Hackers stole the email addresses of more than 200 million Twitter users and posted them on an online hacking forum, a security researcher said Wednesday.
Issues at Twitter are quickly becoming a trend.
The service was operational “even after I disconnected one of the more sensitive server racks,” Musk tweeted on December 24.
The crazy scenes at Twitter continue.
So what does Bending Spoons gain with the purchase? Another feather in its software cap, it’d seem. The European tech company makes apps like video editor Splice, 30 Day Fitness, Live Quiz and photo editor Remini, which combined have about 100 million users. via Tech Crunch
The announcement really does mark the end of an era. The fact that most note-taking apps of today feature an Evernote importer is a testament to Evernote’s popularity over the years.
I am really happy to have been a user from the early days and had the opportunity to speak on Evernote’s platform almost a decade ago.
While I feel Evernote’s product in 2022 is pretty compelling, and look upon Evernote Home fondly, it unfortunately took way too long to get to this point. In the last decade, we’ve seen many other more dynamic productivity and note-taking tools appear.
Let’s hope that this move could be a catalyst to kickstart Evernote again, though the odds seem stacked against it.
Florian Mueller (via Michael Tsai):
The world now knows that in January 2020, Google signed a three-year agreement with Activision Blizzard King (“ABK”), “pursuant to which Google agreed to pay ABK approximately $360 million” in order to dissuade Activision Blizzard from creating its own Android app store. Three-hundred and sixty million dollars for not competing.
Bad timing. Microsoft is already under scrutiny for antitrust issues with their purchase of Activision Blizzard King (ABK) with antitrust authorities having to make a decision soon.
Would Microsoft still allow ABK to stay on the Play Store? Or would they move them to the Microsoft App Store where the Xbox games already are?
Apple gave us a glimpse of its iCloud.com redesign last month, and now the redesign is officially available to everybody.
The new dashboard view feels a lot more useful than the previous design, and you can tell that there have been some subtle refinements.
Apple will need to continue to refine and improve its web services to compete with competing services such as Google and Microsoft that provide really robust and functional web services, but this is definitely a (small) step in the right direction.

Notion has announced Notion AI, which is currently in Alpha.
While there has been a lot of recent discussion of how AI and art can deal with the copyright challenges ahead, copywriting and other creative industries will soon face a similar challenge.
Notion says that Notion AI will be free during the Alpha, but will likely cost extra in the future. If the promotional video is anything to go by, it looks like it’ll be a great additional feature for Notion, and I’m looking forward to giving it a go.
