Earlier this year it was discovered that Verizon was throttling Netflix streams, although the company claimed that this was a test. Unfortunately it later proved to be true as Verizon later launched new unlimited data plans that throttled video streams, where users on the basic unlimited plans would have their videos capped at 480p quality on their phones.

However the good news is that  Verizon has decided to cancel their throttling plans. In a report from CNET, the carrier has announced that they will be bringing back full-quality video streaming for their plans. This is expected to come into effect on the 3rd of November, however it seems that there might be an additional charge of $10 if customers want to be able to stream in 4K.

It is unclear if this extra $10 is only to enable unlimited 4K streaming, or if you will have to pay $10 to unlock full-quality video streaming, although CNET’s report states that video will be delivered in its original resolution, so the quality will be dependent on whether or not your phone can support it, although we reckon in this day and age, most phones should have no problem streaming in at least 720p HD or better.

Even massive tech corporations such as Apple cannot do everything themselves, which is why more often than not, these companies need to license technology from other companies, or acquire existing companies to bring their technology into the fold. According to the latest reports, Apple could have recently acquired a company that specializes in camera sensors.

In a report from Image Sensors World (via MacRumors), Apple is said to have acquired or at least hired some talent from a company called InVisage. According to the report, the deal is said to have been closed in July earlier this year. Image Sensors World points out several pieces of potential evidence that this acquisition could have been true, such as how the company has removed a news page and a list of employee profiles, and also several LinkedIn accounts of past InVisage employees who now list Apple as their place of employment.

One of InVisage’s key pieces of technology is QuantumFilm, in which its pixels are said to have over three times higher dynamic range, which will allow users to capture “supremely detailed images in almost any lighting condition where there is bright sky.” Assuming Apple did acquire the company, it would be hard to tell if the technology has been or will be implemented in future iPhones.

After all companies like Apple are constantly working on improving their products and features, so it’s hard to say if future iPhone/iPad camera improvements could be a direct result of this acquisition. In the meantime Apple has recently confirmed that they have acquired a wireless charging company based out of New Zealand.

Dating apps rely a lot on personal information about the user, after all that’s the point, right? This includes information like education, workplace, age, name, and even your location, since some dating apps like to try and connect users who are within a certain radius to each other, but unfortunately it seems that quite a few of the popular dating apps aren’t as secure as you think.

In a post on Kaspersky’s Securelist website, security researchers Roman Unuchek, Mikhail Kuzin, and Sergey Zelensky discovered that many dating apps aren’t particularly secure, and some of the apps listed are the pretty big ones, such as Tinder, Bumble, and OK Cupid, just to name a few.

According to the researchers, the security vulnerabilities range from being pretty mild, where they were able to find and identify users on various social media just by using their job and education that they’ve listed. There are more worrying security vulnerabilities where hackers could intercept traffic and find out the email address the user has used, not thanks to the discovery that quite a few of these dating apps have minimal HTTPS encryption, thus making it easier for hackers to intercept any data.

The researchers claim that they have since forwarded the information they discovered to the respective developers, and hopefully this is something that they will be addressing in future app updates, if they haven’t done so already.
