May the Star Wars be ever in your favor or whatever. It's The Daily Crunch

THE DAILY CRUNCH THURSDAY, MAY 4 2017 By Darrell Etherington It's Star Wars Day, so close this email client and go watch a Star War. Whichever one you like, as long as it's not Episode I through III. Still want news? Fine, here's The Daily Crunch for May the 4th, 2017. 1. [Google faces a new, sophisticated email attack]( A lot of people received legit looking invitations to work on Google Docs with users they likely recognize and trust yesterday. It was part of a new type of well camouflaged hack, and there's no shame if you fell for it. Google has stopped the attack and is working to block off the attack vector entirely in the future. But it's a scary warning shot: You might not be as immune to phishing as you think, even if you're otherwise tech savvy. 2. [Apple starts a $1 billion fund for US manufacturing jobs]( Few tech companies probably know more about the practical issues facing bringing manufacturing to the U.S. in a sustainable way than Apple. The iPhone maker has been assembling its Mac Pro in the U.S. for some time now. It's also now setting up a $1 billion fund to help encourage the development of advanced manufacturing jobs in the U.S. It definitely sounds like a reaction to Trumpism, but Apple says it was in the works before floppy hair president.

[Intel sets up self-driving shop in Silicon Valley]( Intel wants to be at the center of the coming autonomous driving revolution, so it makes sense that it would set up shop front and center in the heart of where the tech is being made. The chipmaker just opened its Autonomous Driving Garage in San Jose, very close to anyone doing anything cool in the exciting space. It's also a literal garage. 4. [Imagination Technologies doesn't like Apple's decision to make its own GPUs]( Apple has long used Imagination Technologies to supply its mobile graphic chipsets, but now the two are on the verge of a legal fight following Apple's decision to bring its mobile GPU design process in-house. Apple's already fighting Qualcomm, so I wonder how many more chipmakers it can piss off. 5. [BlackBerry's back?]( The KeyOne is a BlackBerry that you might actually want. Which is hilarious because it has more in common with the very first Android phones than with BlackBerry devices, between a physical keyboard and Android OS. Everything old is new again. 6. [FBI director pushes for decryption bill]( Oh Comey, at it again you wild and crazy dude. His latest antic is to support a fresh effort to get legislation passed to mandate access to encryption tech, the so-called 'backdoor' of ill repute. Not cool, Comey. 7. [Transport Canada recalls the AT-AT]( The next big vehicle recall isn't for a car – it's for the AT-AT walkers the Imperials used to invade Hoth. Canada's transportation regulator doesn't think they're fit for use on its snowy tundra.
