When hundreds of thousands of fans descend upon the storied courts of Wimbledon in July, they won't just get to see the world's best tennis matches. They'll also experience some exciting innovations.

IBM has worked with Wimbledon for the last 30 years in a relationship that highlights how technology can enhance the game of tennis. It's an example of IBM's focus on helping its clients transform their industries.

From simple stats to real-time highlights

Early in its relationship, IBM largely just provided stats and data for the 3D graphics at Wimbledon, according to Sam Seddon, Wimbledon Client and Program Executive at IBM. Today, IBM harnesses its AI and Cloud capabilities to design the digital experience, help protect Wimbledon from cybersecurity threats, and provide fans with real-time performance metrics.

In 2017, IBM unveiled a system that could automatically curate highlight packages via artificial intelligence. IBM used Watson to analyze things like the crowd's cheers, players' celebrations, and match data to turn out high-quality highlight packages in as little as eight minutes. That first year, there were 17 million new video streams on social media as a result of the AI-powered solution.

This feature is getting two significant upgrades in 2019, according to Seddon, who's been leading IBM's work with Wimbledon since 2012. He said Watson has learned to better recognize sound acoustics, particularly when it comes to the strike of a ball. This means IBM can create even tighter crops and better highlights packages for the quick turnaround that's required.

Focusing on mitigating bias in AI models

"If you've got a crowd favorite playing on center court, AI listens to the noise of the crowd and sees the player gesticulating," Seddon said, noting that those would be clear signs it was worthy of a highlights package. But, "if you have an unknown who's playing equally if not better, that might not get picked up."

To help check that the models are not biased toward specific players who may be more popular and therefore skew scores, IBM is using Watson OpenScale when it knows a particular player has a loud fan base or uses wild gestures. Seddon said one of their priorities this year is to try to make sure every player gets the highest quality highlights package.

Tennis fans around the world

Another new offering for 2019 is the progressive web app — this will help expand the number of fans around the world who are able to fully experience Wimbledon.

"There could be millions of people in India who are interested in the championship but don't necessarily have access to high-quality network connectivity," Seddon said. "The progressive app will let those fans view Wimbledon content on a lower bandwidth"

When designing technical solutions, Seddon said it's important to think about the different kinds of fans — everyone from general sports fans to tennis enthusiasts to casual watchers who love the concept of Wimbledon but might not know much about tennis.

IBM's SlamTracker tries to take into account all three groups. At a basic level, SlamTracker tells fans what's going on in the match, what the relevant stats are, and what the score is. At a deeper level, it analyzes approximately 20 million data points from the last eight years to help understand the performance profiles of each player in a head-to-head match, what they need to focus on to improve, and who has the momentum at any given point in the game. "It's helping fans get in the shoes of the tennis coach," said Seddon.

All of these tech solutions help to create a unique relationship with the fans, who appreciate the fact that the app informs them in under a second about the latest insights and scores. "They can be the first with the news," said Seddon.

Technology behind the scenes

As much as these innovations can enhance the fans' experience, there are other pieces of technology that the fans never see — including IBM Cloud and Watson for Cyber Security — which help to protect Wimbledon's digital properties from cyber threats. Last year, IBM detected and blocked over 200 million security threats.

These kinds of tech solutions aren't just present at Wimbledon. Seddon said many of the Watson-powered capabilities are used by other IBM clients across industries, from banking to energy, to help them uncover insights and make better-informed decisions.

Looking ahead, Seddon said he anticipates more personalization on Wimbledon.com and the Wimbledon app. They're already experimenting with that through the My Wimbledon loyalty program, which provides an interesting opportunity to engage with fans. Seddon is also excited about the future possibility of opening up the archive to fans so they can experience important moments throughout Wimbledon's history.

NASA has announced humanity's next big feat of space exploration.

In 15 years, the space agency said, scientists may land a nuclear-powered helicopter on the surface of Saturn's icy moon Titan. The dronelike rotorcraft, nicknamed "Dragonfly," would skim and scan the moon's surface while seeking out signs of past — or present — microbial alien life.

According to NASA, Dragonfly is slated to launch around 2026 and arrive at Titan in 2034. It was one of a dozen $850 million mission concepts that research teams pitched to the space agency in 2017.

"This cutting-edge mission would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a release about Dragonfly's planned trip to Titan. "Visiting this mysterious ocean world could revolutionize what we know about life in the universe."

Why go to Titan?

Titan is one of many ocean worlds in our solar system, including Enceladus, Pluto, Europa, and Ganymede, that could be suitable for life.

It's Saturn's largest moon, and the second-largest moon in the solar system. Scientists also refer to it as a "proto-Earth" because of its size and composition.

Titan's surface has lakes of liquid hydrocarbon, such as methane (the key ingredient in natural gas), as well as clouds of ethane and smog rich with carbon-containing molecules. Titan's atmosphere mostly consists of nitrogen, like Earth's, but is four times as thick as the one ensconcing our planet. So while no human could breathe there, the thick air is helpful for flying robotic choppers.

In addition, a colossal ocean of liquid water may exist below Titan's roughly 60-mile-thick crust of ice.

All of this makes Titan a prime candidate in the ongoing search for signs of extraterrestrial life.

"Titan is the only other place in the solar system known to have an Earth-like cycle of liquids flowing across its surface," Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, tweeted on Thursday. "Dragonfly will explore the processes that shape this extraordinary environment filled with organic compounds — the building blocks to life as we know it."

Titan is a frigid world where surface temperatures hover around minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 179 degrees Celsius). Sunlight is much dimmer on Saturn — about 1% as strong as it is on Earth — so solar panels wouldn't suffice to power a spacecraft there.

To power Dragonfly and keep its circuits and motors from freezing on Titan, the team behind the mission will get a power supply called a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, or RTG.

