MacBooks might have edge to edge trackpads in the future

Apple is planning to make their industry leading trackpads on MacBooks even better. According to Patently Apple, the company has filed a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a future MacBook prototype with an all-glass trackpad.
The patent covers a side-to-side trackpad with a force input/haptic output interface made from various materials such as glass, metal, or plastic. The design will feature a full-coverage trackpad area with no borders and will include a haptic actuator to reduce the thickness of the device. Additionally, the patent includes a protective cover made of transparent materials to rest over the device's active display area.

Soon you will be able to setup a new phone with just one tap

Google is reportedly working on a new feature for its Fast Pair service that would allow users to set up new Android phones with just a tap. The feature could debut on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series.
According to a report by 9to5Google, the feature detects nearby devices that haven't been set up and shows a prompt on the current phone to begin the initial setup process. However, it is not yet clear if both the old and new devices will need to support the updated Fast Pair feature or not. Also, it is worth noting that this is not officially confirmed by Google or Samsung yet.

Elon Musk's Twitter activity just cannot stop making news.

Elon Musk is now Mr. Tweet on Twitter

Elon Musk's Twitter activity just cannot stop making news.

Billionaire Elon Musk has changed his name to <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mr. Tweet</a> on Twitter. Interestingly, Musk did not self-invent his new name.
He was accidentally called Mr. Tweet by a lawyer during a court hearing, and it looks like he has liked this name a little too much.&nbsp;
The Twitter chief, whose name has become synonymous with the micro-blogging platform, also tweeted saying that he is now stuck with his new name and is unable to change it back.
Recently, Musk also launched Twitter Blue's annual plan for $84. Furthermore, the monthly price of the subscription on both Android and iOS is $11, as opposed to $8 when subscribed through a web browser.

IBM cuts 3,900 jobs as tech layoffs continue

Massive layoffs in the tech industry continue as IBM has now fired 3,900 of its employees.&nbsp;

IBM laid off 3,900 people on Wednesday because it was selling off some assets and didn't meet its annual cash goal.&nbsp;
The company's shares fell by 2 percent in after-hours trading because of the job cuts and the shortfall in free cash flow.
The layoffs are related to the company's decision to split off its Kyndryl business and a part of its Watson Health AI unit. They will cost the company $300 million from January to March.
The company predicted that its annual revenue growth would be in the mid-single digits, which is less than the 12 percent growth it reported last year.&nbsp;
Overall, IBM's sales stayed the same during the time period, at $16.69 billion. In 2022, however, they grew by 5.5 percent, which was the most growth they had seen in a decade.

Google announces major changes for Android device makers in India

Android device makers in India can now let customers choose their default search engine.

Google has allowed device makers in India to licence its individual apps for pre-installation and give an option for users to choose their default search engine.
This move followed the Indian Supreme Court upholding stringent antitrust directives from the Competition Commission of India (CCI). The CCI had ruled that Google abused its market position and ordered it to change how it markets its Android system, resulting in a fine of $161 million.
Google had challenged the CCI's ruling in court, warning that growth of its Android ecosystem could be stalled if the directives took effect. However, the Supreme Court did not agree to block the directives and the lower tribunal will hear the appeal, and must rule by March 31.

What exactly is the reason behind the devastating chain of layoffs in the tech industry? We try to decode it.

What is behind the mass layoffs in the tech industry?

What exactly is the reason behind the devastating chain of layoffs in the tech industry? We try to decode it.

