Today's Story Highlights

Gmail to Warn Users of Unencrypted Email
Google last week announced that it is developing features for Gmail that
will notify them when they get messages through a nonencrypted
connection. Regions of the Internet are preventing message encryption by
tampering with requests to initiate SSL connections, and malicious DNS
servers are publishing fake routing information to email servers looking
for Gmail, a study found.

Sales and Marketing Sentiment: Feeling Is Perception Is Reality
About a year ago, I conducted a survey that led to my company's first-
ever Sales & Marketing Sentiment Study. The idea was to get inside the
heads of people in sales and marketing and reveal their feelings about
the way they worked, the technology they used, and about each other. We
split the results into sales and marketing responses and compared them.

Time for Apple to Broaden Its Model?
Apple shares have been sliding since Credit Suisse last week warned of
weaker-than-expected iPhone 6s demand. Credit Suisse lowered its
earnings estimates for calendar year 2016 by 6 percent, based on Apple
cutting component orders by as much as 10 percent due to the weak
demand. Credit Suisse lowered its calendar year estimates to 222 million
units from 242 million units.

Alibaba Crushes Global Online Shopping Day
Alibaba on Wednesday settled $14.3 billion worth of gross merchandise
volume via Alipay, the company's online payment solution, during China's
11.11 Global Shopping Festival. That surpassed last year's $9.3 billion.
Mobile GMV settlements accounted for about 70 percent of this year's
sales. By 2 p.m. China time, more than 70 million mobile buyers had made
purchases worth $7 billion.
