'Pokémon GO' Community Day: How To Get Yourself A Shiny Black Charizard
Pokémon GO Community Day is back, and while I don’t want to overhype it, this is probably the best one the game has had to date. The featured Pokémon is Charmander, and in addition to learning Blast Burn when Charmeleon evolves into Charizard today, a 110 damage, two bar fire move, the starter Pokémon is also available as a shiny. While most shinies may have barely noticeable color palate shifts, as you can see above, shiny Charizard is straight up black and red, the most badass color scheme you can put on a flying fire dragon.

[$$] Canaccord Firm on Apple Target at $208
Apple • AAPL-Nasdaq Buy • Price $186.44 on May 15 by Canaccord Genuity Based on work for our North America survey, we believe the iPhone maintained its leading market share at all four major U.S. carriers—AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile US, and Sprint—and its overall share was probably greater than 50%. Further, we believe Apple’s ecosystem approach, including its installed base of over 1.3 billion devices globally, will contribute to strong ongoing growth in services revenue. Greater segmentation could lead to year-over-year unit growth in 2019.

Google's EU Battles Are Hardly a Reason to Panic
The disputes are getting fresh attention after it was learned that CBS's newsmagazine 60 Minutes will air a segment on Sunday about Google's perceived anticompetitive behavior -- a segment that will include remarks from European Commission (EC) chief Margrethe Vestager. In 2016, the EC charged Google with abusing the dominant market positions of Google Search and Android in several ways. The Android portion of the dispute could hurt Google by giving smartphone makers leverage to demand higher ad revenue-sharing payments in exchange for making Google the default search engine on their phones.

Primary among the reasons is that despite all the screeching, European companies will not be likely to get a waiver from soon-to-be-imposed U.S. sanctions on Iran. Earlier this month the Trump administration refused to recertify the so-called nuclear deal with Iran.

Over the last decade, YouTube has emerged as one of the biggest video entertainment sources for a generation of consumers, and the biggest one for some of those consumers. announced it's replacing the $10-per-month YouTube Red subscription service it launched in 2015 with YouTube Music Premium and YouTube Premium, two separate services that cost $10 and $12 per month, respectively. Music Premium pairs the kind of offerings typically provided by rival music services -- audio-only streaming and downloads, playlists, music recommendations and standalone mobile apps -- with ad-free viewing and downloads for YouTube music videos, as well as access to remixes, covers and live versions of songs not found elsewhere.
