| ICANN votes down controversial .org sale proposal Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:28 PM PDT  Photo by MARK RALSTON/AFP via Getty Images The organization that oversees internet domain names has rejected a proposal to transfer management of the .org top-level domain from a nonprofit to a private equity group. ICANN said it wouldn't approve the sale of .org operator Public Interest Registry because it would create "unacceptable uncertainty" for the domain, citing concerns about debt and the intentions of the for-profit firm Ethos Capital. In a blog post, ICANN's board said the sale would have given up the current focus of PIR in favor of "an entity that is bound to serve the interests of its corporate stakeholders, and which has no meaningful plan to protect or serve the .org community." It also noted that the sale would leave PIR with a $360 million debt that could... |
| Coronavirus causes worst smartphone market contraction in history Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:48 PM PDT  Photo by Becca Farsace / The Verge The coronavirus pandemic has caused the smartphone market to suffer its fastest ever first-quarter year-on-year decline, according to new data from analyst firms. Counterpoint Research and Canalys both put the overall drop in global shipments at 13 percent, though Counterpoint says the drop in China alone was 27 percent while Canalys calculates it at 18 percent. Whichever numbers you look at, the situation is clear: it's the first time shipments have come under 300 million since 2014, with a precipitous collapse in China preceding falling demand around the world. "By the end of the quarter, as COVID-19 started to spread to other regions, and lockdowns of varying severity were imposed, the pendulum of disruption started to swing from... |
| Walmart launches two-hour delivery service for groceries, electronics, and more Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:21 PM PDT  Walmart store Walmart is launching a new delivery service, called Express Delivery, that will get purchased items to a customers' home in less than two hours, the company announced on Thursday. The new service could be helpful if you need to get items in a hurry while respecting shelter-in-place orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll be able to use Express Delivery for more 160,000 items, including "groceries, everyday essentials, toys and electronics," Walmart says. Express Delivery will cost $10 in addition to the regular charge for delivery unless you're a member of the company's Delivery Unlimited subscription service, in which case you'll just pay $10 for Express Delivery. (Similar to Amazon Prime, Delivery Unlimited costs $98 annually or... |
| Valve indefinitely delays Dota 2’s The International 2020 Posted: 30 Apr 2020 04:31 PM PDT  Photo by Hu Chengwei/Getty Images One of the biggest esports events in the world has been indefinitely delayed amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Developer Valve announced on Thursday that the 2020 edition of the Dota 2 tournament, known as The International, that was set to take place at the Ericsson Globe arena in Stockholm this August will no longer happen this summer and may be pushed back until 2021. In fact, Valve says it simply doesn't know when it can announce concrete dates going forward. "We have been exploring various date possibilities, but it is likely that the event will need to happen in 2021. Given the highly volatile landscape for local gathering restrictions, virus trajectory, and global travel policies, we don't expect to have enough confidence to... |

| Apple says ‘a few’ US retail stores could reopen in May Posted: 30 Apr 2020 03:18 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple expects to start reopening more of its stores in May, after shutting down locations outside of China due to the coronavirus pandemic. Stores in Australia and Austria could reopen in the next two weeks, Apple CEO Tim Cook told Bloomberg. "A few" stores could reopen in the US in the first half of May as well, Cook added, but "not a large number." The decisions will be made location by location, "depending on the circumstances in that particular place," Cook said. Apple has 458 stores outside of China, according to Bloomberg. Apple closed all stores outside of Greater China in March and has since said stores will stay closed "until further... |
| Disney’s animated Hercules is getting a live-action reboot produced by the Russo brothers Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:41 PM PDT  Disney's live-action remakes are on a roll, and news of yet another project broke today: a version of the 1997 Hercules movie, produced (but not directed) by Joe and Anthony Russo of Marvel's Avengers fame, via The Hollywood Reporter. Also attached to the project is Dave Callaham, who worked on The Expendables films, wrote the screenplay for the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and worked as a co-writer on Wonder Woman 1984. The original 1997 movie is extremely loosely based on the Greek myth of Heracles, and sees the young Hercules — the son of Zeus — exiled from Mount Olympus due to the nefarious machinations of the god of the underworld, Hades. While stuck on Earth as a mortal, the demigod Hercules still retains... |
| Microsoft Build goes free, virtual, and more developer-focused for 2020 Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:33 PM PDT  Microsoft is opening up free registrations for its Build 2020 developer event. It's typically one of Microsoft's biggest events of the year, but the software maker is doing things differently this time around. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has forced Microsoft to entirely rethink the event, but instead of canceling, it's bringing it online free for anyone to register. That means developers will no longer have to pay the $2,395 entry fee that's typically associated with Build, and there will still be lots of content available streamed free of charge. Microsoft is keeping some of its traditional keynote-style openings, with opening remarks from CEO Satya Nadella. 48-hour workshops will even be held on Twitch this year. While Build... |
| Reddit removes chat room feature after one day due to site-wide bug Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:30 PM PDT  Remember how Reddit announced just yesterday that it was introducing built-in subreddit chat rooms? Yeah, never mind on that. Alex Le, Reddit's vice president of product and community, said on Thursday in multiple comments that the feature has been "rolled back 100%." Le said that the platform "made several errors" in the process of releasing the function (called "Start Chatting") and apologized for the confusion the rollout caused. One bug, in particular, caused the button to appear on all subreddits, even in the event it didn't do anything when clicked or tapped. "If you dismiss the banner in 3 communities where the feature is active on desktop web or android, then the small button you're seeing appears on all communities. But... |
| Amazon says it’ll spend $4 billion or more dealing with COVID-19 Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:09 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon expects to spend $4 billion or more — the predicted operating profit for the company's entire coming quarter — just on COVID-19-related expenses. In a quarterly earnings release today, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said the expenses will come from spending on personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning for facilities, "higher wages for hourly teams," and expanding its own COVID-19 testing capabilities. Many of the changes have been put in place already and came in response to pressure over treatment of workers during the pandemic. Amazon is under fire for its handling of employees who have publicly criticized working conditions; it fired six tech employees who took a sick day in protest of Amazon's treatment of workers, and there has... |
