Amazon lied to Congress about its use of third-party seller data, the House Judiciary Committee said today. In a letter to the Department of Justice, the committee chairs asked prosecutors to investigate the company for criminal obstruction of Congress.
“Amazon lied through a senior executive’s sworn testimony that Amazon did not use any of the troves of data it had collected on its third-party sellers to compete with them,” the letter says (emphasis in the original).
The committee said that not only was Amazon’s sworn testimony knowingly false but that repeated attempts to get Amazon to correct the record or to provide evidence to substantiate its claims were either rebuffed or ignored.

Thunderbolt 4 can hit speeds of up to 40Gbps and support up to two 4K displays or even an 8K panel. And with Apple's newly listed cable, you can reap those benefits from a nearly 10-foot distance.
As spotted by The Verge today, Apple has listed a 9.8-foot-long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable on its online store, saying the product is "coming soon." That length offers greater flexibility than the longest Thunderbolt 4 offerings from cable makers like Belkin (6.6 feet), Cable Matters (6.6 feet), and Plugable (6.4 feet). The extra length could be just what the doctor ordered for large offices and studios. Even the countless brands on Amazon don't offer a Thunderbolt 4 cable at a comparable length.
As with any product from Apple, the 9.8-foot Thunderbolt 4 cable comes at a premium. Apple is selling the cable for $159, or about $16.22 per foot. For comparison, Belkin's longest Thunderbolt 4 cable is $10.61 per foot, Cable Matters' is $9.09 per foot, and Plugable's is around $10.94 per foot.

Film and music executive David Geffen, broadcasting executive Barry Diller, and Diller's stepson Alexander von Furstenberg collectively spent over $108 million to buy $40/share call options of Activision Blizzard stock on January 14, according to the report. On January 18, when the Microsoft merger plans were announced, those shares rose 26 percent to $82.31, representing an unrealized gain of about $60 million for the three investors. The value of those options could increase further if the merger goes through at Microsoft's proposed per-share price of $95.
"It was simply a lucky bet," Diller told the Journal. "We acted on no information of any kind from anyone. It is one of those coincidences."

The GPD Pocket 3 is a mini-laptop with an 8 inch touchscreen display, a swivel hinge that lets you flip the screen 180 degrees and fold it down flat over the keyboard for use in tablet mode, and full-sized HDMI and Ethernet ports.
It also stands out because it’s a modular laptop: you can remove the USB Type-A port on the back and replace it with a module to add functionality to the little laptop. When GPD launched the Pocket 3 last year, there were three modules available. But now the company introduced another module: a microSD card reader that sells for $30.
GPD Pocket 3 with USB-A, RS-232 and KVM modules
The microSD card reader module supports theoretical read/write speeds up to 160MB/s and 90MB/s, respectively and works with all versions of the GPD Pocket 3, including models with Intel Pentium Silver N6000 or Intel Core i7-1195G7 processors.
Swapping out GPD Pocket 3 modules is pretty simple: they’re held in place with just two screws. So you just remove those screws, pop out the old module, insert the new one, and then replace the screws. Since they’re basically connecting via a USB interface, they should be recognized immediately without the need for a reboot.
The new microSD card reader joins GPD’s existing Pocket 3 modules:
USB Type-A port (included on all versions of the Pocket 3)
RS-232 COM port (available as an option)
KVM module (available as an option)
The KVM module is one of the most niche options and truly shows one of the key benefits of a modular device like the Pocket 3. It has HDMI and USB inputs, allowing you to connect the Pocket 3 to another PC or server and use it like a terminal using the mini-laptop’s display, keyboard, and touchpad to control the connected device.
This can come in handy for IT pros who want to be able to connect directly to a headless server, for example. It’s not a feature most people will ever use, so there’s little reason to make the port available on all models of the mini-laptop. But folks who want the KVM module have the option of adding it.
Another benefit of modularity is that a company like GPD can continue adding new hardware features to a device even after it’s already shipped. While it wasn’t clear last year whether GPD would actually do that with the Pocket 3, the announcement of a new microSD card reader shows that the company is indeed continuing to develop new products for the mini-laptop.
Third-party developers can also create their own modules – one developer is working on a 4G LTE module and a “Clicker” module that adds power and volume buttons that are accessible when the Pocket 3 is folded for use in tablet mode.
While this kind of modularity is rare, GPD isn’t the only company taking this approach. The Framework Laptop is a 13.5 inch notebook where all the ports are modular. In fact, you can even sacrifice a port for an expansion card that adds additional storage space, among other things.
But GPD is the first company to offer a modular mini laptop with an 8 inch screen.
The GPD Pocket 3 is available for purchase through an Indiegogo InDemand campaign with prices starting at about $698 for a model with an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 processor or $1,047 for a Core i7-1195G7 model.
Alternately, you can save a few bucks by ordering directly from GPD’s AliExpress store or spend a bit more to purchase the Pocket 3 from Banggood and GeekBuying for slightly higher prices,
On Wednesday, the University of Maryland Medical Center announced that David Bennett, the first human to receive a pig heart transplant, died on Tuesday, March 8. His death comes roughly two months after the transplant; the cause of death wasn't specified.
The university's statement is short on details, and those will be critical for understanding the prospects for future transplants of this sort. Bennett was in very poor health at the time of the transplant, with his heart requiring mechanical assistance to keep him alive, so there are many potential explanations for his death that have nothing to do with the transplant. All the university is revealing is that the organ was not immediately rejected by Bennett's immune system and that his health had started declining several days prior to his death.
Understanding the causes of his death is critical because Bennett will not be the last human to receive a pig organ. Shortly after his transplant, a different group published results from an early clinical trial using hearts from the same genetically engineered pigs. In this case, the hearts were transplanted into brain-dead individuals rather than being used to keep someone alive, but the trial clearly represented a step toward normal transplants.
