Today's Story Highlights

Apple Watch Sales Sink
After a glorious first week of sales following its introduction in
April, sales have slid rapidly for the Apple Watch, according to Slice
Intelligence. Sales have plummeted to fewer than 20,000 units a day,
down from an average of 200,000 a day during its launch week, when it
sold 1.5 million units, reported Slice, which measures online purchasing
activity through an app used by consumers.

The Feds' Slow March to the Cloud
Where is the U.S. government going with the cloud? With annual federal
spending on the technology now well over $2 billion, it appears that
cabinet departments and a host of other federal agencies "get it" in
terms of appreciating cloud benefits. Yet many view the same spending
pattern as evidence that the pace of cloud development at the federal
level is far too slow.

Raging Redditors Roar for Pao's Resignation
More than 208,000 people have signed a Change.org petition calling on
Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao to step down. Many Redditers fear Pao will
run Reddit into the ground, the petition claims, noting that alternative
sites have sprung up in recent months and received vast amounts of
traffic. The immediate cause of the unrest was last week's dismissal of
Victoria Taylor, Reddit's director of talent.
