Today's Story Highlights

T-Mobile-Sprint Merger Teeters Between FCC Approval, DoJ Rejection
United States Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai this
week gave the green light to a merger between T-Mobile and Sprint,
currently the third- and fourth-largest mobile carriers respectively.
The nation's top telecom regulator agreed to the $26 billion merger, but
with some conditions -- the most notable being that Sprint would sell
off its Boost Mobile prepaid cellphone brand.

US Post Office to Test-Drive Autonomous Trucks
The U.S. Postal Service has announced a pilot project using self-driving
trucks. It will conduct the two-week experiment in collaboration with
TuSimple, an autonomous driving technology company based in San Diego.
TuSimple's contract with the postal service calls for one of the
company's self-driving trucks to make five round trips hauling USPS
trailers between Dallas and Phoenix.

5G Could Mess With Accuracy of Weather Forecasts
Next-generation 5G mobile communications technology could have a harmful
impact on weather forecasting in the United States, based on expert
testimony presented before a U.S. House committee during a hearing on
the future of weather forecasting. Interference from 5G wireless phones
could reduce the accuracy of weather forecasts by 30 percent, said Neil
Jacobs, Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere at
NOAA.

The Rebirth of the Personal Computer
I went to Lenovo Accelerate last week and feasted my eyes on one of the
most innovative PCs I've ever seen. However, as I absorbed the rest of
Lenovo's announcements, I realized I was looking at just the tip of what
could be a significant coming change in personal computers -- one that
could eclipse every change we have seen so far. Lenovo's "one more
thing" is a coming foldable screen laptop.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Reshaping the Workforce
Shoppers soon might see a lot more robots in Walmart stores -- but not
toy robots or even human assistant gadgets that are available for
purchase. Walmart's new robots will be taking over repeatable,
predictable and manual tasks that up to now have been carried out by
human employees. At Walmart stores, robots will scan shelf inventory and
track boxes as part of its inventory management.
