| Google's big in-house hardware push, Amazon's logistical plans and Facebook tries to squeeze water from its Stories stone. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for October 5, 2017. 1. Google's big day Google unveiled a LOT of hardware yesterday. So much so that its product lineup has changed considerably overnight. The new Pixel phones were just the start. We've got a summary of everything that was announced, and some of the smaller announcements might be more interesting in the long run, including earbuds that can translate in real-time. 
2. Amazon could be replacing UPS and FedEX to some extent Amazon wants to take on more of its own delivery duties, according to a new report. It would still use FedEx and UPS, but it would take over logistics decisions from third-party merchants selling on its platform and do more of what UPS and FedEx do now. 3. Facebook really wants to make Stories happen Facebook tis going to make it possible to cross-post Snapchat, er I mean Instagram Stories to its own Stories platform. That's lame Facebook, a lame way to juice engagement for a feature that has none. 4. Boeing is buying an autonomous aircraft company Boeing is betting on self-flying aircraft technology, with plans to acquire Aurora Flight Sciences, which makes autonomous airplanes for clients including U.S. defence agencies. 5. Here's how Google's Clips camera works Google wants to sell people cameras that take pictures all the time, passively and automatically. But it's not an always-connected camera, so that's cool, I guess. Anyways there's some neat tech at work here. 6. The Pixelbook is the first mainstream notebook from Google? It seems like it could be, since it's a great device based on my free minutes trying it out. The pen latency in particular is amazing. But it's also $999, to start, which is a lot for a laptop that basically just runs Chrome. 7. Apple acquired a startup to help beef up Siri's smarts At this point, it's impossible to deny that Apple is behind when it comes to AI and virtual assistant capabilities. Amazon and Google continue to build out their capabilities, and Apple seems to be... doing other stuff. But it acquired the team behind a smart messaging assistant that could help. |
