| Microsoft’s new Xbox Series S console confirmed in leaked controller packaging Posted: 09 Aug 2020 04:20 PM PDT  Microsoft is rumored to be unveiling its second, cheaper next-gen Xbox console this month, and it looks like it will definitely be called Xbox Series S. The Verge has obtained photos of Microsoft's new next-gen Xbox controller in white, complete with packaging that mentions the Xbox Series S. Twitter user Zak S was able to purchase the controller today, and we've confirmed it's genuine. The new controller was sold on a resale site today, and the side of the packaging notes that the controller works with both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Microsoft has not officially unveiled an Xbox Series S yet, nor has the company even confirmed a white Xbox Series X controller. Xbox Series... |
| Toshiba is officially out of the laptop business Posted: 09 Aug 2020 02:40 PM PDT  Toshiba quietly exited the laptop business once and for all last week, ending a 35-year run by transferring its remaining minority stake in its PC business to Sharp. Two years ago, Toshiba sold an 80.1 percent stake of its PC business to Sharp for $36 million, and Sharp renamed the division Dynabook. Sharp exercised its right to buy the remaining 19.1 percent of shares back in June, and Toshiba released a statement August 4th that the deal was completed "As a result of this transfer, Dynabook has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sharp," Toshiba said in a statement. The company made the first PC laptop in 1985: The T1100 boasted internal rechargeable batteries, a 3.5-inch floppy drive, and 256K of memory. ComputerWorld's 20-year... |
| Amazon reportedly considering mall spaces for fulfillment centers Posted: 09 Aug 2020 01:53 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon has had talks with Simon Property Group about converting some of its mall spaces into fulfillment centers, The Wall Street Journal reported. The conversations started before the coronavirus pandemic, and before the latest wave of bankruptcy filings by mall stalwarts like Lord & Taylor, JCPenney, and Nieman Marcus. It's a bit of an on-the-nose example of how e-commerce is overtaking the traditional brick-and-mortar retail establishments that used to be at the center of the shopping mall experience. Simon is the biggest mall owner in the US, and looking to fill empty retail spaces, particularly those left behind by former anchor tenants like Sears and JCPenney. Having its fulfillment center warehouses closer to residential areas... |
| US passes 5 million coronavirus cases Posted: 09 Aug 2020 12:42 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge As school districts across the country struggle to figure out how — or if— to safely reopen schools to teachers and students, the number of coronavirus cases in the US passed 5 million on Sunday, according to the Coronavirus Research Center at Johns Hopkins University. And according to a Washington Post analysis, the US hit the 5 million mark just 17 days after passing 4 million cases. The US leads the world in the number of coronavirus cases, accounting for nearly a quarter of the 19.7 million cases worldwide. As of Sunday, Brazil was second with just over 3 million cases, followed by India at 2.1 million cases. And the US is at the top of another grim coronavirus list, according to Johns Hopkins, with more than 162,000 deaths. While... |
| Computer scientist Frances Allen, known for her work on compiling, dies at 88 Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:21 AM PDT  IBM Frances Allen, whose work on computer compiling helped establish a foundation for much of modern computer programming, died on August 4th, her 88th birthday. She was the first woman to win the Turing Award, and the first female IBM fellow. Allen was determined to make the tedious compiling process — converting software programs into ones and zeroes— more efficient. The work became a hallmark of her career. After receiving a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Michigan, Allen took a job with IBM Research in Poughkeepsie, NY, in 1957, intending only to stay until she had her student loan debt paid off. She taught IBM employees the basics of its new Fortran language, later becoming one of three designers for the company's... |
| Apple wants this recipe app to stop using a pear in its logo Posted: 09 Aug 2020 09:26 AM PDT  Apple has filed a notice of opposition against a meal prep company because it claims the Prepear app's cartoon fruit logo— in this case, a pear— is too close to Apple's own trademarked logo which is, of course, an apple (via MacRumors and iPhone in Canada). The company claims the pear logo would "cause dilution of the distinctiveness" of the Apple logo, and make it difficult for consumers to distinguish between Prepear and Apple's goods and services, which it argues is a violation of the Lanham Act. The dustup started when parent company Super Healthy Kids filed to register a trademark for the Prepear logo. The Prepear app lets users store and organize recipes, and create custom meal plans. The logo is in the shape of a pear, with a leaf... |
| Huawei says it’s running out of chips for its smartphones because of US sanctions Posted: 09 Aug 2020 06:45 AM PDT  Illustration by William Joel / The Verge Huawei, the world's biggest smartphone vendor, says it's running out of processor chips because of US sanctions against the company, The Associated Press reported. And according to Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's consumer business unit, as of next month the Chinese phone manufacturer will no longer be able to make its own Kirin chipsets due to the ongoing economic pressure from the US. "Unfortunately, in the second round of U.S. sanctions, our chip producers only accepted orders until May 15. Production will close on Sept. 15," Yu said at a conference August 7th. "This year may be the last generation of Huawei Kirin high-end chips." Huawei's upcoming Mate 40 phone, scheduled for release in September, could be the last phone with a Kirin... |
