When it comes to Android devices, the jury
agreed that Google illegally held a
"monopoly on app distribution and in-app
billing services," Engadget reports.
.
Google's distribution deals with gaming
companies and its agreements with manufacturers
to have its apps pre-installed on Android devices
were also found to be anticompetitive.
.
Judge James Donato has yet to decide how to
remedy the situation now that Google has
been found in violation of antitrust laws.
.
He could enforce a ruling that would require Google
to allow developers the option to use "their own app
stores and billing systems," Engadget reports.
.
Wilson White, Google VP for Government
Affairs and Public Policy, said that
Google plans to appeal the verdict.
Android and Google Play provide
more choice and openness than
any other major mobile platform, Wilson White, Google VP for Government

Cereal requires minimal preparation,

and can be a good way to get
some fiber in the morning, Leslie Bonci, a sports dietitian for the Kansas City Chiefs

Cereal can also be a great way to
get micronutrients and one of the
best ways to ensure B vitamin
intake is included in your diet. , Leslie Bonci, a sports dietitian for the Kansas City Chiefs
and founder of Active Eating Advice, via 'USA Today'.
However, "cereals that are made of refined grains – grains that have had parts of the grain kernel removed – are lower in fiber and nutrients," according to registered dietitian Kate Zeratsky.
Added sugars are also a concern. For adults, the FDA advises consuming no more than 50 grams of added sugars per day as part of a 2,000-calorie diet.
The agency recommends that
children don't exceed 25 grams.
But some cereals contain large amounts of added sugars, such as Post's Golden Crisp, which has
21 grams of added sugars in just one cup.
Zeratsky suggests sticking with cereal brands that have added sugars "in the single digits" that also contain whole grains.

Last week, workers held sit-in
protests at Google's offices in both
New York and Sunnyvale, California.
The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers
were fired following the initial sit-in. .
According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for
No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired
"over 20" more workers, “including non-participating
bystanders during last week’s protests.”.
Google’s aims are clear:
the corporation is attempting
to quash dissent, silence
its workers, and reassert
its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.
In its attempts to do so,
Google has decided to
unceremoniously, and
without due process,
upend the livelihoods of
over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

was terminated was personally and definitively
involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”

All iOS Users Can Now , Log In to X With a Passkey.
While U.S. iOS users were given the option
to use passkeys back in January, .
global iOS users are now able to do the
same on the social media platform.

iOS app, click "Your account," and then
go to "Settings and privacy.".
Next, navigate to "Security and account access"
and then "Additional password protection.".

iPhone iOS 17.5 Update , Causes Users’ Deleted Photos to Reappear.
Apple's latest iOS update is making years-long deleted photos resurface on customers' phones, and it's freaking them out.
In particular, many users were shocked to see sensitive photographs, such as nudes, reappear
on their phones, 'New York Post' reports. .
I went to send a picture and saw that
the latest pictures were [not safe for
work] material we’d made years ago
when we were living apart, Apple product user, via Reddit.
But WTF. It was permanently deleted.
Years ago but magically it’s back??
I checked my iPad and it also has pictures (some art work I did
years ago). I feel so uncomfortable, Apple product user, via Reddit.
Other users referred to the issue as
"the worst software experience ever.".
These just came out of nowhere
this has to be the worst software
experience ever. I thought Apple
had a solid OS, ever since
iOS 16 it's been shambles. , Apple product user, via X.
Another person said that
25 previously-deleted voicemails also
reappeared on their phone, 'New York Post' reports. .
The reports could be down to an
indexing bug, photo library corruption,
or a syncing issue between local
devices and iCloud Photos, Via MacRumors.
Another possibility is that in
attempting to fix a photo syncing
bug that occurred in iOS 17.3,
Apple has inadvertently caused
a new syncing issue to occur that
may involve iCloud backups, Via MacRumors

DOJ Sues Apple , for Monopolizing Smartphone Market.
The Justice Department and 16 state attorneys general filed suit against Apple on March 21 in New Jersey, 'The Hill' reports. .
The complaint alleges that
the tech company constructed a
"dominant iPhone platform and ecosystem," .
and "rather than respond to competitive
threats by offering lower smartphone prices to
consumers or better monetization for developers,".
Apple enforced a "series of shapeshifting rules and restrictions" in the App Store.
It has deployed this playbook across
many technologies, products, and
services, including super apps, text
messaging, smartwatches, and digital
wallets, among many others, Via complaint.
Today’s lawsuit seeks to hold Apple
accountable and ensure it cannot
deploy the same, unlawful
playbook in other vital markets, Via complaint.
In its defense, Apple claimed that
the lawsuit "threatens who we are and
the principles that set Apple products
apart in fiercely competitive markets.".
If successful, [this lawsuit] would
hinder our ability to create the
kind of technology people expect
from Apple—where hardware,
software, and services intersect, Apple, via statement.
It would also set a dangerous
precedent, empowering
government to take a heavy hand
in designing people’s technology. , Apple, via statement.
We believe this lawsuit is wrong
on the facts and the law, and we
will vigorously defend against it, Apple, via statement
