Weekend rollup

This is a new feature we’re adding for Monday morning. We’ll post the weekend rollup first thing Monday morning as a convenience for folks who don’t get the chance to check the weekend Loop posts.

This weekend:

We started with a post about Amazon’s plans to buy some developer love and apps for their new Fire Phone. Good? Bad? Maybe a little of both.

Legos! iOS! Tower Defense! This might be a cool product.

Yahoo takes their eye off the ball, loses their iOS weather business. A complete loss.

Google figures out if you are a parent, shares that news with advertisers.

DDoS ransom attacks are not only now a thing, but an ever-increasing thing. Especially for startups.

Disney bought Star Wars. Then they bought Marvel. Same price. And now Disney is forcing Star Wars into the same mold.

And for the piece de resistance, my favorite post of the weekend was this terrific video of Susan Kare, the original Mac icon designer, telling some old school Apple tales. Fantastic video.

Like this rollup? Think we should do it every Monday? Let me know via Twitter or in the comments.
