I can't envision the day where there could be two "app stores" on an iPhone. This trial will be interesting to watch to see if it eventually swings more towards that direction in the future though #ISYS8621 #D

[The Associated Press @AP]

Apple faces one of its most serious legal threats in recent years in a federal trial that begins today. Epic Games, maker of the video game Fortnite, says Apple's app store is an illegal monopoly that squeezes mobile apps for a slice of their earnings. https://t.co/33fbZrudcl

@andraeallen I just did the "buy now, pay later" option for the Epic skiing pass for next year. The perfect application because I don't want to pay now for something I use... next year. I can see why people want to do it and why companies are looking to enter the space #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

Last year Kodak popped back into the news as a transformed tech company. I'm waiting for the day when we hear the same for AOL #ISYS8621 #D

[Morning Brew ☕️ @MorningBrew]

Verizon has officially sold AOL and Yahoo to Apollo Global Management in a deal worth around $5 billion

That's around half of the $9 billion Verizon originally paid for the two media properties

Worst acquisition of all time?

The NHL has lacked the broadcasting entertainment factor that the other major sports leagues have focused on. I'm hopeful that the value that TBS and TNT have brought to MLB and the NBA will be seen in the NHL #ISYS8621

[NHL.com @NHLdotcom]

The NHL and Turner Sports announced a seven-year media rights agreement that will have regular-season, Stanley Cup Playoff and Stanley Cup Final games televised on TNT and TBS starting next season. https://t.co/Gv5SvYVC0y

@olivia_levy8 @richkelly221 I'm actually working on a project for another class on Holmes and Theranos. I got the same feeling that this WeWork documentary would remind me of what happened with Theranos #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@ConorEireMBA Power being placed in the hands of consumers, seems like something that should have happened a long time ago #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

When your first thoughts during a heart attack are about how it will inconvenience your boss, its probably a good sign to reevaluate priorities. Near death moments should not be necessary to have that insight though #ISYS8621 #D

[The New York Times @nytimes]

"Life is too short."

Jonathan Frostick, a program manager at an investment bank, had a heart attack and vowed to step back from work. His viral LinkedIn post has resonated widely at a time when people are experiencing more stress. https://t.co/2amwVxJKFG

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@ConorEireMBA The pandemic moved transformation timelines up for companies, but it probably did the same for many people in the workforce as well. With new perspectives and time to think about long term goals, its understandable that a service job may not be as enticing anymore #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@Lisa_Hersh_ The lack of advancement and reliability in consumer printers feels deliberate #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@ConorEireMBA @guardian_sport @jjpjolly Most of the time, you get what you deserve

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@olivia_levy8 The functionality seems very similar to AirPods and the price point is much lower. I could see some people being drawn to them, but its hard to unseat AirPods with the market share they already have #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

Interesting to see that an American investment bank is getting so heavily involved in financing a soccer league that does not include any American teams. Very different type of deal than JP Morgan would normally take part in #ISYS8621 #D

[Simon Evans @sgevans]

JP Morgan have confirmed to Reuters that they are financing the breakaway Super League.

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

Airbnb signaling that they do not have enough supply to meet demand. I wonder how this will translate to prices for consumers. The cheap rates that were offered during the pandemic could rebound sharply the other way #ISYS8621

[CNBC Tech @CNBCtech]

Airbnb CEO says company is going to need millions more hosts to meet surging demand https://t.co/3MAr4It0zV

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@ConorEireMBA I get FOMO every time I check on it but I also know that being on the outside when the inevitable crash happens will help mitigate that #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@AnnaLiu10100147 @sayoyamUSA This seems like it would be perfect in the downtown areas near bars and clubs. I know I would try it after a night out #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@TheRealErinDee Agreed, I think they tried to make it approachable/ less scary by having it look like a dog. But it actually has the opposite effect

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

Another example of robots becoming more mainstream #ISYS8621

[gynger spice @1800SPOILED]

Nah they really got these robot police dogs in NYC. This is wild

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

I have a couple of theories on this. I could see a shift in drivers towards meal delivery apps because of less contact with strangers during a pandemic. Alternatively, with the increase in unemployment benefits, there may not be as much incentive to drive right now #ISYS8621 #D

[Only In Boston @OnlyInBOS]

It's hard to get a Lyft or Uber in Boston these days.

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

@TheRealErinDee Seeing that the NCAA doesn't let players profit from their performance, this is an interesting way of circumventing that rule and building potential value for the future #ISYS8621

[Michael Prendeville @prendevilleBC]

This is a little different than the drones I presented on earlier in the semester because it is geared towards bulkier deliveries. But it is another example of how companies will be expanding their options on how they deliver packages #ISYS8621

[CNBC @CNBC]

UPS agrees to buy electric vertical aircraft to speed up package delivery in small markets https://t.co/hw0T5e4a9t
