Amazon is giving veterans a discount for its Prime subscription service. The price is normally US$119 but veterans can get it for US$79.
A couple of restrictions to note before jumping on the deal: you can’t take advantage of the discount if you’re already a Prime Student subscriber. Additionally, it’s not possible to use Amazon and partner rewards points to make the subscription even cheaper.
Media Arts Lab, Apple’s ad agency, has cut 50 employees, mostly in its strategy department, according to a report.
WhatsApp has given the ability to control who adds you to a Group to all users, Engadget reported. Previously it had only been available to users in India.
Anyone who relies on WhatsApp to communicate with friends, family, and everyone in between knows how easily people can add them to group chats without consent. This is why the Facebook-owned messaging giant in April introduced a feature that allowed some users to stipulate who can add them to a group. Before today, the privacy setting had only been available in India, where the company has been fine-tuning the feature ahead of today’s global rollout. It’s worth noting that with more than 400 million users, India is a big market for WhatsApp, but it is also one that has struggled with the spread of incendiary messages and fake news. WhatsApp has previously tried to address these issues with stricter message-forwarding restrictions.

Police in Tennessee released a surveillance tape that showed a major robbery in an Apple Store in Fraklin. In total, 17 Apple Watches worth $9k were stolen MacRumors reported.
Released surveillance footage shows the trio walking into the Apple Store in Franklin and then grabbing the Apple Watches from the display table. They were able to escape unimpeded. Police have asked anyone who recognizes the suspects seen on the surveillance video above to call Crime Stoppers. The phone number is (615) 794-4000. Apple Stores are regularly targeted by thieves. Seemingly every month, there is an incident in which criminals steal devices from stores. Often these are just snatch-and-grab robberies in which thieves grab as many display devices as they can and then bolt. Occasionally, as in this June at Valencia in California, thieves rob stores at gunpoint.
Apple has rebuilt its privacy site to show off “everyday apps designed for your privacy.” They’re Apple’s own apps showing privacy features.

In another case of Facebook letting app developers access whatever data they want, 100 of them improperly accessed data from Groups despite Facebook claiming it restricted that access.
Today we are also reaching out to roughly 100 partners who may have accessed this information since we announced restrictions to the Groups API, although it’s likely that the number that actually did is smaller and decreased over time.
100 app developers you say? Why would 100,000 app developers do such a thing?