In short, the device converts heat energy into electricity. The beating heart of an RTG is a radioactive substance called plutonium-238 (Pu-238), which, until only recently, was made as a byproduct of Cold War nuclear-weapons production. As Pu-238 decays, the material simmers with warmth. In an RTG, that warmth passes through a shell of thermoelectric materials that can turn a fraction of that heat into voltage.

An illustration of NASA's Dragonfly drone flying around Saturn's moon Titan.JHUAPLOn a spacecraft, an RTG gives off lasting warmth that helps safeguard fragile electronics. Using an RTG for power instead of solar panels also reduces the total weight of a robot for deep-space missions. Plus, it takes half of any amount of Pu-238 about 87 years to decay into a more stable material, which means a space mission relying on the substance can last for decades.

NASA plans to provide $850 million to design, test, and build Dragonfly. Additionally, the agency will provide an RTG for the spacecraft and will also fund its launch on a powerful (and as yet unnamed) rocket.

If Dragonfly arrives on Titan safely after its eight-year journey, it will use maps created by NASA's Cassini mission to "leapfrog" around the distant world in flights lasting as long as 5 miles (8 kilometers). In total, the spacecraft may fly more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) during its first mission.

NASA expects that adventure to last for about two years and eight months — though other plutonium-powered spacecraft, such as the Voyager probes, have lasted for decades.

Tesla is close to setting a record for the number of vehicles delivered in one quarter, and delivery logistics will play an important role in deciding whether that record is broken, CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday in an email to employees.

"We already have enough vehicle orders to set a record, but the right cars are not yet all in the right locations," Musk said. "Logistics and final delivery are extremely important, as well as finding demand for vehicle variants that are available locally, but can't reach people who ordered that variant before end of quarter."

The current quarterly delivery record, 90,700 vehicles, was set during the fourth quarter of 2018.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The email reiterates a sentiment Musk expressed at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting on June 11, during which he said the company had a "decent shot" of breaking its quarterly delivery record. Internal documents viewed by Business Insider suggested that the electric-car maker was not on pace to break the record between late May and early June, based on a criterion described by Musk in a May 22 email to employees.

Tesla's second-quarter delivery numbers will face particularly intense scrutiny because the company's first-quarter deliveries fell well below those of the prior quarter. Some analysts said the disappointing first-quarter numbers suggested a decrease in demand for Tesla's vehicles, but the company blamed logistical challenges related to international deliveries and seasonal trends.

Strong second-quarter delivery numbers, even if they don't set a company record, could restore confidence in the demand for Tesla's vehicles and help push the company back to profitability. (Tesla estimates it will be profitable in the third quarter but not in the second.)

Weak delivery numbers could intensify concerns about demand and the company's chances of achieving consistent profitability. Tesla has produced four profitable quarters in its 16-year history, including two in the second half of 2018, when delivery numbers reached record highs.

Nearly 40% of LGBTQ employees at tech companies who participated in a recent survey said they've witnessed some form of gender or sexuality-related discrimination at work.

The anonymous workplace chat app Blind recently polled more than 7,000 Silicon Valley workers about their perceptions of their companies' acceptance and treatment of LGBTQ employees. The results, provided exclusively to Business Insider, show that although an overwhelming majority of queer tech employees say their workplaces are "safe spaces," a significant number of respondents say they've witnessed homophobic and discriminatory behavior.

The survey from Blind also showed a breakdown of harassment and discrimination at various tech companies. At least half of LGBTQ-identifying employees at Facebook, Oracle, LinkedIn, and Netflix all said they had witnessed homophobic harassment in the workplace. Silicon Valley staples including Uber, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon all saw more than a quarter of its queer employees say they had seen homophobia on display in their offices.

There was, however, a stark discrepancy between the amount of straight employees and LGBTQ workers who reported witnessing harassment and discriminatory behavior. Although nearly 40% of LGBTQ-identifying employees who responded told Blind they had seen homophobic behavior in the workplace, only 8% of non-LGBTQ tech workers reported witnessing harassment.

The results of the Blind survey are not representative of an entire company or its workforce; they represent only the views of employees who choose to use the Blind app. Still, the survey provides an interesting glimpse into the state of LGBTQ treatment within the Silicon Valley corporate world, at a time when the issue is in the news at one major tech company.

It's also worth noting that California, where most of the tech companies in the survey have their headquarters, is one of only 21 states in the US that have laws protecting people in the workplace from being fired, not hired, or discriminated against based on gender identity or sexual orientation.

Blind's survey provided a company-by-company breakdown of employees who feel their place of work is a safe space, and most companies included in the results reached above 90% of surveyed employees responding in the affirmative. Intel ranked among the lowest at over 17% saying they did not feel the company was a safe space, followed by Amazon. Interestingly, Apple, whose CEO Tim Cook is openly gay, ranked the third worst in this part of the survey, with 10.2% of respondents describing it as not a safe space for LGBTQ employees.

Results from Blind's survey of almost 7,300 tech workers who said whether they think their company is a "safe space" for members of the LGBTQ community. Blind

And Google, the tech company that's gotten the most flak recently over its LGBTQ policies, didn't fare nearly as poorly as some of its Silicon Valley neighbors.

Blind, which verifies users by their work emails, didn't disclose the number of employees from each company who responded, but only 25% of LGBTQ-identifying Google employees said in the survey they had witnessed harassment in the workplace. More than 94% of surveyed Google employees, both straight and LGBTQ-identifying, said they felt the tech giant was a safe space.

Earlier this month, Google decided not to remove videos from a YouTube personality who used homophobic and racial slurs referring to a Vox journalist. YouTube's inaction was met with criticism not only from the public LGBTQ community, but from employees within the company. LGBTQ Googlers told news outlets that they felt afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation from both the company and their coworkers.

