Before legendary investor Warren Buffett was an iconic billionaire, he was a 13-year-old boy slinging newspapers.

Nowadays, of course, he's the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway — one of the world's most powerful conglomerates, and a 5% stakeholder in Apple.

As an homage to those humble beginnings and Buffett's tight connection with Apple, the iPhone maker created a new game wherein you deliver newspapers in both Omaha, Nebraska and Cupertino, California.

Here's the deal:

The FaceTime app that comes preloaded on every recent iPhone and iPad is one of the greatest tools we have for staying connected to one another. While in decades past, the real time video call was the thing of science fiction, today it is such a commonplace option most of us take video calling for granted. That is, right up until it's time to start a FaceTime session on a new iPad, and we realize we actually don't know how to use it.

Don't worry, using FaceTime on iPads is as easy as a few taps. But first, if you're scrolling left and right on your iPad and just can't find your FaceTime app, make sure it's not locked by parental settings. Click the Settings app, then tap "Screen Time," then "Content & Privacy Restrictions" (you'll likely need a password here) to make sure FaceTime is allowed.

And if you still can't find it, just download FaceTime onto your iPad from the app store. After that, it couldn't be much easier to use FaceTime on an iPad.

How to make a FaceTime call on iPad

1. Tap the FaceTime app to launch it.

2. Tap the blue "+" icon at the top of the screen.

3. Type in the name (if you're FaceTiming a contact), email address, or phone number of the person you wish to reach.

4. Tap the "Audio" or "Video" button to send the call.

Assuming the person on the receiving end accepts, you will then be connected, either in a live video chat wherein you can see through their iPad or iPhone's screen-side camera and they yours, or an audio call where you can speak but neither party can see one another.

And if you wish to start a group conversation, simply hit the blue "+" before placing the call and enter another contact, email, or number. You can have up to 32 people on a group FaceTime session, though your screen will be pretty cluttered if you actually go with that many people.

The FBI last month raided the headquarters of the $600 million Silicon Valley healthcare startup uBiome, reportedly as part of an investigation into questionable billing practices.

Even before the FBI raid, customers had been experiencing billing problems at the startup for more than a year, according to a review of complaints by Business Insider. The complaints, obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request, hadn't been previously reported.

uBiome began as a citizen science project and sought to create a large public database on the microbiome, the rich assortment of bacteria that thrive in our bodies and appear to influence everything from our moods to our risks of certain diseases.

In recent years, however, the company had been significantly enhancing its profile, raising $105 million from investors, collecting thousands of samples, publishing scientific research, and signing research partnerships with major brands such as L'Oréal.

In April, the FBI raided uBiome's headquarters. On the heels of the raid, the company placed cofounders and co-CEOs Jessica Richman and Zachary Apte on administrative leave. John Rakow, the company's general counsel, is acting as the interim CEO.

Complaints reviewed by Business Insider show that uBiome customers were experiencing billing problems for more than a year before the FBI raid. The Federal Trade Commission received 28 complaints about the startup between July 2017 and March 2019, according to records obtained by Business Insider.

Of the 28 complaints sent to the FTC, 22 were related to billing, either cases in which patients got an unexpected bill or instances in which insurers were billed for tests that weren't delivered. Others mention instances in which users didn't get their test results after sending in their samples.

Customers faced unexpected bills of as much as $3,000

Many of the complaints point to instances in which users were told their insurance was approved. Some had signed up under uBiome's pilot program, which told potential test takers in big letters "no cost to you." If the health insurers didn't pay, the people thought they wouldn't be on the hook for the costs. But instead, the people say in the complaints that they were left facing bills of as much as $3,000.

"I ordered a kit and was not disclosed the cost of using the service. Company only stated they will process it through insurance," one complaint says. "My insurance company only covered some of the bill and it left me to pay over $2,000 for testing."

The FTC removed the names and other identifying information of the people who made the complaints before providing them to Business Insider. The agency said it couldn't verify the claims and that it couldn't confirm or deny whether it's investigating uBiome.

A representative of uBiome declined to comment on the FTC complaints. The representative deferred to a previous statement in which uBiome said it would conduct an independent investigation of its billing practices and cooperate with government authorities and health insurers.

One complaint, from April 2018, said that the patient's spouse had mistakenly been billed for the test the patient had taken. In the course of sorting out the mistake, uBiome billed both the patient and the spouse, charging an additional $2,970 for a test that wasn't taken.

One patient complained that his or her insurer had been billed for a test for which the patient never got the result. Another was notified in April 2018 by their insurer that the insurer had overpaid uBiome for a test. The insurer then wanted a refund of more than $600. Others had funds taken directly out of special savings accounts that they had set up to pay for medical services.

uBiome stopped selling 2 of its tests

On Monday, uBiome halted sales of SmartGut and SmartJane, which were tests that had to be ordered by a doctor. The company will still sell its "Explorer" test, which doesn't require a prescription.

The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the FBI raid, reported that the FBI is investigating uBiome's billing practices.

