Paul Stenhouse: Need a loo break? There's an app for that

Where does your Uber driver go to the bathroom
There almost isn't a type of service that isn't available on-demand in the US.. getting a meal delivered, hanging a picture frame, restocking the booze cabinet, getting a lift somewhere.. but what do the estimated 55 million gig workers do if they're out and about and need to go to the bathroom? Especially in a pandemic when lots of public restrooms are closed? 
Now they can open Wizz. Whizz has been developed "by gig workers for gig workers" to not only help find them a restroom, but a meal too. They can use the app to get access to a nearby restaurant's bathroom and get a discount on a meal for while they're there. A win/win. Because sometimes, even if you're delivering food for a restaurant, they won't let you use their facilities!  It's starting in California, with plans to go national.What recession?! Just listen to these numbers.. 

Alphabet's Q3 revenue was up 14% on last years. YouTube alone bought in $5 billion.  Google made $46 billion in PROFIT last quarter. 
Amazon made $2 billion more in Q3 than it did in Q3 of last year. Net sales reached almost $100 billion. 
Apple's Mac division and its services division are posting record revenues, but total revenues are flat. That quarter doesn't include the usual iPhone bump due to coronavirus production delays

Yahoo has launched its own Yahoo Phone It's in that wonderful Yahoo purple too and comes preloaded with all your favorite Yahoo apps. 
It's basically an Android phone with some Yahoo flair. It's yours for $50, but you'll also need to get a Yahoo Mobile phone plan - that's $40 a month. 
You might ask whyyyyyyyyy!? Well, Yahoo is now owned by Verizon a big US phone company, so it seems they really want to make the most of that IP.
