Hear the wind on Mars for the first time

NASA’s InSight lander picked up something that other Mars missions never have -- audio of the planet's winds. "Capturing this audio was an unplanned treat," Bruce Banerdt, InSight's principal investigator, said in a statement. "But one of the things our mission is dedicated to is measuring motion on Mars, and naturally that includes motion caused by sound waves."

From January 7th to January 17th.

Tom Cruise takes up the fight against TVs with motion smoothing left on

Proving that his heroism is not merely limited to on-screen antics, Tom Cruise has starred in a video spreading awareness of a scourge impacting all-too-many televisions: motion smoothing. It's the setting in almost all new HDTVs and 4K TVs that's usually turned on by default and can turn everything into a slightly-too-smooth soap-opera-looking mess.

We've written up some instructions for the settings you should adjust on any new TV, and they will help you deal with this, as well as other on-by-default switches. Please share this information with your loved ones so we can bring the 240Hz epidemic to an end.

Editor's Pick: 10 Brand and Marketing Trends to Watch in 2019


Robert Passikoff
Dec 7, 2018 9:40 AM PT
Metrics matter. In business they measure sales, they measure profits, they measure brand health. Marketers measure their reputations, their ad recall, and their shares-of-market. They measure tweets and shares and all sorts of social networking outreach. With all their measuring, marketers haven't yet located the silver bullet, but really smart marketers have caught the glint. [More...]

Google Hasn't Kept Promise to Stop Bubble-Wrapping Users: Report
Google hasn't released consumers from its filter bubble -- the package of personalized search results it delivers -- despite having promised to do so, according to study results from DuckDuckGo. Most participants saw results unique to them, the researchers found, which could not be explained by changes in location, time, by being logged into Google, or by Google testing algorithm changes.

How to Use a VPN for Safer Online Shopping
With the holidays fast approaching, are you looking to buy presents online? The holiday season has become synonymous with online shopping. This isn't really surprising as physical stores usually attract crowds of deal hunters. This often conjures up images of throngs of people waiting in line outside the store, some even camping out.

Today's Story Highlights

10 Brand and Marketing Trends to Watch in 2019
Metrics matter. In business they measure sales, they measure profits,
they measure brand health. Marketers measure their reputations, their ad
recall, and their shares-of-market. They measure tweets and shares and
all sorts of social networking outreach. With all their measuring,
marketers haven't yet located the silver bullet, but really smart
marketers have caught the glint.

Is IBM's Watson Still an AI Success Story?
IBM's artificial intelligence creation Watson wowed the world with its
appearance on the TV game show, Jeopardy! less than a decade ago. It was
amazing to see a computer play against human beings and do so well. It
showed how IBM was on a rapid growth path. However, in the years since,
it has been struggling to maintain that leadership position as the AI
growth wave has been building.

Salesforce IoT Insights Could Turbocharge Field Service
Salesforce has announced the addition of IoT Insights to Field Service
Lightning. The new tool permits signals from IoT devices to show up

app consoles, alongside CRM data. Service organizations can draw on

Did Marketers Underestimate Their Competition in 2018?
There's one competitor we underestimated this year. It's slowly draining
the attention of every human on the planet. It plays into almost all
human needs -- as they are defined by the Maslow Hierarchy. It's the
rectangular status-seeking device in your hands. That's right. It's your
smartphone. Maslow's needs start with the basics. Starting at the bottom
of the pyramid, we all need food and water.

One-of-a-Kind CRM
The hoopla over vertical market or industry CRM might be eclipsing a
similar move that does the same kind of thing but with less fanfare. In
the end, we might be discussing two iterations and just a difference of
degree. The proliferation of CRM development platforms by companies like
Microsoft, Oracle, and especially Salesforce, is changing how we regard
core functionality.
