TCL will continue making BlackBerry-branded phones
BlackBerry’s two most recent smartphones weren’t actually built by BlackBerry. Instead, the DTEK50 and DTEK60 smartphones with Blackberry software and the BlackBerry name were designed and built by TCL, the company behind the Alcatel line of smartphones.
Now it looks like the two companies will continue to work together… but in a slightly different way.
BlackBerry and TCL have announced a “long-term licensing agreement” that basically means TCL will design, build, sell, and offer support for BlackBerry-branded phones, while licensing software and security solutions form BlackBerry.

In wake of billion-user hack, Verizon reportedly not so hot for Yahoo
In July 2016, Verizon announced it would buy Yahoo for $4.83 billion.

Less than 24 hours after Yahoo disclosed that one billion of its users had personal data stolen by a state-sponsored actor, Verizon is “exploring a price cut or possible exit” from its proposed blockbuster deal to acquire Yahoo, according to Bloomberg.
Back in October, Verizon’s top lawyer told reporters that Yahoo’s September announcement of a data breach of more than 500 million e-mail accounts constituted a potential material impact that would allow for the mobile powerhouse to pull out of the $4.83 billion deal. That arrangement, which was announced in July 2016, has yet to formally close.
Verizon is already the owner of AOL after buying that company for $4.4 billion last year. Buying Yahoo would give the telco control over a second giant of the early Web. The AOL purchase provided Verizon with numerous news sites, a large advertising business, and more than 2 million dial-up Internet subscribers. Yahoo would give AOL a large base of website visitors and still more advertising revenue.

Trump team now says request for Energy Dept. staffers’ names “not authorized”
Staffers worried new administration would improperly punish civil servants.
On Wednesday, a spokesman for President-Elect Trump’s transition team told Reuters that the team would not be seeking the names of Department of Energy (DOE) employees who had attended meetings and conferences on climate change.
"The questionnaire was not authorized or part of our standard protocol," Trump spokesman Sean Spicer told the news outlet. "The person who sent it has been properly counseled." Spicer apparently declined to comment any further.
The controversial questionnaire was sent to the Department of Energy last Friday, and included dozens of questions about the legal, financial, and organizational structures within the DOE. While the majority of the questions were straightforward, several questions stood out as highly unusual for any administration’s transition team to ask. Specifically, Trump’s team demanded names of individual employees that attended conferences on the social cost of carbon as well as names of employees that attended any Conference of the Parties hosted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
