| 1. GOOGLE POP-UP TEASES POSSIBLE NEW GAMING HARDWARE: At this year’s Game Developers Conference, which is currently taking place in San Francisco, Google will present its keynote today at 1 p.m. ET. To tease the upcoming event, the tech giant set up a pop-up museum outside the conference, complete with a new logo. The company is expected to introduce new gaming hardware based on streaming technology. Variety: "In the weeks leading up to tomorrow’s big event, Google has been teasing the 'future of gaming' with tweets and short videos. It also has been quietly building up its staff. Most notably, last week former EA and Ubisoft studio lead and game developer Jade Raymond announced she is now a vice president at the company, though didn’t specify specifically what her role would be there. It’s likely we’ll learn more about that Tuesday as well." 2. FYRE FESTIVAL MERCH TO BE AUCTIONED OFF: To help pay back some of the $26 million that Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland owes to victims, the U.S. Marshals Service will auction off two boxes of festival merchandise, including branded T-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, hats, wristbands, and medallions. The money from the sale will then be distributed to vetted victims. A date for the online auction has not been set yet.Vulture: "'Our objective always is to get the funds back to the victims as fast as we can in cases where there are victims,' the Marshals also said. Since proceeds from T-shirts and whatever else found thus far won’t cover everything McFarland owes to victims, they would get a percentage 'based on their respective losses,' according to prosecutors." 3. NCAA WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT BRACKET LEAKED: On Monday afternoon, hours before it was scheduled to be revealed, the 2019 NCAA women’s tournament bracket was shown on air during an ESPNU telecast. The “unfortunate technical error” forced ESPN to move up its tournament selection show by two hours and also ruined college watch parties, some of which were then cancelled. The Washington Post: “'In working with the NCAA to prepare for tonight’s women’s selection special, we received the bracket, similar to years past,' ESPN host Maria Taylor said in a statement read on the air before the show began. 'In the midst of our preparation, the bracket was mistakenly posted on ESPNU. We deeply regret the error and extend our apology to the NCAA and the women’s basketball community. We will conduct a thorough review of our process to ensure it doesn’t happen in the future.'” |
