Truth be told, I’m not the greatest fan of World Password Day. Such whimsical labels for one day of the year tend not to make much difference to the overall awareness of important security issues for most users, it seems to me. However, I’ll make an exception for 2022 as three technology behemoths used the focus of password day to announce a stunning security pact. Ironically, a pact that could see passwords phased out in day-to-day use for millions of people. Here’s what Apple, Google and… Source link

George Karlaftis bull-rushed the center on his first football snap. This was in middle school, so Karlaftis’ already-gargantuan 6-foot, 200-pound frame (by his coach’s estimate) careened past the offensive line into the backfield for an easy sack. Problem was, Karlaftis jumped offsides and the play didn’t count. The 13-year-old didn’t realize it. He was playing American football for the first time. The Athens, Greece, native had recently moved to West Lafayette, Indiana, following the… Source link

Facebook is angry at Apple, and it’s not surprising. The iPhone maker is going to cost the social network upwards of $10 billion due to the iOS 14 privacy features called App Tracking Transparency, Facebook said recently after announcing its financial results. That’s because Apple’s ATT iPhone privacy features cut back on tracking by revoking access to the identifier for advertisers (IDFA)—a unique code that shows when people are seeing an ad on Facebook, Googling it and… Source link

FedEx (FDX) is getting inundated with job applications in what continues to be a hot U.S. labor market characterized by increased job switchers. “Just the last week, we had 111,000 applications for FedEx. That’s the highest in our history,” said FedEx COO Raj Subramanian on an earnings call Thursday evening. “To put that in context versus what we say in May, that was 52,000.” The flood of applications isn’t a surprise as FedEx earlier in the year lifted hourly wages for package handlers to $20… Source link

Tesla’s first quarterly earnings call on Wednesday night without CEO Elon Musk (by his own design) was as boring as watching a Pinto head down a quarter mile track for time.  But Wall Street pros say that the lack of Musk’s presence didn’t really matter, the more important thing is that Tesla (TSLA) continues to squeeze out more profits from each vehicle it makes.  “Tesla reported particularly strong 3Q21 operating performance, delivering its highest auto gross margins since Model 3 was… Source link

The stock market is on one impressive stretch headed into year-end, which may bode well for future returns.  Through late last week, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) had gone 189 days — or nine straight months — without being more than 5% from a 52-week high, according to researchers at Sundial Capital Research. The S&P 500 also had logged its 43rd day with a 52-week closing before November.  Sundial says 2021 has been one of the most “consistent” years ever for markets. That recent bout of… Source link
