Today's Story Highlights

Red Flag Flying Over Flagship Phones
These could be the worst of times for high-end flagship smartphones.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai told Alphabet shareholders that his company's
flagship phones, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, released last fall, had
encountered some "year over year headwinds." Samsung acknowledged that
Galaxy S10 sales were being cannibalized by its lower-priced models.
Meanwhile, Apple saw iPhone sales plummet.

Mobile Chrome Hoax Could Target Android Users
A new method for hiding the true location of a website from users of the
mobile Chrome Web browser has come to light. Phishers can trick users
into revealing their credentials for a legitimate website to operators
of a malicious one, security researcher James Fisher reported. Scammers
can exploit mobile Chrome's feature that hides the address bar when
users are scrolling on a Web page.

Is Nvidia Tesla's Kryptonite?
Tesla sure didn't have a good week last week, given the kind of press
coverage it got. I'm not that worried about Tesla going away, though, as
its products are far too popular for it to disappear. On the other hand,
management clearly needs to be fixed. What got me started looking at
Tesla last week was that it pretty much announced that Nvidia was its
Kryptonite.

Consumers Balk at Premium Smartphone Prices
Only a fraction of consumers are willing to pay $1,500 or more for a
flagship Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy smartphone, suggests an informal
ECT News Network survey conducted from April 15 to 22. Fewer than 2
percent of those who took part said they'd be willing to paying such a
premium for a handset. New smartphones arrive with almost disturbing
regularity.

Feren OS: An Almost Flawless Linux Computing Platform
Feren OS might well be the Linux computing game-changer that lures you
away from your current operating system. Feren OS is based on Linux Mint
19 and the Cinnamon desktop -- it currently does not give you any other
desktop options. However, it comes with a wide assortment of
configuration choices that let you tweak the look and feel into almost
any customized appearance you could want.
