The Morning After: Weekend Edition

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Saturday, July 21, 2018.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Welcome to the weekend! Before looking back at some highlights from the last few days we’ll investigate the foibles of a few tech CEOs and take a ride in Porsche’s hybrid wagon.

(View in browser.)

Still a work in progress.

'Emojiland' review

Emojiland runs through Sunday as part of the New York Musical Festival, and it endeavors to deal with weightier subjects than you might expect from a musical in which a woman dressed as a poop emoji brings the house down with a brassy, gospel-inspired number in a bathroom stall. But what is it like to actually sit through? Not bad, actually.

Facebook’s founder is that guy.

Bad Password - Mark Zuckerberg: CEO, billionaire, troll

If a podcast interview results in the need to clarify whether or not you’re defending Holocaust deniers, then it probably didn’t go well.

We all dreamed of different Musks.

Why Elon Musk isn't the hero we imagined

Good luck living up to the notion that an engineer with aspiration and cash can change the world for the better.

Back to Los Santos.

'GTA: Online' goes clubbin' next week with 'After Hours'

A little bit of Liberty City is coming to GTA: Online very, very soon. "Gay" Tony Prince, first seen in Grand Theft Auto IV's "The Ballad of Gay Tony" expansion from 2009, is opening up a nightclub in Los Santos and needs your help.

Equally at home dropping off the kids or hitting the switchbacks.

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo review

With a price starting at $104,000, the 2018 Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo checks off a lot of boxes for potential Porsche owners that also have family obligations. The hybrid system adds power and efficiency, all wrapped in styling that makes you realize station wagons can be cool.

Big and small at the same time.

Toshiba's flash chips could boost SSD capacity by 500 percent

Toshiba has started building prototype sample flash memory with the highest capacity yet, 1.33 terabits (166GB) per chip. The 96-layer 3D NAND flash chips have four bits per cell, as compared to its current-gen three-bit tech, which allowed for chips with "only" 32GB. A typical package for flash storage, containing 16 of the chips, would have an astonishing 2.66 TB capacity, opening up new possibilities for faster, higher density SSDs and memory cards.

Season two kicks off in 2019.

'Star Trek: Discovery' mini episodes arrive this fall

At Comic-Con Discovery executive producer and co-creator Alex Kurtzman revealed four "Short Treks" will arrive throughout the fall, as 10 - 15 minute standalone episodes. Rainn Wilson's character Harry Mudd will be featured in one, Aldis Hodge as Craft in another, while the other two follow characters Saru and Tilly. Oh, and there’s a new trailer for season two.

But wait, there's more...

1. Netflix and Shonda Rhimes reveal eight exclusive series in the works

2. First 'Stranger Things' season 3 teaser is a perfect '80s mall ad

3. Apple's MacBook eGPU is a step toward winning back creative pros

4. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter unite to simplify data transfers

5. What you need to know before building a HiFi system

6. Smart record presses promise consistent audio quality at a global scale

7. Nathan Fillion is a fitting star for an 'Uncharted' fan film

8. Hey Google, Android actually does stifle competition

9. How 'Mission: Impossible' made the leap to 4K and HDR

10. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is now the richest person in recent history

11. You can legally download 3D-printed gun designs next month

Today's Story Highlights

Data Partners Team Up to Get ABM Right

Openprise has announced new partnerships and a new service designed to
streamline marketing automation and account-based marketing operations.
The new partners offer capabilities such as reverse-IP lookup, business-
to-personal-email address lookup, business data in the UK, and more in-
depth business-to-consumer and business-to-business data capabilities.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85459.html

Is Philanthropy Becoming Sexy?

The Internet has a long and storied history of democratizing information
and influencing social change. It has flattened hierarchies and made
information accessible to many more people -- though, ironically, it
also has sometimes assaulted democracy in the process. Just think about
how philanthropy has been changing at the instigation of Salesforce, one
of the Internet's poster kids.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85460.html

Cover Up, Your Smart TV May Be Spying on You

Did you know that fancy smart TV sitting in your living room, kitchen,
bedroom or bathroom actually may be watching you? Sorry to break it to
you. It's another example of amazing modern technology designed to help
marketers while striking a blow to privacy. Then again, we haven't had
privacy in more years than I can remember. There are two ways to look at
this. If you are a marketer, you love it.

Marketing Partnership to Help Fine-Tune Targeting

Sonobi and LiveRamp have partnered to help marketers improve targeting.
The partnership will let brands and agencies build media packages using
the Sonobi JetStream multichannel ad platform and LiveRamp's identity
resolution system. "Sonobi has a forecasting and planning engine that
understands the visitation patterns of an individual user across the
open Web," said CEO Michael Connolly.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85454.html

How E-Commerce SMBs Can Weather Political, Social Firestorms

A national debate over civility erupted after Stephanie Wilkinson, a co-
owner of a Red Hen restaurant in Virginia, asked White House Press
Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave. That wasn't the only
consequence of the incident, though. Restaurant owners in various parts
of America whose businesses had the words "red hen" in their name were
deluged with a storm of angry reactions.

Today's Story Highlights

The Pain and Potential of Making a 180-Degree Policy Shift

Photo-hosting service Photobucket in May quietly restored third-party
hosting of photos, reversing its unpopular year-old policy that required
users to pay nearly $400 for hosting privileges. Many irate users
claimed their photos were "taken hostage." Hosted photos on blogs,
forums and other sites were replaced by an image of a dial indicating
the hosted data quota had been surpassed.

Samsung's Foldable Smartphone Slated for Next Year: Report

Samsung plans to launch a foldable-screen smartphone early next year,
according to reports, possibly priced around $1,500. It will resemble a
book, with the main display inside the covers, said Ken Hyers, director
of the emerging device strategies service at Strategy Analytics. The
exterior will have a smaller notification display on the front, and a
camera, or cameras, on the back.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85452.html

Google Adds Kubernetes to Rebranded Cloud Marketplace

Google has announced the rebranding and expansion of its Cloud Launcher
platform. Going forward, it will be known as the "Google Cloud Platform
Marketplace," or "GCP Marketplace." It will offer production-ready
commercial Kubernetes apps, promising simplified deployment, billing and
third-party licensing. Google's goal is to make containers accessible to
everyone, especially the enterprise.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85457.html

Microsoft's New Skype Could Be Risky Gamble

Microsoft has announced a new version of its Skype messaging app, along
with a warning that previous versions of the software will be disabled
after Sept. 1. "As we roll out improvements, there comes a time when we
must shut down older services and application versions," wrote the Skype
Team in an online post. "This is done to ensure that all customers have
the best possible Skype experience."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85451.html

New Roku Speakers Offer Sophisticated Audio for Smart TVs

Roku has earned a reputation for making streaming TV products that are
easy to set up and use, and that deliver above-average quality at
affordable prices -- and that's the approach it has taken with its new
Roku TV Wireless Speakers. The company unveiled the speakers on Monday,
and expects to start shipping them in October, when they will sell for
$199.99.
