- Former Apple UI designer joins Facebook to lead product design team
It remains to be seen exactly what he’ll be involved with, but Facebook’s new Product Design Manager brings quite a background with him to the job. Until just a few months ago, Chris Weeldreyer was a UI Design Manager at Apple (a role held for over eight years) where, as The Next Web reports, he was responsible for the company’s iWeb and Numbers software, and has been named in a number of Apple’s patent applications. Before that, he worked in both hardware and software product development, having held positions at Frog Design, Pentagram and Cooper. No word from either company on the move, but Weeldreyer himself made the move official on his LinkedIn page — and, of course, his Facebook profile.

Xiaomi Black Shark 2 shows up on Geekbench running Android 8.1 Oreo
Xiaomi is all set to launch the follow-up to the Black Shark gaming smartphone released in April this year - it has an official landing page up, it has the TENAA clearance and supposedly a launch date as well.

But the sheet also reveals Android 8.1 Oreo running out of the box. With Android 9.0 Pie out since August that's somewhat disappointing but with...
