Apple wants this recipe app to stop using a pear in its logo
Apple has filed a notice of opposition against a meal prep company because it claims the Prepear app’s cartoon fruit logo— in this case, a pear— is too close to Apple’s own trademarked logo which is, of course, an apple (via MacRumors and iPhone in Canada). The company claims the pear logo would “cause dilution of the distinctiveness” of the Apple logo, and make it difficult for consumers to distinguish between Prepear and Apple’s goods and services, which it argues is a violation ...

Survival of the fittest? More like "friendliest," scientists argue in new book
Charles Darwin
Survival of the "friendliest"? Charles Darwin's famous phrase may have been misinterpreted, a new book suggests. Duke University scientists Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods argue in Survival of the Friendliest: Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity that factors like friendliness, partnership and communication are key to evolutionary success, not being big, strong, and/or mean.
Here's an excerpt adapted from the book (via Popular Science):

Weekend poll: Did you pre-order a Pixel 4a, Note20, or Note20 Ultra?
Did any of last week's new phones catch your eye?
This last week was pretty busy for smartphones. We got two major announcements almost back-to-back with Google's Pixel 4a and Samsung's new Note20 series. It's quite a spread, from midrange to literal "Ultra" flagship. While you can't zip down to the store and get one today, we're curious of any of our readers have pre-ordered either.
The phones probably have more differences than commonalities. Google's Pixel 4a runs just $350, with a pri...

The reason, Apple said, is because those apps provide access to games that haven't been rated by Apple's review guidelines.
"Our customers enjoy great apps and games from millions of developers, and gaming services can absolutely launch on the App Store as long as they follow the same set of guidelines applicable to all developers," an Apple spokesperson told Business Insider, "inclu...
