Editor's Pick: Android Creator Launches a Phone of His Own


John P. Mello Jr.
May 31, 2017 9:31 AM PT
Essential, a company founded by Andy Rubin, the "father of Android," on Tuesday pulled off the wraps on a new high-end smartphone. The Essential Phone, priced at $699, includes radios for connecting to all major U.S. carriers. The unit has an almost edge-to-edge display -- there's a bit of bezel at the bottom of its screen -- that wraps around the 8-MP selfie camera at the front. [More...]

More Picks:
Building a Sales Team by the Numbers
I don't know why more subscription vendors don't do this. Subscription companies collect mountains of data from their customers, and analyzing the aggregations can deliver profound insights virtually for free. Yet too often subscribers are reluctant to let their data be stripped of identifying characteristics and used for research. Too bad, because there's gold in that big data. [More...]
Amazon Shares Hit Milestone as E-Commerce Battle Heats Up
Amazon stock surged to more than $1,000 for the first time in early trading on Tuesday, marking a milestone for the dominant e-commerce retailer and leaving its closest competitors still trying to figure out a path to closing the gap. Amazon's shares hovered near $997 in late mid-afternoon trading after reaching $1001.20 earlier in the day, an all-time-high for the stock. [More...]

Net neutrality's origin story. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
WEDNESDAY, MAY 31 2017 By Darrell Etherington

How net neutrality began, Uber offloads its Otto problems and carpools, karaoke and otherwise, are expanding. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for May 31, 2017.

1. The FCC's net neutrality origin story

Sink your teeth into this weighty account of how the Federal Communications Commission came to create net neutrality, and why, as it's more at risk than ever before. It's a harrowing tale, and one with a happy ending – because it ends in 2016.

Devin's look at the history of net neutrality helps reframe why it's important, beyond as a talking point for left-leaning media types.

2. Uber finally cans Otto founder

Uber has had enough of Anthony Levandowski, the former Otto co-founder and onetime leader of its self-driving vehicle engineering team. The ride-hailing company fired Levandowski on Tuesday, noting that he'd been warned he should comply with ongoing court requests to disclose any evidence of theft of Waymo's self-driving tech secrets. The question now will be whether Levandowski also eventually faces criminal charges, too.

3. Waze broadens its Carpool offering

Meanwhile, carpooling as a category could be a more challenging proposition for Uber and others looking to make it a profitable venture, since Waze continues to grow its own, much more cost-effective carpooling service. Waze Carpool, which is more about genuinely connecting riders and passengers who happen to be going in the same direction, is opening up to all of California on June 6.

4. Nest's new home security camera is smarter and sharper

Do you like your smart cameras... smart? Then the Nest Cam IQ may be for you. It's Nest's new top of the line home security camera offering, and it has a 4K sensor on board that it uses to zoom and enhance when it spots bad folks prowling about your place. Onboard intelligence means it tracks faces in real-time, too, which is handy for busting baddies.

5. Apple Music's Carpool Karaoke show is out August 8

I still don't know what to think about this. I think it'll be bad, but I also really dislike James Corden so who knows. Still a weird direction. Apple is going Extremely Dad in most directions, however.

6. Amazon ends its home shopping show

Live Amazon shopping via TV is over now, and that's probably for the best. The QVC style show is cancelled, but Amazon's broader TV ambitions remain as strong as ever.

7. Intel's pocket PC is going to be a real thing

When this came out at CES it looked like a neat piece of hardware vaporware, but at Computex Intel announced hardware details and a long list of partners. Let's hope this becomes a shipping reality, with a rich ecosystem, because it's a cool concept.

Editor's Pick: A Better World President MarySue Hansell: Getting Real With a Virtual Do-Good Game


Vivian Wagner
May 30, 2017 11:10 AM PT
"We saw that there was a lack of kindness, a lack of empathy ... and we thought it would be nice if we could use technology to do something about it," said MarySue Hansell, president of A Better World. "We thought Facebook offered a wonderful opportunity to use a large technical platform to create a virtual world that would have a big impact, with a game that emphasizes positive thinking."

Will Future Autonomous Cars Fly Like Birds or Tunnel Like Moles?
It is kind of amazing how much advancement is going on in the autonomous car space. A year ago, we were mostly talking about cars that seemed comparatively boring, because they just drove on the surface. How quaint -- how 2016. Now when we mention "boring," we may be talking about Elon Musk's new underground tunneling idea. However, a little company called "Airbus" disagrees. [More...]

SC Ruling Signals New Era for Software Patent Enforcement
The U.S. Supreme Court once again has changed the landscape for software infringement litigation. In a decision released last week, the court severely undercut the ability of plaintiffs to seek out courts that have a track record of being "friendly" to the plaintiff's position -- a practice called "forum shopping." Legal analysts disagree on the impact of the decision, however. [More...]

Android creator back with 'Essential' new smarpthone. It's The Daily Crunch

THE DAILY CRUNCH
TUESDAY, MAY 30 2017 By Darrell Etherington

Is the Essential phone actually essential, or is it Extraneous? The answer to that and more in The Daily Crunch for May 30, 2017.

1. Android creator's new Android phone is a stunner, but...

Andy Rubin, who helped create Android originally prior to its acquisition by Google, is back in the mobile business. Rubin's Essential phone made its official debut today, and it looks like a pretty good expensive piece of glass and metal.

Expensive is the key word here: Rubin and co. will be selling the thing for $699 as a starting price, which is right up there with the Pixel, Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7. That's a mighty big ask for the average consumer, who doesn't know or care about Rubin's pioneering role in the modern mobile ecosystem. I'm just gonna say it: This isn't going to work, unless Essential gets acquired by Google or someone and brought in-house to work on hardware.

2. Intel's new high-end desktop CPUs are for power players

Intel debuted its Core i9 X-Series processors at Computex this year, giving hardcore gear heads and graphics pros something to water at the mouth about with 18-core, 36-thread "extreme" processing power.

3. Twitter and the BBC to team up on live video

Twitter continues to lock down new live video partners, and the latest is the BBC, which will be supplying breaking news and live video commentary content around the upcoming UK election. Twitter wants to be the destination for online live video, and inserting itself into major world news events should help.

4. Kitty Hawk's flying personal vehicle looks hella fun

I definitely wanted one of Kitty Hawk's Flyers when it first debuted, but I want one more now that they've released this behind-the-scenes look at how their first test pilots felt about learning to ride one of the aerial motorbikes.

5. Vive's Deluxe Audio Strap shows how VR can get better mid-cycle

Deluxe audio might not seem like a huge deal as a VR add-on, but sound is crucial to immersion and this really does make the Vive experience much better according to Lucas. I'll probably get one even though I barely use VR anymore, because I'm a sucker for ergonomics upgrades.

6. Report on Uber's workplace culture could land tomorrow

The investigation by former attorney general Eric Holder into Uber's workplace culture, and former employee Susan Fowler's allegations of harassment and unfair treatment could produce a report as early as Wednesday. Holder's report will be made to the board, but board member Arianna Huffington has said the results will be shared publicly, too.

7. Cities are on a path to improvement

Can cities be fixed? Eric Eldon, former TC editor, says 'yes,' and it's already happening thanks to improvements in local journalism and technology. Still, there's work to be done.
