| Apple's reluctance to adopt 5G could hurt the company's growth in the long-run, Tesla is bringing back its (overpriced) phone charger and Google is in court fighting against the 'right to be forgotten.' Here's your Daily Crunch for September 11, 2018. 1. Apple's 5G iPhone conundrum There are many reasons for Apple to ignore 5G adoption this year, but doing so could potentially hurt the company in one of its most crucial markets, China. 
2. Tesla's sleek wireless charger smartphone charger will soon be available again Can't afford a Tesla? How about this Tesla smartphone charger instead. The first time around, the charger was $65 but now it will cost $50. Similar wireless chargers can be had for less money and often sport a larger battery. But they don't say Tesla. 3. Google is back in court arguing against a global 'right to be forgotten' Back in 2014 the European Court of Justice ruled search engines must respect Europe's privacy laws, and — on request — remove erroneous, irrelevant and/or outdated information about a private citizen. Google was not at all happy with the judgement, and kicked off a major lobbying effort against it — enlisting help from free speech champions like Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales. 4. Veeam server lapse leaks over 440 million email addresses In one of the year's largest breaches, data security giant Veeam is believed to have mislaid its own database of customer records. The database of more than 200 gigabytes — including two collections that had 199.1 million and 244.4 million email addresses and records respectively over a four-year period between 2013 and 2017. 5. LinkedIn sucks LinkedIn is a spam garden full of misspelled, grunty requests from international software houses that are looking, primarily, to sell you services. Because it's LinkedIn it's super easy to slip past any and all defenses against this spam. 6. The ambitious real estate 'unicorn' Opendoor just made its first acquisition, snapping up Open Listing OpenDoor is on a mission to make buying and selling residential real estate as simple as few key strokes. It got closer to that goal today by acquiring Open Listing, a four-year-old, L.A.-based startup that aims to automate the work of a real estate agent, thus reducing the fee an agent would take. 7. Vietnam's new automaker shows off vehicle 'designed' by its citizens VinFast, Vietnam's new (and only) automaker, turned to its citizens to decide what its inaugural vehicles should look like. Now, VinFast is sharing the first images of the final product — a sedan and SUV that will debut October 2 at the Paris Motor Show. |
