| Netflix is bringing back Black sitcoms Moesha and Sister Sister, and I cannot contain my excitement Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:58 PM PDT  Photo by Walt Disney Television via Getty Images Photo Archives/Walt Disney Television via Getty Images Spread the word: Netflix has secured the rights to stream some of the best Black sitcoms from the 90s and 2000s — including my personal favorites Moesha, Sister Sister, and The Parkers, all of which I fondly remember watching as a little girl. I still remember running to my room to turn on the TV, singing the R&B theme songs for each show (they were so energetic and catchy that I memorized the lyrics word by word), and how amazing it was to see TV sitcoms targeted to my demographic. There weren't a ton of black TV shows, with black female leads taking charge, that focused on things I personally struggled with growing up. I was pretty young when these three shows had their initial runs (I was born in 1995), but thanks to reruns... |
| The Emmys will be held virtually this year and may feature nominees in their homes Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:49 PM PDT  Photo by: Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards will be an all-virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a representative confirmed to The Verge, and it sounds like the new format could lead to peeks inside the lives of some of your favorite television stars, according to a letter from the executive producers (and host Jimmy Kimmel) that was published by Variety. USA Today also obtained a copy of the letter. "We are assembling a top notch team of technicians, producers and writers to work closely with Jimmy Kimmel and with you and your team to make sure that we can film with you (and loved ones or whomever else you choose to be with) at your home, or another location of your choice," reads part of the letter, which was reportedly sent to nominees... |
| ‘Antibodies (Do you have the)’ is the song of our pandemic summer Posted: 29 Jul 2020 03:16 PM PDT  A car with a masked driver rolls down the street, windows open, bass thumping, dystopian chorus blasting into the summer air: Do you have the antibodieeees? Do you want to be with me? It's the new song of this pandemic summer thanks to, uh, the guy who played Cousin Greg in Succession. Historically, it's taken time for apocalypses like climate change to become summer bops. But hey, if nothing else, 2020 is moving fast. The song got its start in May when actor Nicholas Braun (aka Cousin Greg) was quarantining with friends, according to Rolling Stone, where the song premiered today. "My friends are a couple and they've been together for years, but I was back there sort of being like, 'Man, I wish I had somebody right now to go through... |
| Qualcomm hints that the 5G iPhone might not arrive in September Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:34 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Qualcomm's Q3 earnings report might indicate a delay for Apple's upcoming 5G iPhones, with the company highlighting a "partial impact from the delay of a global 5G flagship phone launch" for its fourth quarter projections (which covers July, August, and September earnings). Looking at the calendar of upcoming phone releases, it's hard to imagine that Qualcomm is talking about any device other than the upcoming 5G iPhones, which are expected to arrive this fall. Typically, Apple releases its new iPhone in September, and it's one of the few upcoming devices that would sell in large enough numbers that Qualcomm might need to disclose the material impact on an earnings call. There are already rumors circulating of delays for Apple's 5G... |
| Amazon doesn’t sell Echo speakers at a loss, says Bezos — unless they’re on sale Posted: 29 Jul 2020 01:50 PM PDT  Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Amazon has long been accused of undercutting its rivals with its Echo smart speakers, allegedly keeping competitors like Sonos from getting a foothold in the market — but Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says that at their full retail price, the company isn't taking a loss on these products. During the big antitrust hearing today where Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg are also facing down lawmaker questions, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asked a pointed question about whether Amazon was pricing its Echo devices below cost. This is possibly referring to the theory of predatory pricing where a company tries to drive its rivals out of business by selling products at a loss, something Amazon specifically has... |
| Riot faces criticism after League of Legends competition sponsored by Saudi megacity Posted: 29 Jul 2020 01:20 PM PDT  Photo: Riot Games Riot has come under fire after the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), one of the most popular esports leagues in the world, announced a sponsorship deal with the controversial Saudi Arabian megacity Neom. The developer announced today that the city would become one of the "main sponsors" for the league, joining the likes of Kit Kat and Kia. The announcement was met with instant criticism, given the Saudi government's long history of human rights abuse, which extends to the creation of Neom, pitched as a futuristic playground. In its announcement, Riot explained that the city "will be championing the development of esports across the world." Fans noted their displeasure with the deal on Twitter; the timing is especially... |
| Jeff Bezos can’t promise Amazon employees don’t access independent seller data Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:58 PM PDT  Photo by MANDEL NGAN/POOL/AFP via Getty Images During Wednesday's antitrust hearing, Amazon and its CEO Jeff Bezos came under fire by lawmakers over the company's alleged use of third-party seller data in developing its own products. Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon employees have accessed sales data from independent sellers on its marketplace to help the company develop competing products for its private-label. Amazon has a policy barring the practice, but lawmakers like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) focused in on the company's enforcement of that policy. "Let me ask you, Mr. Bezos, does Amazon ever access and use seller data when making business decisions?" Jayapal asked. Bezos... |
| Google’s business model ‘is the problem,’ David Cicilline says Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:03 PM PDT  Photo by Mandel Ngan-Pool / Getty Images During Wednesday's tech antitrust hearing, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) tore into Google CEO Sundar Pichai over the company's dominance in search and its use of data to monitor would-be competitors. "It is Google's business model that is the problem," Cicilline said, alleging a pattern of anti-competitive behavior that allowed Google to grow while smaller businesses were crushed. "Our documents show that Google evolved from a turnstile to the rest of the web to a walled garden that increasingly keeps users within its sites." Cicilline cited specific emails from "over a decade ago" between Google employees discussing sites that were growing and traffic. Employees "started to fear competition from certain websites [and] web pages that... |
| The cheapest Cam Link clone you can buy actually works pretty well Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:03 PM PDT  Photo by Bijan Stephen / The Verge As The Verge's resident live-streaming reporter, I do a lot of streaming on my own time, both because it's fun and because I want to know a little about what it's like for the people I cover. That's meant I've gained a healthy appreciation for the various pieces of gear that make streaming possible — because streaming is the opposite of effortless. Things break constantly, and most of the time for no obvious reason. (There but for the grace of god go we, etc.) All of that said, I've found that upgrading my stream setup is one of the few true pleasures I have left; there's nothing quite as satisfying as adding a new camera or microphone or chat command that might elevate a viewer's experience. It is in that spirit — the spirit of... |
| Snap’s first diversity report says only 4 percent of the company identifies as Black Posted: 29 Jul 2020 11:30 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Snap, the company behind Snapchat, released its first diversity report today after years of resisting pressure to make those statistics public. The report details the minimal growth the 3,195-person company has made in regards to hiring people of color and women. Black and African American people only represent 4.1 percent of the entire workforce, the report states, and Hispanic / Latinx people make up 6.8 percent. Both groups account for only 3.2 percent of leadership; Black and African American people make up 2.3 percent of tech roles while Hispanic/LatinX account for 3.4 percent. Meanwhile, women only make up 32.9 percent of Snap's workforce with only 16 percent in technical roles. Along with the numbers, Snap says it's setting new... |
