Huawei is teasing the launch of a new phone with yet another novel solution to the notch: a circular cutout for the camera in the top left corner, surrounded by screen in all 360 degrees. An image circulating on Chinese social media, which Huawei has confirmed as authentic to The Verge, suggests the outline of a bezel-less phone with a selfie camera in the corner.
Samsung is also preparing a phone with a similar camera cutout, according to SamMobile and leaker Ice Universe. Both sources agree that the phone will be called the Galaxy A8S, but SamMobile expects a January release while Ice Universe predicts it will come next month. Ice Universe also uses the term “hole-screen mobile phone,” which I choose to believe is an awesome pun and...
Romaine lettuce contaminated with E. coli is making people sick again, and now, the Food and Drug Administration has a better idea of where it’s coming from: investigators working over Thanksgiving traced the tainted lettuce back to the Central Coast growing region of California. The FDA now says we’re clear to eat romaine grown in other regions. But if you’re craving a caesar salad after last week’s produce purge and can’t tell where the romaine’s from, don’t buy it.
E. coli naturally hangs out in animal guts — and many strains aren’t harmful to people when ingested. But the strain involved in this latest outbreak, E. coli O157:H7, produces dangerous toxins and can cause kidney failure. So far, 43 people in the US and 22 people in...
Facebook users are reporting one of the stranger bugs to plague the platform of late: years-old Messenger threads resurfacing automatically, without context or explanation. First reported by users on Twitter, the company now confirms that older messages are being treated as new, unread ones and popping up in the Messenger tab on Facebook.com.
“Some people are seeing older messages on Facebook.com. We are aware of the issue and are actively working to resolve it in as soon as possible,” a Facebook spokesperson tells The Verge. “We apologize for the inconvenience.”
Some have expressed concern that the bug could resurface conversations or past histories they would much rather forget. Unless you actively delete the history between you and...
Eight Android apps with more than 2 billion downloads in the Google Play store have been engaging in fraudulent ad practices, BuzzFeed News reported today. Seven of the apps are owned by Cheetah Mobile, a publicly-traded Chinese company, and one app is owned by Kika Tech, a Chinese company headquartered in Silicon Valley. The two companies have been found to abuse app permissions in order to monitor new downloads and hijack app-install bounties that could range in the millions of dollars, according to app analytics firm Kochava.
While the scheme involved monitoring users’ behavior, it was ultimately used to rip off app developers, who pay a fee to partners when they drive users to install new apps. In a normal installation process,...
Microsoft is offering much of its Surface lineup of PCs at a discount for Cyber Monday. What’s perhaps better than an outright deal is that most of these Surface promotions come bundled with a Type Cover, giving whoever receives it as a gift more versatility out of the box than these Windows 10 machines usually offer. You’ll also find deals on laptops made by the likes of HP, Dell, and others, along with some appealing discounts on all things Xbox.
We’ll be adding and removing deals to reflect what’s currently available.

Cyber Monday is here — and while it might not have quite the clout of Black Friday, you’d be hard-pressed to tell at Amazon. Today, you can not only get the ginormous retailer’s house-brand gadgets for the same if-you’re-going-to-buy-now’s-the-time prices as you could on Friday.

This isn’t a master list of everything worth buying from...

Of course, seeing how actor Ross Marquand managed to keep a secret as big as his role in the Russo Brothers’ last movie under wraps, it only figures that he’d have the restraint to keep mum about any future MCU appearances, or lack thereof. And so when The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman asked the star in a recent episode of Talking Dead whether he’d be in the Infinity War sequel, Marquand was careful to give the writer nothing.
“I don’t know,” Marquand stated. “I can’t answer that question. I really don’t know.”
Earlier this month, Sebastian Stan made the same questionable claim that he doesn’t actually know if he’ll be appearing in Avengers 4, since the film and its predecessor were shot at the same time. But while there’s a chance that Marquand is legitimately uncertain about whether he’ll have any screen time in the final cut of next year’s release, the more likely story here is that he’s simply refusing to tell, which raises the question of whether he does indeed have something to hide.
Either way, Avengers 4 is already looking to be packed full of familiar figures, among whom are likely to be a few more characters that most of us had assumed to be out of the franchise for good. It’s the end of an era for the MCU, and we’ll find out who’s been brought in to see out the grand finale when the film hits theaters on May 3rd, 2019.
In another twist to the raging controversy over Mithali Raj’s exclusion from the playing XI for the World T20 semifinal against England last Friday, Committee of Administrators (CoA) member Diana Edulji has denied reports that they have asked for Mithali’s fitness logs from the tournament.
Edgbaston has been proposed as the primary venue, with county grounds at Worcester, Derbyshire and Leicester serving as secondary hosts during the group stages. The matches will be played in the Twenty20 format.

