Netflix, once the sole player in the realm of the DVD by mail craze that later blossomed into the digital streaming era, will soon find itself sharing the pie with other media giants like Disney, Apple, and NBC as they debut their streaming platforms.

“I think the biggest threats to Netflix are going to be those companies that have very deep catalogs and at the same time are going to be producing quality content that consumers want,” Kevin Sandler, film and media studies professor at Arizona State University told Fox News.

NETFLIX BOSS DEFENDS PULLING ‘PATRIOT ACT’ EPISODE IN SAUDI ARABIA: ‘WE’RE NOT IN THE TRUTH TO POWER BUSINESS’

Apple TV Plus launched on Nov.1, Disney Plus is scheduled to debut on Nov. 12 followed by NBC’s streaming service called Peacock and HBO Max next year.

Marc Randolph, Netflix co-founder, and the company’s first CEO, however, welcomes the emergence of new streaming platforms — telling Fox News he is not worried about the media giant’s future.

“I think actually for Netflix, it’s nice. It gives them some discipline in terms of saying how are we going to compete and maintain our edge, maintain our prevalence in the streaming world,” Randolph told Fox News. “But I’m not worried. You know, Netflix always behaves like a startup, which means it’s always willing to do what it has to do to make sure it meets customer needs in the future and not relying on what it did in the past.”

Randolph, who was replaced as CEO in 1999 by Reed Hasting and left Netflix altogether in 2002 shortly after the company went public, said what differentiates Netflix from Disney, Apple, NBC and others is the company’s “focus,” which could prove to be its “secret weapon.”

“I mean, the only thing Netflix does is streaming and movies. They are very disciplined, very focused. Whereas you look at Disney, which of course, has a studio, but they also have theme parks and they have cruise ships. You look at Apple, which, of course, has the retail stores and its hardware,” Randolph said, adding that “the time that I think I’ll be worried about Netflix is when they come out with the Netflix theme park or the Netflix cell phone.”

But Sandler views Netflix’s limited revenue stream as a potential liability when it comes to competing with other established media behemoths.

“The fact that these other companies have multiple strands of generating revenue, partly because they are in a different media sector or have different elements among their media companies. So, Netflix has something to be concerned about because they have one source of revenue — generally subscriptions,” Sandler said.

While Netflix boasts a subscriber base that has reached nearly 160 million subscribers, all eyes will be on Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, and these other streaming services to see whether Netflix will remain in consumers’ digital streaming portfolio or if they’ll make a change.

Disney’s streaming service will only cost $7 a month and Apple TV Plus will cost $5 a month and free for one year for those who recently bought certain Apple products – all significantly cheaper than Netflix’s standard plan at $12.99.

Speaking at the New York Times DealBook conference Wednesday in New York City, Hastings addressed the looming streaming battle while underscoring the fact that Netflix has been competing with the likes of Hulu, Amazon, and YouTube, according to Variety.

“We’ve already got a lot of competition,” he said, according to the outlet. Now, “Everyone’s realized, ‘Wow, this internet thing works… and so now all the major media companies are investing in their own services,” Hastings said, adding that “Disney’s the one that we really have the most to learn from in terms of entertainment.”

Randolph, who recently released a memoir about the origin story of Netflix titled That Will Never Work, described the company’s growth as the “most astounding thing in the world.”

NETFLIX WILL CURB SMOKING IN ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS ABOUT ‘STRANGER THINGS’

“I mean, in the beginning, in those early days, I just wanted to be the size of a single blockbuster store. And then we passed that, I wanted to be the size of a small video chain. I never imagined we’d have one hundred and fifty million subscribers. I never imagined we making our own television shows and producing our own movies,” Randolph said.

The company, which Randolph said was sparked from an idea after watching a movie with his daughter who had trouble sleeping at night rather than this “epiphany story that it all became clear [after] a late fee on a movie” has since grown from its small headquarters at a Best Western to a $125 billion company.

“I wrote this book because first of all, I wanted people to know the untold story of Netflix, how it was not always this global streaming behemoth, but it was, in fact, at one point this tiny, struggling company in an office with dirty green carpets and no furniture.”

And while the competition has certainly increased as digital disruption continues to take over, Randolph assured Netflix isn’t going anywhere.

