Description

The virtual WWDC begins June 22! The UK hasn’t played by Google and Apple’s rules and it seems like their contact tracing app is failing because of that. And yet, are Google and Apple making decisions above their station? Uber might be bailing out Lime. Microsoft is reconsidering its Windows X strategy. And Sensor Tower is the interesting raise of the day.Sponsors:Tibco.com/rideDoubleUp.agencyLinks: Apple kicking off week of virtual WWDC on June 22, jackets and pins for Swift Challenge winners (9to5Mac)UK finds itself almost alone with centralized virus contact-tracing app that probably won't work well, asks for your location, may be illegal (The Register) The U.K.’s Coronavirus Contact Tracing App Is a Complete Mess (Vice) Apple, Google ban use of location tracking in contact tracing apps (Reuters) Uber in Talks to Lead $170 Million Lime Investment at Lower Valuation (The Information) Confirmed: Intel is buying urban mobility platform Moovit in a $900M deal (TechCrunch) Microsoft confirms Windows 10X is coming to laptops amid big jump in Windows usage (The Verge) Facebook’s Oculus Is Developing a New Quest VR Headset (Bloomberg) Google Meet starts rolling out in Gmail, continuing Google’s quest to unseat Zoom (The Verge) Sensor Tower raises $45M as demand for app data grows (TechCrunch)https://www.reddit.com/r/RideHome/comments/gdyyoh/listener_feedback_post/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
