- Another application in the Mac App store has been caught stealing and uploading your browser history. (9to5Mac)
The culprit this time is Dr. Unarchiver, allegedly by Trend Micro. I'm not sure if it's a Trend Micro app, a third-party app sold by Trend Micro on the app store, or if it was sold by a fake account on the App Store. In any case, it's gone now.
Other Mac App Store miscreants include Adware Doctor, Adware Medic, Open Any Files, Dr. Antivirus, and Dr. Cleaner. (The Eclectic Light Company)

- Huawei have been caught cheating repeatedly on benchmarks. (PCPer)
The benchmark scores are real, but not reflective. The phone is diddled to detect that a benchmark is being run and go into a high-power high-performance mode to inflate scores.
- PyPy, the Python compiler written in Python, just turned 15.
Yikes.
Social Media News
- Buzzfeed is run by idiots. The headline might as well read "How the Arm Cortex A53 Destroyed a Village".
