NASA pays out $51 million to small businesses with big ideas - TechCrunch

NASA has announced its latest batch of small business grants, providing more than 300 businesses a total of $51 million in crucial early-stage funding. These “phase I” projects receive up to $125,000 to help bring new technologies to market.

The Small Business Innovation Research/Technology Transfer programs help entrepreneurs and inventors transition their work from lab to commercial availability. The money is like a grant, not an investment, and Phase I recipients are eligible for larger Phase II grants if they’re warranted.

This year’s selections, as always, cover dozens of disciplines and apply to a wide range of industries. Among NASA’s own highlights in a news release are high-power solar arrays, a smart air traffic control system for urban flight, a water purification system for use on the moon and improved lithium-ion batteries.

There’s even one award for a company making “a compact sterilizer for use on spacecraft materials” that could also be employed by health workers.

Perusing the lists I was struck by the number of neuromorphic computing efforts, from radiation-hardened chips to software techniques. I take these to be chips and approaches that utilize and accelerate machine learning methods, rather than attempts at computers that truly employ the spikes and plasticity of actual neuronal networks.

The 2020 Phase II announcements won’t come for a while — NASA just released 2019’s last month.

The SBIR program is one of the federal government’s inadvertently best-kept secrets, with billions allocated to a dozen agencies to distribute to small businesses. You can learn more at SBIR.gov.

Report: Call of Duty Warzone to Follow Apex Legends and PUBG with New Feature - Essentially Sports

Season 4 of Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare has quickly gained momentum after launching earlier this month. A new season meant fresh content in the form of new Operators, weapons, a Battle Pass, and in-game changes. Today, June 30, Activision and Infinity Ward rolled out another substantial update, dubbed Season 4 Reloaded, injecting more content and adjustments.

An increased player count of 200 players for Battle Royale Quads, along with a new multiplayer map, and a deadly sniper rifle are the most significant additions. A new update also means Call of Duty fanatics looking into the updated game files to predict future in-game changes or events.

Apart from a few underground bunkers unlocking, nothing much has appeared on Verdansk during the last month. Now, new information has emerged hinting at the addition of a feature in Warzone that is popular across other battle royales. According to ModernWarzone, a credible Call of Duty leaker on Twitter, a train is coming to Warzone in the future.

Just like in Apex Legends, a train might be coming to Call of Duty Warzone

The Call of Duty leaked recently tweeted out the new intel after the Season 4 Reloaded update hit servers. The information from ModernWarzone is based on updated game files. In his tweet, he assures the upcoming introduction of a train in Infinity Ward’s battle royale.

Based on the new info from tonight’s update of ModernWarfare, we can pretty much confirm the upcoming addition of a train in Warzone“. According to him, this train will be stacked with loot. Predictably enough, it also has the potential to send players to the Gulag or back to the lobby as well.

Navigating trains are a fan-favorite feature of other battle royale games out there. Apex Legends has a train stacked with sweet loot that navigates across a portion of World’s End. PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds also has similar loot carrying trains that transit across Vikendi.

After the initial Season 4 update, leaks shed light on potential map changes in Warzone. Enthusiastic leakers had found the mentions of a new interior for Verdansk’s Stadium and a train in the game files.

ModernWarzone also thinks the upcoming Warzone train might be the basis for a multiplayer map. However, he hasn’t specified a time frame for the upcoming addition.

Currently, train tracks are laid out on a portion of the Warzone map, constituting a route. Moreover, with navigating trains being a popular feature of other battle royales, the addition of a train in Warzone seems feasible.

The new update has just gone live today, and more information from the game files will unfold as always. For now, nothing remains concrete, as ultimately Infinity Ward and Activision are the ones who decide to pump new content into the game with timely updates. Meanwhile, we’ll keep you posted with further developments.