"It's hard to put my shoes on everyday and go to work when I don't think the company I work for supports my identity," a Google engineer, who wished to remain anonymous, told Business Insider.

On Monday, leaked internal emails revealed that Google employees who wished to march alongside the official Google float during the San Francisco Pride parade were forbidden from protesting YouTube's LGBTQ policies - doing so would be a violation of the company's communications policy (although Google said employees were free to protest YouTube if they marched on their own, or with other groups).

Apple has acquired self-driving car startup Drive.ai, according to a new report by Axios.

While a purchase price wasn't disclosed, the company was at one time valued at $200 million. Axios further reports that "dozens" of Drive.ai engineers have joined Apple following the acquisition, while the company itself recently ceased operations.

The news comes after the Information reported earlier in June that Apple was interested in acquiring Drive.ai— with a particular eye towards bringing on its engineering talent.

Earlier on Tuesday, the San Francisco Chronicle had reported that Drive.ai planned to shut down and lay off 90 employees by the end of June, citing a filing with California state authorities. However, it appears that the filing may have been premature, given news that the Apple acquisition was apparently finalized.

Drive.ai's product was unique — rather than create self-driving cars from scratch, the company made "kits" to turn regular cars into autonomous vehicles.

Apple, for its part, has been investing heavily in its own automotive ambitions, including working on self-driving car technology.

The company had raised $77 million in five funding rounds, according to Crunchbase, with investors including New Enterprise Associates and Nvidia GPU Ventures.

A spokesperson for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Researchers at Princeton released a new study on how many online shopping sites use coercive so-called "dark pattern" techniques to trick people into spending more money.

"This is manipulating users into making decisions they wouldn't otherwise make and buying stuff they don't need," Gunes Acar, a research associate at Princeton who helped run the study, told Business Insider. "Showing a timer and saying you only have 5 minutes left — there's a sense of urgency that's questionable at best."

Acar and his team created a tool that crawled over 10,000 e-commerce sites. Ultimately, they found that more than 1,200 use "dark pattern" techniques to coerce customers into buying items or spending more time on their sites.

"This is definitely a lower limit," Acar added, since the tool focused more on text (like having the "cancel order" option say something like "no thanks, I don't like delicious food," on a delivery website, for example) and less on manipulative design.

In all, the study identified 15 ways that shopping websites manipulate and coerce customers, by making it difficult to cancel a purchase, shaming customers when they try to leave, and authoring fake testimonials, for example.

Many e-commerce sites work with third-party vendors to implement more manipulative designs. The study identified 22 of these vendors, noting two of them openly advertise their techniques.

The New York Times tried to replicate some of the study's results, and found that certain websites even went as far as to show that an apparently fake customer is actively buying the items you're looking at.

"'On one day this month...'Abigail from Albuquerque' appeared to buy more than two dozen items, including dresses in sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8," the Times wrote. Unfortunately, Abigail doesn't seem to exist, the Times reported — she was apparently made up to create social pressure, and reassure customers that a real person had also bought this item.

The concept of a dark pattern isn't unique to shopping, either: Scammers have taken advantage of similar techniques to trick people into purchasing iPhone app subscriptions, and even Facebook has been accused of using dark patterns to entice users into sharing contact information for their friends and family.

The Princeton study didn't focus on whether or not these techniques are working, but legislation introduced by Senators Mark Warner (D-VA) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) indicates that the concept is being taken seriously on Capitol Hill.

On Tuesday morning, the senators held a hearing to discuss the Deceptive Experiences To Online Users Reduction (DETOUR) Act, which would ban the use of these techniques on websites with over 100 million monthly users.

"These not only undermine the choices that are available to you on these platforms, but they also cost you money," said Katie McInnis, policy counsel at Consumer Reports, speaking at the hearing.

Facebook is moving ahead with plans to create dedicated news section that publishers could get paid for. Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg floated the idea earlier this year to create a place for users who want more news. The tech giant has since begun talking to publishers and hiring to support it.

Facebook execs have been holding one-on-one meetings to get feedback on the news tab and other products from publishers that have shown interest in being early to try out new Facebook products in the past. The goal is to roll out the tab by the end of the year. The discussions are being led by Shelley Venus and Anne Kornblut, two Facebook executives who have news backgrounds and are respected in the news industry.

Facebook is also advertising on LinkedIn for a member of its Media Partnerships team that works on products like Facebook Watch, the video section that includes news shows from ABC News and Univision in addition to entertainment shows; and the forthcoming news tab. The person will focus on "news acquisition efforts and general deal flow" in Media Partnerships, be "responsible for the end-to-end negotiations with partners" and work to "drive meaningful value to media partners," according to the post.

'A better environment for news'

Facebook doesn't have a product it's showing around, but at this point, the section is expected to feature publishers' links, rather than video or original content that publishers would have to make exclusively for the section, which would make it easier to get publishers to participate.

"This will be a better environment for news," said Jeff Jarvis, a City University of New York journalism professor who's familiar with the plan.

Other ways the tab will appeal to publishers is that it's also likely to offer some level of personalization, some light oversight by an editorial team, and involve payments to publishers, according to people familiar with Facebook's thinking, though the details haven't been shared with publishers.

Based on conversations with Facebook, some publishers expect the platform to share ad revenue from their stories and let them keep all associated subscription revenue, in line with Facebook's past practice. That could help get prestigious, subscription-driven publishers like The New York Times and The Washington Post on board.

Facebook sent a team of 10 to a meeting with ABC News and shared a detailed roadmap for the product, indicating a high level of deliberation, said Colby Smith, SVP of content & partnerships for ABC News. Facebook execs asked a lot of questions suggesting they wanted the section to have human involvement, not just be algorithm-driven, he said.

"They definitely want another crack at being a meaningful business partner for publishers," Smith said.