“I named my book That Will Never Work because that’s probably the most frequent thing I heard. My second most favorite expression was nobody knows anything, that no one has any idea what the future is going to bring — and if they say they do, they’re lying to you, which means I haven’t the slightest idea what the future brings. And I don’t think Netflix does either,” Randolph said. “But what they do know is that they’re going have to change. They’re going to have to be willing to adapt … whatever happens, whether the future of TV is beaming telepathically into your [head], Netflix will be there,” He added.

The Pentagon and industry are taking new technical steps to quickly alert commanders in the event that the U.S. comes under nuclear attack by increasing the time window with which decision-makers have to both defend and potentially retaliate.

This includes using emerging software and hardware technologies and new architecture to, among other things, migrate time-sensitive targeting data to the cloud, increase network resiliency and better connect space, air and ground nodes into a fast, seamless integrated threat analysis system.

The current work, which includes new technical methods of engineering communications nodes within a broad network, is part of an overall Pentagon strategy to improve missile warning systems as quickly as new technology emerges. The effort, according to Missile Defense Agency officials, can be described as ongoing improvement of its Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications System.

F-35 SET FOR LASER BOOST

“We continuously upgrade and improve our existing systems to make sure the warfighter has the most effective system available to defend the country. We call it spiral development where we put something that is working out into the field and then don’t stop there. We look for the next improvements such as software upgrades,” Mark Wright, Chief Spokesman, Missile Defense Agency.

The aim of C2BMC, according to MDA statements, is to “collectively see the battle develop and dynamically manage designated network sensors.”

Wright explained that the strategic and tactical intent, for instance, is to network various space-based, terrestrial and maritime sensor assets to create a coordinated picture of fast-approaching attacks.  He mentioned, for example, that this would include connecting ship-based Aegis radar with air assets or ground-based THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile batteries.

‘FIRST-CUT-OF-STEEL’ BEGINS NEW ERA IN NUCLEAR WEAPONS, SUBMARINE WARFARE

One key program now under development by the Air Force and Raytheon is called FORGE (Future Operationally Relevant Ground Enterprise), a technical apparatus engineered to gather, store, safeguard and network missile-attack related sensor information. It involves synchronizing fixed ground terminals with other nodes such as air and space assets; it also leverages cloud technology. In effect, when Spaced-Based Infrared sensors (SBIR) detect the heat and light signature of an enemy missile launch, the data is then networked to key ground sites and passed to the appropriate decision-makers – such as the President.

“Migration into a cloud construct is used as a process element for the OPIR (Overhead Persistent InfraRed) mission so that it can make use of existing ground architecture. We want to make sure military members can see missile warning in real-time by using persistent processing to tip off other systems,” Todd Probert, Vice President, Command and Control, Space and Intelligence, told Warrior.

Using cloud technology in this fashion enables otherwise disparate servers and fixed locations to see threat data simultaneously, thus expediting response protocol. An enemy ICBM would typically take about 20 to 30 minutes traveling through space en route to its target, creating time pressure as lives hang in the balance.

NEW AIR FORCE NUCLEAR-ARMED ICBMS TO DEPLOY BY 2029

Raytheon is currently prototyping a handful of technologies with the Air Force, efforts which include building a series of computer interfaces, conducting data vulnerability assessments and leveraging the best commercial systems available to ensure continued modernization opportunities. Some of FORGE, Probert explained, has been informed by advanced weather information processing systems.

The ultimate goal of FORGE, as Probert explains it, is to “take data to a decision point. Getting the machines and the framework to go fast.”

The Air Force is testing a plasma reactor to destroy harmful chemical compounds in contaminated groundwater.

The manmade compounds, which are called per- and polyfluoroalykyl substances, or PFAS, have seeped into groundwater at a number of military bases as a result of their former use in firefighting foam. The compounds, which have also been used in a number of commercial and industrial products, have been dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not break down.

Last year the Department of Defense published a list of military installations that have water near or around them containing harmful levels of PFAS. Earlier this year New Mexico sued the Air Force over groundwater contamination at two bases.

TOXIC CHEMICALS CONTAMINATE CAPE

In an attempt to tackle the problem of groundwater contamination, the Air Force has been testing an innovative plasma reactor to “degrade and destroy” perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid, known as PFOS and PFOA, in groundwater. PFOS and PFOA are the most researched compounds in the PFAS group, according to the Air Force.

“PFOS and PFOA were components of a legacy firefighting foam the Air Force and others began using in the 1970s to extinguish petroleum-based fires,” the Air Force explained in a statement. “That firefighting foam has since been phased out by the Air Force.”

