Facebook has been charged with housing discrimination by the US government
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has filed charges against Facebook for violations of the Fair Housing Act, allegedly made in connection with Facebook’s ad targeting system. The charges build on a complaint filed in August.
“Facebook is discriminating against people based upon who they are and where they live,” HUD Secretary Ben Carson said in a statement. “Using a computer to limit a person’s housing choices can be just as discriminatory as slamming a door in someone’s face.”
ProPublica first raised concerns over housing discrimination on Facebook in 2016, when reporters found that the “ethnic affinities” tool could be used to exclude black or hispanic users from seeing specific ads. If those ads were for housing or...

UK watchdog slams Huawei over ‘serious’ cybersecurity vulnerabilities
A UK government cybersecurity watchdog has once again raised serious concerns about Huawei’s security practices, the Financial Times reports. The report comes from the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) Oversight Board, an organisation set up by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre to evaluate the security risks posed by using Huawei’s equipment in critical national infrastructure.
HCSEC’s report does not claim to have found any direct evidence of state-backed espionage. However, what it does do is criticise Huawei’s “basic engineering competence and cyber security hygiene,” which could be exploited in a future cybersecurity attack. In particular:
“HCSEC has continued to find serious vulnerabilities in the Huawei...

Xiaomi’s foldable phone shows up in new video teaser
Xiaomi has posted a fresh teaser video for its bifold Android device. Like the Huawei Mate X, Xiaomi’s open tablet has thin, regular bezels on all sides, and when it folds the screen wraps around the outside. The Xiaomi difference is that its foldable folds twice. So far, only Samsung’s Galaxy Fold promises a foldable phone with the display on the inside, with every other manufacturer preferring to put the display on the exterior. This sidesteps the thorny problem of creating a crease at the point of the device’s fold, but it also puts the screen in much more danger of getting scratched or otherwise tarnished.
This latest teaser from Xiaomi shows a reasonably fluid transition from tablet to smartphone mode, both in physical terms and in...

It’s the first federal discrimination lawsuit to deal with targeted advertising, a milestone that officials at HUD said was overdue. “Even as we confront new technologies, the fair housing laws enacted over half a century ago remain...

Spotify is testing Premium Duo, a discounted subscription for two
Spotify is testing a new subscription called Premium Duo that offers you two Premium subscriptions for the discounted price of €12.49 a month. The new plan, which was first spotted by Redditor u/Hasztagg and confirmed to The Verge by Spotify, also comes with a new playlist called Duo Mix, which auto-generates based on both your listening habits.
Premium Spotify subscriptions usually cost €9.99 per subscriber. Premium Duo subscriptions therefore represent a decent savings for suitable couples and roommates. Like the Family subscription, Premium Duo subscribers must live at the same address, but what’s different now is that Spotify will ask you to provide this address as part of the Duo sign-up process.

Kaz Hirai is retiring from Sony
Sony chairman Kazuo “Kaz” Hirai has announced his retirement, drawing a 35-year career with the company to a close. Hirai stepped down as CEO a little over a year ago, passing the role to Kenichiro Yoshida, the CFO with whom he orchestrated Sony’s turnaround from a money-losing gadget maker to a profitable company focused on components and the PlayStation business.
Hirai will leave his chairman role on June 18th, but will continue to act as occasional “senior advisor” for the company upon the request of Sony’s management team. “Hirai-san and I have been working on management reforms together since December 2013,” says Yoshida in a statement. “While he will be retiring from both Chairman and our Board of Directors, we look forward to his...

Buyers will now be able to return a car within seven days (or before 1,000 miles) for a full refund regardless of whether or not they have taken a test drive with the company, contrary to the language that was on the company’s website before Wednesday.

Twitch’s new Squad Stream feature will let four creators go live in the same screen
Twitch today announced a new feature designed to help creators boost the profile of smaller streamers on the platform and to better collaborate with one another. The feature, called Squad Streams, will let up to four Twitch streamers go live simultaneously in one window, making it easier for viewers to watch the action from four different angles and giving bigger channels the opportunity not just to host smaller creators, but to share their screen with the audience, too.
The Squad Stream builds on existing discoverability features, like raiding and hosting, that have let large creators spotlight others by either sending a wave of viewers directly to their channel of choice or by directly mirroring someone else’s stream so that it gets...

Sony celebrates 4.2 million PSVRs sold — or about twice as many Sega CD accessories
Earlier this week, Sony celebrated a (somewhat arbitrary) milestone for PSVR: 4.2 million headsets sold. It sure sounds like a lot, but if you put it in comparison to other excessively publicized console accessories, like the Sega CD or the Kinect motion camera for the Xbox 360, it’s a far less impressive achievement, as noted today by Ars Technica.
There are two important numbers to look at for the PSVR (or any accessory): how many units it’s sold, and what percentage of total console owners have bought it, otherwise known as the attach rate. In the PSVR’s case, Sony has already told us that sales have reached 4.2 million, compared to the 94.2 million PS4 consoles sold as of February 2019. That translates to roughly 4.4 percent of PS4...

