Microbes found in Earth’s deep ocean might grow on Saturn’s moon Enceladus
Some very resilient Earth microbes might be able to thrive in the hidden ocean of Enceladus — the icy moon of Saturn that has become a prime candidate in the search for extraterrestrial life. Scientists have successfully cultivated a few of these tiny organisms in the lab under the same conditions that are thought to exist on the distant moon, opening up the possibility that life might be lurking under the world’s surface.
Enceladus is one of the most intriguing places in the Solar System since it has many crucial ingredients needed for life to thrive. For one, it has lots of water. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft — which explored the Saturn system from 2004 to 2017 — found that plumes of gas and particles erupt from the south pole of...

Currently, Apple has one Wellness Center in its headquarters in Cupertino that employs a handful of doctors, chiropractors, dietitians, and physical therapists.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 700 series processors offer a compromise between price and power
Qualcomm has announced a new series of Snapdragon processors at Mobile World Congress 2018, the Snapdragon 700 line. As the name suggests, the new series of chips is designed to sit between the Snapdragon 600 series — typically found in mid-range devices — and the company’s top of the line 800 series chips (which includes the current flagship Snapdragon 845 processor found in devices like the Galaxy S9.)
The 700 series is designed as a compromise between the two, offering more premium features on cheaper devices that aren’t necessarily as pricey as today’s top Android flagships. “The Snapdragon 700 Mobile Platform Series will bring premium tier technologies and features into more affordable devices,” says Alex Katouzian, a senior vice...

Ford is bringing its self-driving cars to Miami
Ford is bringing its fleet of self-driving cars to the neon-splashed streets of Miami to test out its future commercial plans for robot cars, which include ride-hailing and deliveries, the automaker announced today.
With a pipe organ-style suit of sensors on the roof and the Spanish word for “research” emblazoned below the grille, Ford says its self-driving cars bring the promise of safer streets and more efficient deliveries — and probably more than a few fender benders. The cars arrived last week, and testing is already underway.
Initially, Ford will test two types of autonomous cars in Miami: the aforementioned blue-and-white research vehicles with hardware and software technology by Argo, a self-driving startup backed by Ford; and...

Sprint is preparing six cities for 5G with Massive MIMO antennas
Sprint is still planning to launch a 5G network in 2019, and the carrier is moving toward building a next-generation network by announcing the first six cities where it plans to roll out Massive MIMO antenna technology: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC.
Now, Massive MIMO isn’t necessarily 5G in and of itself, but it’s an important step toward reaching higher speeds, especially at lower areas of the cellular spectrum. Current MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology uses 2X2 (where two antennas are used for sending and receiving data) or 4X4 (four antennas) arrays. Massive MIMO uses far more: there’s a total of 128 antennas on Sprints arrays, with 64 for transmitting and 64 for receiving, which...

The Galaxy S9’s dual-aperture camera is great marketing
Samsung’s Galaxy S9 launch event here at Mobile World Congress 2018 was a weird one. The company went through familiar motions, but the usual buzz and excitement for its new flagship phone weren’t really there. Thanks to the toxic mixture of incremental upgrades relative to the existing Galaxy S8 and the usual pre-announcement cycle of leaks and revelations, there just wasn’t much to get hyped about. Unless you liked those creepy AR Emoji.
The one source of solace for hardware geeks came in the form of Samsung’s new dual-aperture camera system in the S9. Not since 2009’s Nokia N86 has the world seen a phone with variable aperture, and Samsung’s revival of that feature did stir up some interest. For me, it was the thing that salvaged the...

OneCast brings Xbox One game streaming to Macs
Windows 10 users have been able to stream Xbox One games to their computers since 2015, but Mac owners have been sadly left out of the fun unless they go through extensive workarounds with apps like Parallels or install a Windows partition on Boot Camp. Now, a new app called OneCast claims to solve that issue and enable Mac users to stream games from their Xbox One just like their Windows 10 counterparts, via 9to5Mac.
I briefly tried out OneCast, and it works like it says on the box. I have no idea how it’s managing to work, but it seems to be using the same built-in streaming system that Microsoft users have for the official Xbox streaming on PC. Setup was as simple as installing a driver for the Xbox One controller and logging in with...