Civilian researchers recently completed a two-week field demonstration of a specially-built plasma reactor at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The Enhanced Contact Plasma Reactor is a closed system that uses water, electricity and argon gas to degrade PFOS and PFOA in minutes, according to the Air Force, which is working with Clarkson University and GSI Environmental on the project.

FDA FOOD TESTING FINDS CONTAMINATION BY ‘FOREVER CHEMICALS’

“We are trying to destroy or degrade PFAS impacted groundwater using electrical discharge plasma,” said Selma Mededovic, Ph.D., of Clarkson University, the project’s principal investigator, in the statement. “The argon gas concentrates PFAS at the gas-liquid interface, and plasma is generated at that interface, which then destroys PFAS.”

Through several cycles, the plasma reduces the PFAS molecule chain into smaller compounds and elements, the researchers say, adding that no additional chemicals or additives are needed.

“This is the only technology that actually destroys PFAS molecules that has been demonstrated at this scale. It doesn’t just remove them from water,” said Tom Holsen, Ph.D., of Clarkson University, the project’s co-principal investigator. “All of the other demonstrations that we’re aware of remove it from the water through filtration so there is still a PFAS containing waste. Our method actually destroys PFAS.”

AIR FORCE’S MYSTERIOUS X-37B SPACE PLANE RETURNS TO EARTH AFTER RECORD-BREAKING 780 DAYS IN ORBIT

During the demo, water was drawn from two monitoring wells at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base fire training area. Hundreds of gallons of groundwater were treated.

The next stage of the project is a detailed analysis of the treated groundwater and evaluating “scaling up” of the reactor design.

“PFOS/PFOA is a national issue, and research like this could lead to the breakthroughs we need to address potential contamination,” Mark Correll, deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for installations, energy and the environment, said in the statement.

In its statement, the Air Force noted that drinking water at Wright-Patterson AFB is tested regularly “and contains PFOS/PFOA well below the EPA lifetime health advisory level.”

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings defending the streaming platform’s decision to pull an episode of “Patriot Act with Hasan Minaj” in Saudi Arabia this past January — claiming that the company is not in the “truth to power business.”

Hastings commented about the decision at a New York Times DealBook event this week. The episode in question criticized Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the government’s reaction to the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year.

The Saudi government apparently told Netflix that the episode violated the kingdom’s laws against cybercrime. American intelligence agencies believe the brutal killing of Khashoggi was carried out on orders from the crown prince.

“We’re not in the truth to power business, we’re in the entertainment business,” Hastings told journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin, according to NBC’s Dylan Byers.

Netflix’s decision has sparked widespread complaints.

“Netflix’s claim to support artistic freedom means nothing if it bows to demands of goverment officials who believe in no freedom for their citizens — not artistic, not political, not comedic,” Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Human Rights Watch, tweeted at the time.

Karen Attiah, who worked with Khashoggi at The Washington Post, wrote that Minhaj “has been a strong, honest and [funny] voice challenging Saudi Arabia [and] Mohammed bin Salman” in the wake of her colleague’s murder. “Quite outrageous that Netflix has pulled one of his episodes critical of Saudi Arabia.”

Google has no intention of leaving the national security business, despite perceptions in some quarters that the tech giant is against working with the Defense Department.

The search giant’s senior vice president for global affairs said Tuesday that the firm currently has contracts with the Pentagon to work on cybersecurity, business automation and deepfake detection, and would like to have more, reports DefenseOne.

“It’s been frustrating,” Kent Walker said at the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence Conference in reference to perceptions that the company is against working on these issues.

Walker reportedly said that Google is “fully engaged” in various types of work with different Defense Department agencies.

“As we take on those kinds of things, we are eager to do more, [and are] pursuing actively additional certifications” to provide cloud services for classified data and other services, he added.

After some of the California-based company’s employees resigned in protest over its participation in the controversial Pentagon AI effort known as Project Maven, Google ended its role in the program.

DefenseOne reports that Walker said the withdrawal was actually focused on “a discrete contract, not a broader statement about our willingness or our history about working with the Department of Defense.”

He explained that Google had decided “to press the reset button until an opportunity [came] to develop our own set of AI principles, our own work on internal standards and review processes.”

New cyber and digital national security threats are coming not just from terrorists, but an “uptick” in counterintelligence campaigns from China, the FBI said this week.

ISIS and domestic terrorists are very effective at recruiting sympathizers via social media and the internet, FBI Director Christopher Wray and other intelligence officials said on Nov. 5, testifying before the Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing on security threats facing the country.

