Samsung's follow-up to the Galaxy Note 8 might look pretty similar to its predecessor. At least, according to a possible render of the Galaxy Note 9 shared by mobile tipster Ice Universe.   Samsung's Galaxy Note handsets are the brand's most high-end and expensive phones. Because of this they tend to get Samsung's most premium features. But based off the picture it seems like not much has outwardly changed between the Galaxy Note 8 and the Note 9. It also appears that the Note 9 could come with a dedicated Bixby button, like previous Samsung phones. Ice Universe claims that the two phones are virtually indistinguishable, adding that the new Note could be 2mm shorter than the Note 8 with no in-display fingerprint scanner. As with most rumors, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but Ice Universe has a track record of making Samsung predictions and posting images of its phones before their release. Samsung did not immediately respond when CNET reache...

Since it debuted in 2013, Adult Swim’s show Rick and Morty has become a massive hit. Earlier today, Comedy Central and series co-creator Justin Roiland announced that they’re making another 70 — that’s right, 70 — episodes. The animated science fiction show is a staple of Comedy Central’s Adult Swim; it follows Rick, a brilliant-but-cynical alcoholic scientist and his impressionable grandson, Morty, as they embark on a variety of zany adventures across the multiverse. Comedy Central didn’t announce when the series would resume, and Roiland noted that he’s anticipating the deluge of tweets from the show’s fans, asking when season 4 will arrive. While there was just over a year between seasons 1 and 2, that hiatus extended for nearly two years between seasons 2 and 3 (with one episode released months earlier, on April 1st, 2017). At the end of season 3, one character broke the fourth wall, telling the audience that they’ll “see ya in season 4 in, like, a really long time.”...

YouTube has rolled out high dynamic range (HDR) to users of the iPhone X, enabling improved contrast and color on HDR-enabled YouTube videos. As spotted by Macrumors, videos like those from the popular HDR Channel, are now able to be viewed in HDR mode. Neither the iPhone X nor the Apple TV are able to output the videos in 4K, however. Not to be confused with HDR for photography, high dynamic range for video and TVs expands the range of both contrast and color significantly. Bright parts of the image can get much brighter, so the image seems to have more "depth." Colors get expanded to show more bright blues, greens, reds and everything in between. OLED-powered screens like the one on the iPhone X are particularly adept at showing HDR. The HDR capability isn't stated in the release notes for the latest 13.17 update which only lists "General fixes and stability improvements". YouTube is the latest company to enable HDR for the iPhone X after N...

Facebook   is making some updates to its Live video platform which should streamline the process of getting a stream set up and in front of the widest possible audience. The company notes in a blog post that the daily average of Live streams from verified Pages is up 1.5x this year over the past year. In addition to the updates to the Live API, Facebook has also announced that they’re testing a rewind feature for the Live video, something that has previously been unavailable. Facebook is going to begin allowing Live videos to be “crossposted” to multiple Pages at the same time. That means if an organization or publisher has multiple Pages where a single Facebook Live video could be featured, they’ll be able to send it to all of them live as an original post without having to re-share one sent by the main account manually. The crossposting feature will allow publishers to more easily reach broader audiences without going through a bunch of unnecessary steps. It’s something...

Facebook   has announced it has stopped accepting ads paid for by foreign entities that are related to a referendum vote in Ireland later this month, saying it’s acting to try to prevent outsiders from attempting to skew the vote. The referendum will decide whether to repeal or retain Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion. “Concerns have been raised about organisations and individuals based outside of Ireland trying to influence the outcome of the referendum on the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Ireland by buying ads on Facebook. This is an issue we have been thinking about for some time,” the company writes today on its Dublin blog. “Today, as part of our efforts to help protect the integrity of elections and referendums from undue influence, we will begin rejecting ads related to the referendum if they are being run by advertisers based outside of Ireland.” Facebook says it’s stopping foreign-funded ads because additional ad transparency and election...

Buried inside Twitter’s   Android app is a “Secret conversation” option that if launched would allow users to send encrypted direct messages. The feature could make Twitter a better a home for sensitive communications that often end up on encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Telegram, or WhatsApp. The encyrpted DMs option was first spotted inside the Twitter for Android application package (APK) by Jane Manchun Wong. APKs often contain code for unlaunched features that companies are quietly testing or will soon make available. A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment on the record. It’s unclear how long it might be before Twitter officially launches the feature, but at least we know it’s been built. The appearance of encrypted DMs comes 18 months after whistleblower Edward Snowden asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for the feature, which Dorsey said was “reasonable and something we’ll think about”. Twitter has gone from “thinking about” the feature to prototyping it...
