| J.J. Abrams says the Valve Portal movie is ‘finally on the rails’ Posted: 24 May 2021 06:44 PM PDT  J.J. Abrams has said that a movie based on Valve's Portal is still in the works, and that a script is finally being written, according to IGN. Abrams is light on details, but says that Warner Brothers is excited about the direction the movie is going in, and that it "feels like that thing's finally on the rails." We originally heard about the movie all the way back in 2013, when Abrams and Gabe Newell were on stage together at the DICE Summit. At the time, Abrams apparently told Polygon that the plan was "as real as anything in Hollywood ever gets." That was eight years ago, so it seems he was right to couch it like that. |
| Evidence is piling up that Netflix wants to be the Netflix of games Posted: 24 May 2021 05:36 PM PDT  Netflix has dipped a toe in gaming on occasion, with perhaps the hugely-successful "choose your own adventure"-style film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch as the most prominent example. But the streaming giant may be expanding further into gaming with a new bundle for Netflix subscribers, according to several reports over the past few days. The Information had the first report on Friday, writing that Netflix wants to hire an executive to oversee new gaming efforts, and that the company is considering a bundle of games similar to Apple Arcade. (Hours later, Reuters corroborated that a gaming exec is a planned hire at Netflix.) The company has also chosen not to include ads in the games, according to The Information. But The Information also... |
| Google now lets you password-protect the page that shows all your searches Posted: 24 May 2021 04:32 PM PDT  Google has added a way to put a password on your Web and Activity page, which shows all your activity from across Google services, including your searches, YouTube watch history, and Google assistant queries (via Android Police). Without the verification, anyone who picks up a device you're logged into could see that activity. To activate the verification, you can go to activity.google.com, and click the Manage My Activity verification link. From there, you can select the Require Extra Verification option, save, and enter your password to confirm that you're the one trying to make the change. If you don't have the verification... |
| Apple stayed on message while Epic filled out the record Posted: 24 May 2021 03:10 PM PDT  Sure, "hot-tubbing" sounds fun, but in a court context, it's just a judge encouraging lawyers to argue — which is how Epic v. Apple ended today. Not with a bang but with a quarrel. In honor of the trial's final day, a raft of spare lawyers were in the gallery, representing Epic and Apple. But everyone who spoke to the judge — Epic's Gary Bornstein and the three lawyers who handled the end of the case for Apple, Dan Swanson, Veronica Smith Moye, and Richard Doren — had their backs to the gallery the entire time. Throughout the trial, Epic's general strategy appears to have been to stuff the record as full of evidence as possible — just in case it's needed on the inevitable appeal. To do that, Epic sacrificed telling a coherent story. |
| Elon Musk and Bitcoin miners say they want to address crypto’s sustainability problem Posted: 24 May 2021 02:54 PM PDT  MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor tweeted Monday that after a weekend meeting with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and "leading Bitcoin miners in North America," the group has agreed to form a Bitcoin Mining Council, "to promote energy usage transparency [and] accelerate sustainability initiatives worldwide." Musk tweeted earlier in the day that the group "committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising." According to Saylor, the group included representatives from Argo Blockchain, Blockcap, Core Scientific, Galaxy Digital, Hive Blockchain Technologies, Hut 8 Mining, Marathon Digital Holdings, and Riot Blockchain.

| Tim Sweeney concludes Epic v. Apple trial by repping fried chicken Posted: 24 May 2021 02:49 PM PDT  Epic CEO Tim Sweeney is a man who says what's on his mind, even if it'll ruffle a few feathers. And apparently the first thing on his mind, following today's closing remarks in the Epic v. Apple trial, was chicken dinner.
Winner winner, wishful thinking? Perhaps. After all, Fortnite competitor PUBG does love its chicken, and there's been plenty of time for Apple's subliminal messaging to kick in! Besides:

| ‘Rogue’ Commerce unit scanned social media for Census disinformation Posted: 24 May 2021 12:36 PM PDT  A security unit within the US Commerce Department monitored Americans' Twitter accounts for posts critical of the US Census and conducted unauthorized surveillance to gather information about US citizens and foreign visitors, according to a fact sheet released Monday by the ranking Republican on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The Washington Post first reported on the existence of the unit, which is called the Investigations and Threat Management Service (ITMS). According to the fact sheet, ITMS had its operations suspended as of May 14th, after an investigation launched in February by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) showed that the service had conducted "a variety of improper activities dating back to the... |
| Sony’s brilliant, 75-inch LED TV is $600 off at several retailers Posted: 24 May 2021 12:32 PM PDT  If you're looking for a behemoth 4K TV with impressive motion handling, solid black levels, and vibrant colors right out of the box, it's hard to go wrong with the Sony X950H series. Sony's 75-inch HDR display is not cheap at $2,600, however, Best Buy, Amazon, and BuyDig are all currently offering the TV for $600 off the initial list price, bringing it down to $2,000. The X950H model also sports four HDMI ports, compatibility with both Alexa and Google Assistant, and a host of Android TV features. It's one of the best deals we've seen on Sony's premium LED in recent months, especially when you consider that BuyDig is throwing in a $100 Visa gift card with each purchase. We've gushed about the Sony WH-1000XM4 on many occasions — and why... |
| Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S7 FE is like a Tab S7 Plus without the high-refresh screen Posted: 24 May 2021 12:11 PM PDT  The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE (Fan Edition) could be officially launching soon according to a new German product page spotted by WinFuture. The tablet appears to be a renamed version of the previously leaked "Galaxy Tab S7 Plus Lite" that first made the rounds in March 2021. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE is the first Fan Edition of one of Samsung's tablets, a tweaked version of the earlier iPad Pro-inspired 12.4-inch Tab S7 Plus. While the Tab S7 FE shares the same 12.4-inch screen size as the older Tab S7 Plus, it appears to be using a TFT LCD display, like the 11-inch Tab S7, rather than the OLED found in the Tab S7 Plus. Another cost-saving measure is found in the processor: the Tab S7 FE has a Snapdragon 750G octa-core processor and 4GB of... |
| Google Photos finally stops pretending its compressed photos are ‘high quality’ Posted: 24 May 2021 12:02 PM PDT  Are you planning to stick with Google Photos when its free unlimited storage disappears on June 1st? If you're anything like me, you're probably still struggling to figure out whether you can afford to procrastinate that decision a tad longer — and today, Google has made that reckoning a little bit easier. First off, the company's finally telling it like it is: Google will no longer pretend its compressed, lower-quality photos and videos are "High quality," something that would have saved me a lengthy explanation just last week! (After June 1st, existing Google Pixel phone owners still get unlimited "High quality" photos, but if you're on, say, a Samsung or iPhone instead, it's not like there was ever a "Normal quality" photo that... |
