| Facebook has been paying teens $20 a month for total access to their phone activity Posted: 29 Jan 2019 04:18 PM PST  Facebook has run a program to collect intimate user data from paid volunteers for the past three years, according to a new report. TechCrunch reported that the company has been paying people ages 13 to 25 as much as $20 month in exchange for installing an app called Facebook Research on iOS or Android, which monitors their phone and web activity and sends it back to Facebook. The company confirmed the existence of the research program to TechCrunch. Facebook was previously collecting some of this data through Onavo Protect, a VPN service that it acquired in 2013. The data has proven extremely valuable to Facebook in identifying up-and-coming competitors, then acquiring or cloning them. Facebook removed the app from the App Store last... |
| Apple blames revenue loss on China censoring video games Posted: 29 Jan 2019 03:20 PM PST  Apple says it lost revenue due to China's temporary ban on approving new video games last year. The financial hurt from the censorship of iOS mobile games was one of the many reasons Apple cited for its $4.8 billion revenue decline in Greater China during the 2018 holiday quarter, with the company generally pointing to the country's economic slowdown. "The App Store in China is a large business for us," Apple's financial chief, Luca Maestri, said during an earnings call today. "We believe the issue around approval of new game titles is temporary in nature but clearly it's affecting our business right now." The video game ban does appear to be lifting, although titles are still getting approved at a slow pace and the criteria for which... |
| Apple sales revenue fell billions in China, wiping out other gains Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:51 PM PST  Apple pinned the blame for its falling sales revenue primarily on issues in China, and now its quarterly earnings release shows just how much its sales in the region fell short. During its 2018 holiday quarter, Apple brought in $13.2 billion in Greater China, down from nearly $18 billion during the same period the prior year. That nearly $5 billion dip was more than enough to wipe out small gains in the Americas and the rest of Asia Pacific. Sales revenue also fell slightly in Europe and Japan, which, combined, accounted for a $1 billion annual decline. Apple saw sinking sales revenue in China across all of its leading products — iPhones, Macs, and iPads — and reduced foot traffic in its stores.... |
| Apple says there are 1.4 billion active Apple devices Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:23 PM PST  Apple announced its first-quarter earnings results today, and though the company reported that iPhone sales revenue fell 15 percent during the holiday quarter, it hit a new milestone for the number of active devices installed. Apple says there are now 1.4 billion active Apple devices, which basically covers anything running on one of the company's software platforms; iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple TVs, iPods, and Apple Watches are included in this category, while accessories like AirPods aren't. Of those devices, 900 million are active iPhones in use, which is up 9 percent over the previous year, according to a stat CFO Luca Maestri gave in a Financial Times interview. "While it was disappointing to miss our revenue guidance, we manage... |
| Apple says it’ll lower iPhone prices in certain countries Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:15 PM PST  Apple's iPhone revenue dropped 15 percent this past year over the year prior, and now CEO Tim Cook is saying the company is reconsidering its pricing. In an interview with Reuters, Cook says certain currencies experienced a more drastic iPhone price increase over time. "When you look at foreign currencies and then particularly those markets that weakened over the last year those (iPhone price) increases were obviously more," he told Reuters. "And so as we've gotten into January and assessed the macroeconomic condition in some of those markets we've decided to go back to more commensurate with what our local prices were a year ago in hopes of helping the sales in those areas." On the company's earnings call, Cook mentioned that the... |
| San Francisco proposal would ban government facial recognition use in the city Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:07 PM PST  A San Francisco lawmaker is introducing legislation today that would make the city the first in the nation to ban the government use of facial recognition technology. The Stop Secret Surveillance Ordinance, set to be proposed by supervisor Aaron Peskin, would require departments in the city to seek approval from the Board of Supervisors before using or buying surveillance technology, a check that other cities have already implemented. The legislation would also create annual audits of surveillance technology to ensure the tools are properly used. If approved, the ordinance would also create a blanket ban that stops those departments from purchasing or using facial recognition... |
| This lamp with a hidden camera could be in your next Airbnb nightmare Posted: 29 Jan 2019 02:03 PM PST  Earlier this month, Panasonic announced a new home security camera that's integrated into the stem of a floor lamp. The terrifyingly named HomeHawk Floor is designed to be discreet — the whole idea is to let you monitor the inside of your home without the need for obvious cameras everywhere. Panasonic has launched an Indiegogo campaign to sell the lamp for prices starting at $185, as reported by Android Police. The company boasts that the camera is capable of recording 1080p HD footage through its 140-degree, eye-level wide-angle lens. It has a motion sensor and the ability to save two seconds of footage recorded before the sensor detects movement, a mic and speaker for two-way communication, and an app for iOS and Android. It works... |
| Amazon will fund computer science classes at over 130 New York City high schools Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:54 PM PST  Amazon has begun its slow entry into New York City, where housing costs will rise even higher, 40,000 jobs will supposedly be created, and the city's crumbling subway system will be pushed to new limits. To soften the blow, the tech giant is now coming out with a plan to fund computer science courses for over 130 high schools in New York City, which is about a quarter of the total number of high schools in the city. Amazon's going to pay for intro and Advanced Placement college-level courses to schools within the five boroughs. The plan addresses a pretty big need in schools, where coding classes can sometimes be scarce, especially considering the number of jobs out there that could use coders. At the same time, it helps Amazon build... |

| Apple’s iPhone sales revenue fell 15 percent during holiday quarter Posted: 29 Jan 2019 01:43 PM PST  Apple just announced its financial results for the company's Q1 2019 fiscal quarter, which includes the 2018 holiday shopping season. Apple reported revenue of $84.3 billion, a decline of 5 percent from one year ago, and quarterly earnings per share of $4.18. "Revenue from iPhone declined 15 percent from the prior year, while total revenue from all other products and services grew 19 percent," Apple said in a press release. Analysts had estimated revenue of $83.97 billion and earnings of $4.17 per share. It was the first decline for both revenue and profit in a holiday quarter that Apple has posted since the iPhone's introduction more than a decade ago. "While it was disappointing to miss our revenue guidance, we manage Apple for the... |