CNBC reported in May that people who used uBiome's testing kits said they were encouraged by the company to take more than one test — sometimes as many as six. In some cases, they were sent multiple tests, CNBC said; in others, the company sent emails encouraging them to order another test.

The idea is that by taking several tests over time, you can get a better picture of how your microbiome is changing.

On its website, uBiome says that the tests are "insurance-reimbursed" and that "uBiome clinical tests are fully or partially covered by most health insurance companies under 'out-of-network' healthcare benefits."

Some health insurers don't cover the tests

Some large insurers don't cover the tests.

In its medical policy, Anthem considers uBiome's tests "investigational and not medically necessary," and Aetna considers the tests "experimental and investigational because their role in clinical management has not been established."

Insurers including Aetna and Cambia Health Solutions' Regence BlueCross BlueShield are looking into the company's billing practices, according to people familiar with the matter.

The stars of Silicon Valley certainly are an eclectic bunch.

Tech moguls like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos all have their own rituals, which help them manage their multi-billion dollar empires, and maintain healthy minds and bodies. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has even turned his own lifestyle habits into a quasi-cult following.

The eating, sleeping, and exercise patterns of the tech world's top executives vary from the extreme — Dorsey eats once a day and eschews food almost entirely on weekends — to the surprisingly every day: Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos both insist on doing the dishes.

Tesla emailed employees warning them of ramifications for violating their confidentiality agreements, according to company emails obtained by CNBC.

In the letter to employees, Tesla cited "an intense amount of public interest" in the company, and "people who will do anything to see us fail."

The company also warned that some of these people, ostensibly journalists, would be "targeting" employees through their social media accounts. Tesla advised that if employees were asked for information through social media they should forward the requests to a security team.

"These solicitations are not only potentially damaging to our company, they can also be illegal, putting you and your colleagues/friends at risk for termination or even the possibility of criminal charges," the letter reportedly said.

Tesla included several examples of "inappropriate conduct and the potential consequences" for employees who may be "unsure about what constitutes unacceptable behavior," according to CNBC:

Tesla and CEO Elon Musk have found themselves in unflattering news reports in recent months, as Business Insider's Linette Lopez pointed out.

Musk, a prolific tweeter, was also embroiled in controversy after he allegedly "falsely indicated" that funding to take Tesla private at $420 "was secured" in a tweet.

Musk's tweets have caught the attention of the Security and Exchange Commission, which ordered him to stop making material statements regarding Tesla. Musk was fined $20 million and was required to step down as chairman of Tesla's board of directors for three years.

Tesla did not respond to a request for comment on Friday.

Apple "significantly" overstates the battery life of certain iPhone models, says a new report from United Kingdom-based consumer advocacy group Which?.

The group said it tested nine different models and found that all of them fell short of Apple's promises by between 18% and 51%. The iPhone XR strayed the furthest from Apple's claims when it comes to talk time, according to the the findings. Which? says it lasted for 16 hours and 32 minutes, while Apple's website says the iPhone XR can offer up to 25 hours of talk time.

Which? is an independent British consumer advice group that tests and reviews products across a variety of categories. Last month, it published the results of an investigation that found Amazon is flooded with fake reviews.

In a response to Which?'s test, Apple said the following:

"We rigorously test our products and stand behind our battery life claims. With tight integration between hardware and software, iPhone is engineered to intelligently manage power usage to maximize battery life. Our testing methodology reflects that intelligence. Which? haven't shared their methodology with us so we can't compare their results to ours. We share our methodology for testing which we publish in detail here."

To conduct its testing, Which? timed how long fully charged phones last when making continuous phone calls and compares that time against the manufacturers' claims.

Read more: These are the new iPhone and iPad features Apple is expected to release this fall

The group says it also conducts a similar test to see how long a phone will last when browsing the internet continuously on a single charge. It also runs other tests before passing judgement on a device's battery life, the company says.

Which? tested more than 50 mobile phones from popular brands like Samsung, HTC, Sony, and Nokia in addition to Apple. The results found that HTC also exaggerated the battery life for its devices, saying that the average talk time for its products was 5% lower than what the Taiwanese tech company says.

"At HTC we diligently test all aspects of product performance," the company said in a statement to Which?. "Differences in setup and testing environments may result in some variation to stated talk time figures."

Brands like Samsung, Nokia, and Sony, however, understated the talk time of their respective devices, according to the results from Which?.

It's important to keep in mind that battery life will always vary depending on how you use your phone. Factors such as screen brightness, app usage, and the amount of notifications you receive can impact how long your phone lasts. If you're frequently in areas with poor cell service, you may also find that your battery is draining more quickly as it searches for a signal.

The test results also seemingly contradict reviews of the iPhone XR from reputable tech sites including CNET, AnandTech, and Tom's Guide, all of which rated the iPhone XR as having excellent battery life. All three websites ran benchmarked battery tests on the iPhone XR and found that it outlasted Apple's more expensive iPhone XS and iPhone XR models.

