2.A study was released late last week that showed that 13% of all users downloaded 50% of all apps. That makes a lot of sense because us early adopters can and will frolic from one app to the next to see if it’s any good. Another interesting stat is that 49% of people surveyed for this study didn’t download a single app during the survey period. On average, people interested in apps download about 3.5 per month.
3. Google is formally rolling out AMP, or accelerated mobile pages, to everyone all around the world starting this week. For those who don’t know, AMP is a project to help pages load much more quickly and take up far less data than their non-AMP counterparts. Google boasts that they’ve done up 600 million AMP sites in 232 regions. The only other thing of note is that this won’t change the search results at all so you’ll still see the same searches.
4. Yahoo sent out an email this week to tell everyone about a data leak all the way from 2014. On top of being massively late, Yahoo also revealed that they believe the culprit behind the hacks was a “state sponsored actor” and that it was more than just account passwords that got taken. They didn’t mention which state or country the attack originated in, but there are really only a handful that target US based companies like Yahoo anyway. Of course, that also doesn’t explain why it took them two years to tell us anyway.
5. The latest Humble Bundle is now live! This time around the bundle is based around Artifex Mundi games for both PC and mobile. You can pay whatever you want and get three games, beat the average and get six total games, or pay more than $5 and get every game in the bundle. There are some good titles here and it’s also a great way to donate to charity and play some games at the same time.
