Tech startups have found all kinds of ways to lend money to those hampered by either too little or not very good credit.

Google Pixel's product directors on single cameras and notches
Oct 09, 10:15PM
Google hardware launches are never spec-fests. The search giant would rather just sit on the sideline while companies like Apple and Samsung battle it out on that front. In fact, numbers like screen resolution, processor speed and battery capacity were conspicuously absent from today's presentation. Instead, the company seems more content to have hardware serve […]

Oct 09, 9:05PM
Google unveiled a new lineup of devices today, including the Pixel Slate, a tablet that the company described as the next evolution of Chrome OS — but could also be seen as the company’s answer to both Apple’s iPad and Microsoft’s Surface. After the presentation, I had a chance to try the Pixel Slate for […]

Enterprise Dropbox users have a useful new feature that some would say is long overdue for the cloud storage company: optical character recognition that automatically transcribes all their images and PDFs. No more rummaging around in your saved photos for a receipt or opening dozens of mysteriously named documents to find the right one. Just search and ye shall find.

Oct 09, 8:34PM
Behold, the Google Home Mickey. It's an official collaboration with Google and Disney that OtterBox is selling for $20.

Called “deadbeat foot placement hopping control,” the Salto can now watch a surface […]

Workplace by Facebook launches Safety Check for business users
Oct 09, 6:30PM
Workplace, Facebook’s communications platform for enterprises, is launching its own version of Safety Check today. Safety Check itself is obviously not a new feature.

Google Home Hub up close and hands on
Oct 09, 6:28PM
While the rumors and leaks didn’t leave much to the imagination ahead of today’s event, I will admit to being a bit surprised by the shape Google’s Home Hub actually took. The renders didn’t do justice to the actual product. For starters, the seven inch screen splits the difference between the Echo Show and Spot […]
