Today's Story Highlights

Augmented Reality and E-Commerce: Bridging the Physical-Digital Gap

I grew up thinking the Mall of America was an unbelievable epicenter of
retail commerce. Touted as the biggest mall in the world -- even
equipped with an amusement park -- the Minnesota complex boasted stores
of all kinds: toys, clothing, furniture, home furnishings. Then this
thing called "e-commerce" came along and basically made the Mall of
America seem like Main Street in small-town America.

Google Images Now Display Shoppable Ads

Google wants to become your digital shopping catalog through shoppable
ads. The company on Tuesday said it is testing a new format on a small
percentage of traffic with select retailers. Merchants can highlight
multiple products available for sale within a sponsored ad among Google
Images results. Google is testing this approach on broad queries
surfacing on searches like "home office ideas," "shower tile designs"
and "abstract art."
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85883.html

Target Hits the E-Commerce Bull's-Eye

Target has reported higher gains in last year's holiday sales, largely
due to improved e-commerce strategies and store makeovers, and has
offered an upbeat outlook. Its stores fulfilled nearly 75 percent of its
fourth-quarter digital sales. Holiday sales increased 5.3 percent.
Physical stores open for at least 12 months saw a sales jump of 2.9
percent. Online sales soared 31 percent.

Breaches: Fix the Issue, Not the Blame

Following a natural disaster that causes property damage to businesses
and homes -- say a hurricane, fire or flood -- how often do you hear
suggestions that the victims were at fault for their misfortune, or that
they could have done something to prevent the event from occurring in
the first place? Not often, right? We all know that events like that are
possible. We plan around those possibilities, and we don't blame the
victims.

The Morning After: Tim's Apple joke, and Crew Dragon is coming back

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Friday, March 08, 2019.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Good morning! As a squad of Engadget editors makes their way to SXSW for the weekend, we’ve been testing Samsung’s latest smartwatch, taking a second look at the Switch and hearing some interesting news about Disney+.

Re-review.

Nintendo Switch revisited: Two years makes a big difference

Nintendo’s bet on portability has paid off well. While other consoles are stuck under your TV, the Switch lets you bring your favorite games just about anywhere. Despite specs that don’t seem to compare to high-powered 4K-ready systems, it maintains a growing selection of innovative new games combined with more indies and classics joining the party every day.

Right about… now.

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is coming back to Earth

After a week or so attached to the ISS, the Demo-1 mission of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is headed back home. Early Friday morning it undocked, and starting at 7:30 AM ET, you can join us to watch the NASA TV broadcast as it eventually splashes down in the Atlantic Ocean for recovery.

Four and a half years after it first landed on Android.

Sony finally brings PS4 Remote Play to iPhone and iPad

Four years since the app first appeared on Sony phones, PS4 Remote Play has come to iOS, meaning you can remotely play on your PS4 console, provided the WiFi holds strong. And you know what? It works even better than Remote Play on the PlayStation Vita.

You can get Clip Studio Paint Pro for only $30

It's a charming alternative to the Fitbit Versa, but it has its issues.

24 hours with Samsung's Galaxy Watch Active

Samsung’s first keenly priced smartwatch is in our hands, or should we say on our wrists. There’s a lot to like, but we have some early concerns with battery life.

Where do we start?

The best games for PC

Gaming on your PC means console-beating graphical performance -- if you've got the coin for it. We've tried to be broad with our recommendations here on purpose. There are so many great games out there for your PC, consider this as a starting point.

Say goodbye to the infamous vault?

Disney’s streaming service will include its entire movie library

According to Disney CEO Bob Iger, Disney+ “will house the entire Disney motion picture library, so the movies that you speak of that traditionally have been kept in a 'vault' and brought out basically every few years will be on the service.”

Check his Twitter bio.

Tim Cook is in on the Tim Apple joke

Get it?

But wait, there's more...

1. Google: Update Chrome now as attackers are 'actively exploiting' a bug

2. Corsair's K83 media keyboard is great... when it works

3. Leica's compact, full-frame Q2 captures 47MP photos and 4K video

4. Amazon teases when its 'Lord of the Rings' series will take place

5. The original 'Diablo' is now available on GOG.com

6. Gaze at the supercar fantasies at the Geneva Motor Show

7. Amazon's joint healthcare organization is called 'Haven'

Editor's Pick: End of the Line for Windows 7: Open Road for Hackers

End of the Line for Windows 7: Open Road for Hackers

Peter Suciu
Mar 7, 2019 10:26 AM PT

Microsoft has been urging customers to upgrade from its Windows 7 operating system, while attempting to ease the transition with several options for extended support. It will stop providing routine fixes and security patches effective January 2020. Regular support for Windows Server 2008 also will end at that time. Windows 7 enterprise customers can subscribe to Extended Security Updates. [More...]

Modern Selling
Looking at the current assortment of CRM functionality, including AI, machine learning, voice recognition and chatbots, you might conclude that the tools are evolving to remove salespeople and others from direct customer contact -- and you wouldn't be wrong. What's surprising to me, though, is the amount of sales angst among senior people about the division of salespeople's time. [More...]
