 Good morning! Here's the technology news you need to know this Thursday. 1. Apple CEO Tim Cook compared helping the FBI hack an iPhone used by a terrorist to "the software equivalent of cancer" and said it would be "bad for America" during an interview with ABC News. The comments came during Cook's first public appearance since the FBI order. 2. ISIS has released a 25-minute video featuring the faces of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg being riddled with mock bullet holes. ISIS has begun to respond with increasing urgency as Facebook and Twitter have attempted to block terrorist content on the network. 3. DeepMind, an artificial intelligence company owned by Google, has created a new health unit called DeepMind Health. The subsidiary has formed a team that will build new medical software underpinned by artificial intelligence. 4. Facebook users can finally start using new animated "Reactions." To use them, users must hover over the familiar thumbs-up button beneath any post to display all of the new animations. Besides just "Like," there's also access to "Love," "Haha," "Wow," "Sad," and "Angry." 5. Apple is already planning to create future iPhone software that's impossible to hack. According to new reports published by the Financial Times and The New York Times, Apple will introduce new security measures that will make it impossible to access customer data. 6. Britain's Committee of Public Accounts believes the amount Google agreed to pay in a tax settlement with the government was "disproportionately small" when compared with the size of the company's business in the country. In January 2016, Google agreed to pay £130 million in back taxes in Britain — prompting criticism from opposition who claim this amounts to a 3% tax rate. 7. Apple is planning to use a free-speech defence in its battle with the FBI over hacking an iPhone, arguing that code counts as speech. A cornerstone of Apple's public defence so far is that creating this tool for the FBI amounts to a "back door," which makes all its users less safe. 8. Netflix has launched a new version of its iOS apps that begin auto-playing the next episode of the show a user is watching in the same way that the Netflix web app does. The iOS apps are also said to feature a "more fluid" design. 9. LinkedIn is looking to bounce back from its stock crash by airing its first ever ad during the Oscars. Weeks ago, Linkedin's stock tumbled by 44% when it announced its quarterly earnings. 10. The guy who sold his startup for $1.26 billion to VMware has been poached by a top venture capital firm. Martin Casado, founder of Nicira and one of the most influential people in the networking business, is joining Andreessen Horowitz as its ninth general partner. |
