John P. Mello Jr.
Nov 30, 2017 11:18 AM PT
Four big tech players this week moved to improve their handling of open source software licensing violations. Red Hat, Google, Facebook and IBM said they would apply error standards in GNU GPLv3 to all of their open source licensing, even licenses granted under older GPL agreements. "This will make everything consistent with GPLv3," said IP attorney Lawrence Rosen. [More...]

The Twitter Trump takedown artist speaks. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30 2017 By Darrell Etherington

Twitter's Trump-spoiler speaks, Snapchat gets a new look and Apple closes a gap. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for November 30, 2017.

1. This is the Twitter employee who shut down Trump (however temporarily)

A Twitter employee famously turned off the lights on Trump's Twitter account when he knew he was leaving the company. It only lasted 11 minutes, but it was a profound silence, even if brief.

Now, the employee is revealed, thanks to the detective work of TC's Tito Hamze and Ingrid Lunden. They got the exclusive first interview with the hero of the left-leaning internet, and it's a doozy.

2. Snapchat's big makeover

Snapchat launched its all-new look and feel a bit earlier than expected based on previous reports. The redesign isn't maybe as dramatic as you would've expected, but it might make it more broadly approachable as the social network looks for growth beyond its core demographic.

3. Apple patches a huge hole

Apple has released a fix for the flaw that would allow anyone to access your Mac as a root user without a password. That's good, because this was a huge bonehead bug included in High Sierra.

4. Essential founder takes a leave of absence

The founder of Essential, Andy Rubin, has left the company temporarily after The Information began investing reports that he left Google in 2014 because of HR complaints, rather than because he wanted to pursue robotics without the institutional cruft of a large organization like Google as previously stated.

5. The Boring Co. wants to connect Chicago's O'Hare and downtown

Looks like The Boring Co. wants to start making money – and without requiring that Elon Musk sell more hats. It's bidding on a job to connect Chicago's O'Hare Airport with downtown via an underground express train.

6. Google gives you an ally in the mobile data wars

Google is launching a new mobile app that will help you manage your mobile data on Android, and can even help you control usage from specific, individual apps when needed.

7. Alexa goes to work

Voice assistants as an enterprise play? Alexa seems destined for the workplace, likely with an official announcement as soon as later today.

Snapchat splits social and media. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29 2017 By Anthony Ha

Snapchat rethinks its approach with a new redesign, Microsoft is expanding its headquarters and Apple fixes a security flaw. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for November 29, 2017.

1. Snapchat starts algorithm-personalized redesign splitting social and media

In an op-ed for Axios, CEO Evan Spiegel said, "We are separating the social from the media."

More specifically, the redesign will place all messages and Stories from friends to the left of the camera (with content from your closest friends prioritized), while message and Stories from publishers and celebrities will show up on the right.

2. Microsoft announces huge expansion to 'modernize' its Redmond HQ

"Next fall, we will break ground on a multi-year campus refresh project that will include 18 new buildings, 6.7 million square feet of renovated workspace, $150 million in transportation infrastructure improvements, public spaces, sports fields and green space," the company said.

3. FCC's Ajit Pai: 'When it comes to an open Internet, Twitter is part of the problem'

The FCC chairman complained about how Twitter treats conservative users. He also dismissed criticism of his plans to undo the country's current net neutrality rules.

4. Waze gains support for HOV lanes, motorcycles and voice activation

The new features are either firsts for a navigation app or just super convenient.

5. Uber says 2.7M UK users affected by 2016 data breach

Uber only publicly disclosed the existence of the data breach this month, nearly a year after learning that hackers had accessed data on a total of 57 million Uber users and drivers.

6. Apple releases a macOS security update to fix huge login security flaw

If you're on a Mac, you should update right now.

7. All of Marvel's heroes come together in the first trailer for 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Avengers Assemble! (All of them.)
