24	:34	tm	Three former Apple semiconductor executives, Gerard Williams III, Manu Gulati, and John Bruno have founded a company called Nuvia. The company is developing processor called Phoenix. The company wants to take what they learned designing low power chips for mobile devices and make a faster more power-efficient more secure chip for data centers. Qualcomm (along with Marvell and Ampere) have been aiming to do the same thing. But Nuvia brings in experience. Willaims spent nine years at Apple as chief architect of Apple's central processors and systems on a chip. Gulati spent eight yers at Apple working on mobile systems on a chip. And Bruuno spent 5 years at Apple int he platform architecture group. Gelati and Bruno also worked at Google.	https://venturebeat.com/2019/11/15/former-apple-chip-makers-form-nuvia-to-rival-intel-and-amd-server-cpus/
25	:37	sl	Apple's pivot to services has led JPMorgan Chase to estimate Apple's advertising income could quintuple over the next six years to $11 billion annually. AppleTV, the App Store and Safari are seen as places where Apple could raise its revenue. But will they? Apple has marketed itself as a company that respects privacy and having an effective advertising program often conflicts with prioritizing user privacy.	https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-advertising/apple-could-raise-annual-ad-income-to-11-billion-by-2025-jpmorgan-idUSKBN1XP17L?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews

The rules define political content as referencing, "a candidate, political party, elected or appointed government official, election, referendum, ballot measure, legislation, regulation, directive, or judicial outcome."It also bans "Ads that contain references to political content, including appeals for votes, solicitations of financial support, and advocacy for or against any of the above-listed types of political content." Candidates, parties, governments or officials, PACs, and certain political nonprofit groups are banned from any advertising altogether. An exemption will be given to news organizations with 200,000 monthly uniques or more that make their own content and focus on more than one issue. An exemption will also be given to "cause-based" content to allow “ads that educate, raise awareness, and/or call for people to take action in connection with civic engagement, economic growth, environmental stewardship, or social equity causes.” This last exemption does not allow targeting by zip code or political preference and can't reference or be run on behalf of the entities based from ads, like candidates and parties.	https://techcrunch.com/2019/11/15/twitter-makes-its-political-ad-ban-official/