"They seem open-eyed about the challenges: Not just the content but what the news is, how you balance hard news and human interest stories in the same way publishers do," said another news executive who's been briefed on the plan.

A news-only tab could make a lot of sense

On the surface, it makes sense to have a separate tab for news junkies, because while Facebook has cut the amount of news it sends through its news feed, news still forms part of the conversation ecosystem that Facebook wants to be part of. Facebook has changed strategies over the years to promote and pay for news and has said it wants to elevate quality news on the platform, but has struggled with how to judge quality.

Meanwhile, rival platform Apple News launched a subscription program that shares revenue with publishers, right around the time Zuckerberg floated the news tab idea.

A news tab featuring established news outlets could help Facebook defend against criticism over its problems with fake news spreading on the platform and accusations of ideological bias, from both the left and right, in the news it promotes in the feed.

So will Facebook get the publishers it needs to participate, when publishers feel like they've been burned in the past by its multiple strategy changes?

Facebook believes it can create a huge audience just for news

One big question is whether Facebook can get a meaningful audience to the section in the first place after it struggled to create a strong viewing habit with the Watch section. But an exec who's familiar with the plans said Zuckerberg believes a news tab could draw 15% of Facebook users, which could be huge.

A lot of publishers are strapped for revenue and would welcome any funding as Facebook and Google eat up most of the digital ad pie. Publishers with an ad-supported model that still lean heavily on social platforms for awareness seem more likely to benefit from a news tab.

There are still many questions, though. Subscription publishers will want to know if Facebook will preference free over paywalled content. There are questions around how much control publishers will get over which of their stories get seen. How will Facebook treat breaking news, and how will it decide who gets to be in the tab.

A publication like The Washington Post might be glad to share a tab with the likes of The Wall Street Journal, but what about Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller? Facebook in the past has put the burden on users to answer the question of what "quality news" is, and this time, has been putting the question to publishers.

A publisher whose company has been briefed on the news tab worried Facebook will give space to heavily ideological publishers in an attempt to be balanced. "If you decide fairness has to be a quantity game, you end up with a false equivalency."

As the Federal Trade Commission reportedly enters the final stages of an investigation into YouTube, US Senator Edward Markey is calling for major changes to how the Google-owned video site handles children's content.In a letter dated June 25,Markey asked the FTC to "take all necessary steps to hold YouTube accountable" for potential violations of children's privacy laws.

Markey is the author of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a federal law introduced in 2000. COPPA requires websites that are designed for children to ask for a parent's permission when personal data is being collected. In his letter, Markey said that many popular YouTube channels are meant for children, but are not subject to COPPA laws because YouTube claims to be for teens and adults. He specifically mentioned RyanToysReview, YouTube's highest earning channel with more than 19 million subscribers.

Read more: YouTube is reportedly being investigated by the FTC over how it handles children's videos, and it may result in fundamental changes to the platform

Markey's letter calls for YouTube to comply with several specific rules:

With the FTC investigation already underway, YouTube is reportedly considering shifting all children's content to YouTube Kids, which could increase their compliance with COPPA. The video platform has been recovering from a number of scandals, including reports that a network of pedophiles generated millions of views on home videos featuring scantily clad or near-nude children.

In February, the FTC found that TikTok violated COPPA by not requiring parental consent before collecting data from users under the age of 13. The startup was hit with a $5.7 million fine as a result.

The US Defense Department will soon announce the winner of one of the biggest cloud computing deals in history, with Microsoft and Amazon battling it out for the $10 billion contract.

Amazon, whose Amazon Web Services is the dominant cloud player, has been considered the likely winner of the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) project, a platform that will store and manage sensitive military and defense data. But an analyst said the tide has shifted in favor of Microsoft, partly because Oracle launched an aggressive bid to be reconsidered for the project.

"A year ago, Amazon was about to pop the champagne about the deal," Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives told Business Insider.

Referring to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Oracle founder Larry Ellison, he added. "I think the tide has turned in the direction of Nadella and Redmond. … The irony is that Nadella's best friend in the JEDI deal has probably been Oracle and Ellison."

Oracle vs Amazon

When Amazon seemed like a shoo-in to win the contract, Oracle went on the offensive, filing formal protests. Its CEO Safra Catz even reportedly tried to dine with President Trump In the end, it launched a legal challenge, suggesting that Amazon used inappropriate tactics in the bidding process.

In April, Amazon and Microsoft were named finalists for the Pentagon's plan to create a massive cloud computing platform for the US military. This is a winner-take-all contract worth up to $10 billion over 10 years. Despite the fact that Oracle was no longer in the running, the company didn't drop its suit.

"JEDI is riddled with improprieties," Oracle's lawyers contended in lawsuit documents. "AWS made undisclosed employment and bonus offers to at least two DoD (Dept. of Defense) JEDI officials."

Amazon Web Services has denied the accusations, telling Business Insider last month that Oracle's complaint is "wildly misleading and a desperate attempt to smear the company by distorting the facts."

Read: Everything you need to know about hybrid cloud, the $63 billion market that even Amazon is embracing after years of shunning it

An Amazon Web Services spokesperson on Tuesday declined to comment "due to ongoing litigation."

Amazon had been considered the early favorite to win the Pentagon contract partly because it had already secured a $600 million cloud contract from the Central Intelligence Agency in 2013.

Ives, who has an outperform rating on Microsoft and does not cover Amazon, said the Oracle complaint delayed and "added noise" to the process by highlighting "conflict of interest charges" against Amazon. That ended up giving Microsoft more time to campaign for the contract.

More time for Microsoft

Microsoft officials "flexed their muscles," mounting a strong campaign for the contract over the past year, including a robust lobbying effort in Washington, DC, Ives said.

