Google deletes Indian app that deleted Chinese apps
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2020/06/04/google-deletes-indian-app-that-deleted-chinese-apps/
The app, created by Jaipur, India-based developer OneTouch AppLabs, purported to scan Android phones for any apps with links to China. It used market research to identify apps from a named list and would then offer users the chance to wipe them from the user’s phone.
- it would delete TikTok, UC Browswer, Zoom, etc.
After deleting the apps, it displayed the message “You are awesome”.
Had 1 million downloads in the first 10 days of launching.

Ideology differences and growing tensions with China
Google is said to have taken down the app under its deceptive behaviour guidelines. They prohibit apps that mislead users into removing or disabling third-party apps or modifying device settings or features, or which encourage users to remove or disable third-party apps.



Groundbreaking Israeli microscope can change the face of tech — scientists
https://www.timesofisrael.com/groundbreaking-israeli-microscope-can-change-the-face-of-tech-scientists/

Israeli scientists say they have developed a quantum electron microscope that gives the clearest picture ever produced of light moving inside materials.

Kaminer explained that microscope technology hasn’t kept up with the needs of the high-tech sector, which can innovate and problem-solve best if it can see, in detail, what is happening inside the chips, components and devices it produces. His microscope can show movement of both electricity and light, he said.

“Now, we can see where current is going, where light is moving, and how temperature evolves,” he said. “Other electron microscopes can do this within certain limits. Almost all electron microscopes show you still images, or very slow images at 100 frames per second, while we have a million billion frames per second.

“With this I can take electronic devices, glimpse inside, and see things in time and space that others can’t. For example we’ll be able to see, when operating a device, where current is going and how quickly.”

Full Strawberry Moon tonight
• It coincides with a  penumbral lunar eclipse that will see the Moon dim slightly
• The Moon won't appear pink unless it is close to the horizon as the name comes from the fact it coincides with the annual strawberry harvest not its color
