, which will debut next month, has raised another $750 million in funding, according to the Wall Street Journal. That brings the total investment in an app hardly anyone's seen to $1.75 billion. The company didn't name the recent investors. And $400 million of that $750 million was raised at the end of 2019, the Journal reports. It's a sign that investors are feeling confident about Quibi's chances of succeeding in a quickly-growing space — and that confidence may have to do with founder Jeffrey Katzenberg. As Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2019, "If anyone can make it work, it's Jeffrey." (Disclosure: Vox Media, which owns The Verge, has a deal with Quibi to... |
| Etsy has started cracking down on coronavirus merchandise Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:22 PM PST  Etsy is escalating its response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak by removing merchandise on the platform that mention the virus or COVID-19, the respiratory illness it causes in human beings, according to a new report from BuzzFeed News. Hundreds of listings have already been removed under the new policy. The decision is aimed, it seems, mostly at combating misinformation, as countless items listed on Etsy have been falsely claiming to protect against the virus, the company says. As a result, however, BuzzFeed News notes that a fair amount of innocuous and parody merchandise like t-shirts that read "Straight Outta Wuhan" and even science-related and educational products like coronavirus-shaped crochet art are also being flagged for... |
| Valve explains one of Half-Life: Alyx’s first levels in this video tour Posted: 04 Mar 2020 03:03 PM PST  Image: IGN You can now check out perhaps our best look yet at the VR-only Half-Life: Alyx, the next game in Valve's seminal franchise, thanks to a new video with 13 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay posted by IGN. The video takes the main character Alyx through one of the game's earlier levels, which was first shown off in a shorter clip on Monday, while Valve's Robin Walker and Corey Peters and IGN's Tom Marks discuss what's going on. Valve says it considers the level in the video to be the "intro to combat." It teaches players how to do things like reload their gun, pick up items, and how to fight classic Half-Life enemies like zombies, ceiling-mounted barnacles, and the series' iconic headcrabs. The game has to teach the player in a very... |
| Apple is experiencing a shortage of replacement iPhones due to coronavirus Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:44 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple has informed its tech support retail employees that stock of replacement iPhones will be strained for the next few weeks, according to Apple Store employees who spoke with Bloomberg. This shortage marks one of the first instances of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and its many ripple effects on industries worldwide, affecting the iPhone maker's existing product supply. Bloomberg notes that the company's iPhone 11 and iPad Pro lines are beginning to see shortages as well. The company shared in a recent investor call that it does not expect to meet revenue goals for the second fiscal quarter of 2020, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has also said worldwide iPhone supply would be "temporarily constrained." But it wasn't clear at the time that... |
| Boosted lays off ‘significant portion’ of its employees Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:33 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Boosted, the company that basically created the market for electric skateboards, has laid off a "significant portion" of its roughly 130-person team amid a serious cash crunch. Boosted's CEO Jeff Russakow and CTO John Ulmen said in a blog post on the company's website that the "Boosted brand will continue to pursue strategic options under new ownership." It's unclear exactly how many were laid off, but two people with knowledge of the layoffs tell The Verge that an overwhelming majority of Boosted's employees were let go with one week of severance. A few customer service and operations team members are being kept on to help wind down the business, these people say. "We understand this news will come as a surprise to many of you, but... |
| Logitech G says this app will improve gaming audio if you take a picture of your ear Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:28 PM PST  Photo: Logitech Logitech G is launching support for a new app that lets you customize your gaming audio for better immersion. The app is supposed to let you hear game sounds like large-scale battles, nearby footsteps, or racing sounds on a race track more clearly. The new app is called Immerse and was made by Embody, a spatial audio company, in partnership with Logitech G. Embody says on its website that Immerse was designed to let PC gamers "hear game audio as you hear sounds in the real world," and make sounds appear to be closer or farther away from you. The Immerse app uses AI to create a personalized sound profile for each user. When you sign up for the app, Immerse... |
| Senator slams Amazon over coronavirus price gouging on hand sanitizer and face masks Posted: 04 Mar 2020 02:21 PM PST  Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images US Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) is harshly criticizing what he sees as Amazon's inconsistent response to ongoing coronavirus-related price gouging on the e-commerce company's third-party Marketplace platform. While Markey is acknowledging that Amazon is indeed removing an ever-increasing number of listings, he said Wednesday in a new letter to CEO Jeff Bezos that Amazon's response needs to improve. He's chiefly concerned about the lack of transparency around how it determines a product is having its prices unfairly raised and the process Amazon undergoes to detect that and then take action. "Last week, Amazon took appropriate first steps in response to this price gouging when it announced it had removed 'tens of thousands' of listings and... |