Netgear now has a slightly less expensive Wi-Fi 6 Orbi mesh router - The Verge

Netgear is launching a second model of its Orbi mesh router with support for Wi-Fi 6, following up on a high-end model released last fall. This new version, eloquently named the RBK752, is more of a midrange model, offering slightly decreased performance at a slightly decreased price. This is still an Orbi router, though, so it’s still expensive: $450 for a router and satellite. The high-end model, the RBK852, offers the same bundle for $700.

While cheaper, this new model is still a fairly capable mesh system. The RBK752 is a tri-band system, meaning it has a radio dedicated to serving as a wireless link between the units, and it offers four user-facing streams of connectivity with a theoretical maximum speed of 4.2Gbps. That’s down from eight streams and 6Gbps on the RBK852.

The Orbi system has consistently received high marks for its reliability and performance. It comes with some downsides, though: the mesh nodes are significantly larger than those from competitors like Eero and Nest, making them harder to hide around the house. These particular models are also a lot more expensive: you can get a Wi-Fi 5 mesh system for half the price, though it’d be a less future-proofed.

Netgear is formally launching the RBK752 today, though it’s been rolling out to stores over the last month or two. Additional satellites will be available for $280, and there’ll be a $600 bundle with a router and two satellites. An important note for existing Orbi owners: you can mix and match Wi-Fi 6 Orbi units — so the RBK852 can connect to the RBK752 — but you can’t link one of these newer Orbi units to the older Wi-Fi 5 Orbi units. That won’t matter for new buyers, but it means existing owners won’t be able to improve their system by adding in a newer unit.

In addition to the new Orbi model, Netgear also recently launched a new Nighthawk router designed to sit in the middle of its lineup. The RAX50 is a six-stream Wi-Fi 6 router with support for full-width 160MHz streams for higher performance. It’s available now for $299.

Alyssa Milano claps back at critics accusing her of blackface - Daily Mail

Alyssa Milano claps back at critics accusing her of blackface and reveals she was actually playing SNOOKI in a 2013 Jersey Shore parody

Alyssa Milano has fired back at critics trying to take the activist actress down over a 'blackface' video.

The Charmed star, 47, took to Twitter to slam the accusation that she was being racially insensitive in a 2013 Funny or Die video.

Milano asserted that she was 'parodying Jersey Shore and Snookie’s tan' in the video, during which her face was significantly darkened.

'Snookie’s tan (she is a sweetheart by the way) is worthy of parodying as is Trump’s “tan”.'

'So go f*** yourselves with your smear campaign.'

It accompanied an image from an article by conservative publication LifeZette.

However a link to the original video proved that Alyssa was indeed portraying reality TV star Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi.

The Jersey Shore actress is known in part for her distinctive tan.

The sketch was a parody of a Dove brand commercial which showed how the beauty industry manipulates images to set unrealistic beauty standards for women.

However in the FOD video, Milano was made up and styled to resemble Snooki, with the punchline being that Snooki's tan and body had been manipulated to 'distort' perceptions of New Jersey, where her show is set.

'Take notice of who they are targeting & what is trending. Are they trying to hurt Trump’s most vocal critics? Yup.' 

'The misinformation campaign has begun. Be vigilant in what you post on social media. Truth still matters.'

The actress has long been a vocal Trump critic.

New ‘EvilQuest’ Mac ransomware found in pirated apps encrypts users files - 9to5Mac

Mac users are now exposed to a new “EvilQuest” ransomware that encrypts files and causes multiple issues to the operating system. Malwarebytes has analyzed the ransomware today, which is being distributed through macOS pirate apps.

The malicious code was first found in a pirate copy of the Little Snitch app available on a Russian forum with torrent links. The downloaded app comes with a PKG installer file, unlike its original version.

By examining this PKG file, Malwarebytes discovered that the app comes with a “postinstall script,” which is typically used to clean up the installation after the process is completed. In this case, however, the script implements a malware to the macOS.

The script file is copied to a folder related to the Little Snitch app under the name CrashReporter, so the user won’t notice it running in the Activity Monitor since macOS has an internal app with a similar name. The set location is: /Library/LittleSnitchd/CrashReporter.