Cloak & Dagger’s power creep is a problem for season 2
Spoilers ahead for season 1 of Cloak & Dagger.
Most superhero shows falter in their second season. First seasons are driven by origin stories, letting writers introduce the heroes and signature villains, and exploring the pleasures and perils that come from their power. But once evil has been punished and a crisis averted, the question is “What’s next?” Should the showrunners bring back the same threat and escalate it, or introduce a new one? Do the stakes need to be increased now that the heroes are no longer novices? And if so, will the good guys need to become even more powerful to face what’s next?
Every potential answer to those questions has its own pitfalls, and unfortunately, Cloak & Dagger seems to be struggling with how to...

Alexa’s chief scientist thinks the assistant needs a robot body to understand the world
Amazon’s Rohit Prasad, head scientist and an instrumental member of the Alexa division, says the company’s personal software assistant would be far smarter if it had a robot body and cameras to move around in the real world. Prasad, speaking at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital AI conference in San Francisco yesterday, said, “The only way to make smart assistants really smart is to give it eyes and let it explore the world.”
Some Alexa-enabled smart devices already have cameras. But a robot body would be new.

On Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai met with President Trump to discuss contracts and other ongoing partnerships with the US government.
“I just met with Sundar Pichai, President of Google, who is obviously doing quite well,” President Trump tweeted after the meeting. “He stated strongly that he is totally committed to the U.S. Military, not the Chinese Military.

Sony celebrates 4.2 million PSVRs sold — or about twice as many Sega CD accessories
Earlier this week, Sony celebrated a (somewhat arbitrary) milestone for PSVR: 4.2 million headsets sold. It sure sounds like a lot, but if you put it in comparison to other excessively publicized console accessories, like the Sega CD or the Kinect motion camera for the Xbox 360, it’s a far less impressive achievement, as noted today by Ars Technica.
There are two important numbers to look at for the PSVR (or any accessory): how many units it’s sold, and what percentage of total console owners have bought it, otherwise known as the attach rate. In the PSVR’s case, Sony has already told us that sales have reached 4.2 million, compared to the 94.2 million PS4 consoles sold as of February 2019. That translates to roughly 4.4 percent of PS4...

Cloak & Dagger’s power creep is a problem for season 2
Spoilers ahead for season 1 of Cloak & Dagger.
Most superhero shows falter in their second season. First seasons are driven by origin stories, letting writers introduce the heroes and signature villains, and exploring the pleasures and perils that come from their power. But once evil has been punished and a crisis averted, the question is “What’s next?” Should the showrunners bring back the same threat and escalate it, or introduce a new one? Do the stakes need to be increased now that the heroes are no longer novices? And if so, will the good guys need to become even more powerful to face what’s next?
Every potential answer to those questions has its own pitfalls, and unfortunately, Cloak & Dagger seems to be struggling with how to...

Alexa’s chief scientist thinks the assistant needs a robot body to understand the world
Amazon’s Rohit Prasad, head scientist and an instrumental member of the Alexa division, says the company’s personal software assistant would be far smarter if it had a robot body and cameras to move around in the real world. Prasad, speaking at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital AI conference in San Francisco yesterday, said, “The only way to make smart assistants really smart is to give it eyes and let it explore the world.”
Some Alexa-enabled smart devices already have cameras. But a robot body would be new. Prasad’s comments suggest that work could be in service of one day giving Alexa a body — although he wouldn’t confirm this directly. Prasad works on natural language processing and other machine learning capabilities for Alexa,...

Josh Brolin Has Seemingly Confirmed Avengers: Endgame’s Runtime
There’s been a strong likelihood that Avengers: Endgame will clock in at around 3 hours for a while now, as discussed by Kevin Feige, but it wasn’t until this week that the movie was officially listed as such. On Monday, AMC Theaters updated Endgame‘s runtime on the website to 3 hours and 2 minutes. That seemed like confirmation of the film’s length, but Marvel and Disney have yet to comment on the matter.
Although, it looks like they don’t need to, as Thanos himself, Josh Brolin, recently shared a fan’s post about the reported runtime on his Instagram Story. The actor didn’t say anything about the length at all, but we can presumably take the fact that one of the film’s stars has shared this runtime as a sign that it’s the real deal.
See for yourself below:
Since it was first rumored that Endgame could run for 3 hours, fans have debated whether that’s a good idea or not, with it even suggested that the movie should have an intermission. Some believe this might be too long, but others are willing to trust that Marvel know what they’re doing and are ready to be entertained for three full hours plus change. After all, plenty of major blockbusters have had hefty runtimes, most notably the Lord of the Rings films, and everyone lapped them up.
The Russo brothers revealed a couple of months back that they were working with a 3 hour cut of the movie and at the time, they explained that, as the culmination of the entire MCU to date, there was a lot to cover. Plus, the filmmakers admitted they didn’t want to short-change the “emotional moments” that they promise will be an intrinsic part of the story. So, buckle up, kids, because it looks like we’re in for 3 hours of Avengers: Endgame when it finally arrives on April 26th.

