Quick Hits

The refresh of Android Auto that Google announced at Google I/O is starting to arrive this week. It includes an updated layout, app launcher, notification tab, new typeface and dark mode by default. Instead of category icons along the bottom, the new Android Auto has an app launcher button, notification bell and Google Assistant shortcut.
Microsoft announced Skype for Business Online will be retired July 31, 2021. Starting September 1 this year, new Office 365 customers will be given Teams instead of Skype for Business Online. Microsoft Teams group chat service is considered a feature parity with Skype for Business Online but it is still pursuing feature requests for Teams from Skype for Business Online users.
AT&T announced that later this summer it will change the name of its DirecTV Now streaming TV service to AT&T TV Now. Current DirecTV Now subscribers will need to re-accept terms of service and re-login when this happens. The company will also launch a new TV streaming service called AT&T TV which will use a thin client set-top box. Both AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now will be accessible from the same mobile and connected TV apps.

Top Stories

Natalie Silvanovich and Samuel Grosch, researchers at Google's Project Zero discovered six vulnerabilities in iMessage for iOS. Five of them were patched in last week's iOS 12.4 update. Four of them including the one unpatched vulnerability requiring an attacker to send a message with malicious code that executes upon opening. The other two were memory exploits.
Huawei reported its official first-half earnings, and as expected revenue grew 23.2% and smartphone shipments rose 24% year over year. US trade restrictions on Huawei in May 15 and were eased on June 29, temporarily, until August 19. Q1 revenue had been up 39% so the month and a half of restrictions seems to have had an effect. Canalys estimates shipped 37.3 million smartphones in China in Q2, up 31% there, raising marketshare 10% while all other competitors Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and Apple saw declines. The trade restrictions may also have had an effect there in causing the domestic market to rally behind Huawei. Last month, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said the restriction would cost the company $30 billion in revenue. Huawei also said it had secured 50 commercial 5G contracts and shipped more than 150,000 base stations to markets around the world.
Imaging sensor company Sony reported record operating profit on strong demand for multiple-lens camera systems for smartphones. Profit from image sensors was 49.5 billion yen, up from 29.1 billion a year ago and offsetting a 9.6 billion drop in Sony's gaming business. Sony's smartphone revenue also dropped by 15 percent over last quarter. Sony warned that tariffs on Chinese products in the US could cause a game console price hike which might slow PS4 sales even more. The PS5 is not expected to arrive until late next year. Also, it's estimated that Huawei accounts for 15-20% of Sony's image sensor business, leaving questions about how that may be affected as well.
Nintendo announced it has sold 36.87 million Switch units worldwide. Nintendo sold 2.13 million Switch units this past quarter, up 13.2% increase over the last year. 3DS sales were down 45% on the year ahead of the Switch Lite. Nintendo's operating profit dropped 10.7% year-over-year although net sales were up 2.14% at 172.1 billion yen. Nintendo also said Super Mario Maker 2 sold 2.42 million units in three days during the quarter.
US Senator Josh Hawley introduced the Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology Act, AKA, the SMART act that would make it illegal for social networks to use infinite scroll or autoplay media. Achievements that don't substantially reward users (like Snapchat's "streaks") would also be against the law and networks would be required to provide a natural stopping point that encourages users to take a break. Exceptions would be made for music-focused services. The US FTC and state Attorneys could take action against companies and the FTC and Department of Health and Human Services could jointly write new rules for new features.

Discussion

Mailbag

I'm not a quantum physicist, but I am a security professional and have hung out with some very smart people at the university of Waterloo working on quantum cryptography and quantum key exchange. From my dumb questions to these smart people, the way I understand it is that because light travels so fast you have to transmit a stream of the same qbit for the receiver to capture the intended qbit. They probably store the stream captured to do the time decision multiplexing to find the next qbit.