Malwarebytes notes that it takes some time before the ransomware starts working after it’s installed, so the user won’t associate it with the latest app installed. Once the malicious code is activated, it modifies system and user files with unknown encryption.

Part of the encryption causes the Finder not to work properly and the system crashes constantly. Even the system’s Keychain gets corrupted, so it’s impossible to access passwords and certificates saved on the Mac. A message on the screen says the user must pay $50 to recover its files, otherwise everything will be deleted after three days.

There’s still no way to get rid of malware after it has encrypted the files, so users should keep an updated backup of everything.

The best way of avoiding the consequences of ransomware is to maintain a good set of backups. Keep at least two backup copies of all important data, and at least one should not be kept attached to your Mac at all times. (Ransomware may try to encrypt or damage backups on connected drives.)

Although the ransomware is only included with pirated apps for now, Apple must fix this security flaw as quickly as possible since this malicious code can be included in more apps.

The Academy Invites 819 New Members, Including Awkwafina, Cynthia Erivo, Ari Aster, and More - IndieWire

It’s been a year of change for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which has responded not only to the pandemic, pushing back the global ABC Oscars telecast from February 28 to April 25, 2021 — setting a new award season calendar as other award shows have followed suit — but the urgency of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In its continuing push to swell the Academy membership ranks, 819 artists and executives from 68 countries have been invited to join this year. The branches have increasingly actively sought eligible people to become Academy members, but the Board of Governors makes the final call. People from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities (36 percent) and women (45 percent) are among the many invites, as the Academy continues to address its long-term white-male dominance. As always, actors make up the largest branch of the Academy, but many new members (49 percent) also come from overseas.

In 2019, the Academy invited 842 new members, swelling its ranks since 2015 from 6,446 to 8594 voters. The rate of change has been increasing as the Academy sought to meet its A2020 goal of doubling the number of women and people of color in its membership. In 2015, Academy membership was about 25 percent female, and as of 2020 has reached 33 percent, while people from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities grew from ten percent to 19.

Having exceeded its A2020 goals, the Academy now shifts to a new diversity initiative for the next five years, Aperture 2025, which will use Oscar eligibility as a wedge to encourage Hollywood producers and executives to follow inclusion standards set by the Academy, or risk not being Oscar eligible.

Fifteen Oscar winners are among the new invited members, including songwriter Bernie Taupin (“Rocket Man”) and animator Matthew A. Cherry (“Hair Love”), 81 are Oscar nominees, including Ladj Ly (“Les Miserables”), Florence Pugh (“Little Women”), and dual nominee Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”). Seven of the 17 branches invited more women than men.

In a controversial shift, on June 29 the Academy announced that agent members will now be allowed to vote, something they’ve been trying to achieve for decades. Twenty-six invited agents can now be proud members-at-large.

If the new member class of 2020 accepts their invites, Academy voters will grow from 8,594 to 9,412 (total 2019 Academy membership was 9551).

Among the other notable invites: many Spanish-speakers, including Yalitza Aparicio (“Roma”), Ana de Armas (“Blade Runner 2049”), and multiple Asian stars including Awkwafina (“The Farewell”), Choi Woo-Shik (“Parasite”), and Constance Wu (“Hustlers”). Many TV names who also work in movies landed invites, including Zendaya Coleman (“Euphoria”), Ben Mendelsohn (“The Outsider”), and Ryan Murphy (“Hollywood”).

Invites from the comedy side include Zack Gottsagen (“The Peanut Butter Falcon”), who is believed to be the first actor with Down Syndrome invited into the Academy. New directors asked to join include indie creators like Ari Aster (“Midsommar”), Mati Diop (“Atlantics”), Robert Eggers (“The Lighthouse”), Alma Har’el (“Honey Boy”), Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”), and Wash Westmoreland (“Still Alice”).