A Familiar MCU Villain Will Return In Avengers: Endgame
The 3D version of the Avengers: Endgame trailer has been released and fans have noticed something in it that isn’t there in the standard teaser. We’ve previously been told that the marketing for the movie has been deliberately tampered with in order to avoid spoilers and now we have proof of that as it seems that Marvel forgot to edit one clip in the 3D trailer, thereby telling us something we didn’t know before.
To see what we mean, take a look at the comparison shots below of Clint Barton fleeing from a fire. In the first pair of images, from the regular trailer, there’s nothing behind him. But in the third and fourth, we can clearly see some creatures on his tail. From what we can tell, these appear to be Outriders, the brutish henchmen that Thanos employed to invade Wakanda in the big Earthbound battle in Infinity War.
It’s not a huge surprise that the Outriders will return in Endgame, either. The Avengers movies have always given the heroes some alien nasties to beat up as cannon fodder for cool action scenes (see: the Chitauri, Ultron’s drones, etc). The fact that Marvel went to the effort of removing them in the normal trailer, though, goes to show how keen they are to keep as much under wraps as possible.
So, what can we tell from this discovery? Well, this looks to be an Earthbound tunnel of some kind and Hawkeye is on his own, so perhaps we can infer that the Outriders come after Clint when he’s flying solo in Tokyo at the beginning of the movie, where Natasha finds him. On the other hand, it might make more sense for Thanos to send his goons after the Avengers once they’ve started interfering with his plans again, so maybe this happens later into the runtime.
In any case, if you have a good theory for how this scene fits into the story, let us know in the comments section down below. If not, well, we’ve got less than one month to go now until Avengers: Endgame blasts into cinemas on April 26th, and at that point, all will be revealed.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark Reveals The Red Dot In New Poster
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark continues to tease out the terror with a brand new poster introducing fans to the live-action take on the book’s horrifying tale The Red Dot.
Guillermo Del Toro’s next endeavor in the realm of horror will be the upcoming film based on the series of spooky short stories written by Alvin Schwartz. The Academy Award-winner will be receiving a “story by credit” as well as taking up producing responsibilities, ensuring that this adaptation is sure to make moviegoers consider sleeping with the lights on long after the credits have rolled.
The latest tease of the highly anticipated scary movie is in the form of an unnerving poster showcasing The Red Dot. Without spoiling the short story, from the looks of this creepy imagery it seems this one vividly illustrates every teenager’s worst nightmare when it comes to zits. Yikes!
The source material revolves around a group of teens stumbling upon a mansion with a young girl living inside who has some rather horrible secrets that she’s been keeping. The result of this encounter leads the unsuspecting teens to experience some truly awful horrors and from the looks of this poster, they won’t be an easy thing to face.
From what everyone saw in the teaser spots during the Super Bowl and all the marketing materials that have followed, this motion picture is shaping up to another great addition to the horror genre. A full-length trailer is undoubtedly on the way at some point and fans better brace themselves, because what’s been showcased so far is the kind of stuff nightmares are truly made of.
It will be interesting to see how Del Toro and director André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Trollhunter) bring these tales of terror to life on the big screen, but it’s hard to imagine this collaboration producing anything that will disappoint. Either way, audiences everywhere will get to enjoy the end result when Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark opens on August 9th.

Angelina Jolie To Make Her MCU Debut With The Eternals
Once Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home are out of the way, Marvel Studios will turn their attention towards The Eternals, which sounds like it’s going to define the future course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With immortal characters and a plot that may span millennia, the film will dive deep into the history of the galaxy and perhaps even lay the seeds for the arrival of mutants in the MCU. Currently, the project’s still in pre-production and though we don’t know much about what’s being planned just yet, it does seem as if things are moving along quite well.
That’s because casting is now underway and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in The Eternals. The Oscar-winning actress is apparently ready to get into the superhero movie game and she’s looking to do so by taking a lead role in the Chloe Zhao-directed film.
Details on who she’d be playing are being kept under wraps, but THR notes that the pic will feature a love story “between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans.” Whether or not Jolie will be bringing Sersi to life, we can’t say, but it’s hugely exciting to hear that she’s on board and her involvement bodes very well for The Eternals.
As comic book readers will know, the Eternals are a different species of human – in much the same way as homo neanderthalis differs from homo sapiens. Unlike Neanderthals though, they have cosmic energy which more or less makes them immortal and gives them a pretty powerful set of abilities, including super strength, flight and a variety of psychic powers.
Some folks think that Marvel Studios will use the film to bring the X-Men and mutants into the MCU as well, with the Celestial race having apparently been teased in the comics as being the ones responsible for inserting the X-gene into the human race. Chalk that up as speculation for now, but as soon as more on The Eternals and Angelina Jolie’s role in it emerges, we’ll be sure to let you know.
