Tom Brady’s professional life, officially, at least, is expected to go on as we’ve grown accustomed — he’ll suit up for his 23rd NFL season Sunday when his Tampa Bay Bucs visit the Dallas Cowboys. Tom Brady’s personal life, officially, at least, is mostly a mystery. There were some tangible developments this offseason, including retirement and unretirement, the skipping of spring work, the starring role in a Miami tampering scandal and the 11-day training camp (excused) absence …… Source link

Will Android and Apple ever play nice? Photo: Florence Ion / Gizmodo This week, alongside a massive unveiling of brand new foldable devices and accessories from Samsung, Google put out its own ad campaign in an attempt to rally the troops against Apple’s tyrannical reign on messaging. Google’s #getthemessage campaign hopes to stoke the flames of millions of bothered Android fans so that Apple might be encouraged to support RCS messaging, the cross-platform standard recently adopted by… Source link

Google is kicking off a new publicity campaign today to pressure Apple into adopting RCS, the cross-platform messaging protocol that’s meant to be a successor to the aging SMS and MMS standards. The search giant has a new “Get The Message” website that lays out a familiar set of arguments for why Apple should support the standard, revolving around smoother messaging between iPhone and Android devices. Naturally, there’s also a #GetTheMessage hashtag to really get those viral… Source link

Google’s proposed program to help keep campaign emails out of users’ spam folders wouldn’t violate campaign finance laws, the Federal Election Commission said Wednesday. Driving the news: Google in June asked the commission to rule on whether its plan would be considered a sort of contribution to politcial campaigns, as Axios reported. The FEC’s draft answer says it would be lawful for Google to offer the pilot program to eligible participants. The commission still has to vote to adopt this… Source link

James Howells was doing some housecleaning in 2013 when he mistakenly threw out a hard drive that contained 8,000 Bitcoin he had mined. At the time, it was a mistake that cost him anywhere from $108,000 to $8.6 million depending on when he tossed the drive (2013 was a particularly volatile year for Bitcoin). That’s enough to make anyone kick themselves. Bitcoin, though, has only gotten more expensive, meaning Howells’ losses have continued to grow. Even with the recent crypto winter, they… Source link

“I should be on a postage stamp, because that’s the only way I’ll ever get licked,” Muhammad Ali once said. Peter Villegas, the chairman of the California State Athletic Commission, joined the board of the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky, in February. An avowed Ali fan, he’d even named his daughter, Alisandra, or Ali, for short, after the champ. Lonnie Ali, Muhammad’s widow, was traveling to California in April and arranged to meet Villegas. She traveled to his Los… Source link

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – It’s not every day that people check their spam folders – but it could be the destination for dozens of campaign emails intended for your inbox. A North Carolina State University study found that Google has been sending 68 percent of Republican campaign emails to spam – while just 8 percent of Democratic ones met the same fate. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) is introducing a bill called the “Political BIAS Email Act” that would ban big tech from filtering campaign emails

Google and Yelp appear to have suspended the ability to post reviews for some crisis pregnancy centers listed on those platforms, which some activists say could prevent them from providing accurate information about the centers which are known for attempting to persuade women seeking abortions to not get them. Google appears to have also suspended the ability to post reviews of some abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. The suspension of the ability to post reviews was first noticed by… Source link

Google has asked the Federal Election Commission to green light a program that could keep campaign emails from ending up in spam folders, according to a filing obtained by Axios. Why it matters: Google has come under fire that its algorithms unfairly target conservative content across its services, and that its Gmail service filters more Republican fundraising and campaign emails to spam. Republican leadership introduced a bill this month that would require platforms to share how their… Source link

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Speaking to students at the University of Virginia on Tuesday night, former Vice President Mike Pence sounded like a man comfortable in his own skin. He laughed his way past a questioner who wanted him to sign a Joe Biden tank top. And when asked what he would say to one of his children if they came out as gay, Pence replied, “I would look him in the eye and say, ‘I love you.’” He was even humorous at times, flashing some of the dry, deadpan “dad humor” that… Source link
