#351 - Right In The Apples
from Stolendroids Podcast · host Stolendroids Media
To say that 2017 was a bit of a misstep for Apple would, I feel, be putting it lightly. However, maybe it's a misstep they need to have to get through and finally be free of the ever present question they've been haunted with for years: "Would Jobs have done that?" Meanwhile, 'Swatting' continues to be just about the worst thing related to video games. And yes, that includes horrendous wages, rampant sexism, and EA. Just trust us on this, it's still the worst. #totesbigly Headlines: YouTube leaves Fire TV earlier than expected WhatsApp drops Blackberry and Windows Phone support Apple says sorry not sorry HTC and Motorola say they don't slow down phones Neither do Samsung or LG Apple may face criminal charges of iPhone slowdowns Demand for the iPhone X seems to be dropping A lot of Apple devices were activated over the holidays People really like the Echo Dot Some Sonos and Bose speakers are vulnerable to hacking The Library of Congress won't archive every tweet after all DMCA exemption requested to save online games WHO considers recognizing gaming disorders Forever 21 data breach Swatting hoax leads to death of father of two Suspect was arrested in LA Zuke’s Favorite: Kylo really doesn't like his uncle Zohner’s Favorite: The Toys That Made Us
