| New trailers: Dune, Star Trek: Prodigy, The Last Duel, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and more Posted: 24 Jul 2021 02:17 PM PDT  Happy Saturday! Posting the trailers roundup a day early this weekend since I'll be on vacation starting Sunday (and shout out to the reader who said he preferred when we did the roundup on Saturdays, you got your wish at least for this weekend). The internet (or at least the little corner I inhabit) seemed divided into camps this week: people who really like the Apple TV Plus show Ted Lasso and people who... don't. It's OK to not like things! I had a longer rant prepared about how the effort to look cool online seems so exhausting but really, who cares, Ted Lasso has returned for season two and it's still a lovely, warm-hearted show about a bunch of very likeable weirdos. We ended up with a very sci-fi themed roundup this week which... |
| Robinhood’s IPO roadshow answered questions I wasn’t asking Posted: 24 Jul 2021 01:39 PM PDT  "What's your favorite planet?" is a real question that Robinhood execs really picked to answer during the Q&A section of its retail investor roadshow. "Definitely Pluto," says long-haired CEO Vlad Tenev. He is having a good time. He goes on to explain that there will be a great view of Venus tonight after sunset. Many of the questions the management picked have been lackluster; asked if Robinhood will add a customer support line, Tenev cheerily explains there already is one. Another question is wasted on whether the stock will pay dividends — anyone who read the prospectus knows the answer is no. I am watching this roadshow — my first, and the first, I suspect, of many who are watching — because Robinhood plans to sell... |
| GM, Cruise suing to stop Ford from using the name ‘BlueCruise’ Posted: 24 Jul 2021 09:58 AM PDT  General Motors has filed a lawsuit to try to prevent Ford from using the name "BlueCruise" for the hands-free driving feature it announced earlier this year. First reported by the Detroit Free Press, GM claims the name is too close Super Cruise, the name of is own hands-free driving technology introduced in 2017, and to its autonomous vehicle subsidiary Cruise. GM is suing Ford for trademark infringement and unspecified damages. In the lawsuit filed Friday, GM said in that the companies had been involved in "protracted discussions" over the name but were unable to resolve the matter. "Ford knew exactly what it was doing," GM alleges in its complaint, adding that if Ford "wanted to adopt a new, unique brand, it easily could have done so... |
| New job posting shows Amazon seeking a digital currency and blockchain expert Posted: 24 Jul 2021 08:24 AM PDT  Amazon is hiring a digital currency and blockchain product lead for its payments team, according to a new job listing. First reported by Insider, the ecommerce giant is looking for an "experienced product leader to develop Amazon's Digital Currency and Blockchain strategy and product roadmap." The listing, which Amazon has confirmed is legitimate, continues:
Amazon.com doesn't accept cryptocurrency as payment, but a spokesperson told Insider... |

| The Senate’s E-BIKE Act could make electric bikes a lot cheaper Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:00 AM PDT  A bill that would offer Americans a refundable tax credit on the purchase of a new electric bicycle was just introduced in the Senate by Ed Markey (D-MA) and Brian Schatz (D-HI). The bill is called the Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment, or E-BIKE Act for short, and it's the companion bill to one introduced in the House of Representatives earlier this year. E-bikes are more expensive than normal bikes, typically costing anywhere from $1,000 to $8,000 for some of the more high-end models. But they also have the potential to replace car trips for a lot of people, with a recent study finding that if 15 percent of car trips were made by e-bike, carbon emissions would drop by 12 percent. |
| Blizzard exec calls sexual harassment allegations ‘extremely troubling’ Posted: 24 Jul 2021 06:55 AM PDT  The president of Blizzard Entertainment sent an email to staff calling allegations of sexual harassment at the company "extremely troubling." First reported by Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, J. Allen Brack wrote that "the fight for equality is incredibly important to me," and that he has spent his career fighting against "bro culture." The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) filed suit against Blizzard and owner Activision Blizzard on Tuesday, alleging a culture of "constant sexual harassment" existed at the company. The complaint describes a "frat boy culture" that included male employees drinking and sexually harassing female employees without repercussions. Brack is named in the complaint as being one of the... |
| Super Mario 64 probably won’t be the last million-dollar video game Posted: 24 Jul 2021 06:00 AM PDT  Earlier this month, a sealed copy of Super Mario 64 sold for $1,560,000 at auction, a staggering price that nearly doubled a record set just two days before by a similarly pristine copy of The Legend of Zelda. The auctions could mark just the beginning of even more eye-poppingly large video game sales. It seems very likely that Mario's first 3D adventure won't be the last game to command a million-dollar sum. "I think we'll see more million dollar games, probably sooner rather than later," Chris Kohler, editorial director at Digital Eclipse, a developer that works on rereleases of classic video games, tells The Verge. Collecting and selling stuff — both physical and virtual — for... |
| The Apple Watch Series 6 is $279 at Best Buy and Amazon Posted: 24 Jul 2021 05:14 AM PDT  The best deal available today is on the 40mm Apple Watch Series 6 with Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity. Usually $399, it's just $279 at Best Buy through Saturday, July 24th. Amazon is honoring this deal, too, even going a bit lower with a $265 price (though, act fast as Amazon's stock tends to sell out faster than Best Buy's). The thing is, this price cut is limited to the Product Red colorway that has a red aluminum case and a red sport band. This is great news for people who can't get enough of the color red in their lives, but it's probably not most people's first choice in terms of how they'd like their Apple Watch to look. It's hard to argue with the price, though. We've seen it sell for $20 less than this, but not since late in April. R... |
