Prior to yesterday’s earnings call, analysts were united in one view on AAPL’s Q3 – that whatever the numbers might be, they were going to be affected by the coronavirus crisis, so we shouldn’t read too much into them. The assumption was that disrupted supply-chains, store closures and an economic downturn would all hit sales of Apple products. It turned out they were half-right … but very wrong! Analysts though Apple’s revenue would be down year-on-year....

AC Global Risk, a startup which has been described as selling ‘dangerous junk science,’ claims Apple is one of its clients … The Intercept reports that the firm claims that simply analysing yes/no answers to questions can, in ten minutes, determine someone’s level of risk – whether that’s as an employee or an asylum seeker.

After installing the Windows Subsystem for Android on several test PCs, I can confirm that it works as advertised. But as with Windows 11 itself, system requirements (and geographical restrictions) mean that many users are unable to test the new feature for themselves. If you’re among those who can install and run the necessary bits, be prepared to be underwhelmed by the extremely limited selection of apps. There’s good reason for the scarcity, though; the Android-on-Windows feature (which is still officially in Preview) doesn’t use Google’s version of Android, nor does it allow access to the enormous collection of apps in the Google Play Store....

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) proposed measures, outlined in a discussion paper [PDF], are aimed at providing new tools to cover anti-competitive conduct, barriers to entry, bargaining imbalances, and insufficient consumer and business user protections.

You may have visited some websites that have certain controls in place such as delaying the enabling of buttons and links on the page, or requiring that a captcha code be submitted prior to enabling components on the page. This is generally done to ensure that web spiders and bots that access your page, do not arbitrarily invoke the target components on the page.

Hunter ended up being the most loyal of the bunch to start and also the most hesitant, but it helped him quickly become a fan favorite addition to the series....