Among the indies long overdue for Academy membership are composer Michael Nyman (“The Piano”) and Cuban jazz musician Arturo Sandoval; documentarians David France (“How to Survive a Plague”), Linda Goldstein Knowlton (“We Are the Radical Monarchs”), and Richard Ladkani (“Sea of Shadows”); producers Pippa Harris (“1917”) and Alicia Van Couvering (“Cop Car”); publicists Brooke Blumberg, Amy Grey, Stephen Huvane, Allison Jackson, Charles McDonald, Ken Sunshine, Albert Tello, and Spencer Peoples; writers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (“Ford v Ferrari”), Shane Carruth (“Upstream Color”), Julia Hart (“Fast Color”), and Krysty Wilson-Cairns (“1917”); and film festival directors John Cooper of Sundance and Thierry Fremaux of Cannes, who are members at large. Invites also included recent movie executives Jennifer Salke (Amazon Studios) and Ann Sarnoff (Warner Bros.).

There's a new 'EvilQuest' Mac ransomware variant that's spreading through pirated Mac apps, according to a new report shared today by Malwarebytes. The new ransomware was found in pirated download for the Little Snitch app found on a Russian forum.


Right from the point of download, it was clear that something was wrong with the illicit version of Little Snitch, as it had a generic installer package. It installed the actual version of Little Snitch, but it also installed an executable file named "Patch" into the /Users/Shared directory and a post-install script for infecting a machine.

The installation script moves the Patch file into a new location and renames it CrashReporter, a legitimate macOS process, keeping it hidden in Activity Monitor. From there, the Patch file installs itself in several spots on the Mac.

The ransomware encrypts settings and data files on the Mac, like Keychain files, resulting in an error when attempting to access the iCloud Keychain. The Finder also malfunctioned after installation, and there were problems with the dock and other apps.

Malwarebytes found the ransomware to work poorly and was not able to get instructions on paying the ransom, but a screenshot found on the forums where the malicious software originated suggests it's meant to prompt users to pay $50 to recover access to their files. Note: anyone infected with this ransomware or any ransomware should not pay the fee, because it does not remove the malware.

Along with the ransom activity, the malware may also install a keylogger for monitoring keystrokes, but what the malware does with the functionality is unknown. Malwarebytes says that its software for Mac is able to remove the ransomware, detected as Ransom.OSX.EvilQuest. Encrypted files will require a restore from a backup, though.

Similar ransomware was found in other pirated apps, and Mac users can avoid it by staying away from pirated apps and untrustworthy websites and forums that offer illicit downloads.

Mel Brooks pays tribute to 'best friend' Carl Reiner: 'I loved him' - Fox News

Mel Brooks paid tribute to his good friend and fellow comedy legend Carl Reiner, who passed away Monday at age 98.

Reiner’s assistant Judy Nagy confirmed to Fox News he died Monday night of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Brooks released a statement released on Tuesday addressing the loss of his former colleague.

"Carl was a giant, unmatched in his contributions to entertainment," Brooks wrote. "He created comedy gems like 'The Dick Van Dyke Show,' 'The Jerk,' and /Where's Poppa?' I met him in 1950 when he joined Sid Caesar on 'Your Show of Shows,' and we've been best friends ever since. I loved him."

CELEBRITIES PAY TRIBUTE CARL REINER FOLLOWING NEWS OF HIS DEATH: 'HE LEAVES US WITH SO MUCH LAUGHTER'

He continued, "When we were doing 'The 2000 Year Old Man' together there was no better straight man in the world. So whether he wrote or performed or he was just your best friend -- nobody could do it better. He'll be greatly missed. A tired cliché in times like this, but in Carl Reiner's case it's absolutely true. He will be greatly missed."

Throughout his legendary career in show business, Reiner earned countless awards, including several Emmys and a Grammy for best spoken comedy album alongside Mel Brooks for their album “The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000.”

Best known for creating "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Reiner has 100 acting credits on both the big screen and small screen over the years including "Mad About You," "Two and a Half Men," "Toy Story 4," and the "Ocean's Eleven" trilogy.