"They had a lot of ground to make up versus AWS," he said. "The vast majority of this has been Microsoft gaining traction. They significantly enhanced their focus within the Beltway and K Street in making sure that the Pentagon isn't just looking at AWS as a shoo-in."

"Microsoft had a 20% to 30% chance a year ago," Ives said. "Today, it's 55%."

Elissa Smith, spokesperson for the Department of Defense, told Business Insider the JEDI award "will not be made until at least August 23." The Pentagon has also begun preparing to rollout the the JEDI project, even as it still faces a legal challenge from Oracle, according to a Bloomberg report.

Whether you're the famous host of a popular morning news show on CBS or a little-known tinfoil hat aficionado, there's a strong possibility that you think Facebook and Instagram are listening to you.

It's an extremely persistent, widely-held belief: You were talking to a friend about X, then an advertisement about X pops up hours later on your Facebook or Instagram feed.

CBS This Morning co-anchor Gayle King is among the cohort who believe as much, and King grilled Instagram head Adam Mosseri about it during an interview on Tuesday.

As expected, Mosseri said Instagram and Facebook aren't listening.

"We don't look at your messages, we don't listen in on your microphone. Doing so would be super problematic for a lot of different reasons," he said.

Mosseri explained two potential ways this could happen. "One is is dumb luck, which could happen," he said. The second, more likely explanation, is a bit more complex:

"The second is you might be talking about something because it's top of mind, because you've been interacting with that type of content more recently. So maybe you're really into food and restaurants. You saw a restaurant on Facebook or on Instagram and maybe like the thing. It's top of mind. Maybe that's subconscious, then it bubbles up later. I think this kinda happens often in ways that are really subtle."

But King wasn't having it.

"I don't believe you!" she said. "I don't know how this happens repeatedly. Does it happen to you?"

When Mosseri wasn't able to come up with an example ("I can't think of a good example."), King rounded back to where the exchange started: "You guys I swear are listening," she said.

The next generation of wireless is here, and several countries are locked in a fierce battle for the top spot in global 5G development. Telecoms in 18 countries will roll out 5G networks by the end of this year, and by 2020 over one-fifth of the world's countries will have launched 5G services.

Business Insider Intelligence

Securing global 5G leadership is a national priority for many countries because the winner is expected to secure more than a decade of competitive advantages. The spread of 5G is pivotal for the connected world — its technical upgrades will supercharge adoption of transformative technologies and strengthen the value of old ones.

5G will serve as the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution, and the global pacesetter for the new standard could become the same for connected technologies. All told, 5G technologies are expected to contribute $2.2 trillion to the global economy over the next 15 years.

In the Global 5G Landscape Report, Business Insider Intelligence identifies three countries — the United States, South Korea, and China — that are spearheading the 5G revolution. The report compiles 5G snapshots of the three countries, with each providing an overview of the market's telecoms space and details on what is contributing to — or hindering — its development. We look at the notable telecoms in each geography and identify their 5G launch efforts, as well as discuss what the opportunities are for each company.

The companies mentioned in this report are: AT&T, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Ericsson, Huawei, KT, LG, LG Uplus, Nokia, Samsung, SK Telecom, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and ZTE

Autoplaying videos on Facebook can be great if you're in the mood to conk out in front of a screen for a little while. But they can also be annoying — they can use up your data, play loud noises, and even make your system run slower.

Whatever your reason, there's no shame in wanting to turn autoplay off for good. Luckily, there are ways to turn off the autoplay option for Facebook videos, no matter how you use the site.

Here's how to get it done on the desktop version of Facebook, as well as the iPhone and Android mobile apps:

How to stop videos from automatically playing on Facebook: Desktop

This will only take a minute:

1. Log into Facebook.

2. Click the downward-facing arrow in the top toolbar and click "Settings."

3. Click the "Videos" option in the toolbar on the right side of the screen.

4. Next to "Auto-play videos," select "Off" from the drop-down menu.

From there, you can also change the default video quality, as well as turning on or off the video captions option.

How to stop videos from automatically playing on Facebook: iPhone

Since this process goes through your mobile app, you'll need to be logged in to your Facebook account to disable autoplay. Provided you're logged in, here's how to turn it off:

1. Open your Facebook app.

2. Tap the three vertical lines at the bottom of the screen.

3. Scroll down and tap "Settings and Privacy" and then "Settings."

4. Scroll down again to "Media and Contacts" and then tap "Videos and Photos."

5. Tap "Autoplay" and select "Never Autoplay Videos" to turn off auto-play.

Again, you'll need to be logged into your Facebook account for this to work. Here's how to turn of video auto-play through your Android's Facebook app:

1. Open your Facebook app.

2. Tap the three stacked lines at the top of the screen.

3. Select "Settings & Privacy" followed by "Settings."

4. Scroll down and tap "Media and Contacts."

5. Select "Autoplay."

6. Choose "Never Autoplay Videos."

For both Android and iPhone users, you'll also be able to set videos to autoplay "On Mobile Data and Wi-Fi Connections" or "On Wi-Fi Connections Only" from that final screen.

What exactly is Amazon Prime Day and why does it exist?

Prime Day is Amazon's annual retail holiday. It was introduced in 2015 as a one-day only sales event that boasted more deals than Black Friday and also celebrated Amazon's 20th anniversary as a company.

Though the first Prime Day was met with some disappointment, subsequent Prime Days have improved in both the quality and quantity of deals, and the event has been made available to more countries outside the US every year.

Today, it is a global shopping event where Prime members can shop hundreds of thousands of deals sitewide, with new deals starting as often as every five minutes.

When is Amazon Prime Day this year?

Amazon Prime Day 2019 will be July 15-16, 2019. It will be live for 48 hours, starting at 12 a.m. PT on July 15 and ending at 11:59 p.m. PT on July 16.

How do I shop Amazon Prime Day deals?

