Leveraging IoT to Redefine Your Business

While most businesses are focusing their Internet of Things efforts on
areas that will generate immediate cost-savings and operating
efficiencies, a number of IoT pioneers already are leveraging a new
generation of connected products to fundamentally change their business
models. There is no question that the safest bet in today's IoT
environment is targeting narrowly defined deployments.

Musk Defends Autopilot Safety Record Following Fatal Crash

CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday accused Fortune magazine of incorrectly
reporting Tesla Motors' handling of a fatal accident that involved a
Tesla Model S. The incident took place in May. Musk's online post is the
latest salvo in a war of wars between Fortune and Tesla. Musk accused
Fortune , in essence, of jumping the gun in its reporting of Tesla's
response to the accident.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Brings CRM and ERP Together

In a bid to augment its cloud services business with more flexibility on
pricing and customization, Microsoft has announced the launch of
Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft AppSource, which will integrate its
ERP and CRM solutions. The combined cloud offerings, which will become
available this fall, will allow customers to choose purpose-built apps
for a range of business management processes.

Feds Probe Philanderers' Site Ashley Madison: Report

The United States Federal Trade Commission reportedly has launched an
investigation into philanderers' dating site Ashley Madison. The
company, which suffered a massive data breach last year that resulted in
extortion attempts and ruined lives, as well as class-action lawsuits,
earlier this week announced that it hired a new CEO and a new president
in April.

FBI Director Raps Clinton but Recommends No Criminal Action

Although an FBI investigation concluded that Hillary Clinton's use of a
separate email system during her tenure as Secretary of State may have
violated federal law, Director James B. Comey recommended no criminal
prosecution. Considered in light of the bureau's actions in similar
cases in the past, Comey explained, the facts in the Clinton case do not
warrant the filing of criminal charges.

BlackBerry Lets Go of Its Classic Phone

BlackBerry on Tuesday announced it will cease manufacturing the
BlackBerry Classic. "The Classic has long surpassed the average lifespan
for a smartphone in today's market," noted COO Ralph Pini. "To keep
innovating and advancing our portfolio, we are updating our smartphone
lineup with state-of-the-art devices." BlackBerry intends to continue
supporting its BlackBerry 10 platform, however.

Learning Something CRM-ish From Brexit

This summer has started out to be anything but a somnolent day at the
beach. The Brexit vote for the UK to leave the EU is enough to disturb
your slumber. To be frank, it appears we are at one of those major
historical transition points that might happen a few times in any of our
lives. Without stirring up a hornet's nest, I would like to discuss CRM
in all of this.

Sidewalk Labs: Taking It to the Streets in Columbus

Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs, a sister company of Google, recently began
negotiating a plan to help restructure the public transportation system
in Columbus, Ohio, after the city won the Obama administration's
national competition to ease traffic gridlock issues. Sidewalk Labs will
leverage its cloud-based transportation data to help Columbus implement
a smarter public bus and parking system.

HummingBad Mucks Up Android's Works

More than 85 million Android devices worldwide have been taken over by
the Yingmob, a group of China-based cybercriminals who created the
HummingBad malware, according to Check Point. HummingBad establishes a
persistent rootkit on Android devices, generates fraudulent ad revenue,
and installs additional fraudulent apps. HummingBad reportedly has been
generating revenue of $300,000 a month.

New Apple Health App to Serve as Organ Donation Matchmaker

Apple and Donate Life America have partnered to offer an organ donation
app with the next iOS 10 update. iPhone users will be able to register
for the program with a couple taps of a button. They'll be able to sign
up to make organ, eye or tissue donations, automatically entering their
information in the National Donate Life Registry, which is managed by
Donate Life America.

Blogosphere Chews on Android Nougat

Google last week revealed the official name of its next mobile operating
system: "Android Nougat." The OS previously went only by "Android N,"
and Google invited the blogosphere to fill in the blanks. The choice
sparked some derision, particularly among those who had preferred
"Nutella." "What is nougat anyway?" asked John Jackson, a research VP at
IDC. "It's like the 'nog' in eggnog; it doesn't exactly stand alone."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83668.html

Symantec Scrambles to Fix Flaws After Google Sounds Alarm

Symantec last week confirmed that it had developed fixes for a series of
eight vulnerabilities found in its portfolio of security products for
enterprise and consumer customers, after an outside researcher
identified the problem. A researcher from Google's Project Zero alerted
the company, but there was no evidence of the vulnerability being
exploited in the wild.

What If We've Got Big Data and Analytics All Wrong?

Every once in a while I run into a little company that comes at an
existing market as if the folks already in it are idiots -- and
sometimes they are right. Here's the thing: What often happens is a
company breaks out in a segment, and everyone groups around that
company's ideas and emulates them. Few initially stand up and say, "Wait
a minute -- what if they're wrong?"
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83656.html

Gadget Ogling: Artsy Audio, Stress Detectives, and Wee Violins

I don't think any product range beats speakers for running the design
gamut from gorgeous to ghastly. There are so many to choose from, in all
shapes, sizes and colors, that there's something for everyone -- plus a
few things no one should buy. But what if your sound system were a piece
of art, literally? Case of Bass has created a boombox print that houses
a speaker system in a shadow box.

Google Opens Faster Big Data Pipe Between US and Japan

Google on Wednesday unveiled its latest investment in long-haul undersea
fiber optic cabling. Dubbed the "Faster Cable System," it is the
highest-capacity undersea cable built to date, providing 60-Tbps
bandwidth between the United States and Japan. It is about 10 million
times faster than an average cable modem, Google noted. Google is one of
six members of the Faster Consortium.

Nothing Ghostly About Devialet's Phantom Gold Sound

Devialet, the French company that has built a reputation in the audio
market for high-end wireless speakers, on Tuesday announced its newest
addition: the $3,000 Phantom Gold. The Phantom Gold looks something like
a futuristic Faberge egg, and it's priced like one, too. That said, it
has some ear-pleasing and ear-splitting specs. Devialet has given it a
power boost to 4,500 watts.
