Editor's Pick: News Industry Ad Study Knocked as 'Tripe'

News Industry Ad Study Knocked as 'Tripe'

John P. Mello Jr. Jun 12, 2019 2:53 AM PT
	A study that estimates Google last year raked in $4.7 billion from news content has drawn widespread criticism. That $4.7 billion is a conservative estimate, according to the News Media Alliance, the trade group that released the study. That's because the estimate doesn't take into account Google's advertising revenue from publishers and data collected from news content. [More...]

Tesla's electric trucks

It's Wednesday, June 12, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Electric trucks and robotic toy tanks. Plus everything from E3 (including a full breakdown of yesterday’s Nintendo Direct). Just another Wednesday morning. (View in browser.) And a submarine car design. Elon Musk talks up Tesla's 'Cyberpunk truck,' and 400-mile-range EVs This year at Tesla's annual shareholders meeting, the conversation went pretty much as we'd expect, with teases of some upcoming products, muttering about negative media coverage and plenty of confidence from CEO Elon Musk. We should expect to see Tesla’s F-150-fighting electric pickup truck unveiled by the end of this summer, and the Model Y crossover is still on track to come out next year. Can you feel it? PlayStation skipped E3, but Sony’s presence is everywhere Just because a company can present at E3 doesn’t mean it should. That’s why Sony is doing E3 without actually attending. Even the company’s press conference gap left space for Square Enix  to announce details about a major PlayStation exclusive. The PR machine is already buzzing along, with next-generation console details revealed in April and a launch date for the upcoming exclusive game Death Stranding. Jessica Conditt breaks down all the ways Sony is dominating the show floor even in its absence. The battle of the not-beef burgers. Beyond Meat answers Impossible Foods with 'meatier' plant patties Beyond Meat isn't going to sit by while Impossible creates juicier versions of its plant-based burgers. The company is rolling out a "meatier" version of the Beyond Burger to grocery stores across the US with a new mix of mung bean, pea and rice proteins. It even changes color from red to brown during cooking thanks to apple extract. You should see the next-gen Beyond Burger in meat aisles within the next two to three weeks, and you can recognize it by the red tab at the top. Sponsored Content by GilletteLabs Now Available! The Heated Razor from GilletteLabs. Winner of Engadget's People's Choice Award at CES 2019. A TurboExpress mobile app would be a better idea. Konami's TurboGrafx-16 mini is ready to ride the retro-gaming wave Need a sign that the retro gaming console market just won't come to an end? At E3, Konami just announced the TurboGrafx-16 mini, marking a return for the console that debuted in the US alongside the Sega Genesis in 1989, but never quite enjoyed the support or sales of its competitors. Games already announced include R-Type and Ys Book I & II, but there’s no word about Bonk’s Adventure. Shall we play a game? DJI's first educational robot is a $500 DIY drone tank Inspired by a robotics competition that DJI has sponsored and hosted for the past five years, the RoboMaster S1 features high-performance motors, wheels with omni-directional movements, a gimbal, infrared and bead blasters, a speaker and, of course, a tiny camera that can shoot HD video at up to 1080p. Computer vision and AI tech means it can follow paths, recognize hand and body gestures and use its 31 sensors to follow you around a room. Speaking of major PlayStation exclusives... 'Final Fantasy VII Remake' feels ambitious and different An early, 15-minute demo answers a lot of questions and concerns regarding the remake's battle system and game dynamics -- suddenly all that talk of active time battle gauges, abilities, staggering and player switching made much more sense.  Season five review. 'Black Mirror' has nothing left to say Devindra Hardawar enjoyed all of his Bandersnatch playthroughs, but hoped Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker would give us more of an upgrade with the show's fifth season. Unfortunately, it's more of the same, with just a few bright spots. The next Xbox. Phil Spencer: xCloud runs 'fine' on 4G "We're not coming in and trying to tell people to stop doing what they were doing before and to adopt streaming today as the only way that they should play," Xbox head Phil Spencer told Engadget after stepping off the stage where he unveiled Microsoft’s Project Scarlett at E3.  This retro console plays modern games, too. Pre-orders for Atari's retro VCS console start at $249 The retro console is available for general pre-order now from both the company site as well as GameStop and Walmart, with orders from the last two expected to ship in March 2020 (crowdfunding backers may get theirs in December 2019). The base VCS 400, with an AMD processor, embedded Vega graphics and 4GB of RAM, will cost you $249. A VCS 800 with 8GB of RAM will cost $279. The classic Atari-style joystick and more modern gamepad will sell for $49 and $59, though, and buying an all-inclusive 800 model with both controllers will cost you $389. But wait, there's more... 1. Apple and Microsoft teamed up to make a new iCloud for Windows app 2. Ten states sue to block T-Mobile merger with Sprint 3. La Liga fined €250,000 for using its app to catch illegal soccer streams 4. A 'Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' sequel is in development 5. Engadget's Guide to Parenting in the Digital Age: The best streaming apps for kids 6. Radiohead bypasses hackers to publish its 'OK Computer' demos 7. Amazon opens its second Go store in New York 8. 'Collection of Mana' brings classic action RPGs to Switch

For Brands the Future Is Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg recently said that the future of Facebook is private.
Interestingly, connecting the dots between all the announcements made at
Facebook's 2019 developers conference draws a bright picture of what the
future looks like for brands, small e-commerce stores, and new
businesses using the Facebook family of apps. It includes a whole new
world of opportunities.

When Retail Customers Take It on the Chin, Investors Win
I am a reluctant Costco shopper. My wife is one of the many who really
love the chain. Me... not so much. Seriously -- someone should knock
Costco's top officials on the head and wake them up to the need to focus
on their customers. After all, it's the customers who make Costco
successful. When my family owned lots of retail stores, I learned many
important lessons that Costco needs to learn.
