Good morning! Here's the tech news you need to know this Tuesday. 1. Europe is about to hit Apple with its "largest tax penalty" ever. The figure could be as high as $19 billion. 2. A former Facebook news team worker says management basically ignored them. The team responsible for curating Facebook's Trending Topics news section was reportedly fired on Friday. 3. YouTube live video views are up 80% in the last year. Neal Mohan, head of product at YouTube, said the number of live video postings on YouTube grew by 30% over the same time period. 4. David Drummond, a longtime executive at Google parent company Alphabet, has resigned from his role on Uber's board of directors. The move comes as competition between the two tech companies mounts. 5. The new Apple Watch might have a longer-lasting battery. Leaked photos indicate the Apple Watch 2 could have a 35% larger battery, at least in the larger version. 6. Tech billionaire Sean Parker reportedly just bought a third adjacent townhouse in New York City. The new addition is directly adjacent to two other townhouses Parker already owns — one, a $20 million carriage house commonly called "Bacchus House," and the other a $16.5 million home next door. 7. Tim Cook cashed in $36 million in Apple stock. Cook still has about 3.5 million shares in Apple that are set to vest over the next five years, depending on performance. 8. Apple has been given permission to construct a new building at its European headquarters in Ireland. The expansion will allow Apple to employ an additional 1,000 people at its Hollyhill campus in Cork over the next 18 months. 9. Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom will be allowed to stream his appeal against extradition live online. The founder of the seized Megaupload websites is wanted in the US on charges of copyright infringement, racketeering and money laundering. 10. Apple sent invitations for the iPhone 7 event on September 7. The event will be held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. |
