Apple entangled in another lawsuit following FaceTime bug

Image
Apple will have to appear before a judge once again, following a bug discovered on its video conference platform FaceTime. It allowed users to literally spy on their interlopers before they even responded to the call. Less than 24 hours after the news arrived, several people have decided to take legal action against the Cupertino giant. I heard about the big cyber attack in Germany. Have you? One of the complaints was filed in a court in Houston, Texas, by a lawyer who claims that FaceTime's bug allowed any stranger to spy on a private conversation he might have had with one of his clients. According to court documents, the lawyer claimed that the intrusion occurred while he was recording a client's testimony through Facetime. Until yesterday, spying on a user on Facetime was really easy! / © Apple / ANDROIDPIT The most worrying thing is the total ease with which it was possible to exploit this bug.

Google Arts & Culture now has built-in camera app for more fun interactions

Image
The Google Arts & Culture app is one of those underrated but really useful apps especially for those who are interested in, well, arts and culture. Now Google is adding another feature to the app that should make it more fun to use if playing around with artwork and experiencing museums virtually is your kind of thing. The app now has a built-in camera that has all sorts of fun things that you can explore like Art Selfie, Color Palette, Art Projector, and Pocket Gallery. Some of the features that you can find in the built-in camera aren't new to the app but you'll now be able to find them all in just one place. When you open the app and you tap on the camera in the middle, you can choose from among the four options. The Art Selfie matches your face with the artworks in Google's database. All you have to do is take a selfie with your front-facing camera and it will search through all the artworks that may match your image. This way, you might discover new artis

Nokia 2 V available today on Verizon for $70

Image
... Coming as no surprise, Verizon quietly launched the Nokia 2 V today. We've heard about this already, and even saw the kernel source code released. More importantly, however, you can pick up this little phone for just $69.99 from Big Red.  Here's what the Nokia 2 V is packing: As you might expect, this phone isn't a powerhouse. For starters, Verizon only has one color to choose from, so I hope you like blue. And there you have it. You can grab one for yourself directly from Verizon right now, if you want. Good on HMD Global for working with the carriers to bring the Nokia brand back into the U.S. proper, and I for one one hope it's a successful venture. #Google #Android #Smartphones #OS #News @ndrdnws #ndrdnws #AndroidNews

LG posts record profits for 2018, mobile division still losing money

Image
LG is doing great – it just announced a record yearly revenue of $54.4 billion and record profit of $2.4 billion, 10% higher than in 2017. The mobile division is weighing it down, however. LG Mobile had a revenue of $7.08 billion and posted an operating loss of $700 million. The company claims that the division is showing signs of improvement thanks to better control on spending and inefficiencies. This year LG will rely on operator-driven markets (North America and Korea) for stable sales and will push 5G phones and devices with "different form factors" to try and go back in the black. LG Home Entertainment posted a record profit of $1.35 billion. It will lean on its premium OLED TVs and large 4K TVs to increase revenue and profits. LG Home Appliance also posted a record profit of $1.35 billion and was LG's strongest performing unit in 2018.

This Mobvoi smartwatch can cover the basics and your wrist for $160

Image
This unassuming wearable may not be the most powerful or pretty, but it gets the job done on limited resources. Smartwatches don't have to be ultra-expensive status symbols; smartwatches can and do serve practical purposes. I may not be making calls on my wrist, but I do want to see why my phone keeps buzzing in my pocket as I walk around Walt Disney World — or just how many miles I'm walking — and a practical smartwatch at a practical price point is absolutely worth the investment. While the TicWatch E might not quite have the latest chips or the boldest look, it's a lifeproof watch that can do what you need without sucker punching your wallet on its way into your life. Mobvoi TicWatch E2 $160 at Amazon The E2 may not have the newest Snapdragon Wear 3100 inside, but with improved fitness tracking and more refined look, this watch is more than worth its modest price tag.

LG's mobile division lost over $700 million in 2018

Image
The company as a whole, however, saw record revenues of $54.4 billion. The smartphone industry as a whole is seeing a slowdown in sales right now, and one company that's not impervious to this shift in the market is LG. LG's mobile division has been struggling for a while now, but thanks to the company's official financial report , we now know just how poorly it performed last year. In 2018, LG Mobile Communications Company (the division responsible for smartphones), reported total revenues of $7.08 billion. While that sounds pretty good on its own, that still resulted in a total operating loss of $700.65 million for the year. Similarly, mobile sales decreased by 16% compared to Q3 2018 to $1.51 billion for Q4. Those aren't great numbers, but LG says that: The mobile division's business structure showed improvement as a result of better material cost controls and overheard efficiencies based on the company's platform modularization strategy.

Mobvoi TicWatch E2 Review: The Best-Value Wear OS Smartwatch

Image
Mobvoi decided to combat one of the biggest issues with today's smartwatches - price. The TicWatch E2 is a sub-$150 wearable with all of the features you'd expect from a smartwatch that costs twice (most times, even more) as much as its viable rivals. Mobvoi has quietly become a player in the Wear OS space. Not from releasing high-end smartwatches either. By releasing smartwatches that are actually rather inexpensive. The new TicWatch E2 is no different in that matter. It just launched about a week ago, and it is the cheapest Wear OS smartwatch on the market right now, with a $149 price tag. But where the next cheapest Wear OS smartwatch is close to $300 (talking original MSRP, not discounts), one has to wonder if Mobvoi skipped out on some features to hit that price point? The TicWatch E2 has been on our wrist for about a week now, and it has been mostly a good experience, though there are some bad spots too. Let's talk about the TicWatch E2 and see if it is worth the
