We created a multi-variant targeted ad designed to show you the personal data that Facebook collects about you and sells access to. The ad would simply display some of the information collected about the viewer which the advertising platform uses. Facebook was not into that idea.
Maybe everyone should try Facebook’s advertising platform at least once so they can understand the kind of data that’s being collected about them.
Yahoo and AOL, kings of the early internet, saw their fortunes decline as Silicon Valley raced ahead to create new digital platforms. Google replaced Yahoo. AOL was supplanted by cable giants. Now they will become the property of private equity. Verizon, their current owner, agreed to sell them to Apollo Global Management in a deal worth $5 billion, the companies announced Monday.
In 2002, Yahoo had the chance to buy Google for 3 billion. (Same story says they nearly bought Facebook for 1.1 billion.)
In January 2000, AOL acquired Time-Warner for 350 billion.
What a decline.
Zoom:
Zoom Rooms weekly system restart functionality will restart your computer weekly with the following conditions:
- Between the hours of 2:00-4:00am based on local time on PC or Mac
- When there is no meeting currently in progress in that room
By default, the Zoom Rooms computer will restart on Saturday, but you can also select a day for the restart.
Instead of trying to deal with the memory leaks, Zoom decides to just force you to restart your computer weekly.
The marriage of carmakers PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic.
This is a stark contrast to the Chinese market where new car companies and brands keep popping up.
A billion people now have iPhones. According to my estimate, Apple surpassed the billion iPhone users milestone last month. Thirteen years after going on sale, the iPhone remains the perennial most popular and best-selling smartphone. Competitors continue to either shamelessly copy iPhone or, at a minimum, be heavily influenced by the iPhone. Looking ahead, Apple’s top priorities for the iPhone include finding ways to keep the device at the center of people’s lives while at the same time recognizing the paradigm shift ushered in by wearables.
Staggering.
More than five weeks after release, iOS 14 adoption is set to overtake iOS 13 as the most installed version of iOS, according to data obtained from Mixpanel’s iOS 14 adoption tracker.
Incredible feat.
