Zoom <\/a> acquires some encryption expertise, Uber makes a big investment in scooters and we review the new 13-inch Macbook Pro.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your Daily Crunch for May 7, 2020.<\/p>\n

1. Zoom acquires Keybase to get end-to-end encryption expertise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Keybase, <\/a> whose encryption products include secure file sharing and collaboration tools, should give Zoom some security credibility as it goes through pandemic demand growing pains.\u00a0A number of Zoom security issues have come to light in the last couple of months as demand has soared and exposed security weaknesses in the platform.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the deal,\u00a0Keybase will become a subsidiary of Zoom and co-founder and Max Krohn will lead the Zoom security engineering team, reporting directly to Yuan to help build the security product.<\/p>\n

2. Uber leads $170 million Lime investment, offloads Jump to Lime<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the deal (which was reported earlier this week but is now official), Lime is also acquiring Uber\u2019s micro-mobility subsidiary Jump. There will be more integrations between Uber and Jump in the future, but both apps will remain active for now.<\/p>\n

3. Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

With this week\u2019s news, the 13-inch becomes the third and final member of the MacBook family to get the new keyboard. It\u2019s not \u201cMagic\u201d as the name implies (Apple really does love the M-word), but Brian Heater says improvements are immediate and vast.<\/p>\n

4. Nintendo sells a lot more Switches, as people stay at home playing Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The company says it has sold 21 million Switch units in the past year, handily beating a 19.5 million forecast. 6.2 million of those systems were the newer, cheaper Switch Lite, which hit the market in September. All of this comes as Nintendo has run up against shortages through a combination of increased popularity and a a global supply chain knocked off balance from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

5. How will digital media survive the ad crash?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bustle Digital Group\u2019s Jason Wagenheim told us that he\u2019s anticipating a 35% decline in ad revenue for this quarter. And where he\u2019d once hoped BDG would reach $120 or $125 million in ad revenue this year, he\u2019s now trying to figure out \u201cwhat does our company look like at $75 or $90 million?\u201d (Extra Crunch membership required.)<\/p>\n

6. Apple awards $10 million to rapidly scale COVID-19 sample collection kit production<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple has awarded $10 million from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund to COPAN Diagnostics, a company focused on producing sample collection kits for testing COVID-19 to hospitals in the U.S. The money comes from the fund that Apple established to support the development and growth of U.S.-based manufacturing \u2014 to date, the fund has been used to support companies tied more directly to Apple\u2019s own supply chain.<\/p>\n

7. Sonos debuts new Arc soundbar, next-generation Sonos Sub, and Sonos Five speaker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sonos has introduced a trio of new hardware today, adding three new smart speakers to its lineup, including the Sonos Arc soundbar that includes Dolby Atmos support, as well as Sonos Five, the next version of its Sonos Play:5 speaker, and a third-generation Sonos Sub.<\/p>\n
