This is a similar conclusion to the one arrived at by Ashwin Ramasamy, one of the co-founders of PipeCandy, when he attempted to find customers for his previous startup, ContractIQ, back in 2012. The business was a marketplace of mobile app developers, and so he and his team went after any and all businesses that outsourced their app development. As it turned out, that was a really big bucket and they wasted a lot of time cold-calling all the people who were never going to be interested in the first place—something they might have known if they’d had even the slightest bit of data about these companies going into the call....

While titles like Fortnite have taken the spotlight from Pokémon GO over the last year, Niantic’s head of marketing has shared some news on an upcoming update to the AR hit. Arriving by the end of the year, Pokémon GO will be adding a PvP mode. As reported by Variety, Niantic’s Anne Beuttenmüller, the company’s head of marketing for the EMEA region announced the news for the new player versus player mode:...

If there’s a holiday on the calendar, you can almost guarantee Pokémon Go will have an in-app event to promote the game. With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, Niantic announced today a special Valentine’s Day-themed event for trainers kicking off today through next week. Trainers will notice way more Chansey, Clefable, and other pink Pokémon spawning in the wild, and eggs hatched from walking will include Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum at a higher rate than usual....

Like some of you, I am limping by on my 2010 MacBook Air, but I have been anxiously waiting for this Ivy Bridge lineup of MacBooks to get released before buying a new Mac. As Walt Mossberg said, it is a good idea to wait until the new Apple products come out to upgrade, but it is starting to feel like forever (I know—it has only been a few months)....

It all started with the news of the four finger swipe today in iOS 4.3 for iPad which replicates the functionality of the home button. Soon, BGR coincidentally got a tip that the home button was going missing from future iPads and iPhones running around Cupertino. Other things to consider: How do you do a hard reset without a home button? And what about people without all of their fingers? The physical home button is still functioning when the touch panel interface crashes....

KGI’s Mingchi Kuo, an analyst with an excellent track record, has disputed an earlier suggestion by web analytics company Localytics that the iPhone 5s is outselling the 5c three-to-one, suggesting that actual sales are closer to 50/50 – with 5c sales actually likely to be somewhat higher. KGI estimates that the 9M initial sales comprised 3.5-4.5M iPhone 5s, and 4.5-5.5M iPhone 5c. The confidential briefing document points out that analytics data is based on activation (or, more specifically, use of the phone to browse the web and run certain apps), which is not the same as sales....

Apple has released macOS Catalina today with several new features, including Sidecar. Using a Mac with the latest operating system and an iPad with iPadOS 13, it’s now possible to turn the iPad into a second, fully interactive display. To interact with the Mac system through the iPad, however, users needs an Apple Pencil. And that has limited the functionality of the Sidecar feature for some iPad models. Apple has decided to restrict Sidecar only to iPads with Apple Pencil support....

Asia-based rumor site Apple Daily has acquired photos of what it claims are the next-generation iPhone, including the 5.5-inch model we’ve seen much less of in recent weeks. The two photos above show the larger device (with the purple interior) paired with a 4.7-inch version. The wider 5.5-inch model is to the right and the 4.7 display panel is on the left. While some may note that the part on the right does not appear much larger than the part on the left, it is possible that the image’s perspective does not highlight the size differentiation well....

Apple fulfilled three of my “minor-level” Mac dreams today, announcing (very) long-awaited updates to its 2007-vintage Wireless Keyboard and 2010 Magic Trackpad — accessories I’ve used and mostly loved for years — and a non-trivial update to the Retina 5K iMac it released last year. It also unveiled a sequel to its 2009 Magic Mouse, and a Retina 4K version of the 21.5″ iMac. Yes, it’s easy to call these releases “inevitable” in the sense that we’ve known all of them were coming for a while now, but some of the details were surprising....

Recently, the Chinese company has somewhat finally confirmed that there will be two variants of the rumored Oppo Find 7 – after having posted two different teaser images to social media accounts, saying that there will be a Oppo Find 7 variant with a Quad-HD and another with a full-HD display.

The bill authored by congressman André Figueiredo outlined a series of concerns around the decision by president Jair Bolsonaro, which established the rules and guidelines for data sharing between authorities and public sector bodies and created a single personal data repository for Brazil’s over 200 million citizens with information ranging from voice to gait. “The centralization of personal data the government wants to put into practice can make such information very vulnerable and accidentally, or unlawfully, cause the destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or even unauthorized access to such personal data,” the congressman stated....

Popular camera app, Halide, has been researching and testing the cameras in iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. In short, they’ve found that the new cameras are a huge departure from previous generation iPhone cameras. The team at Halide confirms Apple’s marketing that the new camera systems in the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max bring them into the new era of ‘computational photography’. It’s less about the hardware and more about how the software takes advantage of the hardware....

Ping is a network tool mainly used to test whether a host is reachable across an IP network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the source to the destination computer. Ping works by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the destination host and waits for an ICMP response. It also measures the time it takes for the packets to return. When you are unable to “ping” the destination host either by IP Address or by hostname, you should pay close attention to the results provided by ICMP....

The security researcher who identified a serious flaw in Apple’s Gatekeeper reports that the vulnerability remains despite two security patches applied by the company. Each, he says, only blocks the specific apps he used to demonstrate the method. Gatekeeper in theory allows users to ensure that their Mac will only run apps downloaded from the Mac App Store – or alternatively, signed by a known developer if you opt for a lower level of protection....

The Punisher actor Ben Barnes has shared the first ever deleted scene from one of Marvel’s Netflix shows. The Marvel Netflix series were a tremendous success - right up until the moment they weren’t, and the partnership between Marvel Television and Netflix fell through. It was a massive blow to Marvel Television, particularly because they weren’t yet ready to announce future shows on Hulu and Disney+. As a result, it meant Marvel lost some of their most popular small-screen stars in quick succession, including the likes of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, and of course Jon Bernthal’s Punisher....
