Facebook has fired back nearly two weeks after The Wall Street Journal reported that Instagram made body image issues worse for one in three teenage girls according to Facebook's own data. The salvo comes courtesy of Pratiti Raychoudhury, Vice President, Head of Research at Facebook. Raychoudhury's post on Facebook's Newsroom claims that The Wall Street Journal's characterization of internal research is "not accurate" and blames it all on a poor interpretation of the data the WSJ has in its possession.

On September 14 The Wall Street Journal published a story to The Facebook Files, which is a series of stories based around an enormous cache of internal Facebook documents leaked to the newspaper. The September 14 piece focused on data...

Reuters and the CBC first reported that Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou would appear in a Brooklyn federal courtroom today via streaming video and enter a plea regarding US charges against her. Canadian authorities arrested the Chinese executive in December 2018 on suspicion of violating US sanctions, and she has remained there on house arrest ever since, fighting US attempts at extradition. Hearings in her extradition case ended in August, with the ruling scheduled for October 21st.

Meng was indicted on fraud charges claiming the Chinese technology and telecommunications company misrepresented its relationship with an Iranian affiliate, along with accusations it stole intellectual property from T-Mobile. The 13-count indictment named Meng,...

New Trailers: The Tragedy of Macbeth, Invasion, Spencer, and more

Denzel Washington stars in The Tragedy of Macbeth | Apple TV

We're nearing the season finale of Ted Lasso (only two more new episodes!), and it seems like the show's got a lot of story threads that need to be knitted together after episode 10. Titled No Weddings and a Funeral, episode 10 was solid, but I didn't quite love it. I'm trying to write about the episode without spoiling it, let's just say I didn't love how the session between Ted and Sharon which we've been waiting for all season was edited together with Rebecca's retelling of a traumatic event with her own father. Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham were both so great, but editing the scenes together kind of killed the dramatic momentum. But! New plot twists suggest a cliffhanger of a season finale is coming in two weeks' time. I'm...

Apple says it has identified an issue where the "unlock with Apple Watch" feature might not work with its new iPhone 13 devices. A new note on its support page describes the problem:

You might see "Unable to Communicate with Apple Watch" if you try to unlock your iPhone while wearing a face mask, or you might not be able to set up Unlock with Apple Watch.

On Friday, users on the r/AppleWatch Reddit board began reporting that they were seeing this problem, and some said they were able to use the Watch unlock feature with other iPhone models, including the iPhone 11 Max.

Apple introduced the ability to unlock an iPhone that uses Face ID with a paired Apple Watch earlier this year with the release of iOS 14.5. It comes in handy during a...

Despite the head of the National Transportation Safety Board expressing serious concerns about its safety last week, Tesla has now enabled access to the beta of its "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) program to more Tesla drivers, via a "request" button on Teslas' dashboard screens. However, before a driver gets access to the software, Tesla will determine their "safety score," using five criteria that estimate "the likelihood that your driving could result in a future collision," according to a page on Tesla's website.

The score is tabulated using data collected by sensors on the driver's Tesla, and considers instances of forward collision warnings per 1,000 miles, hard braking, aggressive turning, unsafe following, and forced Autopilot...

Future Wife is a wedding, a play, and the weirdest thing I’ve done in Google Sheets

Posted: 26 Sep 2021 06:00 AM PDT

The pandemic has led to a collection of unusual digital experiences, from Google Forms escape rooms to whole virtual, two-dimensional comedy shows. But the interactive digital play / upstate barn wedding I attended last Friday, Future Wife: Party in a Spreadsheet, takes things to a strange new level. The show, co-created by playwright ruth tang and director Sarah Blush, and put on by a cast of game collaborators and theater company New Georges, manages to be playful, confounding, and surprisingly, a little touching. Basically all the things Google Sheets never are.

It's difficult to describe Party in a Spreadsheet in a way that makes sense. There are communist goats, alien activists, several themed islands, and an anonymous audience...
