What if I were to tell you that there’s big money to be made from hacking Facebook and Google, but not necessarily in the way you might imagine? So far this year, Google hackers have earned more than $3.5 million doing just that. As for Facebook, it made payments of just under $2 million last year. Yes, I’m talking about security vulnerabilities and the money available for those who can find them. Bug bounty platforms are the legal route to a profitable hacking career. Both Facebook… Source link

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo OAKLAND, Calif., Sept 10 (Reuters) – Android app makers suing to stop Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google from siphoning up to 30% of their sales received little reassurance about their chances on Friday as a judge allowed a comparable fee charged by Apple Inc (AAPL.O) to stand. Developers including “Fortnite” maker Epic Games in the last year took aim at the two biggest mobile… Source link

The competition among purveyors of plant-based protein is heating up the fast food industry with a frenzy that resembles the increasingly hot chicken sandwich wars. On Thursday, McDonald’s (MCD) announced its plan to test its first ever plant-based burger, the McPlant, it created with Beyond Meat (BYND) in a strategic three-year partnership. For now, however, the Sept. 29 launch is limited to 10 restaurants in the United Kingdom and Ireland. On October 13th, it will expand to 250 locations… Source link

This week’s “flash crash” that dragged bitcoin (BTC-USD) back below $50,000 — and sent other digital coins reeling in its wake — marred what should have been the momentous occasion of the first sovereign country on earth adopting a cryptocurrency as legal tender.  Despite the ugly price action, most of crypto’s true believers are still just that — even as some observers question bitcoin’s head-spinning volatility, and El Salvador’s decision to throw its weight behind it.  Michael… Source link

A California district judge struck a blow to one of Apple’s (AAPL) major revenue engines on Friday by ruling that the iPhone maker needs to give app developers the ability to offer alternative app payment options to consumers. Apple currently restricts developers to using its own Apple payment service, which automatically draws a 30% commission from the sale of apps. Developers including Spotify (SPOT) have complained of the commission for years, but the ruling by District Judge Yvonne… Source link

Now that Jamie Spears has formally moved to end his pop star daughter’s controversial 13-year conservatorship, it raises the question of when the arrangement will actually expire — and whether Britney Spears’ searing claims of abuse will be formally addressed.  At least for now, the conservatorship, which has received enormous public scrutiny since it was first set up over a decade ago, is still in effect.  Yet the elder Spears filed a motion this week, stating that Britney Spears’… Source link

Morgan Stanley’s Chief Investment Officer Mike Wilson says investors should always be positioned for a market correction of 10%, but warned that investors may not be ready for a harsher correction that could be coming soon. “You should always be expecting a 10% correction. If you’re investing in equities, you should be prepared for that at any time,” Wilson told Yahoo Finance on Friday. “A 20% correction, which is really more disruptive, where people might want to try and position… Source link

President Biden has clearly lost patience with vaccine resistors. “My message to unvaccinated Americans is this: What more is there to wait for?” Biden pleaded in a Sept. 9 television address. “Your refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing.” His tone was practically contemptuous, especially when referring to some red-state governors who are blocking masking efforts and other public-health measures. But Biden is worried, too, because the surge in the Delta coronavirus… Source link
