Editor's Pick: Samsung's Note8 Is Its Biggest Galaxy Phone Yet
| Peter Suciu Aug 24, 2017 12:39 PM PT | |
 | Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note8 smartphone, positioning the oversized handset as the ideal choice for those who want to do bigger things. The new Android-powered device's larger Infinity Display features nearly bezel-less full-frontal glass and an edge-to-edge screen. The Note8 comes with an improved S Pen that will allow users to communicate in what the company called more "personal ways." [More...] |

Samsung's Note8 Is Its Biggest Galaxy Phone Yet
Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note8 smartphone, positioning the oversized handset as the ideal choice for those who want to do bigger
things. The new Android-powered device's larger Infinity Display
features nearly bezel-less full-frontal glass and an edge-to-edge

Google May Have Pixel Chromebook Showcase, Tiny Home in the Works
Google appears to be planning a Pixel-branded Chromebook and a downsized version of its Home smart speaker, following in the steps of Microsoft
and Amazon respectively. Along with two expected new Pixel phones,
Google this fall will unveil a Pixel-branded Chromebook and smaller,
lower-priced version of its Home smart speaker, according to a report.

Kolab Now Is a Smooth On-Ramp for LibreOffice Online
As cloud popularity grows, so does the collection of free or low-cost online office tools that services like Microsoft Office Online and
Google Docs/G Suite provide. However, those two major league offerings,
along with a swarm of other cloud-based productivity platforms, are
proprietary. Until now, online open source office suites have been
little more than vaporware.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84754.html
The Smart Home Appliance and You
The recent rumor that iRobot had engaged in talks with Apple, Amazon and Google parent Alphabet to sell the data its Roomba vacuum cleaner
gathers caused widespread privacy concerns. Roomba maps homes -- the
spatial dimensions of rooms and distances between furniture and other
objects -- and the data it collects would be valuable to any of the
major players battling to control the smart home.

Google Touts Android Oreo's Tasty New Features
Google has pulled the wraps off the latest version of its Android mobile OS. Version 8.0 Oreo has a number of improvements over 7.1 Nougat, the
previous release of the OS. Google has tweaked Android's notification
feature, for instance, so when an app has notifications pending, a dot
appears in a corner of the program's icon. Press the dot and a window
will pop up showing the notifications.

What Tech Companies Are Doing Wrong With Extremists
It is starting to worry me how little the responses by tech firms will do to fix the problem of extreme views instead of just driving them
underground. This is largely due to the excessive focus firms now have
on how they are run. Companies tend to be run tactically, with officials
more likely to make decisions that will seem to make a problem go away
but do not deal with the cause of the problem.

Heading in the Right (Re)Direction
If you've taken the time to get the hang of terminal basics, you're probably at the point where you want to start putting together what
you've learned. Sometimes issuing commands one at a time is enough, but
there are cases when it can be tedious to enter command after command
just to perform a simple task. This is where the extra symbols on your
keyboard come in.

Today's Story Highlights
Ad Tech's Future Beyond Facebook and Google
Advertising technology, or ad tech, is a relatively new business segment. Both Google and Facebook have been very successful with this
new advertising model. Going forward, will ad tech be important and
rapidly expand to a wider segment, or will it be limited to the way
certain companies show value and grow? Advertising has gone through wave
after wave of change over the decades.

Walmart, Google Enter Voice-Shopping Fray
Walmart and Google, two of Amazon's biggest rivals, on Wednesday announced a partnership that will let customers use Google's Home
speaker and a number of voice-assisted mobile devices to shop online at
Walmart. Their mutual goal is to eat away at Amazon's dominant share in
the e-commerce shopping space and the smart speaker space, in order to
curb the growth of its giant ecosystem.

Zyme CCO Ted Dimbero: Connecting the Channel Data Dots
"Channel data management is about providing high-tech companies with all the data and information they need to effectively manage their
distribution channels, sales and marketing," said Zyme CCO Ted Dimbero.
"Traditionally, companies have relied on managing the channel fairly
blindly. They may get monthly data, but a lot of the data is incomplete
or too late to make important decisions."

Tech Leaders Urge UN to Ban AI-Based Lethal Weapons
A group of the world's top technology leaders have published an open letter urging the United Nations to ban the use of AI in weapons
systems, amid growing concerns that autonomous killer robots could wind
up taking control. The group of 116 companies, most of which specialize
in robotics or AI, argued that its growing use could revolutionize
modern warfare in irreversible ways.

Survey: In-App Customer Support Is a Winner
Consumers want mobile apps with good in-app customer support, suggest results of a recent survey. Radius Global Market Research conducted the
online poll of adults in the United States this spring. Among the
survey's findings: Eighty-nine percent of respondents said they would
recommend an app if a customer support agent proactively contacted them
while they were experiencing problems.

Kari's Law: A 911 Fix That Will Make the US Safer
The 911 emergency number was created back in the day when telephones were connected by wires, before cellphones or Voice over Internet
Protocol in the home, and before Multi-Line Telephone Systems in the
enterprise. In the early days, anyone could dial 911 for police, fire or
medical emergencies. When consumers dropped land lines and started using
Internet phone services, a 911 problem surfaced.