During Google's first quarter earnings call on Monday, CEO Sundar Pichai broke the news to investors that sales of its Pixel smartphone had declined.

The reason? Pichai skirted around specifics and instead blamed general "headwinds" facing the high-end smartphone industry.

"Phones definitely across an industry, I think we are working through a phase where there is definite year-on-year headwinds," Pichai said.

Read more:Google CEO Sundar Pichai blames a drop in sales of its Pixel smartphone on 'headwinds' that are putting pressure on every expensive phone

Google's chief exec isn't wrong in calling out the downward trends facing the industry.

Apple has been rocked by declining iPhone sales as of late — so much so that the hardware giant has recently been making attempts to double-down on the "services" side of its business instead. Apple's iPhone sales beat analysts expectations in its earnings call on Tuesday, but were still down over 20% from the same period a year prior.

Samsung — the world's largest smartphone manufacturer — reported on Tuesday that operating profits from its mobile phones were down 40% year-over-year.

Frank Gillett, a Principal Analyst at Forrester, told Business Insider in a recent interview that the difficult market in which Google finds itself is a real threat to its smartphone business.

"Ownership cycles are lengthening," Gillett said. "There's much less compelling reasons now to upgrade phones, so people are pushing out to three or four year cycles on these high-end phones because they're so good."

Carolina Milanesi, a Principal Analyst at Creative Strategies, told Business Insider that she agreed Google's sluggish smartphone sales can be attributed to the current landscape.

"I wouldn't say the high-end of the market is shrinking, but replacement cycles are lengthening which must have impacted Pixel 3," Milanesi said.

Still, both believe there's more to Pixel's declining sales than Pichai's blaming of the industry.

"Google is in a tricky place"

The Pixel phone didn't have an advantage when it came to pricing, Gillett said. At $799 when it first launched, the Pixel 3 was slightly higher in price than the comparable Apple phone — the iPhone XR — which retailed at $749.

The Pixel's capabilities, especially in regards to its camera, have also been difficult to market, according to Gillett.

The Pixel's main selling point has been the crisp photos it's able to capture, but the Google-made smartphone only has one rear-facing lens — compared to two cameras on many of the new iPhones and three on the Samsung S10+. Although, much of the Pixel's photo-making magic lies in its software, Gillett says, being able to communicate those capabilities to customers has been difficult.

"If someone is convinced that more cameras are better, they're going to discount Google," Gillett said. "At a certain point, there's only so much software can do compared to optics."

And then there's the delicate situation that Google finds itself in with other device makers.

Google relies on hardware makers — like Samsung, Nokia, and LG — to spread its Android software on their devices. By selling its own line of smartphones, Google is effectively competing against its own partners.

Milanesi told Business Insider that the main reason Pixel sales have declined is a lack of "channel presence" — that is, consumers are not able to buy the Pixel phone in enough places around the world. Forrester's Gillett pointed to Google's lackluster marketing efforts promoting the Pixel to mainstream consumers. This modest distribution and marketing may not be an accident.

"Google is in a tricky place because they don't want to go too hard on pushing their product line, otherwise they're going to annoy Samsung and everyone else who uses Android," Gillett said.

For that reason, he says, evaluating whether the Google Pixel is a success requires different criteria.

"We have to think of [Google] differently than say, 'Can they ever replace Samsung or Apple?' If they're smart, they're not trying to."

Reading the tea leaves of the "affordable" Pixel

Despite the tightrope Google must walk to keep its partners happy, the tech giant is rumored to have plans of expanding its smartphone lineup this month with the introduction of more affordable devices — the Pixel 3a and 3a XL.

The lower price tag for the new Pixels — reportedly as low as $400 — will make the phones far more accessible to the average consumer. How Google handles the launch — and eventual distribution — of its new smartphones could be an indicator of how the company will treat its hardware business moving forward.

A modest launch would show that Google is comfortable with slow sales, and considers the Pixel's primary purpose as setting a high standard for other hardware makers to emulate — ultimately lifting the quality of smartphones running its Android software.

An all-out marketing blitz could signal that Google has more serious expectations for its smartphone business, whatever the consequences.

Harley-Davidson isn't just the most famous motorcycle company in the world — it's also one of the most legendary and beloved brands in human history.

Harley-Davidson got its all-American start in 1903, at the dawn of the Motor Age. Two friends got together and combined bicycles with newfangled engines. Horses would never forgive them. Fast forward 116 years and Harley's market capitalization is nearly $6 billion.

That's not to say that the last 100 or so have been a completely smooth ride. Harley made it through two world wars and a very rough restructuring during the financial crisis. And now it's up against new challenges, as CEO Matt Levatich works to globalize sales amid a US market decline, recruit younger riders, and contend with the itchy Twitter finger of President Donald Trump, who has praised and penalized Harley in equal measure.

Let's take a look back at Harley-Davidson's long and illustrious history:

A Tesla Model S sedan caught fire in a garage in San Francisco, the San Francisco Fire Department tweeted on Friday. The incident was reported around midnight on Friday.

