To build a fire — but not destroy the market by doing so. That’s the goal right now. It’s not as easy as in the famous Jack London short story (“Too Build a Fire”) where in the end the survivors profit rather than freeze to death in their sleep. In the early part of this decade, we saw the rise of Robinhood (HOOD) and the distribution of investments from the serious to the ephemeral. These days, Robinhood has the appearance of one gigantic bonfire of young peoples’ money. The gamification… Source link

2023 may be the year the password finally dies. Following Apple’s announcement that Safari in macOS 13 and iOS 16 will support the standard, Google has announced that passkeys are now supported in Chrome Stable M108. Passkeys are a simpler and more secure login standard for websites that lets you use an encrypted key rather than a password to authenticate apps and websites. The process is similar to Apple’s two-factor authentication in that you’ll use a portable device to… Source link

Washington CNN Business  —  Apple and Google’s continued hosting of TikTok on their app stores, despite US national security concerns about the short-form video app, reflects the tech giants’ “gatekeeper” power and should be made part of any antitrust reviews the app stores may face, a member of the Federal Communications Commission wrote to the Justice Department last week. The previously unreported… Source link

Meta Platforms’ Mark Zuckerberg isn’t the only CEO spending more time overseeing the development of costly consumer devices. At Google, CEO Sundar Pichai directly manages two executives in charge of hardware businesses—Rick Osterloh, who oversees Pixel phones, Fitbit fitness trackers and Nest smart home devices; and Clay Bavor, who is working on experimental projects such as augmented reality headsets. Google is prioritizing the development of its own devices as Apple increases… Source link

Apple tends not to be a first mover when it comes to new technologies, which often leads to the popular phenomenon of pundits declaring that the company “needs” to make such-and-such a product. But the real issue when it comes to Apple’s devices is that it often seems like the company dips its toe in the waters of a product category…then quickly pulls back as it feels the icy waters. Perhaps the best example in recent years is the HomePod. Smart speakers were a category that… Source link

Apple (AAPL) could have a few other problems on its hands in 2023 besides an uncertain manufacturing situation in China, according to one Apple bull on the Street. “I think there are two main issues lying ahead of Apple for 2023,” Oppenheimer analyst Martin Yang said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Number one is we’ve seen two years of very strong upgrade and replacement cycle for iPhone, … and that replacement cycle strength may weaken into ’23 by two factors. One is the majority of… Source link

Elon Musk is going to war with Apple (AAPL). The Tesla (TSLA) CEO and new head of Twitter took to his social media platform on Monday to call out the iPhone maker for pulling back on advertising on the site and called out Apple for its 30% App Store fees. In a series of tweets, Musk accused Apple of suppressing speech by requiring apps in its store to abide by certain content standards and questioned whether or not the company hates free speech in America. In one tweet, Musk specifically… Source link

Illustration: Quartz Anti-government protests flared in several Chinese cities and on college campuses over the weekend. But the country’s most widespread show of public dissent in decades will have to manage without a crucial communication tool, because Apple restricted its use in China earlier this month. AirDrop, the file-sharing feature on iPhones and other Apple devices, has helped protestors in many authoritarian countries evade censorship. That’s because AirDrop relies on direct… Source link
