Maybe you know that David Bowie was born David Jones, or that the St. Louis Cardinals were previously the St. Louis Browns, Brown Stockings, and Perfectos, but did you know that PayPal was originally called Confinity, or that Yahoo was briefly named “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”? Okay, so it’s entirely possible you knew the answer to both of those, but are you willing to stake your semi-professional reputation on your knowledge of bygone brands? We hope not, because that would be a ridiculous thing to wager on a silly quiz. Anyway, you know the drill: Read questions; answer questions; tell your friends; allow to dry overnight in warm, clean spot; repeat. Take Our Survey by Chris Morran via Consumerist

Walmart’s ShippingPass service has always been intended as a competitor for Amazon’s Prime membership, and now the program has formally launched to the public. After recently cutting down its shipping window to two days to match its competitor, Walmart is celebrating the public opening by matching Amazon in another way: by offering a 30-day free trial, perhaps hoping that shoppers will come to depend on the service and never want to leave. “Once you start using it, it’s hard not to notice the everyday low prices on the stuff you need and want,” Fernando Madeira, president and CEO of Walmart United States said in a statement . “Just remember, if the day you shop with us ends in a “y”, you’ll be saving.” While ShippingPass doesn’t offer the extras of Amazon Prime like streaming video , Washington Post discounts , or access to a grocery box service that doesn’t make a lot of sense , it does give Walmart shoppers Prime-like benefits for half the price. Where the mega-retailer offers th...

The next time your Uber driver takes a turn too fast or slams the brakes at the last second, Uber will know. The company says driver behavior will start to be tracked through its app soon. Uber is rolling out new software on its app for drivers in dozens of cities for a test phase this week, which uses sensors in drivers’ phones to report back to the mothership, the company announced . Starting Friday, drivers in at least nine U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago will see a summary of how their driving was for each trip, with separate scores for acceleration and braking, and a map that shows where each incident was logged, The Wall Street Journal reports. If a driver goes over the speed limit, Uber will alert them via the app in real time. Uber’s also testing ethnology that uses the gyroscope inside drivers’ phones to detect when they’re moving or touching the device, perhaps to text or perform other distracting actions. That’s happening in test cities separate...

For years, regional airlines, government agencies, and pilot groups have warned that new regulations, higher costs of school, and lower salaries had led to a shortage of pilots that could affect the number of flights smaller carriers are able to offer. It now appears that this scarcity of youngsters hoping to someday take flight could result in airlines beginning to run out of pilot in as few as three years. Bloomberg , citing a study by the University of North Dakota’s Aviation Department, reports that as more pilots reach the mandatory age of retirement – and fewer young fliers enter commercial aviation – the pilot deficit could soar to 15,000 in 10 years. The shortage was illustrated earlier this year when regional carrier Republic Airways, which provides short-haul flights for several major airlines, filed for bankruptcy citing the ongoing regional pilot shortage. As a Government Accountability Office report found in 2014, many would-be pilots have changed their career pat...

Google is everywhere. It’s the world’s biggest search engine, the most popular phone operating system, the most popular web browser, an incredibly popular e-mail service, and a thousand other things. That means it knows a lot about you, especially if you you log in to a Google account and sync or unify your profile about services. Seeing exactly how much it is they know about you, and how it’s used… well, that’s been a little harder. Until now. Google, like Facebook before it , is opening up another wave of personalized ad services. Rather than just using cookies (now woefully old-fashioned, in internet years) to decide what to display you, Google will use a wealth of behavioral information it’s gleaned about you internet-wide to show you stuff on non-Google sites. Here’s the good news: unlike the competition, Google is making their service opt- in . That means that by default, you are not participating. You have to deliberately go and move a setting for your data to be used in this ...

A movie theater in California issued an apology this week for making the mistake of playing a trailer for Sausage Party (R-rated, expletive-laden dark comedy featuring self-aware food facing imminent, violent death by human) to a bunch of people there to see Finding Dory (under-the-sea, feel-good family flick). Oops. The East Bay Times reports that the incident happened earlier this month, though movie officials haven’t put a date on exactly when. The theater’s vice president of operations said the mistake was a brief one. “Playing that trailer was a one-time honest mistake by a theater manager moving screens around in effort to accommodate several large last-minute groups wanting to see Dory ,” said Walter Eichinger of Brenden Theatres in a statement. “The wrong movie was started by mistake.” Sausage Party ‘s trailer starts like it could shape up to be a harmless romp through a land filled with brightly colored anthropomorphic food, packages of hot dogs and buns getting all exc...

Weeks after announcing plans to enter the Middle East market with an amusement park in the United Arab Emirates, Six Flags revealed this morning that the company is in talks to possibly open multiple parks in Saudi Arabia. Texas-based Six Flags Entertainment Corporation says that it has initiated discussions with the government of Saudi Arabia to “pursue development of Six Flags-branded theme parks in that market.” The company says talks began when the Saudi Deputy Crown Prince recently visited the U.S. to promote Saudi Vision 2030 , the nation’s blueprint for investment and development over the next decade and a half. “We are honored to have this opportunity to bring Six Flags to Saudi Arabia,” said John Duffey, President and CEO of Six Flags in a statement. “We look forward to supporting Saudi Arabia’s efforts to expand tourism by creating new world-class entertainment destinations in the Kingdom.” Six Flags, which had for decades operated only in North America, has rapidly sped ...