“With the broad distribution of social media, terrorists can spot, assess, recruit, and radicalize vulnerable persons of all ages in the U.S. either to travel to foreign lands or to conduct an attack on the homeland,” Wray said in a statement.

RUSSIAN HACKERS ON THE ATTACK BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE OLYMPIC BAN

The internet gives terrorists direct access to local American communities and the capability to spread their message “faster than was imagined just a few years ago,” he added.

Wray also pointed to domestic violent extremists and hate groups that now have global reach through the internet. To combat the threat, the FBI established the Domestic Terrorism-Hate Crimes Fusion Cell in the spring, Wray continued.

However, Wray devoted a lot his time during the hearing to the pervasiveness and persistence of the threat from China to American innovation.

China employs a wide range of bad actors to steal information from the U.S., he pointed out.

“[It’s] not just Chinese intelligence officers, but people they enlist to help them like contracted hackers,” he said in his opening statement. Wray added that a wide variety of Chinese posing as innocent university graduates and researchers also work on behalf of China.

“We see the Chinese government encouraging and assisting the abuse of incentive plans, like the so-called Thousand Talents program,” he said, referring to a program for Chinese and international scholars, according to the Financial Times.

HACKERS ARE DRAINING ATMS ACROSS THE US 

Overall, this kind of activity “is a threat to economic security and to national security. It is also a threat to American jobs, businesses, and big cities alike,” he testified.

The FBI has approximately 1,000 investigations involving the theft of U.S. based technology that leads back to China, he said. “It is a significant uptick from a few years ago.”

Additionally, the FBI has changed the emphasis regarding how it goes after cyber threats, focusing more on detection and less about intrusion.

“It is great to put locks and cameras and lights around the outside of your house,” Wray pointed out. “But if the guy has already managed to pay off somebody to get inside your basement and is just hanging out there, all the stuff on the outside is not going to do a lot.”

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who has a net worth over $100 billion, has slammed the tax policies of Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, saying her proposals could hurt building innovative companies in the U.S.

Speaking at the New York Times DealBook Conference in a wide-ranging interview, Gates said if taxes are raised too much, “you do risk the capital formation, innovation” seen in the country. Gates, who notes that he is a “primary beneficiary” of the tax system, added that he is “all for super-progressive tax systems,” but would become extraordinarily concerned if the system was drastically altered.

“I’ve paid over $10 billion in taxes, I’ve paid more than anyone in taxes,” he continued. “If I’d had to have paid $20 billion in taxes – fine. But, when you say I should pay $100 billion, ‘OK, I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over,'” Gates jokingly said during the interview.

Gates said he does not agree with Warren’s stance that billionaires should not exist at all in the U.S. “Maybe I’m just too biased to think that if you create a company that’s super-valuable, that at least some part of that, you should be able to have – a little bit for consumption, and hopefully the balance to do philanthropic things,” Gates continued.

The 64-year-old Gates said he had not spoken to Warren about her proposals, but added he is unsure if she would be willing to meet with him. “You know, I’m not sure how open-minded she is,” the billionaire philanthropist continued. “Or that she’d even be willing to sit down with somebody who has large amounts of money.”

He also refused to say whether he would vote for Warren, should she win the Democratic presidential primary, or if he favors President Trump in the 2020 presidential election. “I’m not gonna, you know, make political declarations,” he said.

“I hope the more professional candidate is an electable candidate,” he added.

Following his comments, Warren tweeted that she would be willing to meet with Gates and attempted to reassure him he would not pay $100 billion in taxes.

“I’m always happy to meet with people, even if we have different views,” she tweeted. “[Bill Gates], if we get the chance, I’d love to explain exactly how much you’d pay under my wealth tax. (I promise it’s not $100 billion.)”

The criticism from the Microsoft co-founder follows similar comments he made earlier this year when he slammed policy ideas put forth by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Alphabet’s board of directors is investigating how executives handled claims of sexual harassment and other misconduct — including the actions of Chief Legal Officer David Drummond, who has been accused of having relationships with employees.

An independent subcommittee has reportedly been formed to address the issues and the board has hired an outside law firm as well, according to CNBC. Alphabet is the parent company of Google.

The $90 million payment to former Google executive Andy Rubin — after an internal probe found sexual assault allegations against him to be credible — sparked a wave of protests at the tech giant that began with 20,000 employees walking out worldwide last November.

