After Math: Risky businesses | Engadget
[ad_1] Nothing lasts forever, especially operating systems. It’s been barely a decade since Windows 7 hit our hard drives but Microsoft is well and truly done with supporting the OS any longer. Apparently nobody told the German government because they now have to pay nearly $900k in support fees because some 33,000 of its computers […]
Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Buds+ leak together in official-looking shots
[ad_1] Apart from the cameras (including a 108-megapixel shooter on the Ultra), the Galaxy S20 range is expected to be a more evolutionary upgrade with speedier Snapdragon 865 processors in some countries, up to 16GB of RAM and 120Hz displays. The Galaxy Buds+, meanwhile, would have much-improved battery life and call quality without changing the […]
India is now a larger smartphone market than the US
[ad_1] This isn’t to say non-Chinese brands fared poorly, but the results were mixed. Apple grew quickly at the end of 2019 thanks to iPhone XR price cuts and the debut of the iPhone 11. Samsung, however, saw flat results at the same period and ultimately declined five percent in 2019. It’s not shocking that […]
Jeff Bezos’ leaked text messages may have come from his girlfriend
[ad_1] Enquirer owner American Media maintained in a statement that Michael Sanchez provided “all materials,” and rejected longstanding assertions that Saudi Arabia was involved. Michael himself wouldn’t answer questions and instead accused the WSJ of “spoon-fed lies and half-truths,” while Saudi Arabia has repeatedly denied involvement. While exposing the alleged blackmail, Bezos provided emails showing […]
Marvel axes two of its Hulu animated shows
[ad_1] The shift comes as Marvel unifies work on its movie and TV projects under one larger Marvel Studios team headed up by Kevin Feige. Whatever the exact reasons, the move suggests that Marvel (and really, Disney at large) is adjusting its broader streaming strategy. It’s putting most of its energy into Disney+ shows, to […]
Porsche’s first Super Bowl ad in 23 years is for the electric Taycan
[ad_1] The ad isn’t terribly complicated. It starts with what appears to be a thief stealing the Taycan from Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart, and quickly evolves into a Hollywood-style chase with several more conventional cars (plus one tractor) in pursuit. While Porsche doesn’t talk much about the Taycan, there’s no question it’s the star. The […]
‘Uncharted’ movie delayed to March 5th, 2021
[ad_1] There are signs of progress. Zombieland‘s Ruben Fleischer is the top pick to replace Knight, according to Deadline, while the cast (led by Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg) appears to be settling. And the screenplay comes from fairly safe sources, including Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Rafe Judkins and the Iron Man duo of Art Marcum […]
Apple gets its WiLan patent payout reduced to $85.2 million
[ad_1] We’ve asked Apple for comment. WiLan had argued that many Apple products, including iPhones ranging from the 6 to the 7 Plus, had been using voice over LTE technology covered by two patents. It’s a rare instance of WiLan declaring victory over Apple. The Canadian “patent monetization” company (read: patent troll) has largely been […]
Senator calls on Tesla to make Autopilot safety changes
[ad_1] The senator also wanted Tesla to implement “backup monitoring systems” beyond the steering wheel torque monitor that checks for hands on the wheel. That would keep at least one system checking for driver attentiveness, and might reduce the chances of someone tricking Autopilot into staying active. At present, Autopilot will warn you if your […]
