Former Apple employee Cher Scarlett says the company didn't adequately live up to its half of a settlement, so she won't withdraw her complaint to the National Labor Relations Board as agreed, according to Forbes.

Scarlett says that her settlement with Apple required it to post "a company-wide memo clarifying employee rights including discussing pay & working conditions," "in a prominent and visible location on the People site." She says that the company did post a notice to its site, but that it was only up during the week that Apple employees were given off for Thanksgiving. "I'd argue all day that 7 days while no one is online for a holiday is absolutely not prominent and visible," Scarlett tweeted on Thursday.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has provided an explanation as to what caused the outage that downed parts of its own services, as well as the third-party websites and online platforms that utilize AWS. In a post on the AWS website, the company explains that an automated process caused the outage, which began around 10:30AM ET in the Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1) region.

"An automated activity to scale capacity of one of the AWS services hosted in the main AWS network triggered an unexpected behavior from a large number of clients inside the internal network," Amazon's report says. "This resulted in a large surge of connection activity...

Apple’s app tracking transparency feature isn’t an instant privacy button

A report from the Financial Times acts as a reminder of what Apple's App Tracking Transparency settings do and do not do to protect your privacy (via Ars Technica). While asking apps to not track you does keep them from collecting and selling data tied to your personal advertising identity, it doesn't keep developers from collecting any information about you at all.

The feature, introduced in iOS 14.5, is meant to prevent app-makers from tracking what you do and selling that information to advertisers. Companies like Facebook cried foul when it was introduced, saying that it would hurt their ability to show targeted, personalized ads, and therefore hurt businesses that relied on those ads.

An Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois collapsed following a bout of severe weather and tornados that ripped across the Midwest and South on Friday night. According to a report from Reuters, at least two deaths have been confirmed, and a number of workers are still unaccounted for.

A post on Illinois' Collinsville Emergency Management Agency's Facebook page called the collapse a "mass casualty" incident. It later posted an update with a photo of the event's aftermath, showing a large portion of the warehouse completely torn away by the storm.

By now, you've probably heard of NFTs enough to have an opinion about them, and, as it turns out, so has Keanu Reeves.

In our interview with him and fellow The Matrix icon Carrie-Ann Moss, Alex Heath asked the actors about their feelings on cryptocurrency, NFT collectibles, and the concept of digital scarcity. Keanu — described in this 2019 Vox profile of his Keanaissance as a "relatable geek" — had, of course, a relatable response (tweeted earlier by David Zhou).

He laughed.

And not just a little either, as the idea of digital trinkets conveying ownership even...

Microsoft is sponsoring an esports competition with prizes totaling $10,000. The game? Well, it's not exactly a game — it's Microsoft Excel.

The qualifying rounds already took place, leaving just eight Excel masters to compete for the FMWC crown.

This morning, space tourism venture Blue Shepard successfully launched its third crew of passengers to space and back on the company's New Shepard rocket, the first time a group of six people has flown together on the vehicle. The crew included GMA host Michael Strahan and Laura Shepard Churchley, the eldest daughter of Alan Shepard — the first American in space and the namesake for the New Shepard rocket.

New Shepard lifted off just after 10AM ET on Saturday morning from Blue Origin's launch facility in Van Horn, Texas. The entire flight lasted just over 10 minutes from liftoff to touch down. Riding inside a crew capsule on top of the New Shepard rocket, the six-person crew climbed to an altitude of 351,225 feet, or more than 66 miles...

Apple’s Invasion feels like the first chapter of a sci-fi epic

Posted: 11 Dec 2021 07:00 AM PST

The first season of Invasion on Apple TV Plus feels a little incomplete. Across its 10 episodes, which chart a handful of humans grappling with an alien invasion, the story slowly teases out the reality of what's happening. There are hints here and there — a haunting artificial voice, a mysterious alien-killing weapon, a kid with seizures that may or may not show the future — but the biggest reveal of all doesn't even happen until the very last shot in the final episode. It still managed to pull me in — but that pull has a lot to do with potential. Rather than standing on its own, the initial season of Invasion feels like the first chapter of a much grander science fiction epic.

Invasion gets off to a slow start. Unlike most stories...