THE LATE JAMES DEAN LANDS A NEW MOVIE ROLE, THANKS TO CGI TECHNOLOGY

Jennifer Blakely, a former Google manager who wrote an essay in August for Medium describing an affair with Drummond, who was married at the time, painted an unflattering picture of a man who didn’t think twice about violating Google’s policy against dating subordinates.

“David was well aware that our relationship was in violation of Google’s new policy which went from ‘discouraging’ direct-reporting-line relationships to outright banning them,” she wrote.

Drummond, who received $47 million in salary and equity last year according to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, is the latest American tech executive to be called out in the #MeToo era.

Drummond released the following statement to news outlets when Blakely’s blog post was published.

“Her account raises many claims about us and other people, including our son and my former wife,” he said. “As you would expect, there are two sides to all of the conversations and details Jennifer recounts, and I take a very different view about what happened. I have discussed these claims directly with Jennifer, and I addressed the details of our relationship with our employer at the time. … Other than Jennifer, I never started a relationship with anyone else who was working at Google or Alphabet. Any suggestion otherwise is simply untrue.”

The Justice Department has charged two former Twitter employees with spying for the Saudi Arabian government, marking the first time federal prosecutors have publicly accused Saudis of spying in the United States.

The charges, unveiled Wednesday in San Francisco, detailed an effort by Saudi officials to recruit employees at the social media company to look up the private data of thousands of Twitter accounts whose users were critics of the Saudi government.

On Tuesday, former Twitter employee Ahmad Abouammo, a U.S. citizen, was arrested in Seattle for allegedly spying on the accounts of three users, one whose posts discussed insider information on Saudi leadership, on behalf of the government in Riyadh, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox News.

A second ex-employee, Saudi citizen Ali Alzabarah, was accused of accessing the personal information of more than 6,000 Twitter accounts for Saudi Arabia in 2015, the complaint said. One of the accounts belonged to Omar Abdulaziz, a prominent dissident and friend of Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who was beheaded by Saudi government agents last year, as first reported by The Washington Post.

A third person, Saudi citizen Ahlment Almutairi, was also charged with spying after he allegedly acted as an intermediary with Saudi officials and Twitter employees, according to the criminal complaint. Almutairi previously ran a social media marketing company that worked with the Saudi royal family.

All three of the former employees stopped working for Twitter in 2015. They are accused of working with a Saudi official who leads a charitable organization that belongs to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The criminal complaint alleged that the official, Bader al Asaker, was working at the direction of Mohammed and gave Abouammo at least $300,000 and a watch worth $20,000 for his efforts, according to the court document.

Alzabarah and Almutairi have not yet been arrested and are believed to be in Saudi Arabia. Neither Alzabarah nor Abouammo’s job duties at Twitter included a need to access a user’s private info, according to the criminal complaint.

Under U.S. law, Twitter can disclose user data to a government entity if there is a life-threatening emergency. Twitter maintains data about its users typically to tailor advertisements to users and recommend content, it has said.

“We recognize the lengths bad actors will go to try and undermine our service,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. “Our company limits access to sensitive account information to a limited group of trained and vetted employees. We understand the incredible risks faced by many who use Twitter to share their perspectives with the world and to hold those in power accountable.”

“We have tools in place to protect their privacy and their ability to do their vital work,” the spokesperson added. “We’re committed to protecting those who use our service to advocate for equality, individual freedoms and human rights.”

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite his surface-level loosening of repressive restrictions in the kingdom, has increasingly cracked down on critics. The CIA has linked him to Khashoggi’s killing in October 2018.

James Dean is coming back to the big screen.

The Hollywood heartthrob, who died in a 1955 car crash at the age of 24, is being brought back in the Vietnam-era drama “Finding Jack,” thanks to CGI technology that uses actual footage of the actor.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is based on the abandonment of more than 10,000 military dogs at the end of the Vietnam War. Dean will apparently play a character called Rogan, considered a secondary lead role.

“We searched high and low for the perfect character to portray the role of Rogan, which has some extreme complex character arcs, and after months of research, we decided on James Dean,” Anton Ernst, a director of the film, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Although “Finding Jack” will be live-action, the publication says that Dean’s performance will be produced via “full-body” CGI using actual footage and photographs of the actor.

The late thespian gained acclaim for films like “East of Eden” and “Rebel Without a Cause” before his career was cut short.

“This opens up a whole new opportunity for many of our clients who are no longer with us,” Mark Roesler, CEO of CMG Worldwide, which represents Dean’s family alongside many other entertainment, sports, music and historical personalities, told The Hollywood Reporter.
