Today's Story Highlights

At Long Last, Apple Delivers iPhone Batterygate Fix - and Much More
For those of you who have been suffering due to the iPhone's batterygate
problem over the last year, I have great news. Apple finally fixed this
nagging annoyance. Batterygate was a self-inflicted wound for Apple,
caused by a flaw in last year's iOS release, used by tens of millions of
people. The flaw did not affect everyone, but it was a major problem for
many of those who were impacted.

The Best of Both Worlds: Converging Online and Offline Shopping
Online and offline shopping businesses have to work together to improve
customer engagement and retention. Although some brick-and-mortar stores
are suffering revenue loss to online retailers, there is still an
important space for them in the shopping experience. By joining forces,
brick-and-mortar and online stores can meet the emerging needs of
today's customers.

The New Brick-and-Mortar: Shopping's Blended Future
With the advent of digital technologies and the radical growth of online
shopping, it might seem that brick-and-mortar stores are on the way out,
but that's not so. Physical stores are likely to remain far into the
foreseeable future. However, the nature of those stores will be
fundamentally transformed. Only those that become capable omnichannel
retailers are likely to survive.

The Crypto-Criminal Bar Brawl
As if e-commerce companies didn't have enough problems with transacting
securely and defending against things like fraud, another avalanche of
security problems -- like cryptojacking, the act of illegally mining
cryptocurrency on your end servers -- has begun. We've also seen a rise
in digital credit card skimming attacks against popular e-commerce
software such as Magento.

Silo Buster: Salesforce Attacks the Data Sprawl Problem
I have never been a big fan of the term "360-degree view of the
customer," mostly because you never can have a complete view of your
customers. It's simply impossible. Things happen that you don't capture
in the data, as CRM guru Paul Greenberg has pointed out. They get
divorced, their dog dies, they get a really nice birthday gift. Those
things can affect customers' buying behavior.