Firefighters saw smoke near the vehicle's rear right tire, though the vehicle was not charging at the time. The fire was extinguished, and the vehicle was removed from the garage. The garage was not damaged.

Read more: Life, death, and spontaneous combustion — here's why the debate about Tesla fires just got more fierce

A Tesla representative said the electric-car maker had not yet received any indication that the fire was caused by issues with the vehicle.

"Tesla cars are approximately 10 times less likely to experience a fire than gas cars," the representative said. "In this instance, we have not received any information to indicate that this fire was a result of any issues with the car itself. Still, we believe that even a factor of ten fewer fires per vehicle for electric cars is too many, and we aspire to be as close to zero as we can."

Vehicle fires have become a point of contention for Tesla due to incidents that have occurred after collisions or without any visible impact. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the company's vehicles are less likely to catch fire than gas-powered ones, but data from the National Fire Protection Association suggests the opposite.

Friday's incident followed reports of another fire involving a parked Model S that occurred in April in Shanghai. Tesla said on its Weibo account that it was investigating the incident.

You can read Tesla's full statement about Friday's incident below:

Tesla cars are approximately 10 times less likely to experience a fire than gas cars, which are involved in about 200,000 cases of fire per year in North America and well over one million worldwide. Based on our work investigating the causes of car fires, we know that there are many external factors that can cause a fire to occur, including building fires, vehicle damage, improper maintenance by unauthorized mechanics, aftermarket modifications, improper vehicle charging, and even arson. In this instance, we have not received any information to indicate that this fire was a result of any issues with the car itself. Still, we believe that even a factor of ten fewer fires per vehicle for electric cars is too many, and we aspire to be as close to zero as we can. We are always learning from our fleet and constantly evaluate whether there are over-the-air updates we can deploy to make our cars even safer than they already are.

An ever-growing body of evidence suggests the planet may be in the midst of a sixth mass extinction.

The phrase "mass extinction" typically conjures up images of the asteroid crash that led to the twilight of the dinosaurs. But another devastating (though perhaps less obvious) extinction event appears to be taking place today. The trend is hitting global fauna on multiple fronts, as hotter oceans, deforestation, and climate change drive animal populations down on an unprecedented scale.

Next week, yet another report is expected to back up that idea.

On Monday, the United Nations is scheduled to release a report from its Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) that assesses the state of the planet's biodiversity. That document, the first such analysis since 2005, evaluates how many species are threatened by extinction and why, how many species have already been lost, and looks at other metrics like population growth and greenhouse-gas emission increases.

The 1,800-page document aggregates research from more than 15,000 academic papers and research publications, and it hopes to inform policy makers on how to better address the effects of climate change.

The AFP appears to have obtained an early draft of the report, and according to their characterization of its findings, things may be even worse than we thought.

The AFP reported in April that the draft describes "an imminent rapid acceleration in the global rate of species extinction," and goes on to say that "half-a-million to a million species are projected to be threatened with extinction, many within decades."

The UN is set to release a summary of the full report after it gets finalized at a summit in Paris this weekend.

According to the AFP, the draft it obtained also concludes that 75% of land, 40% of oceans and 50% of rivers already "manifest severe impacts of degradation" from human activity. Much of this has to do with greenhouse-gas emissions from energy production, manufacturing, and transportation. Since 1980, the rate of man-made emissions has doubled, leading to a global temperature rise of at least 0.7 degrees Celsius (about 1 degree Fahrenheit).

Although we have yet to read the full report — in-depth coverage from Business Insider will follow its release Monday — the trends that the AFP reported align with other studies about the falling populations of many animal species.

A 2017 study found that species around the world are experiencing a "biological annihilation" and that our current "mass extinction episode has proceeded further than most assume."

Roughly 40% of the world's insect species are in decline. A 2019 study found that the total mass of all insects on the planet is decreasing by 2.5% per year. If that trend continues unabated, the Earth may not have any insects at all by 2119.

Already, there is consensus on one key driver of these alarming extinction trends: human activities. According to a 2014 study, current extinction rates are 1,000 times higher than they would be if humans weren't around.

The impending UN report will likely confirm that conclusion.

According to the AFP, the report "depicts a planet ravaged by rampant overconsumption and drowning in pollution."

OnePlus dunked its new OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone in a bucket of water in a teaser tweet posted on Friday, despite the fact that it doesn't have an official "IP" water resistance rating like other flagships from Samsung, Apple, and Samsung.

The company is snubbing official IP ratings for resistance to water and dust, saying it costs smartphone users more to include them. Indeed, it costs phone makers money to obtain official water resistance certifications, and the company is suggesting that other phone makers pass that cost down to smartphone buyers.

OnePlus is apparently confident that the OnePlus 7 Pro will have enough water resistance to withstand a good water bucket dunk.

Still, the company doesn't suggest that you actively expose its upcoming smartphone to water. Fine print in the video says: "Water resistant under optimal test conditions. OnePlus makes no guarantees regarding water/liquid resistance."

