| Internal emails reveal how badly Apple wanted to keep Netflix using in-app purchases Posted: 05 May 2021 07:11 PM PDT  Internal emails revealed during the Epic Games v. Apple lawsuit show that employees at Apple were considering giving Netflix special treatment to convince the streaming service to not abandon in-app purchases. In the run up to Netflix removing its subscription offering to avoid Apple's fees, a presentation circulated within Apple proposed to advertise Netflix in its retail stores, use a portion of its cut of App Store commission fees to pay for search ads, and even bundle Netflix with other Apple services. The emails, spotted by 9to5Mac, start with an explanation of a test Netflix wanted to run to study the impact of disabling in-app purchases on iOS. Netflix's main concern, as Director of App Store Business Management Carson Oliver... |
| Epic v. Apple turns into Windows v. Xbox Posted: 05 May 2021 06:03 PM PDT  Is an iPhone more like a PC or an Xbox? That question was asked — implicitly and explicitly — over and over on the third day of Epic v. Apple testimony. The antitrust trial started on Monday with some heady pronunciations about Fortnite, the game and/or metaverse at the heart of the case. Yesterday, both sides argued about whether iPhones and iPads were truly locked down. And today, Apple and Epic delved into one of the biggest questions of the trial: whether saying iOS violates antitrust law would make every major game console an unlawful monopoly too. Apple's attorneys issued a dire warning to Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft during its opening statement, saying that their business... |
| Google ‘arguably violated’ labor law by illegally firing three workers claims NLRB Posted: 05 May 2021 05:36 PM PDT  The acting head of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said Google "arguably violated" US labor law by illegally firing three workers in 2019 amid their organizing activities, Bloomberg reports. On Wednesday, the NLRB reversed an earlier decision which had dismissed claims from Sophie Waldman, Rebecca Rivers, and Paul Duke that Google had retaliated against them for labor activism. The NLRB's general counsel's office has already accused Google of unlawfully terminating former Google workers Laurence Berland and Kathryn Spiers. Now, acting general counsel Peter Sung Ohr has asked that the complaint be amended to include Waldman, Rivers, and Duke. Google claims that four... |
| SpaceX successfully landed a Starship prototype for the first time Posted: 05 May 2021 05:24 PM PDT  SpaceX launched a high-altitude Starship prototype rocket and successfully landed it for the first time on Wednesday, overcoming a key challenge in Elon Musk's whirlwind quest to build a fully reusable Mars rocket. Musk has said the SN15 rocket contained "hundreds of design improvements" over past high-altitude prototypes, which were all destroyed during explosive landing attempts. Starship SN15 lifted off at 6:24PM ET from SpaceX's Boca Chica, Texas facilities, soaring more than 6 miles in the sky to test in-flight maneuvers. As it reached peak altitude, SN15's three Raptor engines gradually shut down to begin a horizontal free-fall back to Earth. Nearing land, two engines reignited to execute a complex "landing flip maneuver," where... |
| A photographer says she was asked to work for Netflix’s Love is Blind — without any pay Posted: 05 May 2021 04:47 PM PDT  Getting asked to shoot five weddings for a massively popular Netflix show might seem like a dream opportunity, but according to photographer Megan Saul, the show's producers weren't planing on paying for it. In a Facebook post on May 4th, she says she was contacted by Kinetic Content (the company producing Love Is Blind for Netflix) about working with them on the show, but was told in a follow-up email that, instead of money, the company was offering the opportunity for her work to appear in promotional materials and magazines (via PetaPixel). In her post Saul says that getting the email was "super exciting for all of 20 minutes," until she found out that she was being asked to basically donate her time and expertise. She called the... |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 03:20 PM PDT  The young attractive royal couple that is not Harry and Meghan has dropped a truly chaotic intro video for their shiny new official YouTube channel. In the video, the presumed future queen and king of the United Kingdom (also known as Kate Middleton and Kate Middleton's husband) laugh and chat awkwardly in what looks like their home. It's well-lit but not too well-lit: a reasonably good YouTuber rig but not exactly one of royal magnificence. "Be careful what you're saying, these guys are going to start filming," says Prince William to his smiling wife, as though she doesn't know how cameras work. The general feel of the clip is the first few seconds after a camera starts rolling but before the YouTube stars start vlogging in earnest.... |
| Nintendo’s next big Switch title is aimed at budding game designers Posted: 05 May 2021 03:05 PM PDT  Nintendo's next game for the Switch is one you build yourself. Today the company revealed Game Builder Garage, a new software title that's designed to teach beginners the basics of programming and game design. It utilizes visual programming, has pre-built lessons and games, and will be launching on the Switch next month. Game Builder Garage appears to build off of some of the ideas featured in past Nintendo projects, like the DIY series of Labo experiences and Super Mario Maker. The core of the experience is a playful, visual programming language that utilizes cute characters called Nodon that you can move around and assign properties to. For instance, once you insert a character node, you can attach a "stick" node and assign the... |
| US supports lifting patent protections on COVID-19 vaccines Posted: 05 May 2021 02:20 PM PDT  The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it supported waiving patent protections on COVID-19 vaccines, calling the pandemic a "global health crisis." "This is a global health crisis, and the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures. The Administration believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines," United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai said in a statement. Waiving those protections would theoretically let countries and organizations manufacture patented vaccines without facing repercussions. But they would need to have the expertise and materials on hand to... |
| Twitter is ruining the open for a surprise meme with better image crops Posted: 05 May 2021 01:29 PM PDT  Twitter is finally rolling out a long-awaited feature: bigger images that don't crop in so darn much. Now, image previews should show way more of the image, giving you a better idea of what you're actually looking at, and avoiding embarrassing situations where Twitter's cropping algorithm picks the absolute wrong thing to focus on (sometimes with apparent racial bias). Twitter announced it would be testing the improvement on iOS and Android back in March, and it should now be making its way to everyone.
Those pictures should also be clearer, given Twitter's... |
| A bug in Peloton’s API may have exposed a whole lot of user data Posted: 05 May 2021 12:30 PM PDT  An old version of Peloton's API, the software that allows the company's bikes and recalled treadmills to communicate with its servers, may have exposed private customer profiles, according to a report from TechCrunch. The bug was first spotted by Jan Masters, a security researcher at Pen Test Partners, and reported to Peloton on January 20th, but the company is only just now confirming that the bug has been fixed. Using Peloton's API, Masters was able to scrape all sorts of customer information that would typically be private, depending on the individual user's settings. That includes customer profiles, which can potentially feature their age, location, birthday, and workout history. All Masters had to do was make an unauthenticated... |
