Facebook Hits One Billion Active Users
Facebook has officially reached one billion active users, Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced. In an official blog post , he writes: This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month. If you're reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you. Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life. I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too.

Why Alibaba has been fined record $2.75 billion by China
Chinese regulators have fined Alibaba Group Holding Ltd 18 billion yuan ($2.75 billion) for violating anti-monopoly rules and abusing its dominant market position, marking the highest ever antitrust fine to be imposed in the country. The penalty, equivalent to around 4% of Alibaba's revenues in 2019, comes amid an unprecedented regulatory crackdown on the home-grown technology conglomerates in the last few months that have weighed on company shares. Alibaba's billionaire founder Jack Ma's business empire has been particularly put under intense scrutiny after his stinging criticism of China's regulatory system in late October. In late December, China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) announced it launched an antitrust probe into the company. That came after authorities halted a planned $37 billion IPO from Ant Group , Alibaba's internet finance arm. SAMR said on Saturday that after an investigation launched in December, it had determined that Alibaba … [Read more...] about Why Alibaba has been fined record $2.75 billion by China
OnePlus 9 series ditches this feature, adopts a popular Google feature
The new OnePlus 9 phones have come into the market packed with features like the SD 888 chipset, 120Hz Fluid AMOLED display and the Hasselblad camera. But one feature of the smartphones’ seems to have been replaced with another without including it in any announcements. The feature in question is File Dash. The recently launched flagship series has adopted Google’s Nearby Share in place of File Dash. The default OnePlus File Manager does not show the File Dash option, several buyers of the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro complained on Reddit. The company also confirmed the same in a statement to XDA, which means that File Dash has been ditched in favour of the Nearby Share. For File Dash to work and transfer files wirelessly, the sender and the receiver both had to be OnePlus phones . The company may have thought implementing a more universal solution would be better for a OnePlus phone. The Nearby Share feature can be found by going to Settings, then “Device Connections”, and … [Read more...] about OnePlus 9 series ditches this feature, adopts a popular Google feature