The past year has been a challenging one for many industries, but it is the tech sector that has been the worst hit.
According to <a href="https://layoffs.fyi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">layoffs.fyi</a>, a total of over 1.5 lakh tech workers experienced job losses in 2022, and it seems the purge continues in 2023 as well.
Think of any major tech company, be it Meta, Google or Microsoft, all have announced significant layoffs in the recent months and weeks.
So, what&rsquo;s the deal? Why, suddenly, are all these behemoths just firing people left and right? Let&rsquo;s try to understand.
Recruiting boom during the Pandemic
During the pandemic, many tech companies saw a surge in online activity as people turned to the internet for work, entertainment, and communication. In response, these companies hired more staff to meet the increased demand.
However, as the world began to return to a more normal state and businesses started to re-open, many companies found that they have over hired with generous benefits, which is not sustainable in the long run.
The overstaffing was due to the expectation that the shift towards remote work would become permanent, however, a lot of companies found this to be unfeasible. As a result, these companies are now finding that they don't need as many employees as they had initially hired.
Additionally, as the economy has been affected by the pandemic, companies are now facing a softening of advertising revenue, as well as a potential recession, which has led many tech firms to cut back on spending, resulting in layoffs.
Potential recession
For months, numerous high-profile figures like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos have suggested that the United States may be on the verge of an economic recession.
In the time of an economic slowdown, companies can struggle to secure funding, or to generate revenue, and layoffs can be a sign of deeper issues.
Of course, when it comes to layoffs, the impact can vary greatly depending on the size of the company. For large companies, layoffs may be a strategic move to keep shareholders happy and maintain a healthy bottom line.&nbsp;
These companies often have the resources and financial stability to weather economic downturns, and layoffs may be seen as a necessary step to ensure long-term success.
On the other hand, smaller startups or growth companies may be facing more fundamental challenges. These companies may not have the same financial cushion as larger companies and layoffs can have a much greater impact on their operations and overall survival.
Contagious
Now this is an interesting one. Jeffrey Pfeffer, a Stanford Graduate School of Business professor, <a href="https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-layoffs-worried/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">explains</a> that industry layoffs are contagious and, very often, not exactly evidence-based. This means that companies often imitate what others are doing.&nbsp;
So, if a few major companies in a sector announce large-scale layoffs, the trend is likely to spread, like we&rsquo;re seeing in the tech industry right now.
Pfeffer supports his argument by giving an example from 2001, when after the 9/11 attacks in the USA, every airline except Southwest Airlines laid off employees.&nbsp;
Southwest Airlines, as a result, gained market share by not doing layoffs.
Even though there are various causes for the chain of mass layoffs in an industry - &nbsp;covid miscalculations, an imminent recession, and copycat behaviour appear to be the primary culprits in the current scenario.
As it turns out, economists predict that 2023 will be characterised by a modest recession and decelerating growth. This may result in companies decreasing their rate of employee additions.
So, if 2022 was bad, the new year doesn't look much better.

Android 14 will not allow sideloading apps on phone

Android 14 could block sideloading older versions of apps

Android 14 will not allow sideloading apps on phone

9to5 Google has released a fresh report. According to which, Android 14 will ban apps that target previous Android versions. Apps featured on the Play Store must target Android 12 according to the most recent guidelines. The requirements only apply to apps published on the Play Store, and developers can create apps for previous versions by asking users to manually install the .apk file.
However, the revealed code suggests that Android 14 will tighten API requirements. It would prevent users from side loading an outdated software using an APK file and would prevent app shops from allowing customers to download the same app.
This change in guidelines will give an extra layer of protection to Android 14 phones.

Elon Musk plans to sell Twitter shares worth $3 Billion

Report: Elon Musk plans to sell $3 Billion Twitter shares

Elon Musk plans to sell Twitter shares worth $3 Billion

According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, it has been suggested that Elon Musk and his team may be exploring the possibility of raising funds by selling new shares of Twitter. This move would reportedly be used to help pay down some of the $13 billion debt the company incurred as a result of its acquisition in October. Though this information was discussed in December, Mr. Musk has taken to Twitter to deny the accuracy of the report.
The debt was obtained from a group of banks, such as Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, to finance the acquisition. The proceeds from the potential equity raise would be utilized to pay down a portion of the debt with the highest interest rate.

Report: 2022 global smartphone shipments lowest since 2013

Due to economic uncertainty and inflation, the number of smartphones shipped in 2022 dropped significantly.

IDC <a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS50146623" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">reports</a> that global smartphone shipments declined significantly in 2022, with the fourth quarter seeing the largest-ever drop of 18.3 percent year-over-year.
This dampened demand, economic uncertainties and inflation all contributed to an 11.3 percent drop in total shipments for the entire year. The year 2022 ended with shipments of 1.21 billion units, the lowest since 2013.&nbsp;
Chinese vendors suffered major losses, while even Apple suffered setbacks due to unforeseen lockdowns at its Chinese factories.&nbsp;
Vendors are now becoming increasingly cautious and are realigning their focus on profitability.
Generous trade-in offers and promotions are expected to continue into 2023, which is set to be a year of caution as vendors rethink their portfolios and channels think twice before taking on excess inventory.
