hi I'm Joshua Smith and welcome to
0:02
another episode of cax news Roundup this
0:05
past week some pretty interesting things
0:07
went down but don't worry we've got you
0:09
covered on everything you might have
0:10
missed like Facebook's own version of
0:12
Snapchat Microsoft's iPad killer and
0:14
iCloud hacked well without further Ado
0:17
let's go ahead and get straight to it
0:33
so Facebook may not have been able to
0:35
purchase Snapchat for $3 billion but
0:37
that is definitely not kept the massive
0:39
social network from trying to find a way
0:41
into that area referred to internally as
0:43
slingshot Facebook is reportedly working
0:46
on a new video messaging app to go
0:48
head-to-head versus Snapchat so losers
0:50
or not I'm actually kind of interested
0:52
in how the app will turn out but what do
0:53
you think are you welcome to seeing a
0:55
new kind of Snapchat or think they
0:57
should just move on let us know in the
0:59
comment section below below and if
1:00
you're a fan of extra bonuses and apps
1:02
like Real Racing 3 and others but don't
1:05
like spending tons of money on inapp
1:06
purchases then you might like this apple
1:09
recently gave developers the ability to
1:11
create promo codes for inapp purchases
1:13
so instead of an app getting new levels
1:15
and having to pay for extra to get them
1:17
the developers can just add the promo
1:19
codes into the App Store and More our
1:21
very own Killian Bell has more on the
1:25
and you just might have heard about this
1:28
earlier this week Microsoft is still at
1:30
it with their hopes of trying to create
1:31
the perfect iPad killer and their newest
1:34
attempt is the Microsoft surfice Pro 3 a
1:37
12-in tablet while this tablet is still
1:39
thicker than the iPad Air and the
1:41
thinnest tablet Microsoft has ever
1:42
created it hopes to take on the rumor
1:45
13-in iPad definitely interesting is
1:47
that tablet too big or just big enough
1:49
to replace your everyday laptop as far
1:51
as I'm concerned Microsoft can just go
1:53
ahead and keep on trying cuz if Apple
1:55
comes out with a 13-in iPad I'm getting
1:58
one an anonymous hacker claim it's too
2:00
late for apple as they've exploited an
2:02
iCloud security flaw that gives hackers
2:04
the ability to unlock a lost or stolen
2:06
iPhone as soon as the news got out Apple
2:09
requested for the hackers to contact
2:10
them immediately but the hackers are not
2:12
quite for that the first hack of its
2:14
kind this definitely could be quite
2:16
damaging for apple and you can check out
2:18
the full story with even more details on
2:20
the hacking from Alex Heath on
2:23
cam.com and while iMessage is definitely
2:26
one of the best parts about having an
2:28
iPhone it's a pain when it does doesn't
2:30
work that well or in this case keeps you
2:32
from doing what you want many users have
2:34
reportedly claimed that when switching
2:35
from iOS to Android the Apple messaging
2:38
server has halted them from receiving
2:40
their text messages unless they
2:41
deactivate their accounts before the big
2:43
switch luckily Apple has recently stated
2:46
that they will be pushing out a bug fix
2:47
to cover the issue amongst others but
2:50
have you ever had to deal with a bug
2:51
before let us know in the comment
2:53
section below and lastly the trend for
2:55
big company monopolies has just seemed
2:57
to continue with each week as just this
2:59
this past week the Telecom service AT&T
3:02
purchased the satellite television
3:04
Company Direct TV for a reported $48.5
3:07
billion in cash and shares by becoming a
3:10
bigger company AT&T hopes to have a
3:12
higher chance in taking out other mobile
3:14
operators like Sprint and T Mobile
3:16
definitely an interesting deal what do
3:18
