| That ‘real’ Disney lightsaber? You’ll never get to touch it Posted: 17 Nov 2021 05:22 PM PST  I have some terrible news: Disney has confirmed you'll never get to try the "real" retractable lightsaber whose very existence, subsequent reveal, and patented design made us giddy back in April and May of this year. While the incredible disappearing lightsaber replica will indeed feature at Disney's new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel — a Westworld-esque experience for the very wealthy where stays cost upwards of $4,800 and yet is already sold out for its first four months — GameSpot and IGN report that Disney won't be letting you touch that lightsaber for yourself. "Unfortunately, that lightsaber isn't for guests to use or purchase. It's strictly for use by the performers," writes IGN. "Trowbridge confirmed in a group interview... |
| Apple pay equity and harassment organizer will leave the company after reaching a settlement Posted: 17 Nov 2021 04:45 PM PST  Cher Scarlett, an Apple engineer who helped organize pay equity surveys and anti-harassment / discrimination campaigns at the company, will be leaving the company and requesting the withdrawal of a complaint she made to the National Labor Relations Board (or NLRB), according to a report from Bloomberg. The software engineer announced on Twitter that Friday would be her last day at Apple. Scarlett's lawyers told The Verge that she had reached a private settlement with the company, but she declined to provide details about the terms when asked by Bloomberg. Scarlett is leaving voluntarily, according to Bloomberg, unlike some other organizers who were fired from the company after speaking out. During her time at Apple, she was reportedly... |
| Streamlabs will drop ‘OBS’ name after getting called out by open-source app Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:53 PM PST  Streamlabs has promised to remove "OBS" from the name of its livestreaming software, Streamlabs OBS, following backlash from streamers and the open-source livestreaming platform OBS Studio. OBS Studio says it asked Streamlabs not to use its name, which stands for "Open Broadcaster Software," only to have the company do so anyway. Streamlabs has also been accused of copying the website of another broadcasting software, with all the drama hashed out on Twitter. The controversy started when Lightstream, another livestreaming app maker, tweeted out screenshots of its website right beside Streamlabs', saying, "Hey, can I copy your homework?" suggesting that Streamlabs copied Lightstream. Stu Grubbs, the CEO of Lightstream, later retweeted the... |
| Rittenhouse defense requests a mistrial after iPhone Mail app compresses key video evidence Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:30 PM PST  The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin has once again gone off track because of basic technology problems: Rittenhouse's defense attorneys today requested a mistrial because prosecutors sent them a drone video via email, which compressed the video in size. This is after earlier arguments about what pinch-to-zoom does or does not do, and the judge struggling with the screenshot features on his Galaxy S20. Rittenhouse faces five felony charges for shooting three men and killing two of them last year during a protest in Kenosha. CNN reports the motion for a mistrial is focused on when and how defense attorneys received a copy of a drone video showing the shootings that was shown to the jury in open court. Rittenhouse's lawyers say... |
| Barbie EV mockup debuts, and on an unrelated note, Mattel’s stock is up Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:22 PM PST  Here are some facts. Mattel promoted a new toy Barbie car on Wednesday by showing off a full-size mockup at the 2021 LA Auto Show. The mockup was, according to Roadshow, based on an all-electric Fiat 500e. Not long after, Mattel's stock pared back early-morning losses and finished the day's trading slightly in the green. Now, are those things related? Probably not. But weirder things have happened, especially lately. Hertz announced a deal with Tesla and hired Tom Brady to make commercials, and then Elon Musk said the deal wasn't done. Rivian passed every automaker in market cap except for Toyota and Tesla despite only shipping a few electric pickup trucks. Startups like Faraday Future, Canoo, and Lordstown Motors have collectively... |
| Crypto collective raises $27 million to bid for rare copy of US Constitution Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:17 PM PST  Say you want to buy an early printing of the US Constitution, but you've only got a couple of bucks. Normally, you'd be out of luck, but maybe not today: over the last week, a collective has formed to raise enough money to buy a rare early printing of the Constitution at auction, raising money from anyone who wants to chip in online. The document is expected to sell at Sotheby's for as high as $20 million — what would seem to be an insurmountable price for a crowdfunding initiative. And yet, somehow, the collective has raised $27 million to date. And they still have more than 24 hours to go. There's a lot going on here, so I'm just going to break it down piece by piece:

| HaptX says Meta copied its patented design for haptic glove Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:04 PM PST  Haptics company HaptX claims Meta (formerly Facebook) copied its patented designs in a glove that the tech giant revealed yesterday. HaptX — a longtime player in the virtual and augmented reality industry — says parts of the glove appear "substantively identical" to its own work using pneumatics to simulate physical touch. "We welcome interest and competition in the field of microfluidic haptics; however, competition must be fair for the industry to thrive," said HaptX founder and CEO Jake Rubin in a statement. "While we have not yet heard from Meta, we look forward to working with them to reach a fair and equitable arrangement that addresses our concerns and enables them to incorporate our innovative technology into their future... |
| Instagram to shut down Threads as Meta consolidates its messaging platforms Posted: 17 Nov 2021 01:36 PM PST  Instagram's standalone messaging service Threads will cease to exist by the end of 2021, Meta has confirmed to TechCrunch. The app will display a notice prompting users to return to Instagram starting November 23rd. Threads was a similar idea to Facebook Messenger — it allowed users to send and receive Instagram DMs in a dedicated messaging interface outside of the main app. It had a collection of quirky features, including automatic statuses that the app could set for you based on what your phone was doing. All of those tools will be available in Instagram itself by the time Threads shuts down, the company said in a statement to TechCrunch. Meta... |
| PlayStation boss reportedly calls out Activision Blizzard in staff memo Posted: 17 Nov 2021 12:33 PM PST  PlayStation leadership has asked Activision Blizzard how it will address the allegations in the shocking Wall Street Journal report about the embattled studio, according to Bloomberg. PlayStation boss Jim Ryan reportedly informed employees of the action in an email. "We outreached to Activision immediately after the article was published to express our deep concern and to ask how they plan to address the claims made in the article," Ryan wrote, reports Bloomberg. "We do not believe their statements of response properly address the situation." Activision Blizzard and Sony didn't immediately reply to a request for comment. We've asked Microsoft and Nintendo if they have communicated concerns to Activision Blizzard. |