That's to say that anyone who exposes the OnePlus 7 Pro to water is responsible for the damage and the ensuing costs to repair or replace the device if it does succumb to liquid damage.

Of course, the same things goes for water damage on phones that boast an official IP rating. Apple's support pages, for example, note that "if liquid damages an iPhone or iPod (for example, coffee or a soft drink), the service for the liquid damage isn't covered by the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty." You'd have to buy AppleCare+ for $6 per month and pay another $100 for the repair or replacement, which is what you'd get if the iPhone didn't have an official IP rating.

Read more: The latest smartphone from the best phone maker you've never heard of is coming in 3 weeks — here's what we know so far.

Samsung also says "Physical damage is not covered under the Samsung Limited Warranty" under its liquid damage support page. Carriers might have their own extended warranty options that cover liquid damage the same way Apple does.

At the end of the day, official ratings don't really mean that much if your smartphone is damaged by liquid, even if the liquid damage happened within the conditions listed by the IP rating, like "up to 30 minutes under five feet of water."

To be fair, there wouldn't be a good way for phone makers to confirm that liquid damage occurred within the rating's specs.

Official ratings give you peace of mind that your smartphone will be able to withstand certain amounts of water. With OnePlus, you'll just have to take their word for it.

Backing up your computer is probably not something you think about every day. But even if it hasn't been at the top of your mind lately, it will inevitably become important.

Just think about how your computer will work two or three or five years from now — what will happen to all of your data if your Mac suddenly goes black-screen on you?

Even though most people know they should backup their information, the motivation isn't always strong enough to make it happen. Luckily, Macs are really easy to back up.

In fact, they're designed to do it, all you have to do is pick a backup method and set it up.

A couple solid methods for backing up your Mac are:

Here's how to set up and use either backup system.

How to backup your Mac using Time Machine

Time Machine is a built-in backup feature on your Mac. It automatically makes hourly backup versions of your computer that cover the past 24 hours as well as daily and weekly versions to cover the past month and all previous months, respectively.

And everything maintains the look you created — that way, you can look back at your stuff as it was when you set it up, instead of having to recreate it as best as you can remember.

But to create actual backups with Time Machine, you'll need an external storage device, and of course a way of connecting it to your computer — whether that's a physical cord connecting to an external hard drive or using an AirPort Time Capsule.

Here's how to backup with Time Machine and an external storage device:

1. Connect the device; once your computer recognizes that you've done so, a popup window may appear asking if you want to use it with Time Machine.

2. You can choose to encrypt your backup disk or not by ticking or unticking the box (it is recommended to encrypt), then click "Use as backup disk."

If your Mac doesn't ask you to use Time Machine, follow the directions below:

1. Click the Time Machine symbol in your top toolbar (it looks like a curving arrow pointing backward, surrounding a clock face) and click "Open Time Machine Preferences..."

Open your Time Machine preferences. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

2. Click "Select Backup Disk" (it may also say "Select Disk," or "Add or Remove Backup Disk").

3. Click on your external drive and click "Use Disk."

If your drive isn't properly formatted for Time Machine, you'll be asked to erase everything from it so it can be set up in a compatible way.

After you've selected your backup method and set up Time Machine on your Mac, it will automatically begin making those periodic copies of your Mac, mentioned above. Keep in mind that the first sync may take a long time, depending on how many files you have.

You can also opt to create a backup manually by going back up to the Time Machine icon in the top toolbar and selecting "Back up now."

How to backup your Mac using iCloud

Another option for backing up your Mac is using iCloud to store your data and documents. To get started, you'll need to set it up:

1. Make sure your Mac is fully updated by going to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen and clicking "App Store" — you may need to login using your Apple ID — then click "Updates" in the left sidebar.

Click the "Updates" tab. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

2. Go back up to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen and select "System Preferences" then "iCloud."

3. Log in using your Apple ID and agree the terms and conditions.

Log into your iCloud account. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

4. Choose whether or not to use iCloud for: your documents and data; the use of Find My Mac.

Check off whichever options you want. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

After completing the process outlined above, you'll be able to see which apps you can include or exclude from your iCloud account, as well as how much storage data your information currently takes up, out of 5 free GB. If necessary, you may choose to upgrade to a larger iCloud account — for a range of monthly fees.

Specify which info you want to be uploaded to iCloud. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

From there on, the information you dictate will be automatically updated as your documents change and grow. And your stored data can then be accessed from any other device, so long as you use the same Apple ID.

These days, it's nearly impossible to get into a car and disconnect from the internet. New vehicles typically have some sort of smartphone interface (Apple CarPlay or Android Auto) or enable a certain degree of smartphone integration with a car's infotainment system.

Even if all that's lacking, you can still remain connected via your phone.

That's just the reality of driving a car in 2019. However, back in the early 2000s, it was still possible to find new and used cars that were pretty much no-tech. It was particularly easy on the used front, as the mid-to-late 1990s were the period just before infotainment tech started to take off, first with GPS navigation and later with more elaborate systems.

