Bitcoin Conference Draws Cryptocurrency Fans To Miami

Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey, a noted superfan of Bitcoin, claimed on Monday that the cryptocurrency will eventually unite the world. Yes, really.

On Monday afternoon, an amendment to the Senate's infrastructure package that would have expanded the government's involvement in cryptocurrency was blocked. Shortly after that, Dorsey tweeted that "#Bitcoin will unite a deeply divided country. (and eventually: world)."

Dorsey didn't specify which country, but given that he's been tweeting a lot about the amendment since it failed, it seems likely he's talking about the US. He hasn't yet explained further.

This isn't the first time...

A new Lamborghini Countach is coming, and it might be a hybrid

The official announcement that "the new Lamborghini Countach is coming" aims directly at anyone who had a picture of the iconic sports car on their wall as a kid. With a body covered in angles and show-stopping gull-wing doors, it was the perfect dream car for anyone who didn't have a driver's license or plans to back out of a parking space.

And now the Countach is back, or at least it will be at some point in the future. On its website and in a teaser video, Lamborghini says "the future is our legacy" — whatever that means. While we're not anticipating a full EV from Lamborghini until after 2025, Roadshow points out leaks revealing that this revived model will...

Twitch will give streamers a bit more info on why they were banned

Twitch's suspensions are about to get a little clearer for streamers: starting on Monday, the company announced that it will include the name and date of the content that violated platform rules when it issues a ban.

It's not quite a clear and simple explanation of what precisely a streamer might have done to get a suspension — Twitch doesn't seem to be willing to provide that level of detail on any violations of its policies — but it could potentially help streamers figure out what they did wrong and what to avoid in the future.

With the Olympics over, Peacock needs to figure out what’s next

It's been a rocky couple of weeks for Peacock. NBC positioned its streaming service as the place to go if you wanted to stream the Olympics without a cable subscription — something that should have been an easy win for the upstart platform. Instead, Peacock's coverage was wonky and confusing, and the service hasn't given viewers much of a reason to stick around after the Games. With its biggest draw behind it and little in the way of internet-breaking titles headed to the platform anytime soon, it's unclear what comes next for NBCUniversal's biggest streaming bet.

Peacock had 54 million sign-ups and 20 million-plus active accounts as of the end of July, just over a year after launch, parent company Comcast said during its second-quarter...

Google’s new Titan security key lineup won’t make you choose between USB-C and NFC

Google announced updates to its Titan security key lineup on Monday, simplifying it by removing a product and bringing NFC to all its keys. The company will now offer two options: one has a USB-A connector, one has USB-C, and both have NFC for connecting to "most mobile devices." The USB-A key will cost $30, and the USB-C key will cost $35 when they go on sale on August 10th.

One of the biggest changes in Google's new lineup is an updated USB-C key, which has added NFC support. Google's previous USB-C option, made in collaboration with Yubico, didn't support the wireless standard. Now, the choice between USB-C and A is easy, as there aren't features that one has that the other doesn't. It's simply a matter of what ports your computer...

The next season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is premiering on Netflix in December

The next season of the hit anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure will premiere exclusively on Netflix in December, the company announced on Monday. The premiere month announcement arrives alongside a new trailer for the season, which is officially titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean.

The season follows a woman named Jolyne Cujoh, who is sentenced to 15 years at a maximum security prison for a crime she claims she is innocent of. I won't try to summarize everything else that happens in the wild-looking trailer — I've never seen the show or read the manga myself, so I just can't do it justice.

Stone Ocean is the latest in Netflix's growing anime slate. Sailor Moon's latest movie hit the streaming service in June, and that same month, the...

Sony completes acquisition of Crunchyroll from AT&T

Posted: 09 Aug 2021 02:10 PM PDT

Sony officially owns AT&T's Crunchyroll.

Sony's deal to acquire Crunchyroll was first announced in December 2020 and sees Crunchyroll join Funimation, Sony's existing anime streaming property, under one roof. The ultimate goal of the unification of the two anime properties under a single roof is to develop "a unified anime subscription experience as soon as possible," said Tony Vinciquerra, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, in a statement.

The deal is priced at $1.175 billion, and AT&T — which had been reported by The Information to be shopping the service around for $1.5 billion — will use the funds to help pay down the debt it amassed from its spending on streaming. In a radical shift away from its streaming strategy,...

SpaceX to acquire small satellite startup Swarm Technologies

Elon Musk's SpaceX is acquiring the small-satellite data provider Swarm Technologies, scooping up the startup's roughly 30 employees and its network of 120 tiny satellites. The deal, struck last month, is extremely rare for SpaceX, which normally manufactures its rocket and satellite hardware in-house or hires subcontractors.

Swarm revealed the acquisition plans in an August 6th filing with the Federal Communications Commission that requested approval to shift ownership of its satellite and antenna licenses to SpaceX. The merger agreement, in which Swarm will become a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of SpaceX, was inked on July 16th, the filing said.
