Google Hangouts upgrade removes ability to host Google Voice calls on your computer
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Google new Hangouts messaging service is quite impressive — it takes Google’s old and neglected Talk service and upgrades it with always-on communication, support for images, video calling, and much more. But for all of the improved service that Hangouts offers, if you upgrade the Google Talk service within Gmail to Hangouts (by selecting the “Try the new Hangouts” option in Talk’s menu), you lose some significant features — namely the ability to set your availability status and, more importantly, the ability to place or receive Google Voice calls from within Gmail. Essentially, the new Hangouts removes the option to host a Google Voice call on your computer, something that many users find convenient and necessary in their day to day…

Netflix removes streaming expiration dates from API after ‘Streampocalypse’ hysteria
Author: Ian Simpson
The end of April suddenly became very stressful for Netflix subscribers, as it was widely reported that nearly 1,800 titles would be disappearing from its Watch Instantly service in the US. Unfortunately, it likely caused a lot of tension in Los Gatos as well and tonight the company revealed it’s changing its policies. Quickly dubbed “Streampocalypse,” some blamed it on competition like Warner Archive Instant, despite many of the listed titles actually being related to Netflix’s agreement with Epix. As we now know, on May 1st the sun rose once again and there are still some movies and TV shows to watch on Netflix streaming, but for just a few hours you might have thought that would not be the case.
The list came from the third-party site InstantWatcher, which we’ve long recommended to help users sort selections in ways not supported by the official page and apps including by year, Rotten Tomatoes rating or New York Times Critics’ Picks. Starting today however, that will not include the ability to list “expiring soon” titles. As Daniel Jacobson posted to Netflix’s API developer blog, it will stop including expiration dates in the public API. While we’re sad to see the amount of data available to the public reduced and are still peeved over the public API being shelved entirely, after last week’s incident we can certainly understand why. Netflix did not directly reference the incident in its statement (available after the break), but one can certainly connect the dots — read on for more information.

No Comments »EA removes links to gun sellers on ‘Medal of Honor’ page
Author: Margo Tipton
The internet page for self-styled “practical” shooter collection Medal of Honor no longer links to websites selling genuine weapons. As part of the promo for Medal of Honor: Warfighter previously this year, EA Games partnered with business like Magpul, McMillan, and other makers and vendors of guns, knives, or tactical gear, placing links to their shops on the game’s web page. Though the list of partners is still available, the links have actually now been gotten rid of. An EA representative told the BBC and others that “We felt it was inappropriate and took the links down” in the wake of a school shooting at Newtown, Connecticut.
The Medal of Honor partner web page was talked about rather uneasily by gaming press in August, with The Gameological Culture calling the move …

Google removes Nexus Q from landing page, further distances itself from a curious launch
Author: Matthew Wilson
Google had currently yanked the “In Stock” status from its Nexus Q as we waited for a re-envisioning of its purpose, however today’s Nexus launch is making it ever more clear that we may never learn through the bizarre orb again. Introduced in July with an almost unbelievably small set of functions, it took but a few weeks for Google to delay the proper launch while sending free of charge units to those who pre-ordered. Now, its placement on the Nexus landing web page has been removed totally, with the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 wandering the page alone. The Q’s placement in the Play Store remains, however a threatening “This gadget is not for sale at this time” message accompanies it. Google had not returned a request for remark at the time of this post’s publication, however we’ll update should we hear back.

Apple says no Java for you, removes it from OS X browsers
Author: Matthew Baker
Apple has recently released a Mac update for OS X Lion and Mountain Lion that removes its Java plugin from all OS X browsers. If you install the update, you’ll find a region labeled “Missing plug-in” in place of a Java applet; of course, Apple can’t stop you from clicking on it to download a Java plug-in directly from Oracle. The Cupertino-based company had previously halted pre-installing Java in OS X partially due to the exploitable factors of the platform, so this update signifies further distancing from Larry Ellison’s pride and joy.

Apple removes iPhone game based on Foxconn suicides from App Store
Author: Buck Howard
Apple has banned a politically charged iPhone game that deals with human rights problems connected with mass-produced electronic devices.
Benjamin Poynter‘s In A Long-term Save State is a surreal and visually striking interactive narrative that the creator says imagines the spiritual afterlife of seven overworked laborers who have committed self-destruction, alluding to real-life events at Foxconn’s electronic devices making plants in 2010. However the game was quietly removed from the App Store less than an hour after it went live earlier today.
It’s confusing which part of Apple’s standards the company claims the game violated, however sources used to Apple’s evaluation procedure have actually pointed us to app standards against “objectionable content,” (16.1) and …

Instagram removes live filters from iPhone 5 with software update, plans to pull feature from other versions soon
Author: Angela Stephens
Instagram released version 2.0 of its photo-sharing app nearly a year ago, and “live filters” were touted a headlining attribute– users were now able to apply a filter in the viewfinder prior to snapping a photo. Nonetheless, for iPhone 5 owners, that attribute is now missing out on. The other day’s update to the Instagram app brought compatibility with iOS 6 and full use of the iPhone 5′s bigger screen, however it additionally removed the live filter view, though owners of older iPhones can easily still make use of the function. Instagram’s support portal confirms the removal, saying that the present variation of Instagram “does not support live filters on the iPhone 5,” and goes on to state “going ahead, live filters will be phased out as we work to improve the Instagram …

Microsoft removes Bing Maps Streetside service in Germany due to privacy concerns
Author:
Microsoft has been pushing out updates to Bing and its related services lately in an attempt to wrest marketshare away from Google, but the company is now having to take features away from Bing Maps in Germany due to local complaints. The Streetside feature — Redmond’s riff on Google Maps’ Street View — was taken offline yesterday after issues were raised over the way the company blurs items in the various images used in the service. German users have proven particularly strict on this issue, with 244,000 German households requesting images be blurred in Google’s Street View before the feature launched in Germany in 2010. In a public statement, Microsoft spokesperson Thomas Baumgärtner stated that the company had decided to remove…
