| Apple antitrust trial kicks off with Tim Sweeney’s metaverse dreams Posted: 03 May 2021 05:28 PM PDT  Epic Games launched its courtroom war against Apple in an extremely on-brand way: with CEO Tim Sweeney describing the metaverse from Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. It's "a real-time, computer-powered 3D entertainment and social medium in which real people would go into a 3D simulation together and have experiences of all sorts," Sweeney explained to a courtroom partitioned by plastic barriers and a series of teleconferencing hotlines. The metaverse is Sweeney's chosen metaphor for Fortnite, the battle royale game that Apple banned from its iOS App Store last year. Epic sued in retaliation, and today, both companies delivered opening statements before Judge Yvonne... |

| Arrival and Uber are working on an electric ride-hailing car Posted: 03 May 2021 04:01 PM PDT  UK-based EV startup Arrival is working with Uber to develop an electric car that will be "purpose-built" for ride-hailing. Arrival plans to put the car into production in late 2023 and says it will not be exclusive to Uber. Instead, the startup says the goal is to create an affordable vehicle that would appeal to the millions of ride-hailing drivers around the world. It's another vote of confidence in Arrival, which just became a publicly traded company in March after merging with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. Founded in 2015, Arrival is also developing electric delivery vans (with UPS as a customer) and buses. It also has backing from Hyundai and Kia. Arrival and Uber released a handful of renderings of the new car's... |
| Impossible Foods clears legal battle over the ingredient that makes its meat ‘bleed’ Posted: 03 May 2021 03:32 PM PDT  A San Francisco federal appeals court upheld a decision by the Food and Drug Administration to allow Impossible Foods to use "heme," the additive the company says makes its products "taste like meat." Had Impossible Foods lost this legal battle, it could have dealt a heavy blow to the company. Genetically engineered heme is what sets its products apart from other competitors like Beyond Meat that don't use the ingredient. The FDA used a weaker legal standard than it should have to approve the use of heme, the nonprofit Center for Food Safety argued in a lawsuit it filed last year. It said the FDA made its decision based on safety standards for food additives rather than on... |
| Amazon’s Thursday Night Football deal will start early Posted: 03 May 2021 02:54 PM PDT  Amazon made history as the first all-digital streamer to acquire exclusive rights to the NFL's Thursday Night Football, and now the NFL has announced that Amazon will be streaming games sooner than expected — starting with the 2022 season. The NFL's previous announcement set the start of Amazon's exclusivity in 2023. Now Amazon gets its exclusive rights even sooner and for even longer thanks to a new 11-year contract matching the NFL's other partners, including CBS, NBC (and Peacock), and Fox. That means 2021 will mark the final season with Fox broadcasting Thursday Night Football. One important note: Amazon's exclusivity doesn't extend to local markets. You should still be able to watch Thursday Night Football on an over-the-air... |
| Fortnite made more than $9 billion in revenue in its first two years Posted: 03 May 2021 02:12 PM PDT  After a meteoric rise to popularity in 2018, Fortnite generated more than $5 billion in its first year for Epic Games, new financial documents reveal. The document, made public as part of Epic's court battle with Apple over the latter's App Store practices, shows that the game brought in more than $9 billion total for Epic in 2018 and 2019. The document doesn't break down how much Epic specifically profited from Fortnite, but the company reported more than $5.5 billion in profit from the two-year period. In the document, the company predicted that it would have almost $3.6 billion in revenue for 2020. Epic doesn't usually publicly provide financial statements, but CEO Tim Sweeney's recent testimony indicates that it actually made much... |
| It’s once again time to update your iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch as soon as possible Posted: 03 May 2021 02:07 PM PDT  I know there's a ton of other Apple news happening today, but if you're reading it on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch (okay, that last one may be a stretch), you should probably pause and update that device — today's update fixes a security issue that Apple says may have been actively exploited. The updates contained in iOS / iPadOS 14.5.1, macOS 11.3.1, and watchOS 7.4.1 are meant to fix arbitrary code execution exploits present in WebKit, Apple's framework that renders most of the web content you see on your device (unless you're using, say, Chrome or Firefox on Mac). In normal language, the updates patch a hole that let malicious websites run unchecked code on your device, so it's not the type of update you want to put off. If... |
| Bill Gates and Melinda Gates are separating, but their charitable foundation will continue Posted: 03 May 2021 01:49 PM PDT  Bill Gates and Melinda Gates have announced that they'll be ending their marriage after 27 years together, explaining in a joint statement that they "no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives." Bill Gates is best known as the founder of Microsoft, who leveraged his fortune at the helm of that company working together with Melinda Gates to form the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000. The Gates Foundation has since grown to become one of — if not the largest — charitable foundations in the world, with an endowment of almost $50 billion. Bill had previously stepped away from his positions at Microsoft as CEO (in 2000), a full-time employee (in 2008), and a member of the company's board in... |
| Here are Apple’s and Epic’s full slideshows arguing why they should win at trial Posted: 03 May 2021 12:04 PM PDT  Both Apple and Epic have released their opening presentations on why they feel they should win this week's trial, which is set to determine the future of the App Store. In the documents, which you can look through below, each company lays out its case. The lawsuit started when Apple removed Epic Games' Fortnite from the App Store after Epic bypassed Apple's system for in-app purchases. But it's turned into a much deeper examination of Apple's walled-garden approach to technology, and whether some of the walls the company puts up might violate antitrust law. We took a deeper look at the companies' legal strategies in advance of the trial, but you can see the same arguments play out in these presentations. Epic uses metaphors of brick... |
| GM’s installing software on Chevy Bolts to help prevent battery fires Posted: 03 May 2021 11:45 AM PDT  General Motors has finally revealed its plan to fix the issue at the center of last year's Chevy Bolt recall, which the automaker issued in response to a handful of battery pack fires. Affected customers have to bring their Bolts to a dealer so the battery packs can be inspected, and GM says some of the modules that make up the pack may be replaced if any "anomalies" are found. But dealers will also install "advanced onboard diagnostic software" on all of the affected vehicles. That software, GM says, will be able to "detect potential issues related to changes in battery module performance before problems can develop." The company says the software will be standard on all new Bolts moving forward. Following last year's recall, GM... |
