What I shared on Twitter, and a bit more…
800 #Apple engineers are working hard to extend its lead on having most widely used camera. https://www.flickr.com/cameras https://x.com/CNET/status/762589170862792704
No one is surprised by news of security bugs in #Android. #Google can’t easily fix these, market far too fragmented. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37005226
I like #PokemonGo, played it in Japan, was fun. But am I alone in seeing it as a highly effective #flashmob tool? It’s #FlashMob2.0!
#PokemonGo will need major changes to launch in #China. It can’t use #Google logins, maps, etc. Will it partner up with #Tecent?
#Tesla #Gigafactory might be over budget and over time? Just a typical tech project then. http://fortune.com/2016/08/05/tesla-gigafactory-costs-delay/
Amazing! Even science is not enough to explain such achievement. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/swimming/10768083/Michael-Phelps-The-man-who-was-built-to-be-a-swimmer.html https://x.com/Reuters/status/762504559906344960
It won’t be easy, but #Yahoo! can still grow with Verizon. AOL is still around after being bought by Verizon in 2015 https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-marissa-mayer-interview-issue/
The Official #Olympics app sucks. Make sure you download the Official #RioOlympics2016 app instead. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rio-2016/id808228096?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
For #Apple, it is not just about mindless globalization, but to strategically invest into the future beyond China. http://bizlive.vn/biznews/apple-mulls-building-in-1-billion-data-center-in-da-nang-1849718.html
Expect to see #AI Artificial Intelligence for app developers built into Xcode in #WWDC2017 or
#WWDC2018? http://www.geekwire.com/2016/exclusive-apple-acquires-turi-major-exit-seattle-based-machine-learning-ai-startup/
#Apple announces bug bounty program, as if hackers were not interested in the most valuable mobile ecosystem before. https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/04/apple-announces-long-awaited-bug-bounty-program/
It’s not about how big #Tesla losses are but how many more times can Elon gets away with missing production targets? http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/08/tesla-losses-grow-but-musk-says-production-goals-will-be-met-by-year-end/
