Doughbies' cookie crumbles in a cautionary tale of venture scale
Jul 23, 9:06PM

But it was never destined to be capable of delivering the returns required by the VC model that depends on massive successes […]

Google Cloud's partnership network begins paying dividends
Jul 23, 8:44PM
When Google Cloud brought Diane Greene on board at the end of 2015, one of her goals was to expand the division’s partnership network, an approach she found worked quite well when she was running VMware in the early 2000s. It appears to be working at Google too. This week at Google Next, the company’s […]

Netgear home security spin-off Arlo just added another key hardware piece to its growing portfolio of connected devices.

Visitors can either talk to the […]

Now Alexa can adjust your Echo's EQ
Jul 23, 5:43PM
Alexa is finally getting an equalizer feature, letting users adjust EQ settings with commands like "Alexa, decrease the treble." It's a nice feature that I'm honestly a bit surprised the company didn't introduce a while back. After it rolls out over the next couple of days, you'll be able to satisfyingly tell your Echo, "Alexa, […]

Fritz wants to help developers bring machine learning to their mobile apps
Jul 23, 5:00PM
It’s one thing to run machine learning models in the cloud, where you have plenty of resources. On mobile devices, you’re dealing with very finite compute resources, so if you want to run your models directly on the devices, they have to be highly optimized. Add to that that Apple and Google are taking somewhat […]
The death and life of the tech press
Jul 23, 4:32PM
Why do I write about tech? For James Ball, it's because I want to write "soap-bubble light coverage" and "glossy coverage" "to counterbalance the 'serious' news of the day." Ball, a former editor at The Guardian and the author of "Post-Truth: How Bullshit Conquered the World," has a few choice words to say to reporters, […]

Jul 23, 4:31PM
The latest robots out of MIT are small enough to float "indefinitely" in the air. Researchers accomplished the feat by attaching 2D electronics to colloids — tiny particles measuring around one-billionth to one-millionth of a meter. All told, the devices are roughly the size of a human egg cell. What's more, the addition of photodiode […]
