After Alameda County health officials cautioned Tesla against reopening its California car factory yesterday, CEO Elon Musk tweeted today that the company would sue the county and move its headquarters out of state. Hours later, Tesla's attorneys filed suit in US District Court in the Northern District of California seeking an injunction against the county's shelter-in-place order, because it "contradicts the Governor's Order to the extent it restricts the operation of business operating in the federal critical infrastructure sectors."

"Tesla is filing a lawsuit against Alameda County immediately," Musk said on Twitter. "The unelected & ignorant 'interim Health Officer' of Alameda is acting contrary to the Governor, the President, our...

FDA authorizes rapid COVID 19 antigen test

The Food and Drug Administration has granted the first emergency use authorization to diagnostic healthcare company Quidel Corp. for the first COVID-19 antigen test, the agency announced. Antigen tests can quickly detect the coronavirus, but are generally considered less accurate than other types of tests that search out the virus.

Antigen tests for COVID-19 are akin to rapid flu or strep tests. This test can be run in a lab or in a doctor's office, and only takes about 15 minutes.

The tests typically used to diagnose COVID-19, called PCR tests, search out the genetic sequence of the coronavirus in a swab collected from a patient's nose or throat. Antigen tests, on the other hand, look for molecules on the surface of the virus. They...

Los Angeles FC forward Adama Diomande is bored. With professional sports on indefinite hiatus throughout most of the world, he misses being on the field with teammates and competing in front of thousands of fans every week. Like the rest of us, he's been stuck at home; that means trying his best to stay in shape, including jogging around the city at night, and keeping up with friends and family through video chats. But he's managed to satiate his desire for competition by taking part in eMLS, an esports tournament that pairs professional soccer players and FIFA pros. "I love competing," Diomande says. "I just love to win."

Like most professional sports leagues, MLS has been slowly taking steps into the video game space, but that process...

Former Google engineer James Damore, who sued Google in 2018 for allegedly discriminating against conservative white men, has asked a court to dismiss the suit, Bloomberg reported. The written request by Damore and three other men who joined his suit also was joined by Google. Damore's attorney said as part of an agreement with Google the men are barred from speaking about the case beyond the Thursday filing in Santa Clara Superior Court, according to Bloomberg.

Neither Damore's attorney nor Google responded to requests for comment from The Verge on Saturday.

The company fired Damore in 2017 after he wrote a controversial internal memo suggesting women were biologically less suited for tech jobs. The memo later became public, and Google...

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and while the ongoing pandemic continues to be a nuisance that is probably preventing you from making special plans this year, you can still pick up a nice gift for a mom in your life. One of those gifts ideas is a DJI Osmo Mobile 3 gimbal to stabilize footage recorded on a phone, whether mom likes to shoot in vertical or horizontal mode. These come in a special pre-wrapped Mother's Day bundle right now directly from DJI for $139.

In addition to the gimbal (which usually costs around $120 by itself), you'll get a bunch of goodies tossed in for a little extra, including a wrist strap, storage pouch, anti-slip pads, the Osmo Grip Tripod and an Osmo Carrying Case, a digital photo frame, and an 8GB SD card.

9 new trailers you should watch this week

I watched HBO's new film Bad Education last week. The whole thing felt a bit like a heist movie in reverse — it's about a superintendent who's stealing money from his school district, only you're watching as the crime unravels, rather than as it plays out.

It's a fun film, in large part thanks to Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney taking on some big characters. But the movie also takes the course a lot of true-story movies do, where they worry more about telling you what happened than they do about building characters.

I think this works to a point. It's a wild story, and they do an entertaining job telling it. But I wish the film pushed a little further into who these people are. Showing the crime only as it's unraveled is a cool way to...

Razer’s excellent Viper gaming mouse is free when you buy the Huntsman TE keyboard

Starting Sunday May 10th, Razer will host a promotion at Best Buy that bundles its Huntsman Tournament Edition wired gaming keyboard with the Razer Viper mouse. The keyboard alone costs $130, and that price will include the Viper (usually $80 by itself) for free with purchase. Just add the keyboard to your cart and the mouse will be added automatically.

The Huntsman TE is an 80 percent form factor keyboard (it lacks a number pad, but has directional keys along with the ever-useful Print Screen and other functions), so it shouldn't take up much room on your desk. It has linear optical switches, which Razer claims can last longer than standard switches, and they're faster to register a button press, too. As is usually the case with Razer's...
