| Netflix Ends Five-Year Movie Deal with Epix Netflix says it's not renewing a distribution deal with cable network Epix, which means its U.S. subscribers will lose access to big Hollywood movies like "Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "World War Z" and "Transformers: Age of Extinction" at the end of September. The trade-off, says Netflix: It is making its own movies — but subscribers will have to wait a while to see most of them.
We’re entering a phase where everything is being de-bundled and all content will end up sitting in little silos that you have to pay extra money for. Want to watch Game of Thrones? HBO. Want to watch the excellent Daredevil series? You’ll need to pay for Netflix. Want to watch those Epix movies? Now you’ll need to pay for Hulu as well. Want to stream Under the Dome from somewhere? You’ll need to use Amazon’s Prime video streaming, even though that show is currently on regular TV, because they signed a deal. One has to imagine that eventually the winner(s) of all these streaming services (probably Netflix) will end up getting the content back as the smaller silos realize they aren’t making enough on their own. And then we’ll see bundling again. NYC’s Taxis Finally Launch an App to Compete With Uber NEW YORK IS launching the Uber of taxis. Insiders of the city's taxi industry are finally launching an app that lets users hail cabs and pay for rides using a smartphone. It's such a great idea you have to wonder what took so long.
In a recent South Park episode about the fight between Uber and the taxi companies, a mentally handicapped person kept telling the taxi companies that they could just try to improve their service instead of trying to destroy or ban the new competition (Uber). Politically incorrect? Sure, but it was their way of illustrating that the main problem with the taxi companies is their product isn’t convenient, and anybody should be able to see that. When you’re leaving the airport, there’s a nice simple taxi line, you wait for 2 minutes and then get in a taxi and drive to your destination. But trying to get to the airport (or anywhere else) is a royal pain with regular taxi companies. If you’re in the middle of the city you have to wait and wave down a taxi, and if you’re anywhere else, you have to call and deal with some really annoying person and then wait forever for the taxi that is usually late. Uber gets rid of the single biggest pain point, which is finding and getting in a taxi quickly. If the taxi companies and local governments had responded immediately with an extremely simple way to get a taxi, Uber probably wouldn’t be in the dominating position they are currently in. KeyRaider: iOS Malware Steals Over 225,000 Apple Accounts to Create Free App Utopia Recently, WeipTech was analyzing suspicious Apple iOS tweaks reported by users and found over 225,000 valid Apple accounts with passwords stored on a server. In cooperation with WeipTech, we have identified 92 samples of a new iOS malware family in the wild. We have analyzed the samples to determine the author's ultimate goal and have named this malware "KeyRaider".
We believe this to be the largest known Apple account theft caused by malware.
KeyRaider targets jailbroken iOS devices and is distributed through third-party Cydia repositories in China.
We told you the other day that it isn’t safe to jailbreak your iPhone, and then our comments were full of hateful replies from the trolls on Reddit who organized a flood of anger against us. But the facts are the facts. Jailbreaking your device is a bad idea, and it makes iOS significantly less secure. |
