Gizmodo reports San Francisco and Alameda counties in California have stopped using Verily to test for the novel coronavirus. Google's health-centered sister company launched a $55 million pilot COVID-19 testing program earlier this year to set up mobile and stationary test sites. However, Verily’s services weren’t geared towards filling the needs of communities especially vulnerable to the pandemic. Specifically, the services put people of color, those with low income, and the homeless at a disadvantage for using Verily's site and accessing test results. Another complaint was that Verily reserves the right to use collected data for 'commercial product research and development.' While Verily says strict privacy controls are in place, critics say the system may still violate federal health data privacy laws.
Producer Dan Lin has admitted the team behind the live-action remake of 'Aladdin' never imagined they would receive such a massive backlash over the Genie.
This £30 dongle makes any TV smart, as long as you have a spare HDMI input. Here's our video review of the Google Chromecast.
Sometimes, the best products are the ones that are the simplest. Google's Chromecast, an HDMI dongle that lets you "cast" videos, music and apps to a TV or computer display using a phone, tablet or computer, is one of those products. At $35, it became an instant hit with consumers when it was released two years ago and went on to sell over 20 million units globally. It was the best-selling media streaming device in 2014, according to analyst group NPD, besting more powerful and pricier set-top boxes like the Apple TV and Roku. The new Chromecast doesn't mess with the original's successful formula. It's got a new design and a faster processor and Wi-Fi, and the dongle now comes in colors other than black, but it's still a Chromecast.
