I find it interesting that the Google SDK isn't in it. Also why would they have both Crashlytics and Apteligent/Crittercism? Don't they do the same thing?
They would have to buy thru Google since it's a Google spin out. However, Google SDK isn't present in the app now. Unity SDK is in for the game engine and it's the same SDK that can serve ads. https://medium.com/@kevinleong789/what-sdks-does-pokemon-go-...
One more interesting take-away - Uber has both Adjust and TUNE(Mobile App Tracking)'s SDK. Lyft has both Kochava and TUNE(Mobile App Tracking)'s SDK. All these SDK's do Attribution analytics (where are my app installs coming from). I wonder if app installs are so importnat to Uber and Lyft that they need 2 SDKs each doing the same thing to keep each other's data honest?
This is some cool data. Am surprised how often AFNetworking and Crashlytics are used. Unsurprisingly, for advertising, FB and Google Ad SDKs totally dominates. I signed up. When will you be launching the site with full data?
Super difficult. We recovered 40% from banks who were willing to look at our evidence. Turns out there was no international banking law that deals with stuff like this. Banks basically make their own decision whether who's right/wrong. The banks in Dubai and Far East basically told us to pound sand. We ended up threatening to sue our regional bank. They covered 20%. So we ended up losing 40%. The funny thing was FBI was involved. You'd think these guys are hot to trot. The guy we spoke to basically sounded like a local policeman whom you just told you lost your bike. "Oh yeah, we are tracking down leads". Net net, don't hire dumb people who can easily get phished. Once the money is gone, it almost always never come back. We counted ourselves lucky that we only lost 40% instead of 100% which is common from what we learned.
I suspect there's a lot more successful attack that resulted in monetary loss than meets the media. When I was at a venture-funded startup back in 2011, we had just raised $15M and on a fri late afternoon, our CFO received an email that looked like it came from our bank. He clicked on it and was immediately phished. Between 4-5pm they transferred $3M out of the account in multiple chunks. The company hasn't set up alerts and the bank, which was a regional one, did not have sophisticated filters to catch them. Long story short, it quickly went Dubai, Hong Kong and London. By the time Mon comes around, some of the money has been re-tranferred again to Asia and Eastern Europe.
My prediction - AAPL stock will repeat performance in late 2012. Management just needs to be more aggressive like FB in M&A instead of sitting on the $100B+ cash pile which investors will punish them for. Apple should have bought Oculus. Not FB.
