Today's Story Highlights

Location Data Selling Threatens Consumer Privacy
Selling location data collected by mobile phones has become a lucrative
business, according to a report that noted location advertising sales
are expected to reach $21 billion this year. At least 75 companies
receive anonymous, precise location data from applications with the
location services feature activated. Several of those outfits claim to
track 200 million mobile devices in the U.S.

Who's Winning the Latest Tech Industry Battles?
December has become consistent with the Chinese curse, "May You Be Born
In Interesting Times." We are up to our armpits in wars. Qualcomm and
Intel are fighting for 5G control, and Intel is tearing itself apart.
Microsoft passed Apple in valuation, largely because it has not been
focusing on Apple. The Huawei founder's daughter has just been arrested,
at the request of the U.S.

End of the Line for Microsoft Edge?
Rumors circulated this week that Microsoft will be replacing the core
technology in its Edge browser for Windows 10 with Chromium, the open
source software from Google that is the core of the Chrome browser.
Google's Blink -- the browser engine that is responsible for
interpreting website coding and displaying it on a user's device -- will
be basis of the new browser, codenamed "Anaheim."

Google Hasn't Kept Promise to Stop Bubble-Wrapping Users: Report
Google hasn't released consumers from its filter bubble -- the package
of personalized search results it delivers -- despite having promised to
do so, according to study results from DuckDuckGo. Most participants saw
results unique to them, the researchers found, which could not be
explained by changes in location, time, by being logged into Google, or
by Google testing algorithm changes.
