Oct 07, 7:03PM

Gather round. The EU has a plan for a big update to privacy laws that could have a major impact on current Internet business models. Um, I thought Europe just got some new privacy rules? They did. You’re thinking of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which updated the European Union’s 1995 Data Protection Directive […]


Elon Musk deserves tougher love from the SEC

Oct 07, 5:05PM

Four Elon Musk tweets. One Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit. Two settlement offers. Then some more Musk tweets taunting the SEC. While Tesla continues to prove its doubters wrong as an automotive and energy business, the ongoing social media sideshow hangs over its finances. The stock rose to $310.70 per share on Monday, after Musk […]

Homeland Security has said it has “no reason to doubt” statements by Apple, Amazon and Supermicro denying allegations made in a Bloomberg report published earlier this week.

The next big restaurant chain may not own any kitchens

Oct 07, 1:30PM

If investors at some of the biggest technology companies are right, the next big restaurant chain could have no kitchens of its own. These venture capitalists think the same forces that have transformed transportation, media, retail and logistics will also work their way through prepared food businesses. The Battle Is For The Customer Interface Investors […]


I'm very sorry, but you're going to have to learn to love the blockchain

Oct 07, 1:00PM

I apologize. I get it. You hear “blockchain” and you immediately think “shady get-rich-quick schemes” or “bubble of magical fake Internet money” or “libertarian enfants terribles,” and when a true believer tries to explain to you why you should care, why it will change the world beyond just minting a new set of paper oligarchs, […]


Marshall's Kilburn II is a ruggedly handsome Bluetooth speaker

Oct 06, 9:57PM

Marshall hasn't been been shy about capitalizing on its legacy. The legendary English amplifier company has plastered its name on cans of beer and a line of refrigerators. It's not the most crass branding we've seen, but it’s pretty damn silly. At first glance, the same can be said for its line of bluetooth speakers […]

Just as the Pixel 3 got the full hands-on treatment in Hong Kong, a new contender has emerged. Like a number of recent leaks, these new renders of the Pixel Slate come courtesy […]


Banksy piece immediately shreds itself after being sold for $1.1M

Oct 06, 5:48PM

In what might be the most ridiculous stunt ever pulled in the art world, a Banksy piece has, in a sense, self-destructed. Right in front of an audience of would-be buyers. A framed canvas version of Banksy’s Girl with Balloon was set to be auctioned at Sothebys in London. As the auction came to a […]


What to expect from Google's Pixel 3 event

Oct 06, 3:53PM

Apple, Amazon and Microsoft have already held their big fall events — and now it's Google's turn. Over the past couple of years, the October event has become an increasingly important platform, as the company continues to press into various hardware categories. And really, it's Google's last chance to make a big splash ahead of […]

Amazon Echo Dot 3 review

Oct 05, 10:10PM

Amazon has sold a lot of Echo Dots. Like a crazy, silly, unfathomable number of the things. Over the past two generations, it has arguably become the single-largest driver of the smart speaker craze. There's nothing exceptional about the product, of course. It's a simply designed hockey puck of a product, designed to mostly stay […]

Oct 05, 10:07PM

After a few months of hype, version 9.0 of the software that runs on Teslas is rolling out starting today. There’s a bit of a catch, though: one of the bigger expected features — one that would let Tesla’s autopilot handle passing cars and automatically make highway interchanges — is being delayed for now. So […]
