| China successfully launches three astronauts to new space station Posted: 16 Jun 2021 06:48 PM PDT  A Long March rocket blasted off from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center today, carrying three astronauts to China's new space station. The launch marks China's first crewed mission in five years. The launch of the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft took place at 9:22AM local time on Thursday morning. The three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo, will be the first three people to board China's space station, Tianhe. They will stay on Tianhe for three months, bringing the space station online. The core module of Tianhe, which contains the crew's living quarters, was launched in April 2021. This first crewed mission is part of eleven planned missions during the space station's construction phase — two more modules and several... |
| Is Facebook cornering the VR market? Posted: 16 Jun 2021 06:12 PM PDT  Imagine that, over the past year, Facebook had managed to acquire the battle royale game Fortnite, the kid-focused game creation engine Roblox, and the best-selling game of 2020, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. For many reasons, such a spree of acquisitions would never happen. One of the biggest is that antitrust scrutiny has made it increasingly difficult for Facebook to acquire anything that resembles a social network. It was more than a year ago that the company bought the moribund GIF search engine Giphy, which had few prospects for success as a standalone company; the United Kingdom's competition watchdog has so far blocked the deal from closing, warning the acquisition would somehow harm Facebook's competitors. And yet if you... |
| Amazon pulls an Apple by reducing its app store cut for some smaller developers Posted: 16 Jun 2021 05:28 PM PDT  Amazon has decided it would really like to attract more developers to its Android and Fire OS app store, so it's following in the the footsteps of Apple (and Google) by announcing a new "Amazon Appstore Small Business Accelerator Program" that takes less money out of developer's pockets (via AFTVNews). But where Apple and Google reduce their cut of a developer's first $1 million in revenue from 30 percent down to 15 percent, Amazon's formula has a slight tweak: it'll take a higher 20 percent of revenue, but give developers an additional 10 percent in "AWS promotional credits." The idea is that if your app is using Amazon's popular AWS cloud services anyhow, it'll be equivalent to you keeping 90 percent of the money. And if you happen to... |
| Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella now doubles as the company’s chairman Posted: 16 Jun 2021 04:44 PM PDT  On February 4th, 2014, Microsoft found its new CEO in the cloud — Azure boss Satya Nadella took the top job, Steve Ballmer retired, and Bill Gates stepped down as chairman. Now, after growing Microsoft to become one of the most valuable companies in the world yet again, Nadella has now been unanimously elected chairman of the Microsoft board. It's the first time in two decades that Microsoft's chairman will also be its CEO, after Bill Gates originally stepped down as CEO in 2000 (Gates left the Microsoft board entirely in 2020), and it's a testament to how much Nadella is now trusted to lead the company forward. When Gates stepped down as chairman in 2014, the board elected independent chairman John Thompson, who'd previously been CEO... |

| Workhorse starts federal court fight over lost USPS contract Posted: 16 Jun 2021 03:09 PM PDT  EV startup Workhorse has filed an official protest after losing the bid to make the United States Postal Service's next-generation mail vehicle in February, a contract that could ultimately be worth some $6 billion. The USPS instead gave that contract to defense contractor Oshkosh. The Ohio-based company filed a bid protest in the US Court of Federal Claims on Wednesday. The complaint is currently sealed, though a judge could ultimately rule to make some parts of it public, as Workhorse also filed a redacted version of the complaint that could be made public. The bid protest kicks off a high-profile court fight over the contract for the next-generation mail truck, and could have an impact on how and when those vehicles switch over to... |
| How to find the best deals during Prime Day 2021 Posted: 16 Jun 2021 03:07 PM PDT  Outside of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Prime Day has become one of the biggest shopping events of the year. It's a two-day stretch wherein Amazon Prime members will likely find some of the best prices yet on popular tech products like video games, gaming peripherals, laptops, 4K TVs, phones, PC accessories, and more. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed Prime Day 2020 from July to October, but Prime Day 2021 is back on a somewhat normal schedule, happening on Monday, June 21st, and Tuesday, June 22nd. If you're shopping for Prime Day deals on Amazon, you'll need to sign up for Amazon Prime, however, not all of the best Prime Day 2021 deals will live on Amazon. Many other retailers, including Walmart and Target, will also be running competing... |

| Senate bill would make it easier to cancel a subscription online after a free trial Posted: 16 Jun 2021 01:27 PM PDT  A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill Wednesday that would make it easier for people to cancel online subscriptions after a free trial period has ended. Sens. Brian Schatz (D-HI), John Thune (R-SD), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), and John Kennedy (R-LA) say the Unsubscribe Act would require companies to be more transparent about their subscriptions. "The subscription-based business model is exploding, and it's largely because of the deceptive practices that some companies use to lure and trap in customers," Schatz said in a statement. "When people sign up for a free trial, they shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to cancel their subscription before being charged." The bill addresses what's known as "negative option billing,"... |