Deals will be hosted on this Amazon page on Prime Day.

You need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to shop the deals, so if you aren't already, you should sign up for a free 30-day trial sometime before Prime Day.

What products will be discounted?

Amazon is offering more than 1 million deals for Prime members around the world. The first confirmed deal of Prime Day 2019 is the Toshiba HD 43-Inch Fire TV Edition Smart TV, now $179.99 (originally $299.99).

Amazon devices such as Echo devices, Fire tablets, and Kindle e-readers are very likely to be on sale. Prime Day last year featured double the deals on Amazon devices and the biggest deals yet on Alexa-enabled products like the Echo, Fire TV, and Fire tablets. Amazon says this year will feature the biggest Prime Day deals ever on Alexa-enabled devices.

Amazon's 12 newest devices, introduced in late 2018, may also be on sale. Outside of physical device deals, expect deals on Amazon services and memberships like entertainment (Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Music Unlimited, Prime Video, Audible, etc.) and grocery shopping (Amazon Fresh, Amazon Pantry, Whole Foods, etc.).

Other things we expect to have good deals are smart home accessories, phones, computers, cameras, TVs, fitness accessories, kitchen appliances, and beauty tools.

These were the best deals across all categories on Amazon Prime Day 2018, and we think similar deals are in the works for Prime Day 2019.

What did people buy on Prime Day last year?

The most popular purchase of the event was the Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote. The Amazon Cloud Cam was the best-selling security camera deal in Amazon history, while the Amazon-owned security company Ring also had a great day, selling out its Video Doorbell Pro.

Outside of Amazon devices, Prime members around the world loved everything from video game consoles to DNA tests. In the US and Canada, top sellers included the Instant Pot.

Among Insider Picks readers specifically, the $1 Kindle Unlimited membership was the clear winner. Noise-cancelling headphones from Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser, and LifeStraw personal water filters were also popular buys on Amazon Prime Day 2018.

Is Amazon the only place I should shop during Prime Day?

No. A growing number of competing online retailers are advertising their summer sales in direct relation to Amazon's Prime Day. Internet-wide, you can expect a lot of great deals during the month of July as retailers all compete to offer the lowest prices. That makes shopping online more overwhelming, but ultimately more rewarding if you're able to hone in on the most valuable deals.

Where can I find the best deals on Prime Day?

Insider Picks will be covering the best overall deals, as well as the best tech deals, home and kitchen appliance deals, fitness deals, and more, right here, so you can avoid the perils of overwhelming choice mentioned above.

Let us do the work for you, and check back to the Insider Picks page on Amazon Prime Day to find full coverage of the deals you should be focusing on.

What are other ways I can get ready for Prime Day?

Could our cellphone use be causing us to grow horns?

That question has been circulating over the last couple of weeks, after this headline appeared in The Washington Post: "Horns are growing on young people's skulls. Phone use is to blame, research suggests."

The academic study on which The Post's story is based came out in February 2018 in the journal Scientific Reports. It suggested that bony growths called external occipital protuberances — which are found in the middle of the back of skull, above where our neck muscles attach — are popping up more often than expected in people between the ages of 18 and 30.

The study authors suggested that these protuberances might arise because of sustained bad posture, which is "associated with the emergence and extensive use of hand-held contemporary technologies, such as smartphones and tablets."

However, experts are taking umbrage at the claim, saying the study leaves much to be desired in terms of data and research methodology.

"The study has a number of considerable flaws," William Harcourt-Smith, a physical anthropologist from Lehman College in New York, told Business Insider. "The way the media are using the word 'horns' is appalling."

David Shahar, the lead author of the study, told Business Insider the term "horn" came from the media and "doesn't appear in our research." But he told The Washington Post: "You may say [the protuberance] looks like a bird's beak, a horn, a hook."

Semantics aside, here's why you shouldn't worry about growing bumps on the back of your head.

These growths aren't anything new

In the February 2018 paper, Shahar and his coauthor, Mark Sayers, referred to the bony growth as "a degenerative musculoskeletal feature," a term typically associated with deterioration and loss of function.

But these protuberances are fairly common among older people — and harmless, for the most part.

"Men have it more often than women, so much so that this is one of several traits that help forensic scientists establish whether a skeleton belonged to a male or female individual," the anthropologist John Hawks wrote in an article.

Given that external occipital protuberances (EOPs) are present in most people as a very small bump, Shahar told Business Insider, they considered the bump to be enlarged only "if the 'bump' was over 10 millimeters."

The duo published three papers about enlarged EOPs, which they shortened to EEOPs, in younger people between 2016 and 2018. The paper at the center of the recent hubbub analyzed X-ray images taken of 1,200 people from the side (in order to see the curvature of the neck and the back of the skull).

But it turns out that those 1,200 patients weren't a random, representative subset of the population; rather, the patients had all already been going to a chiropractor for help.

What's more, they were all patients from Shahar's own chiropractic clinic in Queensland, Australia, according to Quartz.

There could be other possible explanations for these bumps

In their February 2018 paper, the researchers reported that 35% of the young men and more than 40% of the young women they studied under the age of 30 had one such protuberance, which could be more than an inch in size.

Less than 15% of people between the ages of 30 and 50 had the same bony growth, they found.

The authors seemed to suggest that these growths could arise because when we look down at our phones, we shift our heads' weight from over the spine to the neck muscles. It's similar to the way pressure from a high-heeled shoe can cause a bone spur on the backs of one's feet.

In a world in which parents are concerned about screen time and app developers use psychological tricks to keep us looking at our smartphones, news that humans are physically changing because of cellphones might not seem far from the realm of possibility.

However, Shahar said he and his colleague "have not ever drawn direct links between the presence of EEOP[s] and mobile technology use."

