MONDAY, MAY 14 2018 By Anthony Ha

Nintendo announces a return date for the NES Classic, a major security flaw affects email and hundreds of apps are suspended in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for May 14.

1. Nintendo's NES Classic will return to U.S. retail stores on June 29

It's good news for Nintendo fans who missed out the first time around, even if it's not a complete surprise. Nintendo said last September that it would bring both the NES Classic and the SNES Classic back this year after the products turned out to be big hits.

The company also says the SNES Classic will remain on sale until the end of 2018.

2. Researchers warn of critical flaw affecting PGP and S/MIME

4. Favstar says it will shut down June 19 as a result of Twitter's API changes for data streams

Favstar was an early leader in developing a way to track and review how tweets were getting liked and retweeted. Creator Tim Haines blamed changes that Twitter is making to its API: "Favstar can't continue to operate in this environment of uncertainty."

5. President Trump says he's working to give ZTE a reprieve

He cited a loss of jobs in China as the motivating factor — which is confusing, given Trump's usually combative stance towards China when it comes to trade policy.

6. Uber lets you rate mid-ride before you forget feedback

The idea is to avoid situations where you might forget to rate the driver, or you just give them five stars hours after the drive because you don't remember what happened.
