Google's Cloud Platform improves its free tier and adds always-free compute and storage services
Mar 09, 9:56PM
Google quietly launched an improved always-free tier and trial program for its Cloud Platform today. The free tier, which now offers enough power to run a small app in Google’s cloud, is offered in addition to an expanded free trial program (yep – that’s all a bit confusing). This free trial gives you $300 in credits that you can use over the course of twelve… Read MoreAstro raises an $8 million Series A for its AI-powered email solution for teams
Mar 09, 9:53PM
On the surface, Astro, launching its public beta today, is a nifty but not completely necessary email client that combines machine intelligence and a bot interface to improve workflows and increase the signal to noise ratio of mail for power users. But the real story is that the startup, backed with a new $8 million Series A led by Redpoint, is gearing up to pitch enterprises on… Read MoreThe Kairos Society, an organization for young entrepreneurs, has raised its own venture fund

Mar 09, 8:31PM
Snap today took another step on its quest to truly become the “camera company” it says it is. Following the November 21st launch and subsequent February 2oth close of its NYC pop-up shop, it’s now opening a temporary store on the Venice boardwalk near its Los Angeles headquarters. Of course, would-be camera sunglasses buyers don’t have to trek to a physical location… Read MoreGoogle's Compute Engine now offers machines with up to 64 CPU cores, 416GB of RAM
Mar 09, 8:31PM
Google is doubling the maximum number of CPU cores developers can use with a single virtual machine on its Compute Engine service from 32 to 64. These high-power machines are now available in beta across all of Google’s standard configurations and as custom machine types, which allow you to select exactly how many cores and memory you want. If you opt to use 64 cores in… Read MoreTwitter tests a feature that warns users of profiles with 'potentially sensitive content'
Mar 09, 7:52PM
Twitter confirmed it’s testing a new feature that flags users’ profiles as potentially including “sensitive content.” When you click on one of these profiles from a link on Twitter, or if you visit the profile’s web page directly, you won’t be immediately shown the users’ tweets. Instead, a warning message displays, reading “Caution: This… Read MoreAt least Facebook's unfair Instant Articles now let sites show more ads
Mar 09, 7:27PM
Facebook’s Instant Articles were always a bad deal for news outlets. While quick to load so they drove more readers, the hosted-on-Facebook mobile web format sterilized the design of publishers and severely limited how many ads and other business-critical units they could display. Publishers need paying subscribers, event attendees and loyal daily readers, but they traded those for… Read MoreGoogle makes it easier for companies to transfer data to its cloud
Mar 09, 7:19PM
On stage today at Google’s Cloud Next conference, the company announced a series of new tools to assist users with data preparation and integration.

Mar 09, 7:18PM
Mark Zuckerberg is sure to get a ridiculous amount of likes for his latest post. The Facebook founder, now 32, posted this morning on his Facebook profile page he and wife Priscilla Chan are expecting a second daughter. No names have surfaced yet for the baby but this is very good news for the couple as they had some difficulty getting pregnant the first time. Zuckerberg wrote about the… Read MoreNames and definitions of leaked CIA hacking tools
Mar 09, 6:42PM
The WikiLeaks-hosted “Vault7” collection of documents allegedly leaked from within the CIA’s Computer Operations Group is a messy mix of jargon, incomplete info, and broken links. It’s quite difficult to find a basic description of many of the terms used, even using the search function. So for your convenience I’ve gone through the whole pile of docs and listed… Read MoreGoogle's Jamboard will cost $5,000, plus an annual management fee
Mar 09, 6:30PM
Google’s delivering on its promise of keeping its interactive whiteboard under $6,000. Priced at $4,999, the Jamboard is just a hair more expensive than the 55-inch version of Cisco’s Sparkboard and considerably less so than the $8,999 Surface Hub, which was both the first of the trio to be announced and first to market when it started shipping last March. Google’s 55-inch… Read MoreGoogle adds add-on support to Gmail
Mar 09, 6:30PM
Here’s some welcome news for Gmail users: Google is adding support for third-party add-ons that can integrate directly into the service. There are plenty of services that add functionality to Gmail already, of course, but they typically do that through a browser extension. With this new capability, which Google announced at its Cloud Next conference in San Francisco today, users will be… Read MoreGoogle updates Drive with a focus on its business users

Mar 09, 6:30PM
Google today announced it has acquired AppBridge, a company that specializes in helping businesses move their files and data into the Google Cloud platform. Using AppBridge, businesses can move their on-premise data to Google Drive, but the service also offers connectors for moving to Google’s platform data, email and files from Box.net, Microsoft SharePoint, Office 365 and similar services.

The big news is that App Engine now supports any… Read MoreSimplifeye gets $3 million to make wearables part of your doctor's workflow
Mar 09, 6:30PM

Mar 09, 6:30PM

Mar 09, 6:30PM
This is a pivotal week for Google Cloud Platform. As it hosts its annual Google Cloud Next Conference in San Francisco, it will offer the usual lineup of speakers, customer testimonials and product announcements one would expect at this type of event, but the broader and more challenging task is showing the world that it is ready to take on the enterprise.

Mar 09, 6:20PM
Firebase, the mobile app development platform Google acquired in 2014, is getting a major update at the Google Cloud Next conference in San Francisco today.
