How private is your Gmail, and should you switch? 2021/05/09 08:00:14 The Guardian
You might be surprised how much Google’s email service – and others – know about you. Here’s how to set some boundaries Most people are aware of the cookies that track them across the web, and the privacy-invading practices of Google search, but did you know Google’s email service, Gmail, collects large amounts of data too? This was recently put into stark focus for iPhone users when Gmail published its app “privacy label” – a self-declared breakdown of the data it collects and shares with advertisers as part of a new stipulation on the Apple App Store.

When Elon Musk's "Saturday Night Live" appearance is over, the individual segments from the show will be posted on Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) (NASDAQ: GOOG ) YouTube platform on May 9.

Roku called Google an 'unchecked monopolist' after the company added YouTube TV into its main YouTube app on the streaming platform's channel store (ROKU, GOOGL) 2021/05/07 21:19:06 Business Insider
Summary List Placement Roku called Google an "unchecked monopolist" in the latest development of a spat between the two companies, according to a statement shared with Insider. The comment was made after Google announced on Friday that it would allow users to access the YouTube TV app through its main YouTube app on Roku's streaming platform, a move that Roku called "anticompetitive." "Google's actions are the clear conduct of an unchecked monopolist bent on crushing fair competition and harming consumer choice," Roku said in the statement Friday. Roku also said, "we have simply asked Google to stop their anticompetitive behavior of manipulating user search results to their unique financial benefit and to stop demanding access to sensitive data that no other partner on our platform receives today." On April 30, Roku removed the YouTube TV app from its streaming platform because its deal with Google ended due to terms that Roku did not agree with. Those terms included what Roku says was a request from Google to share more sensitive customer data.

Perhaps we wasted energy achieving privacy concessions, when we should have been building a more foundational critique of the power of big tech For privacy activists, 2021 brings one big victory after another. First, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced in March that it would stop tracking individual users as they roam from site to site. This decision was part of Alphabet’s broader campaign to phase out the use of third-party cookies – an old but controversial technology, increasingly blamed for today’s lax culture of data-sharing.

Nasdaq jumps 2.3% as tech stocks lead a broad rally amid tempered inflation fears (INX, DJIA, COMPX, NDX, RUI, RUT, BTC-USD) 2021/05/14 20:06:39 Business Insider
Summary List Placement Tech stocks led a broad-based rally on Friday, with investors driving the Nasdaq up by more than 2% as Federal Reserve officials said they will stay with monetary policies that support economic recovery, with more signs of such improvement arriving as the trading week wrapped up. Wall Street's benchmark indexes extended gains made Thursday that snapped a three-session losing streak. Apple, Tesla, and Facebook were among big tech names that advanced. All 11 sectors on the S&P 500 rose, led by the energy group. Here's where US indexes stood at 4 p.m. on Friday: S&P 500 : 4,173.81, up 1.49% Dow Jones Industrial Average : 34,382.07, up 1.06% (360.62 points) Nasdaq Composite : 13,429.98, up 2.32% Stocks marched higher even after somewhat downbeat economic data Friday. The Commerce Department said retail sales in April were virtually unchanged from more than 10% jump in March, missing expectations, and a consumer confidence reading from the University of Michigan unexpectedly fell on inflation worries. "I think the lackluster readings have a lot to do with short-term factors and the market is looking through that," Rob Haworth, senior investment strategy director at US Bank Wealth Management in Seattle, told Insider on Friday."It's looking at a change in CDC guidance," that loosens restrictions on mask-wearing, "and it's still looking at getting to reopenings and what that next wave of activity may be." The miss in retail sales appeared to be offset by comments made Friday by Cleveland Fed Bank President Loretta Mester who said in Bloomberg Television that monetary policy is in a "good place" as officials still work on improving employment levels.

Walmart Q1 Earnings Might Be First Signs Of What Future Without COVID Rush Might Look Like 2021/05/17 14:23:36 Benzinga
When Walmart Inc (NYSE: WMT ) rang up record-breaking sales numbers but missed Wall Street’s expectations in the last quarter, it warned that the blockbuster results—for an essential retailer of its size—snagged during the pandemic would not be sustainable. As one of the chosen big-box stores allowed to keep its doors open—when most of the country was ordered into lockdown last year—WMT churned out mega sales numbers as consumers flocked to Walmart and Sam’s Club stores, as well as its e-commerce platform. On the flip side, WMT also racked up big-time expenses mostly tied to labor, sanitation, fulfillment costs, and technology. But the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company—still holding the mantle of world’s largest—said essentially that it was looking to take that consumer momentum and make hay while the sun was still shining and consumers had not yet fully ventured out to see it. On the Q4 conference call back in February 2021, Chief Financial Officer Brett Biggs said the last fiscal year was “the most challenging and unique time we’ve all faced.” “However, it’s also a time that presents great opportunities,” he added. “This is an important moment for Walmart and we are ready.” Will WMT be as ready as Biggs and Chief Executive Doug McMillion rallied for on that last call?

