Have you noticed? Google’s entire business model is based on you surrendering to their corporate surveillance. That’s it. All they do is repackage mass corporate surveillance into convenient, free, trendy applications that suck up all your data. Your private data helps Google dominate the online advertising market. You are the product. The other key issue to consider here is that Google is tracking and recording your activity in order to build a user profile, which can be used for various purposes. Google has many ways to track your activity, even if you are not logged into a Google account: Tracking through Google Adsense (all the banners you see on most websites also function as tracking) Tracking through YouTube and other Google-owned platforms and products … [Read more...] about Parallel Universe: A list of alternatives to all Google products

Apple and Samsung face off in court — again — over design patents
It's go-time for that legal battle that refuses to die: Apple v. Samsung.The two smartphone giants will meet in a San Jose, California, court for a week starting Monday to determine how much Samsung owes for illegally using three Apple design patents and two utility patents. The lawsuit, initially filed in 2011, made it all the way to the Supreme Court in late 2016 before being sent back to the lower court. This will be the third district court trial for the case. Samsung has already been found to infringe Apple's patents. The argument centers on how much it owes Apple for copying some of its patented features, like the rectangular shape of the iPhone. Previously, Samsung paid $548 million, and $399 million of that is being reconsidered in this trial.

CPU Security Flaw: All You Need To Know About Spectre And Meltdown
A pair of bugs has silently infested CPUs from Intel, AMD, and ARM for years, and eradicating them has some potential downsides. We're referring of course to the Meltdown and Spectre bugs revealed earlier this week, which are present in modern processors. Microsoft, Apple, and other companies have updated their operating systems to address the problem—there is no way to fix the hardware itself—but doing so has introduced its own problems. People are most notably concerned about performance hits, and depending on who you ask, they could be severe or unnoticeable. We've been covering the fallout from Meltdown and Spectre's revelation, and we're going to continue to keep an eye on the story as it develops. We have collected links to all of our stories below to help you find this coverage amidst all the other daily news.

The Galaxy S9 is supposed to be boring
The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are upon us, and if there's one thing we already can safely say, it's that they'll be the best-selling premium Android smartphones of 2018. And we can also safely say that they'll hold that title by a very wide margin. This despite the fact that they look, feel, and function remarkably similar to the Galaxy S phones Samsung launched in 2017. You might even say the Galaxy S9 is kind of boring - a sentiment I've seen widely expressed in comments and across the web since its announcement yesterday. But before we dive in to that topic, let's get back to the numbers. Each year, Samsung sells more Galaxy S phones than any other single model of Android smartphone on Earth. By a lot. During the second quarter of 2017 (the first full quarter of S8 sales), an estimated 20 million Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices shipped globally - far outpacing any other single model of Android smartphone. The Galaxy S8 sold extremely well, and was extremely striking. The next closest … [Read more...] about The Galaxy S9 is supposed to be boring