Instead, he said, "we have suggested that the cause appears to be a mechanical one," drawing links between the presence of these enlarged bony growths and sustained postures in which the neck is craned forward — a position that's "often associated with the use of mobile technologies."

Shahar and Sayers also said in their paper that there could many other possible explanations for these bumps, including poor posture "while sitting, standing, or sleeping," "bike riding using drop hand-bars," or "sleeping supine with a high pillow."

Shahar owns a company that sells posture-correcting pillows

Shahar might have a stake in encouraging the general public up to worry about their posture: He owns a company called Dr. Posture, which sells posture-correction products. The website markets a trademarked $195 thoracic pillow to correct head posture.

Shahar failed to report this business venture in the "competing interests" section of his and Sayers' February 2018 paper.

He told Quartz that he has "been largely inactive in that front over the years of my research, and this research does not discuss any particularly related intervention methods."

However, the 2018 paper does suggest that "the mitigation of poor postural habit through prevention intervention may be prudent."

Nature Research, which publishes Scientific Reports and is considered one of the most reputable publishers of scientific literature, ensures that its studies are peer reviewed by two reviewers, as the publisher told PBS NewsHour.

"We are looking into issues regarding this paper and we will take action where appropriate," a spokesperson told PBS NewsHour.

Horns aren't made of bone

Hawks also takes issue with the characterization of these protuberances as horns.

"Horns," he wrote, "are made of keratin, the same stuff as fingernails."

Equating bony extensions with keratinous outgrowths could be a step too far, Hawks said on his website.

"Personally, I think scientists have to be extra alert to make sure that they don't use words that lead to misunderstandings," he told Business Insider.

What's more, Hawks said, one of the figures in the February 2018 study data doesn't align with a number that the authors wrote in the text. In the study, one figure indicates that more than 40% of females and 35% of males under the age of 30 had a protuberance. But the text also says males are "5.48 times more likely to have [a protuberance] than females."

In an email, Shahar clarified that men are more likely to have bumps then women overall, but in the group of people in the study, 40% of women under 30 had the bumps, while only 35% of men in the same age group did.

The authors did not offer a table of results, so it's impossible to know exactly how many protuberances the researchers observed in their X-rays.

The study didn't measure cellphone use

David J. Langer, the chairman of neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, also expressed skepticism about the study to The New York Times.

"It doesn't make a bit of sense to me," Langer said.

He added that folks who spend an abnormal amount of time looking down with a bent neck (like surgeons) are known to have disc problems, not changes in their skulls.

"You're more likely to get degenerative disc disease or misalignment in your neck than a bone spur growing out of your skull," Langer told The Times. "I haven't seen any of these, and I do a lot of X-rays. I hate being a naysayer off the bat, but it seems a little bit far-fetched."

There's one other nagging issue with the 2018 study: The researchers did not measure the cellphone use of the 1,200 people whose X-rays they studied.

"They're arguing that young people are spending a lot of time hunched over their laptops and their phones," Jeff Goldsmith, a biostatistician at Columbia University who was not involved in the study, told PBS NewsHour. "But they don't actually have any data about screen time, their [subjects'] typical posture or about any of the things that might give you a way to evaluate that hypothesis."

That means that the authors' suggestion that cellphone use might be causing the poor posture that gave rise to these protuberances is based solely on the conjecture that people between 18 and 30 are on their phones more than older generations.

Shahar acknowledged that the study was not a randomized controlled trial, saying that such a study "would need to be performed over 10 to 20 years and would require some quite invasive techniques."

It's possible that Shahar and Sayers' claims about the relationship between bad posture and protuberances are true. But before suggesting that cellphone use could cause bone growths, it would make sense to measure both the input and the result.

"We are not against these modern technologies (quite the opposite actually), rather we are trying to highlight that sustained poor posture comes at a price," Shahar said in an email.

I listen to music whenever I get the chance. Whether it's acoustics while I work, the pop charts while I exercise, or classic rock while I drive, I love to have something playing in the background. That's why I was surprised that as an Amazon Prime member, I had never even checked out Amazon's streaming service.

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you already have access to Prime Music. This is Amazon's basic, free (for Prime members) streaming option that offers up some 2 million songs. That may sound like a lot, but you can get millions of more songs if you pay for Amazon's Music Unlimited service. Unlimited comes with 50 million songs, and Prime members can get it for $7.99 a month, while non-members will pay $9.99 a month to use it.

We've already written up a rundown on how to use Amazon Music, but it's pretty simple. You can access Amazon Music Unlimited via the Amazon website or app, using your regular Amazon login. Here's what it's like to actually use Amazon Music Unlimited.

Interface

The recommended page on Amazon Music Unlimited. Amazon

You can use Music Unlimited on your phone or computer. On the computer, you can access Music Unlimited on the Amazon homepage or download the Amazon Music app onto your desktop — you can download this app straight from Amazon. On your phone, you'll have to download the Amazon Music app from the app store.

However you choose to access Music Unlimited, you'll be met with a similar interface. I found the interface to be clean and user-friendly. There are plenty of built-in features aimed at helping listeners discover new music. The Recommended section (found on the left-side navigation menu on desktop or from bottom left Browse section on phone) is filled with playlists, albums, and songs Amazon thinks you'll like based on your listening history. You can follow playlists you like, listen to playlists curated by your favorite artists, and easily make your own playlists of your favorite songs.

Music selection

Amazon's Unlimited selection rivals that of the big streaming players like Spotify and Apple Music — all are said to offer about 50 million songs. I did plenty of searching, looking for albums from some of today's most popular artists, artists from past decades, as well as musicians I know that haven't made it to the mainstream yet and was pleased to see that Amazon had them all. There really were no holes when it came to music, which makes sense as Music Unlimited releases new songs weekly.

