At the Epic trial, Phil Schiller got away clean Posted: 18 May 2021 06:43 PM PDT ![]() Phil Schiller is one of the biggest names at Apple, and at the Epic v. Apple trial, his job was to make Apple feel small. Over two days of testimony including several hours of cross-examination, he didn't always succeed — but he left the stand without facing some of Epic's harshest lines of attack. Schiller, whose title is simply "Apple Fellow," has spent more than 30 years with the company. In his testimony, he recounted joining Apple in the '90s and watching Steve Jobs reorganize the then-failing computer maker. He reminisced about the iPod and name-dropped largely forgotten competitors like Handango and BlackBerry Messenger. In court, Epic Games has portrayed Apple as a scolding, disingenuous bully that locks users into a walled... |
Spotify and YouTube Music will bring much needed offline tunes to Google’s Wear watches Posted: 18 May 2021 06:11 PM PDT ![]() Spotify's product lead for cars and wearables teased an exciting new feature coming to Wear devices during Google's Developer Keynote on Tuesday: the ability for the streaming services' 356 million users to download music directly to their watch, and listen to it at times when they don't want to carry their phone (via XDA Developers). The feature isn't included in the redesign that was just released, but Spotify says that it's currently in the works. The announcement came alongside Google's reveal that it would be merging Wear OS with Samsung's Tizen. During Tuesday's I/O keynote, Google promised that the updated OS would bring faster performance and longer battery life, which are currently still issues for Wear OS watches.

Top streamer says Twitch revoked her ability to run ads without warning Posted: 18 May 2021 03:00 PM PDT ![]() Twitch has removed the ability for Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa, one of the most popular streamers on its platform, to run ads on her videos — even though it's unclear that she broke any of the site's rules. Siragusa said in a tweet that it's because her streams are "not advertiser friendly." Siragusa is known for streaming herself chatting and gaming while wearing swimsuits. She's hugely popular, with more than 20,000 subscribers — putting her among the site's top 20, according to TwitchTracker. She's also been the target of relentless criticism because of her appearance, including sexist attacks from Twitch users who argue that the success of some women on the platform is unearned or illegitimate.

Google employees call for company to support Palestinians and protect anti-Zionist speech Posted: 18 May 2021 02:23 PM PDT ![]() A group of Jewish Google employees is calling on the company to increase its support of Palestinians amid Israel's deadly bombing campaign in Gaza. The conflict started with Israel's attempt to evict Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, and escalated when militants fired rockets toward Jerusalem and Israel responded with airstrikes. In an internal letter, Google workers ask CEO Sundar Pichai to put out a statement condemning the attacks, including "direct recognition of the harm done to Palestinians by Israeli military and gang violence." The letter currently has 250 signatures. (An external version of the note can be found here). The request is coming from a new employee resource group which formed last year in response to... |
Amazon extends ban on police use of its facial recognition software ‘until further notice’ Posted: 18 May 2021 01:34 PM PDT ![]() Amazon has extended its moratorium on law enforcement use of its facial recognition software "until further notice," according to Reuters. The ban was set to expire in June. As early as 2018, Amazon employees had pushed Amazon to scale back the project, arguing that documented racial bias in facial recognition could exacerbate police violence against minorities. Amazon defended the project until June 2020, when increased pressure from widespread protests led to the company announcing a yearlong moratorium on police clients for the service. Rekognition is offered as an AWS service, and many of Amazon's cloud computing competitors have similar technology. Microsoft announced that it would also not be selling its facial recognition services... |

Google is trying to make its image processing more inclusive Posted: 18 May 2021 12:34 PM PDT ![]() It's a long-standing problem that dates back to the days of film: image processing tends to be tuned for lighter skin tones and not that of black and brown subjects. Google announced an effort to address that today in its own camera and imaging products, with a focus on making images of people of color "more beautiful and more accurate." These changes will come to Google's own Pixel cameras this fall, and the company says it will share what it learns across the broader Android ecosystem. Specifically, Google is making changes to its auto-white balance and exposure algorithms to improve accuracy for dark skin tones based on a broader data set of images featuring black and brown faces. With these tweaks, Google aims to avoid... |
Google previews Project Starline, a next-gen 3D video chat booth Posted: 18 May 2021 12:10 PM PDT ![]() Google is working on a next-gen video chat booth that makes the person you're chatting with appear in front of you in 3D. You can see them from different angles by moving around and even make eye contact, Google said during a preview of the project at its I/O conference today. The system is called "Project Starline," and it's basically a really, really fancy video chat setup. The platform uses multiple cameras and sensors to capture a person's appearance and shape from different perspectives. It then stitches those together into a 3D model that's broadcast in real time to whomever they're chatting with. In Google's preview, Starline was used for person-to-person calls (not group chats), and both sides seemed to be using specialized tech... |
Google announces health tool to identify skin conditions Posted: 18 May 2021 11:47 AM PDT ![]() Google's latest foray into health care is a web tool that uses artificial intelligence to help people identify skin, hair, or nail conditions. The company previewed the tool at I/O today, and it says it hopes to launch a pilot later this year. People can use their phone's camera to take three pictures of the problem area — for example, a rash on their arm. They'll then answer a series of questions about their skin type and other symptoms. The tool then gives a list of possible conditions from a set of 288 that it's trained to recognize. It's not intended to diagnose the problem, the company said in a blog post. |
