ادامه مطلب Apple Music and Tidal have leaned on exclusives as the battle to catch up to Spotify's lead in subscribers. Taylor Martin/CNET The rivalry between the subscription music giants may be tu ing bitter. Spotify has been penalizing some artists who provide music exclusively to its main competitor, Apple Music, according to a Bloomberg report. Citing unnamed people familiar with the practices, the report said Spotify search results bury tunes by artists who give their material to Apple Music first. The company also wa ed acts it will exclude Apple-exclusive music from featured Spotify playlists once it's available to stream there, the report said. A spokeswoman for Spotify said statements about burying search ...
ادامه مطلب In mid-June, Dave Jackson bought a Frito-Lay variety pack through AmazonFresh for $10.44. When he retu ed to the Amazon mobile app soon after, it coaxed him to purchase more of the snacks through its "Buy It Again" feature. But the very same variety pack under the "Buy It Again" banner didn't cost $10.44. It was $22.94. The same thing happened after buying Snickers bars for 89 cents apiece on AmazonFresh, Amazon's grocery delivery service. Yet again, Amazon invited him to buy more, but for $4.95 each, more than five times the previous price. What was happening? Jackson, a web administrator in San Jose, Califo ia, believes he found a handful of bugs on Amazon after it recently combined the listings on its main website and on AmazonFresh. These potential bugs aren't just bothersome -- ...
ادامه مطلب RoadshowNewsCar IndustryAmazon offers up car advice with Amazon VehiclesEnlarge ImageA screenshot of an Amazon Vehicles detail page. Amazon Amazon is gearing up its car knowledge.No, the e-commerce jugge aut still isn't selling cars -- not yet, anyway. Instead, the company on Thursday launched a new webpage called Amazon Vehicles that helps customers research new and classic cars.Amazon Vehicles could help solidify Amazon's place as the search engine for shopping.

That way, Amazon can condition shoppers to keep coming back to...

ادامه مطلب [embedded content] Even if you might be suffering from Pokemon Go overload, this video of a musician playing the Pokemon theme song on flaming bagpipes while dressed as the Pokemon creature Charmander is very impressive. Considering the Charmander has a tail that can produce fire, it makes sense that the bagpipes used to play the Pokemon theme also ignite with flames.The talented musician who made this tribute possible is Brian Kidd -- best known as The Unipiper -- from Portland, Oregon. This isn't the first time The Unipiper has paid homage to something geeky. Earlier in the year, he dressed up as Superman and taunted Batman by playing his bagpipes and riding around on his unicycle. The Unipiper also wore a Darth Vader costume and played the S...
ادامه مطلب "Endless" is exclusively streaming on Apple Music. Screenshot/Xiomara Blanco The wait for a new Frank Ocean album is over -- kind of.Early Friday mo ing the artist released a visual album, "Endless," exclusively on Apple Music. Currently, it's only available to stream as a 45-minute long video, not as a typical audio-only album with individual tracks.The project was heavily teased, thanks to a mysterious live stream that unceremoniously debuted two weeks ago. It answers a few questions curious fans have patiently waited for (he really was building some type of staircase), but, it doesn't quite answer the most important question -- where's the new album? There's no official wo...

Ecobee Last year, Amazon established the $100 million dollar "Alexa Fund" for developers and manufacturers both large and small.

Now, the online mega-retailer is ponying up for its biggest investment yet and joining in on a$35 million-dollar funding round for the makers of the Ecobee smart thermostat.

ادامه مطلب Jet.com has landed at Walmart. Jet.com Walmart is hoping its acquisition of startup Jet.com takes its own online presence to new heights. The retail giant said Monday it has acquired Jet.com in a stock and cash deal worth $3 billion. The deal underscores the competitive nature of the online retail business, where Amazon dominates and Walmart, the largest brick-and-mortar retail in the US, plays second fiddle. Walmart is apparently expecting that Jet.com, which saw early hype as a possible "Amazon-killer," can even the playing field. "Walmart.com will grow faster, the seamless shopping experience we're pursuing will happen quicker, and we'll enable the Jet brand to be even more successful in a shorter period...
ادامه مطلب Will Release Radar be as successful as the popular Discover Weekly playlist? Spotify Spotify's hit a certain groove with its algorithm-driven playlists like Discover Weekly. The music streaming service regularly unearths songs and artists listeners might have missed.Now, Spotify is applying that same idea to new releases with a feature called Release Radar, the company said in a blog post Friday. Release Radar, available today, is a personalized playlist that updates every Friday with 1-2 hours of tracks from new releases, culled from the past few weeks. Spotify says the more you listen, the better the playlist gets. "With the huge amount of new music released every week, it can be difficult to keep up with...
ادامه مطلب Thanks a lot, Steven Spielberg and John Williams, for forever creeping us out about sharks. Spielberg's 1975 movie "Jaws" wouldn't have been quite as terrifying without Williams' "duunnn dunnn" music, and we all know it. Now a study published Wednesday in the jou al PLOS One has quantified our quivering. Researchers from UC San Diego and Harvard showed 2,100 people a shark clip from the BBC's "Blue Planet" documentary series and either set it to ominous or uplifting music or let it run silently. "Participants who viewed a video clip set to ominous music rated sharks more negatively and less positively than those who watched the same clip set to uplifting music or to silence," the researchers wrote. Why does it matter? Researchers think documentary makers should choose their...

ادامه مطلب There are plenty of things in my house that I yell at. Some of them answer back these days, though, and even do what I ask. My dog is still a work in progress as far as that goes, but my Amazon Echo has just about nailed it. The Echo is a device that uses speech recognition to perform an ever-growing range of tasks on command. Amazon calls the built-in brains of this device "Alexa," and she* is the thing that makes it work.Alexa is a smart cookie: if I say "Alexa, play some Pink Floyd", she will find some Floyd and start playing it over the built-in speaker of the Echo. If I say "Alexa, what's the weather?" she will calmly tell me that it is too damn hot in Boston. How does she do this? The answer is that Alexa is a bit of a cheat: take the Echo apart and you'll find little more than a few...

Tyler Lizenby/CNET Amazon wants more gaming options for its voice-powered virtual assistant Alexa, and today, it's introducing a new set of tools that'll make it easier for developers to bring them to life.

ادامه مطلب If Spotify is too expensive and your tastes don't get much more adventurous than Coldplay, Amazon Music wants to be the music-streaming service for you. It might not have as many songs as rivals, but Amazon says you don't need them when you have the rest of Amazon Prime at your fingertips.Launched in the US in 2014 and the UK in 2015, Amazon Music is the retail giant's streaming service that comes bundled with Amazon Prime.

I throw a set in my bag every mo ing to fight the sound of shrilly subway trains, noisy construction crews and that saxophone busker guy who always manages to find my subway car.Muting the world might sound like bliss, but to walk around a busy city with only four senses in use is a dangerous game. They might be annoying, but some noises you actually need to hear, like a car ho or a siren.Granted, some headphones like the Master & Dynamic MH40s have a manual pass-through button that mutes your music, but the industry needs to do better before someone actually gets h...
