It may have been painted as ZTE’s lifesaver but the $1 billion deal it signed with the US government may prove to be even more trouble. The agreement would naturally incur a lot of changes on ZTE’s part, but that is if it will actually push through. The US Senate has just voted 85 to 10 to pass an annual … Continue reading

For a moment it almost felt like Disney’s bid for Fox was almost a done-deal, but recently we have been hearing that Comcast wants in on the action and has actually made a bid of $65 billion for the company. This is versus the $52 billion that Disney had initially offered, meaning that Comcast is willing to pay $13 billion more.
However given the potential of the various franchises under Fox’s banner, plus the return of some of the Marvel characters to Disney, we suppose it’s not surprising that Disney isn’t taking this lying down. In a report from CNBC, Disney is said to be ready to make an increased bid for Fox.
Fox is expected to hold a shareholders meeting this Wednesday to discuss the deal, and if they feel that Comcast’s deal is superior (presumably in other ways not just monetary), Disney will have five days to match (or outbid) Comcast’s $65 billion offer. It is unclear as to who will emerge victorious, so we’ll have to wait and see.
This is actually not the first time that Comcast has expressed interest in Fox. The company had actually made a bid last year but it was rejected due to antitrust concerns. However with the AT&T and Time Warner deal having been approved, it is possible that this deal could go through as well.

The file explorers on our computers let us preview files before we open them. For example users can open a ZIP file to look inside its contents without having to extract all of it. This is something that we’re sure Dropbox users will appreciate the good news is that Dropbox has since expanded the files preview feature to include more file types.
According to Dropbox, “At Dropbox, we want to upgrade the preview experience from passive viewing to active reviewing. So we designed new previews capabilities to be an integral part of your team’s collaboration workflow. Dropbox previews generate more than 300 million views every month. That adds up to a lot of time saved by eliminating the need for downloading. Now you can quickly preview the file and stay in your workflow.”
The new file types that will be supported include AutoCAD previews and DWG files, EPUB files, MXF video previews, and also ZIP and RAR files. This will work similarly to the desktop where users can look inside the file to decide what they want to download. Dropbox has also announced enhancements to its PDF and PowerPoint previews where it lets users jump to specific points in the file during the preview.
That being said, it should be noted that these file previews won’t be available to all users. For example AutoCAD and MXF previews are available for Dropbox Professional, Advanced, Enterprise, and Education users.

The bulk of Apple’s iPhones are made in China and that’s pretty much a well-established fact. However with the trade war brewing between the US and China, we’re sure that Apple has to wonder what could be the result of these tensions? Could it be that they might end up facing tariffs, which in turn could result in more expensive iPhones?
The good news is that in a report from The New York Times, it appears that President Donald Trump has promised Apple’s CEO Tim Cook that he will not be placing tariffs on iPhones assembled in China. Of course that’s just what the US is planning to do for the company, but at the same time it is unclear how China will react.
There are concerns that the tensions could result in China making it difficult for companies such as Apple to operate in the country, whether it be manufacturing devices, selling them, or clearing their exports in a timely manner. Of course all of this remains to be seen, but Chinese companies such as Foxconn have been working to bring some of their operations over to the US. Whether or not Apple will be taking advantage of these facilities in the future is unclear.
