Nearly a month after YouTube said it was going to combat online terrorist content on its platform, the video-sharing site said the process is going well, thanks to machines and humans alike. In an August 1 blog post, the Google-owned site said its multi-pronged approach is being aided by machine learning, where computers are detecting and removing the content in a faster manner. "Our machine learning systems are faster and more effective than ever before," YouTube said in the post. "Over 75 percent of the videos we've removed for violent extremism over the past month were taken down before receiving a single human flag." Continue reading... Trending right now:…

Earth is a fantastic place to be right now, but that won't always be the case. If humanity doesn't manage to completely destroy the planet for ourselves before our sun begins to grow noticeably warmer, its intense heat will make our world uninhabitable on its own. Scientists have long theorized that when the sun grows hot enough to cause serious problems for Earth, some of the icy moons in our Solar System might warm up enough to support life. Unfortunately, new research is casting some serious doubt on that idea, and suggests that finding a new place to live after Earth might force us to venture much farther. Continue reading...

Nowadays, sharks are often seen as the most feared creatures roaming the world's oceans, but what we think of as modern sharks have only been around for something like 100 million years. If you look back even further, some 250 million years ago the ocean was just as potentially dangerous as it is today, and a newly-discovered fossil points to a predator of the deep that would have been an extremely intimidating sight.

The more time developers spend with Apple’s newly released augmented reality platform built into iOS 11, the clearer it is that Apple AR will be better than anything the competition has to offer. We’ve already seen a variety of apps developed with ARKit, including immersive games, but also apps that may redefine the way we use our smartphones once iOS 11 is released and these apps become public. But a developer found a different use for Apple’s AR platform for the iPhone: Special effects in movies. Continue reading...

The Federal Communications Commission, under the new stewardship of former Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai, is moving at speed to nullify Obama-era net neutrality rules. Those rules, orchestrated by former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, ensure that internet service providers can't violate the principles of net neutrality, and forces ISPs to treat all customers' internet traffic equally. ISPs generally agree that net neutrality is a nice thing in public statements, but the ISPs (and their new champion Pai) claim that the "onerous" and "overbearing" rules imposed by Wheeler are destroying investment and generally ruining the internet for all the well-meaning cable companies out there…

There’s no question about it: the iPhone 8 and Galaxy Note 8 are the two hottest smartphones launching in the second half of the year. They will have various things in common, including all-screen designs, dual cameras on the back, speedy processors built on the latest technology available, and plenty of storage. They’ll also be quite expensive, with both the iPhone 8 and Galaxy Note 8 expected to cost around $1,000. But how big will they really be? Continue reading...

If you own a Fire TV Stick, prepare to have your mind blown. Tons of people have Amazon’s compact streaming media device connected to their HDTVs and to power outlets, since HDMI ports obviously can’t power devices. What many people don’t realize, however, is that there’s no reason to plug your Fire TV Stick into the wall. Your TV has several unused USB ports on the back, and they’re just waiting to provide power to your Fire TV Stick.

You can tell the end times are approaching, because all the nation's biggest telecoms companies are trying to become even bigger. Just days after we heard about a very serious proposal for Comcast to buy Verizon, new reports are emerging that Sprint, Charter, and T-Mobile could soon become one giant ball of suckiness. Sources told Reuters that SoftBank, the Japanese telco that owns Sprint, is working on financing to buy out Charter. The deal would likely be worth more than $100 billion, and turn Charter-Sprint into a formidable telecoms behemoth that could offer home internet, cable TV, and wireless services. Continue reading...

In the build-up to the Model 3 launch, Elon Musk made it abundantly clear that the number of configuration options at launch would be extremely limited. "You just need to decide what color you want and what size wheels, at least for the initial production,” Musk said during an interview last month. Earlier in the year, Musk explained that the goal is to minimize "configuration complexity" in order to streamline production and help Tesla meet staggering demand for its $35,000 car. To this point, Musk over the weekend confirmed that there are now more than 500,000 outstanding Model 3 reservations. Continue reading... Trending right now: Leak: Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 X…
