oh i'm so excited for the tech news i could buy a social media platform
they're for the taking yep he actually did it twitter has reportedly accepted
elon musk's offer to buy the company for 44 billion dollars or 54 dollars and
twenty cents per share or twenty fifty four twenty i guess so leading to
many promises from users to either delete their account or
make even more accounts uh depending on the bubble you're in the bio represents
a dramatic reversal from just days ago when the twitter board approved a poison
pill to prevent a hostile takeover the deal is pending approval by regulators
and twitter shareholders but assuming it goes through elon will be taking the
company private so you won't be able to buy twitter stock anymore which honestly
may just be for the best he's saving you money the only profits they ever seem to
generate usually come in the form of sassy comments which can be very cool
i like them i collect them in my little pouch
elon seems to have big plans for the social network as he says his vision for
twitter is one that emphasizes
and reading the platform of bots although he hasn't bothered to get into
specifics like isn't creating a bot to speak for me a form of free speech
they're not just bots to me they're my free speech bot baby remember how years
ago an apple engineer left a top secret iphone prototype at a bar this sounds
like it walked into a bar joke but it's not that actually happened it was a real
event well now it's google scrambling to get their own product back under wraps
as someone left a prototype pixel watch at a restaurant somewhere and someone
else put in the garbage looks stupid
the gadget was apparently left there for weeks leading to someone finding it and
sharing it with Android central very traumatic for the watch
as far as juicy details well it looks like a smart watch with a circular body
and a heart rate sensor on the back the watch reportedly wouldn't load up
anything other than a boot screen doesn't seem very useful so we don't
have a look yet at what kind of os it might be running but the leaker claimed
the watch did have a premium feel to it so expect to pay a handsome sum for the
privilege of acquiring a first generation pixel device that will
definitely disappoint you i mean i'm excited for it but it's pretty much a
given so premium it was left there for weeks
and apple has once again found a way to piss off app store developers as the
company recently sent out a warning entitled app store improvement notice
telling devs that if an app hasn't been updated within a significant amount of
time the devs had 30 days to submit an update or the app would be pulled from
the app store now many apps are obviously updated regularly but many
others simply don't need to be this is especially true for indie games many of
which have been sitting on the app store without being updated for a while which
of course to apple means that they're garbage that photo of your family has
been on the fireplace for years i'm just gonna throw it out you know smaller devs
have cried foul over apple's policy update especially as apple hasn't
released any clear guidance on what a significant amount of time means and why
would they you're just supposed to know have they
updated their terms and conditions and payment processing protocols
