Apple's Noise app wants to save your hearing

It's Tuesday, June 18, 2019. Hey, good morning! The next frontier of digital health? Your delicate ears. Apple’s latest update for iOS and WatchOS is all about hearing health. Meanwhile, we discover how AI could help catch Type 1 diabetes much earlier, and Huawei is bullish on the future. Oh, and we’re looking for writers in the US -- come join us!   iOS 13's expanded NFC support will make it possible.   Germans can soon use their iPhones as virtual ID cards   iOS 13's newly expanded NFC support will be useful for more than just your subway commute. In Germany, Apple-approved NFC identification docs will let residents scan their ID cards and use them both online and for check-ins through their phones at international airports. It has an answer to Sony's A9 mirrorless pro camera. Nikon isn’t done in the pro-camera fight     Nikon wasn’t finished with its Z6 and Z7 cameras, which marked the beginning of its new DSLR family. Company president Toshikazu Umatate has revealed to Japanese newspaper Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun that Nikon will launch a mirrorless "equivalent" to its flagship pro DSLR, the D5.    Battle viruses on your phone.   Nintendo brings 'Dr. Mario World' to Android and iOS on July 10th   Dr. Mario World has a release date: July 10th.

US recommends Windows users patch against worm vulnerability   The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Homeland Security's lead cybersecurity agency, said it successfully tested a working exploit for the BlueKeep vulnerability. Specifically, the agency was able to remotely run code on a Windows 2000 computer using BlueKeep. Why is that bad? The BlueKeep vulnerability is "wormable," meaning an attacker only has to gain access to one computer in order to gain control of all the other devices on its network. If you’re using a computer running an older version of Windows, make sure you’ve installed Microsoft’s most recent patches.   Expect new pings on your Watch and iPhone in loud places.

Editor's Pick: Cisco's Take on Making the World a Better Place

Cisco's Take on Making the World a Better Place

Rob Enderle Jun 17, 2019 11:14 AM PT

I attended Cisco Live last week, and one of the things that impressed me was how many amazing things the company has been doing that have nothing to do with products, services or revenue. Most companies have a philanthropic budget and donate, but they don't really seem to care if the money makes a difference. For most, philanthropy is more about uplifting their image than making a difference. [More...]

'Pokémon Go' cheaters never prosper

It's Monday, June 17, 2019. Hey, good morning! Welcome to your Monday morning! Over the weekend, cheats never prosper as the creators of Pokémon Go sues a group of cheaters who used hacked apps to breeze through games. (Conveniently, we also run through the history of video-game cheating through the decades.) And, while it may not be cheating, spies may have used an AI-generated face to infiltrate US politics. That’s a little more involved than the Konami code. It might be your best chance to get the EV you want.   Tesla starts selling used Model 3 cars online   The EV maker has started selling used Model 3s online in the San Francisco Bay Area, and some of them are potentially good deals (if not as good as you often see with used cars). There’s some extra peace of mind here, too. As with Tesla's existing in-person used-car sales, each vehicle goes through a 70-point inspection and comes with either a four-year, 50,000-mile warranty or a two-year, 100,000-mile warranty. One selection of hacked apps is apparently ruining Niantic’s games.   Niantic sues group of alleged 'Pokémon Go' cheaters   Niantic is holding Global++ to account for its unauthorized versions of Pokémon Go, Ingress and even Harry Potter: Wizards Unite  -- which isn’t even out yet. The company says the modified mobile apps not only violate intellectual property rights but "undermine the integrity of the gaming experience." It’s all to allow teams to focus on the development of 'New World' and 'Crucibles,' apparently.   Amazon Game Studios reportedly lays off dozens in shake-up   Timing is everything, so why did Amazon decide to lay off dozens of its Game Studios employees on the last day of E3, the world’s biggest gaming show? The company reportedly told affected employees that they only have 60 days to find new positions within Amazon. If they fail to do so within that period, they'll have to leave the company with (thankfully) a severance package in tow. The company's statement reads: "Amazon Game Studios is reorganizing some of our teams to allow us to prioritize development of New World, Crucible and new unannounced projects we're excited to reveal in the future." We've come a long way from unplugging your sibling's controller.   A brief history of cheating at video games   Andrew Tarantola takes us through the history of video-game cheating, from the Konami code all the way up to Valve’s Anti-Cheat system.   But wait, there's more... 1.

Today's Story Highlights

Retailers' Most Common Cloud Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
It's easy to understand why so many retail organizations have moved
their infrastructure to the cloud. Cloud-based architecture allows
provisioning nearly infinite compute instances on-demand in minutes.
There is no need for upfront licensing or infrastructure costs, meaning
a faster ROI can usually be realized. Best of all are the unmatched
agility and scalability of the cloud.

Can Brands Protect Privacy While Personalizing?
I sometimes think personalization is the best thing that happened to
humankind in terms of marketing. As a consumer, I love getting
suggestions on what to buy, especially when it's exactly what I need.
Sometimes I feel as though I'm under constant surveillance, however, so
I turn on my ad blockers, I surf in private mode, and I report ads that
are not relevant to me.

Internet's Crowds Stunting Its Growth: Trends Report
More than half the world's population -- 3.8 billion people -- have
access to the Internet and that may not be a good thing for business,
according to digital savant Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2019 report.
Global Internet user growth has slowed to 6 percent year over year, down
from 7 percent, noted the Bond Capital general partner. The Asia-Pacific
region leads in both users and potential.

Are You Gish-Galloping Your Business Toward Disruption?
Recent events have led to many people learning about a long-understood
rhetorical tactic called "Gish galloping." Named after creationist Duane
Gish, it means confronting an opponent with a rapid-fire series of
arguments -- including half-truths, misrepresentations and outright
lies. Confronted with such a BS barrage, the opponent may try to refute

China-US Trade Tension Is Causing Irreparable Damage to High-Tech
While trade disputes between countries are nothing new and seldom are
remembered, the ongoing one between China and the United States may
change the course of the electronics industry going forward. In the
beginning of the dispute proposed tariffs excluded electronics for the
most part. The U.S. even modified some initial proposals to avoid
impacting Apple and other U.S. tech companies.
