Dropbox acquires HelloSign

THE DAILY CRUNCH MONDAY, JANUARY 28 2019 By Anthony Ha Dropbox makes a major acquisition, Google faces complaints about its ad targeting and the world needs more cybersecurity professionals. Here's your Daily Crunch for January 28, 2019. 1. Dropbox snares HelloSign for $230M, gets workflow and eSignature Dropbox's SVP of engineering Quentin Clark sees this as more than simply bolting on electronic signature functionality to the Dropbox solution. For him, the workflow capabilities that HelloSign added in 2017 were key to the purchase. "What is unique about HelloSign is that the investment they've made in APIs and the workflow products is really so aligned with our long-term direction," Clark said. "It's not just a thing to do one more activity with Dropbox, it's really going to help us pursue that broader vision." 2. Google and IAB ad category lists show 'massive leakage of highly intimate data,' GDPR complaint claims The complaint — lodged last fall by Dr. Johnny Ryan of private browser Brave; Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group; and Michael Veale, a data and policy researcher at University College London — alleges "wide-scale and systemic breaches of the data protection regime by Google and others" in the behavioral advertising industry.

Naspers takes full control of Russian classifieds site Avito in $1.16B deal South African internet conglomerate Naspers is best known for backing Chinese tech giant Tencent, but it also operates a vast network of online classifieds businesses.

Contentsquare, the digital experience insights platform, raises $60M Series C Contentsquare offers cloud-based software that helps businesses understand how and why users are interacting with their app, mobile and web sites. 6.

Hey there,

I know you'd be extremely busy so I'll cut right to it.

You linked to one of my favorite resources, Apple's FaceTime article, on your post http://inewsheadline.blogspot.com/2011/03/latest-from-techcrunch_03.html

I created a super detailed guide on a similar topic FaceTime on Android, an Android version of the Apple article we both like. You can check it out here - https://joyofandroid.com/facetime-for-android/

I think it would be a useful mention on your post given Android is now #1 mobile operating system. It's a tricky topic and I wanted to clear up the confusion in people's mind.

I know it takes some effort to go and make a change like this but I can maybe make it worth your time by:

• Sharing your article on social media (we have over 26k followers) or
• Mentioning your site in my article

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

Facebook is shutting down Moments

THE DAILY CRUNCH FRIDAY, JANUARY 25 2019 By Anthony Ha Facebook is shutting down Moments, a new StarCraft-playing AI beats pros and we get an early look at a Theranos documentary. Here's your Daily Crunch for January 25. 1. Facebook is shutting down Moments; here's how to save all your photos Facebook Moments, the standalone mobile app designed to let users privately share photos and videos, is shutting down next month. The reason is simple: Not many people used it. For those who did use it, there are two export options. One will create a private album on their Facebook account; the other option downloads everything to their device. 2. StarCraft II-playing AI AlphaStar takes out pros undefeated AlphaStar is different from the traditional StarCraft AI. It learned from watching humans play at first, but soon honed its skills by playing against facets of itself. 3. Theranos documentary review: The Inventor's horrifying optimism The documentary that premiered yesterday at the Sundance Film Festival explores how the move-fast-and-break-things ethos of Silicon Valley is "really dangerous when people's lives are in the balance," as former employee and whistleblower Tyler Shultz says in the film. 4. Facebook to encrypt Instagram messages ahead of integration with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger As first reported by The New York Times, the social media giant said it's reworking the underlying infrastructure of its three messaging apps to allow users to talk to each other more easily. 5. Smartphones are about to get more interesting, but is it enough to drive growth? The mobile industry is at a crossroads. 6. Microsoft acquires Citus Data Citus Data is focused on making PostgreSQL databases faster and more scalable. Microsoft says it will work with the team to "accelerate the delivery of key, enterprise-ready features from Azure to PostgreSQL and enable critical PostgreSQL workloads to run on Azure with confidence." 7. Ultima Thule shows its lumps in latest images from New Horizons flyby The latest image from the New Horizons probe shows the rocky world of Ultima Thule in considerably greater detail.
