Apple could make the iPhone’s NFC more useful at WWDC
[ad_1] This may also lay the groundwork for Apple’s rumored Tile-like tracking tag, although there’s nothing strictly linked to trackers in the leak.

Combined with the translation feature, it appears as if Google wants to offer a range of specialized searches instead of a one-size-fits-all function. It’s not certain when the […]
As fun as it ever was
[ad_1] James TrewManaging Editor I remember like it was yesterday. It was 1991, and I had my nose pressed up against the glass outside a branch of Dixons, on Park Street in Bristol (England). I was staring at a revolutionary new handheld console that would change gaming as we know it: the Atari Lynx II. […]
Mental health apps are sharing data without proper disclosure
[ad_1] A handful of these apps (which revolved around issues like depression and quitting smoking) shared particularly sensitive data like health diaries and voluntary substance use reports.
