Tesla: Don’t use your self-driving car for ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/trwMyoXQ6Ic/
Last night, Tesla announced some exciting hardware upgrades for the Model X and Model S that feature fully autonomous driving, at some point anyway. The announcement came just before a video detailing a Tesla ‘navigating a complex urban environment’ — which saw the car get on a drive itself through a suburban neighborhood, get on the freeway and then drop off the driver and park itself. It even ‘recognized’ a no parking zone found another spot. If you planned on grabbing one to make your life as an Uber or Lyft driver easier, however, don’t. The announcement came with this…

This case makes your iPhone look like an exploded Note 7

Samsung hasn’t been in a joking mood lately, but I’d like to think somewhere deep down inside, even the disparaged weapons maker mobile device manufacturer might get a chuckle over this one. Or, it could go the DMCA route we saw yesterday and threaten to sue the living bejesus out of whoever made the Explo-Sung case. Explo-Sung is an iPhone case that turns your Apple product into a Samsung device — an exploded Note 7, to be exact. The case fits every iPhone from the 5 on up and even features the Samsung logo on back, for ‘authenticity.’ It’s this…

Apple has a hidden one-handed keyboard hidden in iOS

This is very much a good news/bad news scenario. First, the good: there’s a one-handed keyboard hidden inside the code of each iPhone. The keyboard improves reachability for those with small hands, or users with the larger iPhone ‘Plus’ by reducing the button width and adding makes each of them easier to reach. The developer that found it said it’s been hiding in the code since at least iOS 8, and all you need to do to access it is swipe left or right. Video or it didn't happen: (very hard to engage in the Simulator with a mouse cursor)…

Facebook brings 360 images and video to Instant Articles

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/3YeUBIYy0ZU/
Get ready for a lot more 360 videos in Facebook articles. After introducing Instant Articles in May 2015 and 360 content in September of the same year, Facebook is bringing the two together. Starting today, any publisher can implement 360 content in their Instant Articles. They work pretty much the same as on your News Feed: wave your phone around or tap and drag to explore. To be clear, instant articles only work on iOS and Android, but it’s a neat addition to add some interactive media to a lightweight publishing system. It’s also awfully convenient that Facebook recently added the…

New donation tool makes Clinton $1,100 for each @realDonaldTrump tweet

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/T0YcHpGwJ_k/
Donald Trump has a propensity for spouting off at the mouth, especially on Twitter. At this point, that statement should surprise no one. In fact, it’s one of the most oft-mentioned reasons his followers love him — he lacks the filter of previous presidential candidates. But there are two sides to every coin. On the other, you’ll find those that equate Trump rhetoric to be akin to nails on a chalkboard. It’s that side Hillary Clinton targeted with her new tool: ‘Troll Trump.’ The tool allows Trump haters (or Clinton supporters) to pledge a monetary amount that’s then automatically donated each…

A tale of two tech giants: How Philips competes with the likes of Google to reinvent an entire industry

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/cvJgfr8Gips/ Disruption. There’s a reason startups use this buzzword – they’re all about trying new things, testing them, and re-doing it all over again. And while there is no one right way, there are plenty ways that are better. Change is never easy. For companies to benefit from the vast digital opportunities out there, organizational readiness needs to be taken seriously. Just last year, Google reimagined its Life Science research unit – rebranded as Verily – in order to uncover new truths about health and disease. This announcement breathed new life into an industry most regard as slow to evolve. The truth is, health-tech…

Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer is oddly mysterious and captivating

Linq: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/urU-expwCds/
The first teaser trailer for Red Dead Redemption’s sequel has finally arrived – and while short, it’s oddly mysterious and ridiculously captivating. The footage gives out scarce clues and hints as to where the game will be set, who the protagonists will be or what the story will revolve around. The only cue the trailer gives us is a cryptic warning at the end of the video: “When the time comes… You gotta run and don’t look back. This is over.” Rockstar Games first started teasing the sequel on Sunday, but ultimately dropped the big news on Monday when it tweeted a…