‘DICK VAN DYKE SHOW’ CREATOR CARL REINER SAYS HE CELEBRATED TURNING 97 ‘BY STAYING ALIVE’

“When asked, ‘Of all the theatrical projects you’ve done in your life, what are you most proud of?’ I always say, hands down, it’s creating and producing ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show.’ It was a labor of love,” Reiner told Fox News in a statement in 2019.

Tributes from Hollywood have been pouring in to honor the comedy legend.

"Last night my dad passed away. As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light," Reiner's actor-filmmaker son Rob Reiner tweeted.

"Very sad to awake to the news that @carlreiner has passed.  There will forever only be one of him. May his memory be forever blessed.  He leaves us with so much laughter. My heart goes out to @robreiner and the entire Reiner family," wrote Ed Asner.

"My friend Carl Reiner died last night. His talent will live on for a long time, but the loss of his kindness and decency leaves a hole in our hearts. We love you, Carl," Alan Alda said.

Carl Reiner, Comedy Legend and ‘Dick Van Dyke Show’ Creator, Dies at 98 - Variety

Carl Reiner, the writer, producer, director and actor who was part of Sid Caesar’s legendary team and went on to create “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and direct several hit films, has died. He was 98.

He died of natural causes on Monday night at his home in Beverly Hills, his assistant Judy Nagy confirmed to Variety.

Reiner, the father of filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner, was the winner of nine Emmy awards, including five for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” His most popular films as a director included “Oh God,” starring George Burns, in 1977; “The Jerk,” with Steve Martin, in 1979; and “All of Me,” with Martin and Lily Tomlin, in 1984.

Rob Reiner tweeted on Tuesday morning, “Last night my dad passed away. As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light.”

In his later years, Reiner was an elder statesman of comedy, revered and respected for his versatility as a performer and multi-hyphenate. He was also adept at social media. He maintained a lively presence on Twitter up until the last day of his life. He was vocal in his opposition to President Donald Trump.

Reiner remained in the public eye well into his 80s and 90s with roles in the popular “Ocean’s Eleven” trio of films and on TV with recurring roles on sitcoms “Two and a Half Men” and “Hot in Cleveland.” He also did voice work for shows including “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” “King of the Hill,” and “Bob’s Burgers.”

In 2017, Carl Reiner, his longtime friend and frequent comedy partner Mel Brooks, Norman Lear, Kirk Douglas and other nonagenarian Hollywood legends were featured in the HBO documentary “If You’re Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast,” examining the secrets of longevity in a fickle industry.

Reiner first came to prominence as a regular cast member of Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows,” for which he won two Emmys in 1956 and 1957 in the supporting category. He met Brooks during his time with Caesar. The two went on to have a long-running friendship and comedy partnership through the recurring “2000 Year Old Man” sketches.

Before creating CBS hit “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” on which he sometimes appeared, Reiner and “Show of Shows” writer Mel Brooks worked up an elongated skit in which Reiner played straight man-interviewer to Brooks’ “2000 Year Old Man”; a 1961 recording of the skit was an immediate hit and spawned several sequels, the last of which, 1998’s “The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000,” won the pair a Grammy.

Producer-director Max Liebman, who cast him in the 1950 Broadway show “Alive and Kicking,” also hired Reiner as the emcee and a performer on NBC’s comedy/variety program “Your Show of Shows.”

Reiner then freelanced as a panel show emcee on “Keep Talking,” as a TV guest star and in featured film roles in “The Gazebo,” “Happy Anniversary” and “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.” Reiner’s 1958 novel “Enter Laughing,” loosely based on his own experiences, was optioned for the stage by producer David Merrick. Reiner did a legit adaptation in 1963 and then directed the film version in 1967, marking his motion picture directing debut.

For Broadway he wrote and directed the farce “Something Different,” which ran for a few months in 1967-68; helmed “Tough to Get Help” in 1972; penned the book for the musical “So Long, 174th Street,” which had a very brief run in 1976; and directed “The Roast” in 1980.

