It's Wednesday, March 27, 2019.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

This morning, we’re mulling over the real problem with mobile gaming and taking a seat behind the wheel of a Huracán for some computer-aided drifting. Also, Anthem got a big update, and Samsung’s mid-range phone has some impressive specs.

Can it mine cryptocurrency?

At Lamborghini, they've taken things further with their new Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata or LDVI system. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) takes data from the entire car and uses it to adjust how the new Huracán EVO Spyder drives in nearly real time. That control allows a driver to do something that typically takes months if not years to master: drifting.

And it probably doesn’t cost $1,000.

The biggest A-series phone ever is here, and it has a pretty impressive camera setup, too. The Galaxy A70 packs a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED 20:9 1,080 x 2,400 display with an Infinity-U notch. That houses the 32-megapixel, f/2.0 selfie camera that beats the main camera on many other phones (around back there’s another 32 MP camera along with an ultrawide lens and a depth sensor). With a large 4,500 mAh battery, the Galaxy A70 supports 25W fast charging just like the Galaxy S10 5G. As for other specs, it packs an 8-core processor, 6GB or 8GB of RAM (depending on the options and region) and 128GB of internal storage on top of a microSD slot.

Who doesn’t need four cameras?

With the P30 and P30 Pro, Huawei continues its unique tradition by serving up a four-camera setup with an intriguing new sensor that promises vastly improved performance in low light. There’s also an in-screen speaker, a 32 MP selfie camera tucked in the notch and an in-display optical fingerprint scanner, but Cherlynn Low’s first experience is mostly about all of those lenses.

Apple News+ has issues, but it's a great deal for casual readers

As mentioned in Apple's presentation, News+ is (unsurprisingly) an extension of the existing News app and not an app of its own. Still, Nicole Lee was impressed by its semi-curated experience and said that, at $10, it’s practically a bargain for all of the content offered.

Editor's Pick: Telegram Provides Nuclear Option to Erase Sent Messages


Jack M. Germain
Mar 26, 2019 5:00 AM PT
Telegram Messaging has introduced a new feature that allows user to delete not only their own comments, but also those of all other participants in the message thread on all devices that received it. Although the move is meant to bolster privacy, it's likely to spark some controversy. Telegram, a cloud-based instant messaging and VoIP service, is similar to WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Apple Presents Its Spin on Entertainment and News
Apple announced a raft of new services, including original TV programming and news and magazine offerings, at an event held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California.

The Future According to Nvidia
I spent last week at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, and I expect this will be the last year it will go by that name. The company has evolved significantly during the last decade with robotics, AI, and even complete workstations and servers taking it well beyond its GPU roots. However, Nvidia doesn't yet have an effective way to convey how all the things it is doing will change the world. [More...]
CDP Early Days
Here we go again, right down the hype cycle and into new product land. In the last week, two major enterprise software companies, Oracle and Salesforce, announced customer data platform products. Oracle announced its product last week in Las Vegas at its Modern Customer Experience event. This week, Salesforce announced that it is building a customer data platform. [More...]
T-Mobile's Home Broadband Carrot
Not long ago, T-Mobile COO Mike Sievert said the company would start selling a wireless home broadband service. Now, it looks as though it has begun a pilot program of invited users. However, there is an important catch with respect to this new service: the motive behind it. Sievert made it clear that growth with this new service will be possible only with a Sprint merger. That's too bad. [More...]

Phishers Bait Hooks for Netflix, Amex Users
Cybersecurity experts at Microsoft's Windows Defender Security
Intelligence Team this week reported their discovery of two new email-
based phishing campaigns. One targets Amex users while the other targets
Netflix customers. Both campaigns reportedly are very well-crafted,
featuring legitimate logos and even fill-in forms that closely mimic
those on the respective company's own websites.
