Huawei is making moves to sidestep the Trump administration's de facto ban by trademarking its own operating system.

To no one's surprise, Huawei isn't reacting calmly to losing key suppliers in the wake of the US' trade restrictions. Representative Abraham Liu said the company was the "victim of the bullying by the US administration," and that this was an attack on the "liberal, rules-based order."

Huawei was "working closely" with Google to see how it could "handle the situation," Liu said, noting that Google had no motivations to block the company beyond complying with US law.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data seem to be the buzzwords of the decade. We’re not just talking robots or autonomous cars — AI and ML’s reach will surely be beyond that. What that really is has been yet to be determined, but the technology will surely stretch across all that SDxCentral covers including 5G, IoT, security, SDN, NFV, and monitoring.

Embedded browsers within apps can be useful if you want to use an existing account from another service -- say, your Gmail log-in -- to access their features. However, they're also really easy to weaponize for man-in-the-middle types of phishing attacks. Since Google can't differentiate between a legitimate log-in and a phishing attempt through a browser from within an application, it's blocking sign-ins from all embedded browser frameworks starting in June.