Reuters broke the news this weekend that Logitech was in talks to acquire headphone maker Plantronics for more than $2.2 billion, but it looks like the deal isn’t happening. Logitech tells TechCrunch that “while it had engaged in discussions with Plantronics about a potential transaction, it had terminated the negotiations.”
A $2.2 billion deal would have been Logitech’s biggest acquisition to date by far, although it wouldn’t necessarily have reflected a particularly high valuation of Plantronics’ consumer business. Earlier this year Plantronics itself bought out video-conferencing solutions maker Polycom for $2 billion, which had to have been the main factor in Logitech’s willingness to pay so much.
Bitcoin is in the middle of an astounding price drop, reaching prices as low as $3,520 in recent days and wiping out all gains from coins purchased this year. As of press time, the price was hovering around $3,900, a roughly 40 percent drop from two weeks ago. The result is the worst price drop since April 2013, refreshing old doubts about the soundness of bitcoin as an investment vehicle.
It’s a dramatic turn from 2017, when the value passed $15,000 in the beginning of December to peak just below $20,000. After that, prices plummeted. By January of this year, it lost half of its peak value, and continued to drop. The drop has been particularly dramatic in the last couple of weeks.
The price drop is likely the result of a series of forks...
Video game, comic book, and book publisher Rebellion is expanding into film and television with the launch of a $100 million studio, which Variety says will serve the company’s upcoming motion picture projects.
The company purchased a former newspaper shop in Didcot, west of London, which will provide 220,000 square feet of space and a 25,000 square foot soundstage.
Rebellion is known for video games like Sniper Elite and Alien vs. Predator, as well as comic books like 2000 AD, which features its own host of characters and stories. Variety says that this new studio will be used for a pair of upcoming adaptations of the publisher’s IP: a Judge Dredd TV show, called Judge Dredd: Mega City, as well as an adaptation of another 2000 AD...
Following on the heels of those red-and-blue helmet illustrations shared a few days ago, we now have a new batch of Captain Marvel promo art which show off the MCU’s most powerful hero in her classic costume.
With various merchandise for Marvel Studios’ next movie soon becoming available for pre-order, we’re starting to get a better feel for how Brie Larson’s character is going to be sold to us, with one image – seemingly on the cover of a diary or notebook – showing Carol Danvers as resolute, strong-minded, and ready for the fight, while a few jets fly behind her just for emphasis.
Another of these artworks was actually leaked to the public earlier this year, but it’s worth getting a second look at the glowing orange of Captain Marvel’s hands, along with her spacey background. Lastly, we have what appears to be a logo for the character, in which our hero is looking pretty Christ-like with her hands and head radiating light as she makes her ascent.
Overall, it’s a nice set of images, even if they don’t have a whole lot of new info to offer. Either way, this last week or so has proven fairly fruitful when it comes to Captain Marvel material, with set photos from the movie’s LA reshoots giving us a few more glimpses of Carol in her alternate Kree outfit, not to mention further pics of Clark Gregg as a young Phil Coulson.
All the same, the fans would be pretty grateful if Marvel Studios ever thought to throw us a second trailer. The predictions for when that footage could drop have ranged from December 8th at Brazil’s CCXP to mid-January, but one date that we can be sure of is the release of Captain Marvel on March 8th, 2019.
