why are people surprised that Nintendo doesn't actually make pokemon go investors find out and they freak out and shares plummet you've probably read the stories about Nintendo's market cap doubling in the wake of the global phenomenon that is Pokemon go the Nintendo Corporation enjoyed such great success that it outstripped Sony's 40 billion dollar valuation and posted the highest single day trading record in Tokyo in a century but it all seemed to be based on a slight misconception about Pokemon go you see Nintendo doesn't actually make pokemon go when its investors finally realized this fact over the weekend they freaked out dumping Nintendo stock and shedding over six billion dollars in less than a day this is actually pretty comical because people generally should know that big brand companies often don't make the product that they're mostly known for Nike for example doesn't actually make nike shoes no they outsource that to other companies usually using child labor apple doesn't make the iPhone there the idea generator they do the design but they outsource that to Foxconn this is not uncommon it shouldn't be a scandal it shouldn't even really be a story but a six billion dollar loss becomes a story now let's talk about how Samsung responded to the failed Galaxy s7 active if you recall the Galaxy s7 active is offered to 18 to customers in the US as a water-resistant and dust resistant device that can survive immersion in five feet of water for 30 minutes until it didn't work as designed brief recap here Consumer Reports put the Galaxy s7 active in a water tank pressure 22 point 12 pounds per square inch which is the equivalent of just under five feet of water and set the timer for 30 minutes both of the units tested failed really badly resulting in a flickering screen and moisture inside its parts now Samsung has responded by saying the Galaxy s7 active passed rigorous tests to ensure the ip68 certification for water resistance so they're just denying it but they did say this Samsung stands behind this water resistant certification and will replace any galaxy s7 active under its standard limited warranty should water damage occur so it is unfortunate that Samsung chose a non-response response but they are standing behind their warranty I'd like to hear from anyone who has the s7 active have you had this problem please let me know in the comments below now let's talk about the recent leaks surrounding the galaxy note 7 in these leaks here you can look at the security settings and see where there's a new option below fingerprints called irises the disclaimer runs through the limitations of the iris unlock feature which is painfully long especially if you were hoping to use them while wearing glasses or contacts or in low-light conditions if so you're going to have a problem but as we saw in the leaked video a while back in the right conditions the note 7 iris scanner is very fast indeed to set it up all you need to do is position the phone 25 to 30 centimetres from your face with your eyes in the on-screen circles and let the front-facing scanner register your iris other screenshots show the s-pen air command menu including familiar options like screen right s note smart select an action memo but there's also a new option glance you can also record sections on the screen and create gifs on the fly you might recall a while back how Kurt makassar the CEO of cyanogen claimed that his company was going to and I quote put a bullet through Google's head now they have laid off 30 of their staff that's twenty percent of their total staff following an extended executive retreat the majority of those losing their jobs are on the OS side of things putting the future of signage ins vision of a Google less Android in question but there are rumors floating around that cyanogen is going to pivot to creating individual apps but makassar has taken to social media to refute these claims and I quote we are an OS company and our mission of creating an open android stance he confirmed the previous reported layoffs explaining that quote startups and disruption are brutal well Kurt it's also brutal to have to eat your own words you