I owned several vehicles from the 1990s — a 1992 Mazda 323 and a 1993 Mazda Miata, as well as a 1998 Saab 900S — and a few cars from the 2000s, including a 2000 Volvo V40. I even had a Volvo 240 from 1987. Prior to all that, I drove a 1989 Honda Accord and a 1983 Buick Regal. Even my 2007 Honda Odyssey was fairly barebones — it was a base model with just a radio and CD player.

If it sounds like torture to lack all 21st tech in a vehicle ... well, it actually wasn't. But obviously, if you were to buy a pre-tech car today, it would take some getting used to. Here's why:

Sometimes you want a little something extra when it comes to the look of the things you write within any given app on your Mac computer. Installing a new font can do the trick, and it's a relatively simple process.

Your Mac's fonts are all housed in the Font Book, which you can find in your Applications folder. You can either add a font directly into it (in addition to deleting or disabling unwanted fonts), or you can use a site like Da Font to download one of their free fonts into your collection.

Here's how to install a new font onto your Mac using either method:

Installing new fonts on your Mac using Font Book

Before you install any fonts, you need to download them. Some are already available for downloading within the Font Book app. You can download other font files from websites like Da Font (which we talk about more below), FontSquirrel, and more.

Once you've downloaded a font file:

1. Double click a font you've downloaded in your Finder — this will prompt a new preview window to open.

2. Click "Install font."

Your Mac will then validate the font, and if successful, it will be installed to your Font Book. Then you'll be able to use that font with any of your apps.

If you want to go back and check which fonts you have access to, or make them available to other user accounts on your computer, you'll need to go back into the Font Book. You can get there via your launchpad, which is located in the apps bar at the bottom of your screen.

From there, you can access your Font Book Preferences to allow another user access to any newly downloaded fonts.

Installing new fonts on your Mac using Da Font

Da Font is a popular, free font database. For those with Mac OS X 10.3 or above, installation is easy:

1. Go to DaFont.com.

2. Browse or search for your preferred font.

3. Double click "Download" to get the font file — this will prompt a zip drive to download, double click to open it.

Click any "Download" button to receive its respective font file. Devon Delfino/Business Insider

4. Double click on the new folder in your downloads and double click on the font name — another pop up window will appear with a preview of the font.

Open the font file and click "Install Font." Devon Delfino/Business Insider

The Chinese electronics giant Huawei has surpassed Apple to become the No. 2 smartphone vendor worldwide, according to statistics from the International Data Corp. (IDC).

The milestone comes as smartphone sales are declining globally and Huawei faces ongoing scrutiny regarding the security of its devices and accusations of fraud.

Huawei was the only smartphone maker in the top three that saw an increase in shipments in the first quarter of 2019. The company saw year-over-year growth of 50.3% in the first quarter and claimed 19% of the worldwide market share, IDC reported.

That puts the company in a strong position to eventually overtake Samsung as the top smartphone vendor and places it ahead of Apple. Smartphone shipments dropped by 30.2% for Apple in the first quarter of 2019 compared with the same period one year ago, IDC reported.

Apple holds 11.7% of the worldwide market share as of the first quarter of 2019, while Huawei now claims 19%. That represents a significant change from the first quarter of 2018, when Apple accounted for 15.7% of the worldwide smartphone market share and Huawei claimed just 11.8%.

Samsung saw its volumes drop by 8.1% in the first quarter of 2019, although it still holds the top spot with 23.1% of the global smartphone market.

Huawei soars as rivals struggle

Apple and Samsung aren't the only major companies experiencing the repercussions of a slowing smartphone market. Google said in its recent earnings report that sales of its Pixel smartphone are falling, and LG's mobile division recently reported first quarter sales of $1.34 billion, down from $2.01 billion in the same quarter last year.

Huawei in March posted record financial results for 2018, with its revenue surpassing $100 billion for the first time, representing a $19.5% year-over-year increase. Its consumer business, which includes smartphones, grew by 45.1% year-on-year in 2018.

Part of Huawei's success can be attributed to its wide-ranging product portfolio, which includes both high-end phones, such as its Mate and P lines, and lower-end devices under its Honor offshoot brand. The company's premium models also created a strong brand affiliation for these cheaper products, IDC said.

Apple, meanwhile, struggled to keep up with rivals despite its trade-in programs and price cuts in China, particularly as competitors are readying new models with 5G connectivity and foldable designs, IDC said.

But market share and smartphone sales aren't the only metrics by which to measure success. Although Huawei claims more of the worldwide smartphone market than Apple, the iPhone maker generated about $266 billion in annual revenue in its 2018 fiscal year, which is more than double Huawei's 2018 revenue.

Apple is now shifting its strategy to focus on other product areas, such as services, to offset slowing iPhone sales. Revenue from its services division hit an all-time high of $11.5 billion, the company said in its recent earnings report, and it plans to release a new paid TV service and a gaming service to further boost that product segment.

Huawei's ongoing controversies

Still, Huawei's business is booming, even as it faces more scrutiny than ever before around the globe.