Retail Week On Earnings Row: Walmart, Target, Foot Locker Among Companies Reporting 2021/05/17 14:38:20 Benzinga
So much for “spillover.” Last week’s late recovery didn’t extend into Monday’s early hours, with overnight trading showing red. Caution, seen pretty clearly a week ago, appears to remain a factor, with bonds getting a slight lift and the 10-year Treasury yield slipping just a bit. Volatility also surged in the pre-market hours after relaxing into the weekend. There just isn’t the confidence of a few weeks ago, particularly in the Technology sector, and that’s what’s weighing. We’re at a fork in the road in terms of inflation, rates, and “back to work.” Can reality meet expectations when people go back to the office? Investors are afraid to commit, and who can blame them with so many question marks spinning around. For now, there’s caution and continued back and forth between value and growth. There’s no great catalyst at the moment. One other possible reason for initial weakness today could be some data earlier Monday out of China showing April retail sales rising less than some analysts had expected.

Biden's big cybersecurity executive order will be a windfall for both massive firms like CrowdStrike and niche startups like Dragos, experts say (CRWD) 2021/05/13 18:40:17 Business Insider
Summary List Placement Winners in Biden's cybersecurity executive order include big companies like CrowdStrike and niche startups like Dragos Biden's big cybersecurity executive order will be a windfall for both established firms like CrowdStrike and niche startups like Dragos, experts say The big winners under President Biden's new executive order on cybersecurity will be big cloud-security companies with existing relationships with the government – think CrowdStrike, FireEye, Microsoft, and Palo Alto Networks –as well as more niche startups whose services suddenly become critical. In an order handed down Wednesday, the White House laid out new policies and timelines for a cybersecurity industry reeling from the SolarWinds , Microsoft Exchange , and Colonial Pipeline attacks. The order requires more information-sharing from federal agencies and companies about cyber threats; a playbook for cyberattack responses; increased security modernization when developing applications; and more focus on the security of supply chains and industrial facilities.
Discord's CEO talks about what's next after reportedly rejecting Microsoft's $12 billion bid, and why he thinks the chat platform has an edge over rivals like Clubhouse 2021/05/13 18:22:00 Business Insider
Summary List Placement Discord had quite the year. In 2020, the group-chatting platform doubled its members, tripled its revenue, and expanded its usership well beyond its original gamer crowd. It's no wonder Microsoft reportedly offered $12 billion to buy it. Just don't expect Discord CEO Jason Citron to spill any details. "We received numerous offers, but, you know, are under strict NDA, so I can't comment on anything specific," Citron told Insider. For now, the company will stay independent. "We just feel like we are in a position to build one of the next-generation communication services," Citron said. The chat platform, which can be accessed through a website or app, was founded in 2015 by Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy to give gamers a virtual place to hang out. It's since exploded far beyond gamers, with 150 million monthly active users spanning communities that range from small study groups to massive fandoms. While Citron wouldn't comment on rumors of potential IPO plans , he did hint at other aspects of the company's future at a virtual press conference this week.

An influential PAC group is telling businesses to restart political donations, including to GOP lawmakers who voted to overturn the election results 2021/05/12 12:34:01 Business Insider
Summary List Placement Companies that temporarily stopped political donations after the January Capitol siege are being urged to restart contributions by a trade association that advises firms' political action committees (PACs), according to a report by Popular Information's Judd Legum . The National Association of Business PACs (NABPAC) has encouraged its members to "move beyond" the siege by restarting donations, the publication reported, citing internal documents. The group's membership includes more than 250 corporate PACs, and its board features representatives from Microsoft, Koch Industries, Kraft Heinz, and Cigna. On January 6, a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol to try and prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden's election win. In the immediate aftermath, many top US companies cut ties with the 147 GOP lawmakers who voted against the results. Dozen of companies, including Walmart, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, and AT&T , said they would stop giving donations to these specific lawmakers, while other companies, including Microsoft, Deloitte, and Goldman Sachs , said they would instead pause all political donations to both Republicans and Democrats.
