1. Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg today: “We did not find it ourselves – and that is also on us.”

2. This button that has always turned this thing off no longer turns this thing off. Welcome to iOS 11.

It is stupid Collin Mulliner a security researcher who studied Bluetooth for years told Motherboard in a Twitter chat.

Motherboard tested this behavior on an iPhone with iOS installed and verified that Bluetooth and remain on in the settings after turning them off in the Control Center as some users have started to notice.

Turning off Bluetooth and reduces your exposure to potential attacks to hardware firmware and software so it good practice Barisani told me.

3. “Google signs agreement with HTC”. I read this three times and still don’t know what the agreement actually is.

About a year and a half ago I joined Google to pursue my dream job to create compelling hardware products built with smarts at their core.

Creating beautiful products that people rely on every single day is a journey and we are investing for the long run.

These future fellow Googlers are amazing folks already been working with closely on the Pixel smartphone line and we excited to see what we can do together as one team.

4. SEC says hackers may have traded using stolen insider info as Equifax celebrates attention diverting elsewhere

WASHINGTON Reuters The top markets regulator said on Wednesday that hackers accessed its corporate disclosure database and may have illegally profited by trading on the insider information stolen.

The incident comes just weeks after Equifax Inc a major consumer credit reporting agency disclosed that hackers had stolen data on more than million customers and underscores the threat cyber criminals pose to the integrity of the financial markets.

Two years ago it charged a group of mainly stock traders and computer hackers in Ukraine with the theft of thousands of corporate press statements ahead of their public release resulting in more than million in illegal profit.

5. Sheryl Sandberg says she’s “disappointed that our systems allowed this.” Reminder: She’s in charge of those systems.

SAN FRANCISCO Facebook is taking steps to stop marketers from being able to target advertisements in offensive ways on the social network through its system.

It the latest controversy to emerge for Facebook whose advertising business has been under intense scrutiny since the Silicon Valley company disclosed that it discovered approximately ads by fake accounts likely out of Russia that sought to sow political discord during the presidential election.

At its scale Facebook which has billion users relies heavily on automated software to sell ads and to monitor activity on the social network.

6. Two things about the Apple TV 4K: 1. Atmos support is coming, I’m told 2. It *only* runs in HDR, which can be weird

The Apple TV remote has also been subtly redesigned a white ridge around the menu button now which makes the thing far easier to pick up correctly in the dark and a new gyroscope in it for better motion tracking.

I watched The Dark Knight in HD on HBO Go with our video team and the Apple TV HDR processing blew out all the contrast in the image sharpened everything to hell and turned the film grain into noise.

I love that single system lets you log into your cable provider once and then instantly authenticate every app supported across every tvOS and iOS device even if major players like Comcast are holding out for now.

7. People definitely can’t call them “iVerge” anymore. Holy crap that’s a scathing review. lol

new Series smartwatch starts shipping this Friday and the biggest feature change between last model and this new Watch is that it has cellular capabilities.

While writing my review of the Apple Watch Series with LTE capabilities I experienced notable connectivity issues.

Unfortunately we still know when that software release is expected or exactly how it will fix the issue of the Watch connecting to cellular networks when supposed to.

8. One man’s recommendation engine is another man’s radicalization engine.

Google and Facebook have come under fire for allowing advertisers to direct ads to users who searched for or expressed interest in racist sentiments and hate speech.

Amazon customers buying products that were innocent enough on their own like cooking ingredients received bought prompts for other items that would help them produce explosives according to the Channel News.

In one instance a search for magnesium ribbon a product that can be used to make a crude fuse yielded a suggestion for two powders that explode when mixed together in the right proportions and then ignited.

9. I woke up this morning ready to pen a note of congratulations to @CherWang And then I saw details of the deal

It was a long wait but Thursday morning finally looked like the time for me to congratulate HTC on a smart move.

To be clear HTC still has a solid team of engineers that works on its branded devices such as its flagship smartphone which is touched by the sale.

A continued slide in revenue for HTC since then suggests these products are gaining traction at least not on the scale once enjoyed by smartphones and it since had to slash prices to keep up with the likes of Facebook Oculus and Sony PlayStation VR.

10. Quartz @qz is using Apple’s #ARkit tech to “help people understand objects in the news”

The scale of the iOS and Android userbases will make building apps more tempting to developers have already used ARKit to show off demos that include virtual pets food ordering bar charts and yes fidget spinners.

Bloomberg reported earlier this year that Apple already has hundreds of engineers working on various projects which suggests that the company has big plans for the technology.

Some such as The New York Story X and Quartz are already looking ahead but many others are likely to be left behind as Nieman Lab editor Joshua Benton pointed out in our coverage of event last week What was once the job of the iPhone is now being distributed bit by bit to a constellation of smaller and more personal devices the Apple Watch on your wrist the AirPods in your ears the AR glasses that everyone expects Apple to bring forth in the next few years.
