Nov 02, 5:24PM
Some were surprised to see Snap release a second version of its “face-camera” Spectacles gadget, since the original version failed to convert hype into sales.

Samsung's Bixby may finally get more third-party integration soon
Nov 02, 2:37PM
Poor Bixby. We admittedly haven't had a lot of nice things to say about Samsung's smart assistant since launch — but that's not for lack of potential.