Earlier this year, US government officials appeared at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona to lobby its European allies not to use Huawei's equipment in their networks. The move came as a result of the ongoing suspicions about whether the company's technologies provide a backdoor for the Chinese government.

Huawei has denied these claims, both in its press conference at Mobile World Congress and more recently in its earnings statement.

"The easiest way to bring down a fortress is to attack it from within," Guo Ping, Huawei's rotating chairman, wrote in the press release. "And the easiest way to reinforce it is from outside. Moving forward, we will do everything we can to shake off outside distractions, improve management, and make progress toward our strategic goals."

The Chinese tech behemoth was also indicted on charges related to fraud and trade-secrets conspiracy earlier this year, to which it pleaded not guilty.

Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer, is also awaiting extradition to the US in connection with fraud charges. The Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver has set a date of May 8 for her hearing.

Smartphone sales slow as prices increase

Huawei's success comes amid a global decline in the smartphone market.

IDC reported that smartphone sales in the first quarter of 2019 were down by 6.6% year-over-year, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of decline. The first year shipments didn't grow was 2017, the former Kleiner Perkins partner May Meeker said in her Internet Trends report in 2018.

Smartphone sales boomed between 2011 and 2016, with 2013 proving to be a landmark year as sales of smartphones surpassed feature phones for the first time. But while smartphone adoption has grown, consumers have stopped upgrading their phones as often, especially as smartphones have become increasingly expensive.

Apple's top-of-the-line iPhone XS Max starts at $1,099, while its smaller iPhone XS starts at $999, and the least expensive latest-generation iPhone, the iPhone XR, starts at $750. In 2016, the company's flagship iPhone 7 was priced at $649.

Samsung has followed a similar trajectory. The company announced four versions of its flagship Galaxy S10 in February, which range in price from $750 to $1,300, while the Galaxy S7 from 2016 started at $669.99.

New smartphone models in recent years have introduced incremental upgrades, making it difficult to convince consumers to pay $1,000 to upgrade to the latest version.

Apple is expected to release three iPhones in September, which will reportedly feature new capabilities, such as reverse wireless charging and a triple-lens camera for the high-end model.

But Ryan Reith from IDC believes that Huawei is likely to keep its second-place spot this year. "This new ranking of Samsung, Huawei, and Apple is very likely what we'll see when 2019 is all said and done," he wrote.

Astronomers on Thursday published a remarkable new picture of the deep universe. The image, shown in full at the end of this post, contains perhaps 265,000 visible galaxies crammed into a region smaller than the moon's apparent size in the sky.

The picture is actually made of 7,500 photos taken over 16 years by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is operated by NASA and the European Space Agency. If Hubble had taken the images in one back-to-back observation, it would have lasted 250 days.

"No image will surpass this one until future space telescopes like James Webb are launched," Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California at Santa Cruz, said in a press release.

The new picture is part of an ongoing project known as the Hubble Legacy Field. The idea is to focus Hubble's limited time yet incredible resolving power on a small area of the night sky, year after year, and build the deepest and most complete image of space. That small survey will then be applied to the larger universe to improve astronomers' understanding of it across both space and time.

The project got its start in 1995 when the telescope snapped its first and famous Hubble Deep Field image. For that photo, Hubble targeted one of the darkest patches of the night sky and observed it over 10 days, taking more than 340 photos of the spot. Scientists combined the images into a picture that revealed the glow of several hundred never-before-seen galaxies, stretching our understanding of the universe's scale and history.

Since then, astronauts have flown out to Hubble several times to make repairs, upgrade cameras, and install new hardware, improving the observatory's view of deep space.

Astronomers have exploited those improvements to not only enhance the original Deep Field image but build out the view of space around it.

"Now that we have gone wider than in previous surveys, we are harvesting many more distant galaxies in the largest such dataset ever produced," Illingworth said.

The colors in the photo span from just beyond the edges of human vision — from ultraviolet to near-infrared light — and contain galaxies 10 billion times fainter than our naked eyes can detect.

This effectively offers a deeper view into the past than ever before: a look at galaxies as they existed 13.3 billion years ago. That's how long it has taken their light to reach Hubble's sensors and shows a time about 500 million years after the birth of the universe.

Before Hubble, the best telescopes could see light from objects only about 7 billion light-years away.

Below, you can explore the full-size Hubble image.

Printed at photo-quality resolution, it'd stretch more than 7 feet (2.16 meters) per side.

Drag on the picture to pan around, and enlarge any part by using the +/- buttons, pinching on a phone, or using a scroll feature on a computer.

"Hubble has spent more time on this small area than on any other region of the sky," the press release said.

Researchers will continue adding to and improving the picture with new Hubble observations as long as the telescope is operational. (When Hubble shuts down, NASA may try to plunge it into a "spacecraft graveyard" in the Pacific Ocean.)

But once the superpowerful James Webb Space Telescope launches and enormous new ground observatories open, our view of this patch of the night sky — and knowledge about the farthest reaches of space and time — will only improve.

