| Facebook and Fox News hosting virtual town hall on coronavirus pandemic using Portal devices Posted: 01 Apr 2020 05:04 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Facebook and Fox News will be hosting a virtual town hall tomorrow at 7PM ET about the coronavirus pandemic using Facebook's Portal video-calling devices, the two companies announced today. To allow people to participate virtually, Facebook is shipping a Portal Plus device to every audience member so they can attend the town hall and ask questions of the speakers. Approximately 30 people will attend the town hall, but not all of them will be participating at the same time, so the number of people connected to the town hall at any given moment via Portal will vary, Facebook tells The Verge. If a Portal call is made using Messenger, a total of eight people can be on the call at the same time, according to a Facebook support page. |
| Apple now lets some video streaming apps bypass the App Store cut Posted: 01 Apr 2020 04:29 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple on Wednesday confirmed the existence of a program for streaming video providers that allows those platforms to bypass its standard 30 percent App Store fee when selling individual purchases, like movie downloads and TV show rentals. The program first became public earlier today when Amazon updated its Prime Video iOS and Apple TV apps to allow in-app purchases for the first time. It is not clear how long the program has existed, but there are at least two other providers, Altice One and Canal+, currently participating, Apple confirmed. In a statement given to The Verge, Apple said the program has been "established" for some time and designed for "premium" providers that allows those companies to use their own payment methods and... |
| FTC sues to unwind Altria’s $12.8 billion investment in Juul Posted: 01 Apr 2020 04:04 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge The Federal Trade Commission is suing to unwind Altria's $12.8 billion investment in Juul Labs, alleging that the two companies worked together to eliminate competition in the e-cigarette market. In its complaint, the FTC said that Juul's e-cigarette products posed a significant threat to Altria's market dominance. Juul had been a competitor to Altria's own e-cigarette offerings. But in 2018, Altria stopped making e-cigarettes and instead became Juul's largest investor. "Altria and Juul turned from competitors to collaborators by eliminating competition and sharing in Juul's profits," said Ian Conner, director of the Bureau of Competition, in a statement. Altria used its leverage as a top tobacco company to secure favorable shelf space... |
| Panasonic worker at Tesla’s NY factory tested positive for COVID-19 Posted: 01 Apr 2020 03:48 PM PDT  Image: Tesla A Panasonic employee at Tesla's solar panel factory in Buffalo, New York tested positive in March for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to internal emails obtained by The Verge. It's the fourth known employee at Tesla's US facilities to test positive for COVID-19, following one at the Gigafactory in Nevada, and two office workers in California. It's unclear when the worker received the positive test results, but the employees at the plant were notified in an email on March 28th. A spokesperson for Panasonic North America told The Verge on Wednesday that it didn't learn of the employee's positive test until this past weekend, sometime before the email went out. The infected employee was not in the office... |
| Call of Duty games can depict Humvees without a license, says judge Posted: 01 Apr 2020 03:07 PM PDT  A New York judge has ruled that publisher Activision isn't infringing trademark by featuring Humvees in its Call of Duty series. The decision, handed down yesterday, is a mark in favor of game developers depicting actual military equipment to create a sense of realism. Humvee maker AM General sued Activision in 2017, claiming Call of Duty players were "deceived into believing that AM General licenses the games." Activision denied the claim, saying it had a First Amendment right to depict official military equipment in a war game. Using trademark to control creative work was "dangerous under any circumstance," its lawyers wrote, "but the claims in this case are particularly egregious because they involve a US military vehicle paid for by... |
| Marriott discloses another security breach that may impact over 5 million guests Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:43 PM PDT  Photo by Justin Heiman / Getty Images Marriott says a security breach may have exposed the personal information of 5.2 million guests. This marks Marriott's second data breach in recent years, following a breach in 2018. Personal information such as names, birthdates, and phone numbers may have been taken in the breach, along with language preferences and loyalty account numbers, Marriott says. Although an investigation is still in progress, Marriott said there is "no reason" to believe that payment information was leaked. Marriott says it discovered in late February that an unspecified hotel chain's system had been compromised, and guest information may have been examined by hackers that acquired the login... |
| The best alternatives to Zoom for videoconferencing Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:39 PM PDT  Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto via Getty Images The Zoom videoconferencing app has become a highly popular means of keeping in touch for a world increasingly in isolation during the coronavirus pandemic, both for personal and professional meetings. However, there have been a number of complaints about Zoom's privacy and security record of late, especially as more and more people flock to the platform and a brighter spotlight is shined on how it works and what data it may collect. We recently ran a roundup of some of the free videoconferencing apps available, including Zoom. Since so many questions have come up about Zoom's security, we've decided to run the roundup again, this time excluding Zoom and adding other apps that you can use instead. As before, it's worth noting that while... |
| YouTube reportedly working on TikTok competitor called Shorts Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:28 PM PDT  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge YouTube used to be the cool kid on the block, but then TikTok showed up and everything changed. Now, YouTube is looking to compete directly with the short-form, user-generated content app by reportedly launching its own version called "Shorts." Shorts will allow people to upload brief videos into a feed inside the mobile app, much like TikTok, and take advantage of licensed music that YouTube Music has in its catalog, according to The Information. Those songs can be used within the videos. TikTok operates by letting people choose from a selection of audio, music and otherwise, and create videos using those sounds. MSNBC's Dylan Byers added additional confirmation on Twitter shortly after The Information's report went live. Take a look... |
| Hey Robot, the genius game that tests your smart speaker, is now free on the web Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:21 PM PDT  Photo: Everybody House Games Hey Robot, the immensely clever board game from designer Frank Lantz's Everybody House Games, now has a free digital version on the web for anyone to play. Lantz says he and his collaborators, which include his wife Hilary and his son and daughter-in-law, threw together a "quick & dirty online version of Hey Robot for people to play during quarantine." It's available here. The game is played much like classic Taboo, except with digital assistants and smart speakers. You're given a word, and you have to try to get Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri, or Google Assistant to say it aloud without you saying it first. (Probably best to stick with Amazon or Google on the assistant side, for good measure). |
| Spotify and Warner agree to an ‘expanded’ global licensing deal Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:20 PM PDT  Alex Castro / The Verge Today, Spotify and Warner Music Group announced in a short statement that the two entities have renewed their global licensing agreement. This news comes about two months after Spotify ended its "global food fight" with Warner / Chappell Music (Warner Music Group's publishing arm), and the two entities inked a multi-territory licensing agreement. "Spotify and Warner Music Group are pleased to announce a renewed global licensing partnership," the joint statement reads. "This expanded deal covers countries where Spotify is available today, as well as additional markets. The two companies look forward to collaborating on impactful global initiatives for Warner artists and songwriters, and working together to grow the music industry over... |
