[ad_1] Credit Karma will run as a stand-alone outfit, with existing CEO Kenneth Lin still in charge. Intuit expects the acquisition to close in the second half of 2020 if it clears the regulatory process. The deal makes sense for Intuit. While it has the budgeting site Mint under its wing, it doesn’t have a […]

[ad_1] In a statement, Schumer said, “These videos sure do make you chuckle; they’re creative. But China might be laughing at these TSA postings for very different reasons, and that should concern us and it’s why I am urging the TSA to find a different platform, and cease its use of TikTok now.” On Sunday, […]

[ad_1] The company appeared to have tested this in Germany before rolling it out to a wider audience that includes the UK. There’s no certainty this will prevent another antitrust case against Google. The competing directories are clearly visible, but they’re ultimately dwarfed by Google’s own info. Also, these may be a little too familiar. […]

[ad_1] It’s not surprising that DC Universe would have a new season ready. The service doesn’t have a huge catalog of original shows, and the biggest highlights are follow-up seasons to the earliest programs. The question is whether or not Harley Quinn will stay a DCU exclusive in the US. The service’s owner, WarnerMedia, is […]

[ad_1] Halo has a fairly simple business model: full-time, highly rated drivers who signed up (applications are closed due to high demand) got up to $400 per month for agreeing to carry a connected, video-capable ad installation on their cars while they worked. Effectively, the promos are smart outdoor ads on wheels — advertisers know […]

[ad_1] Not surprisingly, Ninja wasn’t fazed either. Besides deleting the tweets, he posted a video (below) blasting an “irrelevant” person for grasping in vain for popularity. “Same script every time,” he said, suggesting this wasn’t a particularly sophisticated hijack. The incident wasn’t the first for Ninja. In July of last year, scammers compromised his Instagram […]