In 1961 Reiner drew on his experiences with Caesar to create and produce “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” a ratings cornerstone for CBS for the next five years. Reiner made guest appearances as the irascible variety show host Alan Brady. The show won Emmys for writing its first three years and for producing its last two. In 1967, Reiner picked up another Emmy for his writing in a reunion variety show with Caesar, Coca and Morris.

Though the “Enter Laughing” movie was modestly received, Reiner continued to direct steadily over the next few decades. “Where’s Poppa?,” an offbeat comedy he directed in 1970, became a cult favorite. Similarly, two other Martin vehicles, the gumshoe spoof “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” and “The Man With Two Brains,” found bigger audiences after their release in theaters.

There were also several less-than-successful films, such as 1969’s “The Comic,” to which Reiner also contributed some of the script; two similarly titled mid-’80s misfires, “Summer Rental” and “Summer School”; “Bert Rigby, You’re a Fool”; 1990’s “Sibling Rivalry”; and a 1993 spoof of “Basic Instinct” called “Fatal Instinct.” He also appeared in most of these pics.

While the last film he directed was the 1997 romantic comedy “That Old Feeling,” starring Bette Midler and Dennis Farina, Reiner was an active presence in guest roles on television and in supporting roles in films during the 1990s and 2000s, even as he neared and then surpassed his 90th birthday.

He guested on “Frasier” in 1993; reprised the role of Alan Brady on an episode of “Mad About You” in 1995 and won an Emmy for it; and guested on “Ally McBeal,” “Boston Legal” and “House.”

Bigscreen appearances included 1990’s “The Spirit of ’76,” directed by his son Lucas; “Slums of Beverly Hills” (1998); and all three films in the “Ocean’s Eleven” series.

Born in the Bronx, he graduated from high school at 16 and worked as a machinist while studying acting. After brief stints in summer stock and on the Borscht Belt circuit, he entered the Army during WWII. His acting talents brought him to the attention of Maurice Evans’ special services unit, where Reiner first met future “Show of Shows” cohort Howard Morris. For the remainder of the war he toured South Pacific bases in G.I. revues.

He hit the ground running in New York after the war, landing a part in G.I. revue “Call Me Mister” and in 1948 appeared in the Broadway musical revue “Inside U.S.A.,” starring Beatrice Lillie and Jack Haley. Concurrently he was appearing on television as a fashion photographer in ABC’s “Fashion Story.”

In early 1950, Reiner became part of the storied team working in front of and behind the camera on Caesar’s NBC variety show “Your Show of Shows,” a 90-minute comedy-variety show that aired live on Saturday nights. The writers room was packed with future showbiz legends including Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Mel Tolkin and Lucille Kallen.

After “Your Show of Shows” ended in 1954, Reiner and series regular Howard Morris moved on with Caesar to star in another NBC variety show, “Caesar’s Hour,” which ran on NBC from 1954 to 1957. When Reiner decided to shepherd his own sitcom, he teamed with producers Danny Thomas and Sheldon Leonard to produce “Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Van Dyke was the fourth partner in the production company Calvada, which has long maintained ownership of the classic comedy. “Dick Van Dyke Show” featured Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore as Rob and Laura Petrie, a version of Reiner and his wife Estelle living in the suburbs of New Rochelle while Reiner commuted to Manhattan to work on Caesar’s shows.

In 1995 Reiner received the Writers Guild’s Laurel Award, a lifetime achievement award for a career in TV writing. In 2000 he won the Mark Twain Prize for Humor, presented by the Kennedy Center. In 2009 he was presented with the WGA’s Valentine Davies Award, recognizing both his writing legacy and valued service to the guild, the entertainment industry and community at large.

He authored several memoirs and novels, including a sequel to “Enter Laughing,” “Continue Laughing,” “My Anecdotal Life” and “I Remember Me.”

In the 2003 “My Anecdotal Life,” he observed, “Inviting people to laugh with you while you are laughing at yourself is a good thing to do. You may be a fool but you’re the fool in charge.”

Reiner’s wife Estelle, to whom he had been married since 1943, died in 2008. In addition to Rob Reiner, survivors include his daughter Sylvia Anne and son Lucas.