The FTC’s lawsuit against AT&T’s throttling on ‘unlimited’ data plans will go ahead
A federal appeals court has ruled against AT&T, allowing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to move ahead with its case against the telecommunications company that alleges AT&T throttled data speeds for millions of customers who purchased unlimited data plans.
The case began formally as an FTC clampdown on the way AT&T was marketing its unlimited data plans. That then escalated to examinations about how much power the FTC has in holding corporations to account over their practices. Though the FTC Act gives the Commission enforcement authority over “unfair or deceptive acts or practices,” it exempts “common carriers.” AT&T argued it is a common carrier, and that the FTC has no jurisdiction over it, but that notion was dismissed by the...

Microsoft’s Slack competitor might get a free version soon
Microsoft launched its Slack competitor, Microsoft Teams, just over a year ago. At launch, the software giant only unveiled paid subscriptions for its chat service, with no free or freemium tiers for businesses to upgrade from. It looks like that’s about to change, though. Petri reports that the latest test versions of Microsoft Teams include multiple references to a freemium tier, with options to “upgrade to paid version.”
It appears that Microsoft is testing this functionality out, before rolling it out publicly. It’s not clear how the free tier of Microsoft Teams will work, but if it’s similar to Slack then it will probably be limited to a certain number of people on a server until paid features are required. Slack has had the benefit...

Trump campaign gamed Facebook ads even better than we thought
Did Facebook’s ad platform give Donald Trump an unfair advantage in the 2016 election? That’s a question I tried to answer last October, when I looked at how the dynamics of the ad platform can promote more polarizing ads. It came up again over the weekend, as more people digested Antonio García Martínez’s op-ed in Wired, which examines the same issue. Here’s how he put it:
During the run-up to the election, the Trump and Clinton campaigns bid ruthlessly for the same online real estate in front of the same swing-state voters. But because Trump used provocative content to stoke social media buzz, and he was better able to drive likes, comments, and shares than Clinton, his bids received a boost from Facebook’s click model, effectively...

Coinbase tells 13,000 users their data will be sent to the IRS soon
Coinbase told its customers on Friday that it plans to comply with a court order and hand over about 13,000 customers’ data to the IRS within 21 days. The IRS made the request back in November 2016, asking for the Coinbase records of all the people who bought bitcoin from 2013 to 2015 to seek out those who were evading cryptocurrency taxes. Anyone affected by the order should now have received an email from Coinbase to that effect.
Coinbase heavily resisted the summons. But ultimately, in November last year, the San Francisco court ruled Coinbase had to turn over identifying records for all users who have completed transactions of more than $20,000 through their accounts in a single year between 2013 and 2015.

Self-proclaimed Satoshi Craig Wright is being sued for stealing his partner’s bitcoin
Craig Wright, who once claimed to be long-sought Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, has been sued for stealing $5 billion in bitcoin from a former business partner.
Filed in the Florida District court earlier this month, the lawsuit alleges that Wright participated in a joint bitcoin-mining venture with the now-deceased IT consultant Dave Kleiman, ultimately mining between 550,000 and 1,100,000 bitcoin. According to the plaintiffs, Wright forged and back-dated a number of documents after Kleiman’s death in order to make it appear that the co-founder had signed away his shares.

When someone leaves you a voicemail, Google does its best to transcribe that message and puts the text right in the voicemail tab. It’s not always terribly accurate, but gives a very quick idea of whether it’s an important missed call or some nonsense spam about a free vacation or impending doom over owed taxes.

He added, “This is particular true when I feel the press report in question is favorable to my image or brand.” It did make 50 Cent initially look like a baller when, at the height of bitcoin’s value, he appeared to be $8 million deep in cryptocurrency. But, to prove that he is...

The Walking Dead has returned from its traditional midseason break, careening toward the conclusion of the comic’s “All Out War” saga and the end of the feud between Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his arch-nemesis Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). But thus far, the show’s big bet on Negan has been a bit of a misfire, with ratings hitting staggering lows last year and Negan himself absent from roughly half of this season’s episodes.
But a midseason premiere is an opportunity to start again, and in the episodes ahead, the bat-wielding villain will likely play a bigger role than ever. That’s why week-to-week I’ll be analyzing the show through its presentation of Negan: how he acts, how he delivers his jokes and threats, and most importantly,...
