    Epic Games wants to make your device vulnerable to attack simply because want to avoid publishing their popular game, Fortnite. Due to the fact that Google charges a distribution of 30% would mean a technical loss of revenue, but no different than iOS who also has fees associated. Doing this shows that Epic Games doesn't value it's customer base, it only values the money that it can make them. http://fortune.com/2018/08/05/fortnite-for-android-play-store-google-worry/ ||

  • 113: WhatsApp Ads!?
    The WhatsApp Business API will allow business to insert contextual and noncontextual ads into the application, thanks all in part to it's parent company, Facebook. I hate to say it, but if you don't want this, perhaps consider moving to another platform? Nothing speaks louder than a loss of users. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cW9JglN5cs ||

  • 111: Google Pixel 3 XL Notch Confirmation?
    The ugliness of a display notch is all but confirmed on Google's Pixel 3 XL. What other key features can it bring to the table to separate it from the crowd and can it actually build a better Face ID? ||