Amazon also has a selection of exclusive songs — both covers and singles — called Amazon Originals, that you can't find on other streaming sites. This reminded me of Spotify Singles — the competing service's collection of exclusive studio sessions with popular artists, though Amazon's section is a little more sparse here.

The selection of curated playlists rivals that of competitors, but Amazon Music Unlimited doesn't offer anything in the way of other content. Spotify has a large selection of podcasts and some fun videos sprinkled throughout the service, Tidal lets you watch music videos, and Slacker Radio has a selection of hilarious stand-up. Amazon does have Side-by-Sides, artist commentary on their own songs and albums, but you can only access this with Alexa. If you just want songs, you won't miss anything with Music Unlimited, but if you want more content this is something to consider.

Pricing

The pricing structure gives Amazon Music Unlimited some real skin in the game. This is one of the most affordable options around, especially if you're a Prime member already.

There is no free Music Unlimited option, though you can do a 30-day trial of the service at no cost. After that, Music Unlimited costs $9.99 a month for non-Prime members, a pretty average price for streaming services. For Prime members that price goes down to $7.99 a month or $79 annually, which brings the price per month to just over $6. The family plan option — which allows you to connect six devices — costs $14.99 a month, similar to Apple Music and Spotify.

There are even more discounts and special deals to encourage Amazon users to use Music Unlimited. Students can get the service for $4.99 a month, but Prime Student members can stream Music Unlimited for just $6 for 6 months. If you have an Amazon Echo device you can save even more — you get access to Amazon's millions of songs for just $3.99, though the plan can only be used on that one registered device.

The price of a membership gets you unlimited access to every song, ad-free listening, unlimited skips, offline streaming, and hands-free listening if you have an Alexa-enabled device.

Special Features

Users seem to love Amazon Music Unlimited's seamless integration with Echo devices. Just ask Alexa to play a song, an artist, or something like "pool party music" if you want music to fit a specific vibe. While you can use other streaming services with Alexa, the difference here is that it's built-in, you don't need to specify what service Alexa needs to play the song on, she already knows it's Music Unlimited. If you rely heavily on Alexa, this is a nice feature.

Something I found fun was the karaoke-style lyrics provided with each song. When you listen to a song, the lyrics show up on your screen, rolling as the song goes on. You can jump to any point in the song using this feature — just click the lyrics you want to hear. I love knowing song lyrics, so I think this feature is really fun.

Bottom line

Picking which streaming service is best for you is really a personal choice. Are you basing your choice on price alone? Are you just listening to songs or do you want more music-related content? Are you looking for a service that has more social media features?

When it comes to basic features Amazon Music Unlimited is pretty similar to most other major streaming services — it has a strong selection, helps listeners discover new music, and is affordable, especially for Prime members. If you're a real music nerd, this service will probably feel a little bare bones for you as it doesn't offer much in the way of exclusive content from, and about, artists.

But, if you're an Amazon Prime member or the owner of an Echo device, Music Unlimited is a seamless and affordable way to stream music. And, at just $7.99 a month, or an even more affordable $79 a year, it's probably one of the best prices you're going to get.

Sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited free for 30 days here (then $9.99/month for non-members or $7.99/ month for Prime members)

I'm a huge fan of just about everything Amazon has to offer, from Amazon Music Unlimited to Prime Video to crazy fast shipping on thousands of products, but I've never been a big fan of AmazonFresh. This is largely because I love grocery shopping and hate the idea of someone doing it for me, but it's also because the service isn't even available where I live.

If you like the idea of someone delivering all your custom-picked groceries to your door, then by all means, pay the extra $14.99 on top of your Amazon Prime membership and sign up for AmazonFresh. And note that you'll pay an additional $9.99 for any order under $35. All total, an AmazonFresh account by itself will cost at least $179 a year.

If, on the other hand, you've been using AmazonFresh but now think it's time to part ways with the service, canceling AmazonFresh is quick and easy.

How to cancel an AmazonFresh membership

1. Sign into your Amazon account and open the dropdown menu under "Accounts & Lists."

2. Click "Your Account."

3. Click the box that says "Prime - View benefits and payment settings."

4. Click the words "Manage Fresh Add-on" to the right of the Fresh icon.

Click on the "Manage" option. Steven John/Business Insider

5. Hit "End Membership" and then confirm to cancel your membership.

If you are canceling a free 30-day trial to avoid incurring your first AmazonFresh charge, the steps are all the same, except hit "Do Not Continue" instead of "End Membership."

Business Insider Intelligence 5G networks are poised to create a range of new revenue opportunities for telecoms thanks to faster network speeds. Network operators want to get these networks up and running and use them to offer consumers and businesses better versions of the high-speed data service they currently provide, but also to enable new practices.

One new product wireless operators will introduce to take advantage of 5G networks in the consumer segment is 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) services. This type of product offering will allow wireless telecoms to enter the home internet market and challenge wired broadband operators for the $80 billion revenue opportunity in consumer home internet access.

To get this product into consumers' homes, though, they have to overcome the inertia of the status quo. Many consumers won't want to change the provider of a service that already works well enough for them or deal with the hassle associated with such a switch. But thanks to primary research from Business Insider Intelligence, we offer a look at how early adopters could be swayed to give such a service a try.

In this report, Business Insider Intelligence looks at how wireless network operators will use their 5G networks and FWA to tap a new revenue source and disrupt the home internet market. First, we explain the basics of 5G FWA. Next, we look at the broader home internet market and the areas that could drive demand for 5G FWA service. We then outline how telecoms can set up 5G FWA networks and offer strategies they could pursue to encourage consumer adoption of these networks. Finally, we discuss how FWA broadly will impart lasting transformations on the home internet market.

Companies mentioned in this report include: Altice, Apple, AT&T, CenturyLink, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Frontier, Google, Hulu, Netflix, Samsung, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Qualcomm
