1. Here's everything Google announced today at the I/O 2019 Keynote

Google's developer conference is still underway, but we've rounded up everything they announced at their big keynote, like more affordable versions of its Pixel 3 phones — the Pixel 3a will start at $399, and come with a 5.6-inch display.

Meanwhile, the Google Home Hub has been rebranded as the Nest Hub, with a price cut and a new, bigger brother.

Bird One will cost $1,299 and come in three colors. People can pre-order the scooter now and receive it this summer.

3. Tencent replaces hit mobile game PUBG with a Chinese government-friendly alternative

China's new rules on video games, introduced last month, are having an effect on the country's gamers. Tencent introduced "Game for Peace" at the same time as PUBG was delisted from China.

4. HeyJobs, a 'talent acquisition' platform out of Berlin, raises $12M Series A

6. Sumo Logic announces $110M Series G investment on valuation over $1B

7. Amazon upgrades its Blink outdoor security camera with better battery, two-way talk

At $90, it's 25% less than the original model — which was already a decent price point, as far as outdoor cameras go.
