Well known developers are trying out risky and bold methods to fund future development, but are they really all that practical? We debate.

A massively popular app is using a dirty trick to stay in the background and consume battery. We ponder why it hasn’t been shut down already & more!

Online advertisers admit they “messed up,” promise lighter ads | Ars Technica

“We messed up,” begins the post by Scott Cunningham of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), which represents 650 advertising and tech companies that produce 86 percent of all Internet ads in the US.

The Background Data and Battery Usage of Facebook’s iOS App – MacStories

With iOS 9’s improved energy consumption stats, it’s easier to guess one of the various tricks Facebook may be employing to stay active in the background and drain battery. On my girlfriend’s iPhone, for instance, iOS 9 reports 5 hours of on-screen usage for the last 7 days, and another 11 hours of background audio usage with Background App Refresh turned off.

My guess is that Facebook is hijacking audio sessions on iOS by keeping silent audio in the background whenever a video plays in the app. And because, by default, videos on Facebook auto-play on both Wi-Fi and Cellular and few people ever bother to turn it off, that means there’s a high chance the Facebook app will always find a way to play a video, keep audio in the background, and consume energy to perform background tasks.

A Windows 10 upgrade is automatically installing on some Windows 7, 8 systems & ads in the Start Menu started showing up this week. We discuss.

Plus the most disruptive technology in the last 100 years is probably not what you’re thinking, Intel, Microsoft, HP, Dell & Lenovo form supergroup to save the PC & it’s terrible.

Then it’s our Kickstarter of the week, a new breed of computing!