BEVERLY HILLS — Beside the pool at the Beverly Hilton sits a row of private cabanas where the deep-pocketed sponsors of the Milken Institute Global Conference held prime meeting spaces and the occasional catered meal.

On Tuesday afternoon, Steve Cohen, the hedge fund manager whose net worth Forbes pegs at $12 billion, sat beneath the awning rented by his firm Point72, leading a discussion with 10 or so men. Many of them followed the unstated conference dress code of a white shirt and blue suit.

A spokeswoman for Point72 said it was an "impromptu gathering" with a group of hungry college students who they had offered lunch to. "It was simply a friendly gesture," she said.

Around the same time, on the other side of the hotel, a couple dozen women and a sprinkling of men gathered in a small conference room for a panel on closing the gender growth gap and the under-capitalization of female led companies. There was a problem with the air conditioning, leaving attendees freezing.

"Just have a look around this room," said Megan McDonald, global head of investment banking and debt capital markets at Standard Bank Group.

"The vast majority of people in this room, attending these sessions, are women," she said. "This for me is at the heart of the problem, for why we're not making real progress as we've all spoken about. Men have to be part of this conversation."

Better than before

The Milken programming kicked off Monday under the theme "driving shared prosperity." The first session was an interview between Wall Street Journal editor Gerard Baker and Christine Lagarde, the managing director and chairwoman of the International Monetary Fund, who Baker described as the "queen of the economy."

Lagarde spoke mostly about the global debt crisis but in the final minute she said that capitalism will face continuous threats as long as there is inequality, in terms of gender and otherwise.

"It's one thing to flag it and to say, well, this is part of us and this is a problem and we have to own it. Second is, what do we do about it? And how do we address the issue of inequality and inclusion?" Lagarde said, before dismissing the topic altogether.

"We will not be talking about that in 20 years time when the planet is completely gone. So I think the environment is far more important than any of that," she concluded.

Keynote speakers such as Lagarde, and Trump administration representatives Ivanka Trump and Elaine Cho, led Politico to declare before the end of Day 1 that "Women dominate at Milken."

There was as the Equality Lounge, an outdoor patio space sponsored by Citi and the Female Quotient, with an elevated stage that held the occasional gender and diversity-themed programming. At a table in the corner were jars of candy and chocolate covered pretzels with a sign indicating that a bag of treats would cost men $1.00, while women would pay just $0.80 — a reference to the median gender pay gap in the US.

Still, Milken was overwhelmingly male.

Though the numbers aren't final, roughly 30% of the conference's 800 speakers and 4,000 attendees were women, a spokesman told Business Insider. According to the World Bank, 50.5% of the US is female.

A count of Monday's speakers alone shows that Milken, like many conferences across industries, hasn't fully rid itself of the so-called "manel." There were 21 sessions with zero female speakers, including the moderator, according a tally of the conference agenda.

There were 25 sessions with just one female speaker, 23 panels had two or more women speaking, and eight sessions that were majority women. Many of these sessions had six people on stage.

The marketing is there, but the money often isn't

Katie O'Reilly, an executive director at Milken and the gender growth gap panel moderator, said the conference has made a lot of progress since its first diversity panel around a decade ago, when there were just a handful of women at a single 6:30 a.m. session.

"Fast forward and we have probably 15 to 20 different sessions that are pretty well attended, so no question the momentum is moving in that direction," O'Reilly said. "I often find myself moderating sessions where everybody is happy to agree that the data says one thing — there's no question [gender diversity] impacts returns in a positive way and it impacts management and the companies perform better. So then why are we where we are?"

David Warren, the CEO of DW Partners and one of two men — and Davids— on the panel, had an answer.

Since arriving at the conference, five or six men had confided in him that they refuse to spend alone time with their female employees or colleagues in the post #MeToo era. Despite what gets said in public, Warren said, some men still openly discuss excluding women in private conversations.

"The statement is, 'I will not be alone ever.' It doesn't matter if it's at a ballgame. Lunch. Brunch. Drinks," said Warren, who dismissed such men as misguided.

There's also a disconnect between public facing diversity initatives at many investment firms and how money gets spent at those organizations, according to attendees.

Draper, whose venture firm has invested in 50 startups, said she saw 5,000 deals last year, all which had at least one female founder. Her struggle, she said, is getting support from limited partners — the people and institutions who invest their money in her fund.

"It is really difficult as a fund manager to raise for a female focused fund," Draper said. "I walked into this pension fund somewhere in the middle of the country and they literally spat up their coffee at me when they saw the first page of my deck where I said it's actually a great business opportunity to invest in women."

Mina Pacheco Nazemi, managing director at the investment managing firm Barings, said she tries to institutionalize practices that encourage clients to invest in companies with strong gender diversity practices. But she's not convinced that every investment fund sincerely cares about gender equality.

"People use it as a marketing tool. They use it as a way to let their clients know that they care. But at the end of the day, when you look at where they're invested in and where they put their money, it's not a reflection of what they say their mission and their values are," Pacheco Nazemi said. "I don't think that the market is actually there."
