The 28-year-old founders of TollBit, a New York-based startup that is all of six months old, think we're living in the "Napster days" of AI. Just like people of a certain generation downloaded digital music, companies are ripping off vast swaths of the internet without paying the rights holders. They want TollBit to be the iTunes of the AI world. "It's kind of the Wild West right now," Olivia Joslin, the company's co-founder and chief operating officer, told Engadget in an interview. "We want to make it easier for AI companies to pay for the data they need."

Lenovo's Project Crystal is definitely sci-fi tech come to life. Currently, there are no plans to turn the concept laptop into a retail product. Instead, its ThinkPad division commissioned an exploration into the potential of transparent microLED panels and, sigh, AI integration. The most obvious use for the transparent laptop display would be sharing info at a doctor's office or hotel desk. Instead of needing to flip a screen around, you could simply reverse the device's output via software.

A final beta version of Apple's iOS 13 was found sporting some pretty major flaws just a week before the operating system is set to be released on devices everywhere. As reported by The Verge, researcher Jose Rodriguez discovered a flaw that enables one to access a phone's list of contacts by initiating a FaceTime call. Once a call is placed, Rodriguez shows how, using the voice-over accessibility feature through the iPhones virtual assistant, Siri, all of the contacts in the phone can be accessed, revealing email addresses, phone numbers, names, and any other information stored in the phone's contact list. The flaw, which Rodriguez reported to Apple in July after examining public betas of iOS 13, is similar to one found by the researcher in the operating system's predecessor, iOS 12.1. Though iOS 13 has yet to be released, betas of the new operating system have been available for months, meaning anyone who downloaded the preliminary versions has been unknowingly walking around with the glitch in their device.

Apple is offering iPhone users a way to bypass Facebook's and Google's sign-in services when using new apps. That era actually ended quite some time ago. Remember when iPhones were tied to the desktop for updates? So when Apple confirmed Monday that its next desktop operating system upgrade would split up iTunes into three separate apps, for music, TV shows and movies and podcasts, it seemed like an afterthought. "It's a rounding error," something that should have been done a long time ago, says Gene Munster, an analyst and investor with Loup Ventures, iTunes "had gotten way too big."

Apple is going big on privacy with a host of new iOS security features that let users choose when and where they share their personal data. Among the most pivotal features is what the company is calling'Sign-in with Apple,' an Apple-backed login feature that could help cut out competitors like Facebook and Google and make the ubiquitous social'sign-in' buttons a thing of the past. 'Sign-in with Apple' will allow users to opt out of sharing their name and email addresses with apps, and users will be able to authenticate using Face ID. Apple says it is cutting out companies like Facebook and Google by launching a'Sign-in with Apple' button that lets users encrypt their email and more. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, introduced the new features at WWDC 2019 Apple has introduced a new secure login system similar to those already in use by Google and Facebook.
