Read MoreFCC fills vacant seats as Jessica Rosenworcel and Brendan Carr are confirmed by Senate

Read MoreGoogle reportedly offered $30 billion to acquire Snapchat
Aug 03, 8:18PM
Nerdy Google has failed at social time and time again, so it considered buying teen sensation Snapchat. According to reports, the search giant held informal talks with Snap and floated an offer of $30 billion in 2016 before Snap’s last funding round, and just before its IPO this year.

Aug 03, 7:18PM

Cadillac’s Super Cruise system was driving. The 2018 Cadillac CT6 sped along US-23 under the direction of Super Cruise. Traffic was light and the weather was perfect. The system held the… Read More>From barter to blockchain: A history of money

Read MoreEdge computing could push the cloud to the fringe
Aug 03, 5:22PM
Peter Levine has an interesting working theory. He believes cloud computing is going to take a back seat to edge computing — and we will soon see the majority of processing taking place at the device level. Levine says it’s based on sound analysis of where he sees computing going — and his job as an investor is to recognize where the industry is heading before it happens.
