Today's Story Highlights

Snap Unveils Eye-Popping Camera Spectacles

Snap, the company formerly known as "Snapchat," on Saturday announced
sunglasses that take videos through a built-in camera in the frame.
Snap's Spectacles let users take 10-second videos by tapping a button on
the top left-hand corner of the eyeframe. Users can tap on the record
button to record two more 10-second segments, for videos of up to 30
seconds long in all.

HPE and Apple: The Speed of Image Transformation

HPE and Apple are very different companies this decade, having shifted
their models from a strategic customer/innovation focus to one that's
more tactical -- and tied far more closely to quarterly profit. They are
hardly alone, and this unfortunate trend is not tied to any one industry
or any one country. Firms increasingly are defined not by creative
products but by complaining customers.

Lenovo Courts Devs WIth Moto Z Source Code Release

Lenovo, which owns Motorola, last week released the kernel source code
for the Moto Z Droid smartphone. The move follows this summer's posting
of the Moto Z Droid Moto Mods Development Kit and Moto Mods on Github.
This is the first kernel source code made available for the Moto Z
device family. Its release seems to be another step in Lenovo's attempt
to get devs to build an ecosystem around it.

Gadget Ogling: Driving Partner, Hydration Station, and Flying Grabbers

After a bad experience when I was first behind the wheel as a teenager,
I'm only just now learning to drive, more than a decade later. My
partner and I are going through the school together, and when asked
about our dream vehicles in class, she replied that she'd love a self-
driving RV. Her wish eventually might turn true with a device that
grants vehicles more autonomy.
