| New Trailers: The Crown, The Midnight Sky, Run, and more Posted: 01 Nov 2020 02:11 PM PST  Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher in 'The Crown' | Netflix I have only watched the new episode of The Mandalorian once (so far) but it is so great to have this fun, nerdy show back. I won't spoil anything but it was A) nice to see The Baby aka Baby Yoda aka my green son, B) nice to see Timothy Olyphant and C) great to see the coolest show on streaming is still very, very cool. Check out the review of the first episode here, and look for weekly Friday recaps of new episodes on The Verge. This week's trailers include the new season of the other best show on streaming: The Crown. Look I have eclectic tastes, OK? The CrownThe sight of Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher was most welcome for this erstwhile X-phile, but also: DIANA! The series will finally catch up to the Charles-Diana marriage... |
| Facebook reportedly skirted its own rules to protect conservatives from disciplinary measures Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:25 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Over the past several months, conservative groups— including associates of President Trump— were often not penalized by Facebook for violating its rules because people at the company worried about the perception of anti-conservative bias, The Washington Post reported. The Post examined posts and ad spending along with internal Facebook documents. It found accounts that included Donald Trump Jr. and a pro-Trump super PAC were shielded from the platform's most serious enforcement actions. For instance, according to the Post, Facebook removed a strike against Trump Jr. on Instagram — which is owned by Facebook— that would have led to him being labeled a "repeat offender" and could have meant a permanent ban under platform rules.

| No, Sean Connery did not write a mean letter to Steve Jobs Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:06 AM PST  The late Steve Jobs | Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images A fake letter from Sean Connery to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is making the rounds on social media following the actor's death on Saturday. Just to reiterate: it's fake, the product of humor site Scoopertino, which posts satirical articles about Apple and goings-on at its Cupertino (get it that's the name) headquarters. The typewritten letter dated 1998 purports to show Connery's outrage over Jobs asking him to appear in an Apple commercial. "I do not sell my soul for Apple or any other company. I have no interest in 'changing the world' as you suggest," it states. "You are a computer salesman, I am fucking JAMES BOND!" But the internet loves things that are too good to be true, and Sunday morning, the "letter" was circulating on... |
| Disney’s new skinless robot can blink like a human because why not Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:09 AM PST  A robot by Disney Research uses realistic eye movements | Disney Research Once you get past the fact that it has no skin, the new robot from Disney Research is an impressive feat of robotics. First reported by Gizmodo, the new robot can imitate human facial movements, specifically blinking and subtle head movements. A sensor in its chest area (covered by a shirt, because the face is unsettling enough, thanks) alerts the robot when to turn and face a person in front of it, and its eye movements shift from direct eye contact to the rapid eye movements known as saccades. It also moves slightly up and down to mimic breathing. The robot was developed by engineers at Disney's Research division, Walt Disney Imagineering, and robotics researchers from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the California... |
| Apple TV Plus one year later: still on trial Posted: 01 Nov 2020 05:12 AM PST  Photo by Noah Berger / AFP / Getty Images Outside of excited Apple executives, no one thought much of Apple TV Plus. Even with $6 billion allocated for content and a roster of talent that included J.J. Abrams, Reese Witherspoon, and Oprah Winfrey, little on Apple TV Plus shined at launch. With the exception of The Morning Show, Apple TV Plus barely managed to enter the conversation, while other new entrants like Disney Plus soared right out the gate. But streaming isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. The anniversary of Apple TV Plus arrives with the platform getting better each month, but it's still not where Apple needs it to be. It's impossible to ignore the most obvious flailing that Apple TV Plus is facing: there's no back catalog to keep people around once they've finished... |
