Rony Abovitz, the co-founder and CEO of lavishly funded augmented reality company Magic Leap, will step down from his position, reports Business Insider. Abovitz's planned departure, which doesn't yet have a concrete date, marks an unceremonious end to his tenure at the helm of Magic Leap, a once-buzzy startup that earned a high profile for how secretive it was early on about its technology and the eye-popping amounts of venture capital it raised.

Magic Leap has so far raised about $3 billion dollars over the last decade, though it has only released one product, the Magic Leap 1 headset. The company raised $350 million of that funding just earlier this month, after laying off about 1,000 employees back in April and ditching its consumer...

A sequel to the Sonic the Hedgehog movie is in development, as first reported by Variety. It's unclear when the film might be released, but Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler and screenwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller are all returning for the sequel.

Fowler confirmed that he'll be back to direct on Twitter.

Sonic the Hedgehog was a hit for Paramount, earning $70 million in its first four days in theaters this February, according to Variety. However, the film initially had some controversy because of the design of its titular character.

The first design for Sonic's movie representation was strangely (horrifyingly) humanlike. The backlash...

Twitter says you can now schedule tweets right from the main web app. When composing a tweet, you should see a little calendar icon on the bottom row of icons at the bottom of the compose window. Click that and you can specify when you want your tweet to be sent.

Twitter had originally said it was "experimenting" with the feature back in November, and if you didn't have access to that experiment, you needed to use Tweetdeck or another third-party service that supported the feature if you wanted to schedule tweets.

Twitter says you can also now save draft tweets in the web app. However, drafts you write on the web app will only sync to other instances of the web app, according to Twitter, meaning drafts written in Twitter's mobile app...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unlocked the first of 12 possible stock option awards from the massive compensation plan he signed in 2018, and it's worth nearly $800 million. The company disclosed on Thursday that Musk now has the option to buy 1.69 million of its shares because Tesla eclipsed $20 billion in total revenue over the last four quarters and a market capitalization of more than $100 billion — the first in a series of tandem milestones Tesla must hit for Musk to realize the full value of the plan.

Tesla's stock price was $805.81 when the markets closed on Thursday, meaning those shares are worth about $1.36 billion. But Musk only has to pay a $350.02 per share "strike price" to get them, according to the agreement, or a total of...

EA and the NFL extend exclusive partnership for Madden games until 2026

Electronic Arts and the National Football League have renewed the exclusivity contract that gives the game publisher exclusive rights to make so-called simulation football games, which is the classification used for photorealistic football games featuring licensed team names and real players.

The contract now extends to May 2026, although financial terms of the deal, like past contracts between EA and the NFL, were not disclosed. The deal was voted on and approved on Thursday, although Polygon reports the terms were decided before today's vote among team owners and that any such vote over NFL's video game licensing renewal is merely a formality at this point.

While some football fans may have been hoping for the NFL to expand its...

Google and Microsoft have worked together to improve the spellcheck experience in Chrome and Edge. The latest versions of Chrome and Edge are now powered by the built-in Windows Spellcheck feature rather than the previous Hunspell open source implementation. The switch means spellcheck within Chrome and Edge will now have better support for URLs, acronyms, email addresses, and an improved shared custom dictionary.

"This feature was developed as a collaboration between Google and Microsoft engineers in the Chromium project, enabling all Chromium-based browsers to benefit from Windows Spellcheck integration," explains Microsoft's Edge team.

The Windows Spellcheck improvements in Edge.

WarnerMedia yanks HBO Max’s ‘currently available’ titles list after discrepancies discovered

Posted: 28 May 2020 02:45 PM PDT

As part of HBO Max's launch, WarnerMedia included a list of titles currently available to stream on day one, but after discrepancies were discovered between what WarnerMedia advertised and what was actually streaming, the company has pulled the list.

The Dark Knight, 13 Going on 30, The Matrix, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug are just some of the titles originally advertised on WarnerMedia's website but aren't actually on HBO Max. A spokesperson for the company told The Verge that they are "updating this section and will post again once it's complete." Other titles include Man of Steel, Gossip Girl, The Iron Giant, and The West Wing.

Missing titles happen. Rights deals are being made up until the last minute, and it's possible...

DoorDash’s new Storefront feature will help restaurants set up their own websites

Posted: 28 May 2020 02:28 PM PDT

DoorDash on Thursday launched a new initiative called Storefront to help restaurants create websites and directly manage online pickup and delivery orders.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced restaurants to pause their sit-down service, many have become increasingly reliant on delivery platforms like DoorDash, as well as competitors Grubhub, Postmates, and Uber Eats. These partnerships, of course, saddle restaurants with all kinds of commissions and fees, but they're still necessities for many that lack their own delivery infrastructure or a website to facilitate online orders.

DoorDash's goal is to help businesses create their own online stores instead; 40 percent of DoorDash's partners don't have any online ordering system, by the...

How to stop FaceTime from resizing your call windows

Posted: 28 May 2020 02:10 PM PDT

During a group call, FaceTime automatically enlarges the window of whoever's speaking. This means when you have four or more people on a call, the windows will resize, float, and bounce around during a group call. It can be distracting and confusing.

If you'd rather keep all of your FaceTime windows static and the same size during a call, there is quick way to do that in the latest iOS and iPadOS versions, as well as the latest version of macOS.

On iPhone

These instructions are for an iPhone, but the process for the iPad should be similar. First, make sure your FaceTime app is up to date by checking to see if you're running iOS 13.5 or iPadOS 13.5:

  • Open settings.
  • Go to "General."
  • Tap "Software Update."
  • If an update is available, you'll...

Google will soon let G Suite customers with Google Voice licenses make Google Voice calls right from their Gmail inbox. The new feature seems like a handy way to make a Google Voice call without needing to jump to a second tab to do so.

If the feature is rolled out to you, you'll be able to access Google Voice from the toolbar on the right side of your inbox, which is where you might currently see icons for Google Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. Here's a GIF from Google showing what the interface looks like.

Google says the feature will begin rolling out on June 3rd, though you'll only be able use it from Chrome or Firefox on a computer.

Earlier this month, Google announced that you'd be able to access its Meet...
