It’s been pretty easy to point at Twitter and, with each quarterly moment when it discloses its financial guts, let out a long exasperated sigh.

Each massive exit in the tech ecosystem usually follows the same cycle: an upstart becomes a huge business, it goes public or sells for a huge sum of money, many of the best people that built it take off and then they use their newfound wealth to start companies.

Just ahead of the new year, the company made a radical change to its policies, and now requires people to use real names instead of an OKCupid username, as before. The change eliminates one of the biggest differentiators between the dating app and rivals like Tinder and Bumble, which have users log in via Facebook in order to use their… Read More from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8176981 https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/29/okcupids-rating-sinks-as-users-rebel-over-new-real-name-policy/?ncid=rss http://www.gadgetscompared.com http://ikonografico.tumblr.com/post/169089629431 via http://www.gadgetscompared.com iFixit has never been particularly fond of Apple’s repair policies. The company’s gadgets regularly rack up poor repairability scores on the site. The site’s taking another jab at the tech giant today, dropping the price of its battery replacement kits to $29 — matching the cost of out-of-warranty battery replacements being offered up as consolation for its iPhone… Read More from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8176981 https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/29/ifixit-drops-its-iphone-battery-replacement-to-29-matching-apples-apology-price/?ncid=rss http://www.gadgetscompared.com http://ikonografico.tumblr.com/post/169089629656 via http://www.gadgetscompared.com Consumers spent $196 million on apps, in-app purchases and subscriptions on Christmas Day 2017 across the App Store and Google Play, according to new data from Sensor Tower. The report, while excluding Android revenue in China, represents a 12.3 percent increase over last year’s spending of approximately $174 million.

The feature, described here in the company’s Help documentation, will suggest posts for you based on those that have been liked by other accounts you follow.
