| Lil Yachty’s Quibi show is the first to find a life raft Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:26 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Remember Quibi, short-lived media company and purveyor of bizarre shows like Murder House Flip and a horror anthology featuring a golden arm? It's only been a little over a week since the mobile-first, shortform streamer announced it was shuttering, but already the first of its unreleased shows has found a new home: Lil Yachty's dramedy, Public Figures, is headed to HBO Max. It seems pieces of Quibi might live on — whether you watched it or not. Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman's efforts to sell Quibi outright to big companies like Apple and WarnerMedia was one of the first indications that things were about to go bottoms up at the young company. The attempts that followed to sell off Quibi's unreleased content all but confirmed the... |
| Google is bringing its own VPN to desktops and phones with $9.99 Google One subscription Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:59 PM PDT  There are any number of VPN services you can use to help protect your privacy and security with an encrypted internet connection, and now Google has its own. Well, technically, it already did, but only for Google Fi cellular subscribers on Android smartphones. Now, the company's announcing it'll throw in an Android-based VPN free of charge to any 2TB Google One cloud storage subscriber in the US — and will expand to iOS, Windows and Mac and other countries "in the coming months." As you can see in the image above, you'll need to be on the 2TB Google One plan which costs $9.99 a month or $99 per year, so it's not exactly a free VPN. But if you're interested, this Google GIF shows you how to turn it on: A new... |
| YouTube brings in $5 billion in ad revenue as Alphabet and Google bounce back Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:09 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Google parent company Alphabet's third quarter revenue increased 14 percent from the year before, led by a rebound in advertising revenue for both Google and YouTube. YouTube brought in $5 billion in advertising revenue in the third quarter of 2020 — a sign that advertisers who pulled back on their spending because of the coronavirus earlier in the year may be returning to something resembling normal. YouTube now has more than 30 million music and premium paid subscribers — 35 million, including free trials — and YouTube TV has more than 3 million subscribers. That's especially strong, since YouTube TV announced a monthly price increase from $50 to $64.99 in June. And in what may be a sign of the times, views for guided meditation... |
| NASA’s OSIRIS-REx probe successfully stores small sample of asteroid rocks in its belly Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:06 PM PDT  NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has successfully stored a small cache of rocks that it grabbed from the surface of an asteroid named Bennu last week, sealing the pebbles inside the vehicle's belly. The asteroid particles will now remain inside the spacecraft over the next three years, as OSIRIS-REx makes its way back to Earth. OSIRIS-REx grabbed the sample on October 20th of last week, more than four years after launching from Earth on its mission to touch an asteroid. Using a thin robotic arm, the vehicle lightly tapped the asteroid Bennu, stirring up rocks on the surface and pushing some of the pebbles up into the spacecraft. While the maneuver worked as planned, OSIRIS-REx was a... |
| PlayStation CEO says VR won’t be a ‘meaningful’ part of gaming for years Posted: 29 Oct 2020 02:56 PM PDT  Photo: Sony Sony PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan says virtual reality won't be a meaningful part of interactive entertainment in the near future. Ryan indicated to The Washington Post that VR still has a long way to go, although he emphasized that Sony isn't giving up on the medium. The statement suggests that an update to Sony's PlayStation VR headset is years away. "I think we're more than a few minutes from the future of VR," Ryan told the Post. "PlayStation believes in VR. Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment. Will it be this year? No. Will it be next year? No. But will it come at some stage? We believe that." He notes that the upcoming... |
| Amazon’s net income tripled last quarter, and it didn’t even have Prime Day to help Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:55 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Even without Prime Day, Amazon had a blockbuster quarter. Its net income nearly tripled from this time last year, as retail store closures and coronavirus restrictions encouraged people to spend big online. In its earnings report today, Amazon said it made $6.33 billion in net income, up from $2.13 billion during the same quarter a year earlier. Amazon's Prime Day — which has previously been held in July — was delayed until October, so it didn't give a boost to this quarter's results. The corporate holiday / sales event offers days of discounts, helping to drive purchases during an otherwise slower season. Even without it happening this summer, Amazon's net sales reached $96.1 billion for its third quarter, up from $70.0 billion the... |
| Apple’s big services bundle, Apple One, launches tomorrow Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:51 PM PDT  Apple's big services bundle that will bring together products like Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, and Apple News Plus, will launch tomorrow, the company's chief financial officer, Luca Maestri, told Bloomberg. Apple first announced Apple One during a September event, breaking down the different tiers that customers will be able to access. There are three different bundle tiers people can choose: Individual, Family, and Premier. The Individual plan gives subscribers Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple Arcade, and iCloud storage (50GB) for $14.95 a month. The Family plan ups the amount of iCloud storage to 200GB of iCloud storage for $19.95 a month and adds an Apple Music family plan (the Arcade and TV Plus benefits are the same... |
| Apple’s Mac and services businesses hit new records in Q4 earnings Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:47 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Apple today announced its fiscal fourth quarter earnings, reporting $64.7 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $0.73 in a quarter that was "led by all-time records for Mac and services," according to CEO Tim Cook. Like last quarter, Apple's Mac and iPad lines showed strong performance as people continue working and learning from home due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic. The Mac had its biggest quarter ever, tallying $9 billion in sales. Apple introduced the latest iteration of its entry-level $329 iPad in September, increasing the device's performance. The mid-tier iPad Air got a more significant makeover with a new design — now matching the iPad Pro — and a much faster processor. iPad sales were up 46 percent from the... |
| Facebook weathers ad boycott and messy election season to report massive growth Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:44 PM PDT  Photo by Michele Doying / The Verge Among the tech platforms, no company, perhaps save Twitter, has had as contentious of a year as Facebook. The social media giant spent the last three months dealing with a notable ad boycott and one of the messiest and most complicated election cycles in US political history. Yet, Facebook's handling of its many issues around political advertising, moderation, and election interference have had seemingly no effect on its bottom line, as the company just reported an astonishing quarter of revenue and user growth. The company reported a 22 percent year-over-year increase in revenue to $21.2 billion, as well as a 12 percent increase in profit to $8 billion. Its user growth is also still in the double digits, with 12 percent more people... |
| A new app helps gig workers find where to whizz Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:26 PM PDT  The Whizz app displaying locations for Waba Grill, its first partner | Image: Whizz As businesses tighten entry restrictions because of the pandemic, delivery and ride-share drivers are struggling more than ever to find open and usable restrooms. An app, playfully named Whizz, is trying to help. Described as being developed "by gig workers for gig workers," Whizz is a bathroom finding app that is partnering with restaurants to provide gig workers with some much-needed relief. The app displays partnered restaurant locations on a map, currently limited to Southern California and some locations in Arizona and Nevada. Users pick a nearby restaurant and show an employee their phone to gain access to their bathroom. While several public bathroom finder apps already exist, Whizz's strategy is different in that it's seeking... |
