- More on the great Dyn DNS outage of 2016. Dyn has released a statement, but as yet it is unknown exactly who was behind the attacks. But the consensus on the internet is that it's dumb smart home devices to blame, using the Mirai botnet.
- And yesterday it was a rumour, today it is fact that AT&T will be buying Time Warner for $80 billion dollars. Properties owned by Time Warner include CNN, HBO and CBS. We'll leave this one for the Americans to chat about on Monday's show.
- And yesterday it soundly like peace between the city of New York, and Airbnb. Today, Airbnb filed a federal lawsuit contending the new laws signed in by Governor Cuomo would cause it “irreparable harm" to the company.
- Tim Cook's trips to China have not been in vain. Yesterday revenue from the Chinese App Store overtook revenue from the US App Store for the first time. The country earned over $1.7 billion in Q3 2016, which puts it ahead of the U.S. by over 15 percent. The U.S. had been the number one iOS market since 2010, the report notes.
- This week Google quietly dropped a ban on linking the web browsing information it collects via its Double Click ads across the web, with information on your Google account. What that means is now Google will smooch together everything it knows about you from your Gmail, search history, Maps history, Youtube viewing habits, and any other Google service you might use, with the Double Click tracking codes that live on just about every website on the planet.
- The world has a new dinosaur: a barrel-bellied giant herbivore that stood as tall as a giraffe and grazed the grasslands of what is now central-west Queensland. While its height of up to six metres places it alongside the dainty giraffe, that's where the similarities end.
