The Morning After: Netflix cancels 'Luke Cage'

It's Saturday, October 20, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Welcome to your weekend! Friday night brought a successful rocket launch and some bad news for another Marvel hero on Netflix. Also, we’ll take a look at Tim Cook’s request to Bloomberg, and take a ride in Audi’s new A8. (View in browser.) Heroes for hire. Netflix cancels 'Luke Cage' a week after dropping 'Iron Fist' Bad news for Luke Cage comes on the same day Netflix premiered season three of Daredevil, which was the first of its Defenders TV shows to launch in a partnership with Disney and Marvel. Additional seasons of Jessica Jones and The Punisher have already been ordered, but with Disney set to premiere its own streaming service next year, it seems like the two companies are already pulling further apart when it comes to licensing content. Tim Cook speaks out. Apple CEO calls on Bloomberg to retract China surveillance report Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that San Jose-based server company Super Micro installed surveillance micro-chips in the Chinese data center hardware of up to 30 companies, including Amazon and Apple. Now, Apple CEO Tim Cook is calling on the well-reputed publication to retract its story altogether, according to BuzzFeed News. Well that doesn’t seem sinister at all. Watch Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini robot twerk to ‘Uptown Funk’ Instead of a highlight workout video (or just one showing a robot at work), Boston Dynamics took an all-new tack with its latest YouTube post: a Spot robot dancing to Bruno Mars. But no Level 3 autonomy -- yet. 2019 Audi A8 review: An evolution in luxury and tech The A8 is Audi's premier sedan. With it, the automaker is introducing an enormous amount of tech. Bumper to bumper, the car is dripping with new features. There’s an updated infotainment system that’s easier to use, new driver assists with help from a laser scanner, plus suspension that can lift or lower the car on the fly for comfort or safety. You can still order it ‘off menu’ for an extra $5,000. Tesla shelves the full self-driving option you couldn't use Ever since Tesla hinted at its autonomous future, there's been a "Full Self-Driving Capability" checkbox on the order page for its cars -- spend several grand and your car would one day steer itself. It has yet to materialize, though, and now Tesla has removed the option from its site.  Is it time to upgrade? Pixel 3 and 3 XL review: Google’s hardware takes a backseat to software The Pixel 3’s gorgeous new display and exquisite build make your photos, videos and games look so good you won’t mind the $150 price hike. Meanwhile, the Pixel 3 XL is a long-lasting, powerful flagship with a brilliant display, capable cameras and the best of Google’s software smarts -- if you can get past its polarizingly deep notch. But wait, there's more... 1. HTC's standalone Vive Focus will soon get 6DoF VR controllers 2. Huawei is working on a foldable 5G smartphone 3. Banksy's 'Girl with Balloon' was meant to be shredded completely 4. OnePlus moves 6T launch to October 29th to avoid clashing with Apple 5.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Is Coming - and It's Only the Beginning

	Are you a retailer trying to get ready for the 2018 holiday season? Well, I'm afraid I can't help you. Just kidding. Sort of. I could just sit here and share yet another checklist to remind you of all the standard e-commerce table stakes you need to master. However, what I really want to do is help you get ready for Cyber Monday 2019 -- and beyond. [More...]

The Morning After: The cheapest Tesla Model 3 ever

It's Friday, October 19, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Friday morning has arrived, and with it we’re looking at the cheapest Model 3 ever. Also, Apple opened orders for the iPhone XR and set a date for its event where we expect to meet new iPads and Macs. Plus, there’s groundbreaking news in the worlds of chipmaking and quantum computing.   A 2-in-1 that’s not just another Surface wannabe.   Samsung Galaxy Book 2 hands-on   This laptop packs a Snapdragon 850 processor that helps it achieve gigabit LTE speeds and last up to 20 hours on a charge. According to Qualcomm, that will increase its performance and battery life by 30 percent over previous models. Like other Snapdragon PCs, the Galaxy Book 2 will ship with Windows 10 S as its default operating system, though you can upgrade to full Windows 10 for free. The Galaxy Book 2 will be available on November 2nd for $1,000 -- with keyboard and S Pen included -- on Microsoft, Samsung and AT&T's websites and through Verizon and Sprint later this year. It costs $4,000 less than the previous cheapest option. Now there’s a cheaper Model 3 for you to buy According to Elon Musk, that promised $35,000 Model 3 (before any tax rebates are applied) is still months away, but the company has an alternative for people who would like to get theirs this year and still pay a little less. A new mid-range battery + RWD version is now the cheapest base model we’ve seen yet, dropping the entry price from $49,000 to $45,000.   Brooklyn bound.   Apple’s iPad and Mac event is scheduled for October 30th   Ungh, will everyone stop announcing phones, hybrid PCs and tablets for just a hot second? Apple is back (iPhone XR goes on preorder today), for what’s likely to be an iPad and Mac event, with roughly ten different event invites going out to journalists and analysts yesterday -- all in different artistic styles. Those rumored iPad Pros with a near bezel-free design could well be making an appearance.   Sponsored Content by StackCommerce You can learn any of these 10 awesome skills for under $40 Prepare yourself.   'Red Dead Redemption 2' starts its 100GB pre-release downloads   Rockstar’s new western will be released next week on PS4 and Xbox One, so of course gamers who have pre-ordered a copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 will be able to pre-load starting today. Just make sure you’ve got enough space available because it could need about 100GB (XB1) or 150GB of free space (PS4) just to complete the installation process. While you’re waiting for it to download and eventually unlock on October 26th, there’s also a new Launch trailer to check out, which focuses on the single-player story -- and that's key since multiplayer won’t be available until November.   You can drop the info into apps like Facebook Messenger, Line and WhatsApp.   Google Maps ETA sharing comes to iOS, third-party apps   After first introducing the feature in 2017, Google is giving users the ability to share their location and route in real-time with others on both Android and iOS devices -- and through third-party messaging apps. The Share Your Progress feature allows you to send your contacts a live look at your location, the route you're on, your phone's battery life and how long it will take for you to arrive at your destination.   But wait, there's more... 1. MoviePass parent company Helios and Matheson is under investigation for fraud 2. Apple opens pre-orders for the iPhone XR 3. Microsoft executive allegedly attempted to embezzle $1.5 million 4. Samsung has figured out EUV, the holy grail of chipmaking 5. US semiconductor company claims Huawei tried to steal its technology 6. IBM finally proves that quantum systems are faster than classical ones 7. Carving up London on the monster Mate X electric bike 8. Jabra's Elite 65t are the most versatile headphones you can buy 9. Facebook's confusion about its Portal camera is concerning

6 Tips for Managing Data Before an Emergency Strikes
Think about planning for a natural disaster emergency that might affect
your home. You'd likely store some water, flashlights, food, blankets
and other essentials. The key element of your planning would be
proactivity. You'd do all of the work before an emergency occurred, not
during the actual crisis. If your supplies were used up after the

Building a Speed Bump for Tech Companies' Maniacal Data Race
Facebook has been in seriously hot water for its data monetization model
almost from the firm's beginning. The Cambridge Analytica, election
meddling and fake news scandals have turned up the heat. Facebook's
problems aren't limited to the public and government backlash that spans
several countries; the firm faces potentially devastating legal threats
too.

DevOps: Let's Talk About Security
In spite of all the high-profile breaches that seem to sweep the
headlines with greater frequency, companies slowly but surely have been
getting a handle on internal security practices. At this point, it's
hard to imagine any employee, in or out of the tech sector, who hasn't
been run through antiphishing training. However, security is only as
strong as its weakest link.
