News Now: Apple loses iPhone trademark in China, Ellen Pao’s solution to gender discrimination, and more news.

Another Auto Scandal: Takata is preparing to recall another 35 million “rupture-prone” air-bag inflators deemed unsafe by U.S. regulators “in one of the largest such actions in U.S. history,” reports The Wall Street Journal. The recall, which will likely affect tens of millions of cars and has already affected more than a dozen automakers, could still increase, adding on to the already 28.8 million inflators being recalled by the U.S. It’s another auto scandal piling onto existing ones by Mitsubishi, Volkswagen and others... which begs the question, is it safe to get in a car anymore?! 

IPHONE, the purse: Apple has lost another trademark dispute in China, incredibly over the word "IPHONE." A China leather goods company trademarked "IPHONE" five years after Apple trademarked "iPhone" — in China. But a Chinese court ruled no harm to Apple because iPhones weren't for sale in China until two years after IPHONEs were, so consumers, of course, won't think their goods aren’t at least designed in California. Carl Icahn may be onto something ...

Twitter shares hit a new lifetime low, closing at $14.00 (it continued to drop after hours). Just two weeks ago the social media site slid 10% after hours after disappointing earnings that had “investors… dismayed with revenue growth.” It’s been a long drop from what was once a golden child of Silicon Valley. 

Ellen Pao, who lost a headline-grabbing gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins, has created an advocacy group to advise startups on the issue. Project Include has attracted other female leaders like former Reddit chief engineer Bethanye McKinney Blount, and will “suggest ways to recruit and hire a diverse group of workers, as well as provide advice on how to train, compensate, and retain those people,” Bloomberg reports. She wouldn’t be the first.

Cruz sinks: Ted Cruz dropped out of the presidential race after losing to Donald Trump in Indiana. The Texan politician didn't bow out quietly though. Hours before the Indiana primary, Cruz called Trump a “pathological liar,” an “utterly immoral” man and a “narcissist at a level I don’t think this country has ever seen.” With Cruz out, the Donald is likely to clinch the Republican nomination. Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary, prolonging that side of the race. 

Go Ahead, Make My Day: Uber riders will be able to pay for and hail a ride using Alibaba-owned mobile payments app Alipay in the more than 400 cities where Uber operates as part of its next move in the ongoing rideshare service battle (Lyft recently announced its integration with China’s Didi app). It seems, though, that the real winner may end up being neither. <re/code>’s Johana Bhuiyan writes: “The clear winner in this entire situation is Alipay’s affiliate company, Alibaba. That’s because the Chinese e-commerce company is playing both sides of the fence — Alibaba is an investor in both Didi and Lyft, and Ant Financial, which operates Alipay, has had this partnership with Uber since 2014.”

Google Chrome Takes the Trophy: Chrome has pushed out Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Edge as the most popular internet browser by a hair, Nikkei reports. This isn’t the first time this has been announced, although the last round of research wasn’t done by Net Applications, who Microsoft said had the most accurate data. This recent study was in fact done by Net Applications, though, which gives Microsoft little way out other than to accept the cold hard facts.

Hamilton Hype: Broadway’s Hamilton received a record 16 nominations for the Tony Awards. If you’re hoping to see what all the hype is about, it won’t be easy. The hip-hop musical is sold out for months and some tickets are being sold for thousands of dollars.

A Brazilian judge overturned a ruling that was meant to suspend Whatsapp for 72 hours. It’s the second Whatsapp suspension in Brazil in five months, with the most recent cause remaining under wraps “due to legal secrecy in an ongoing case.” More than three-fourths of mobile users in Brazil can now rest easy.
