Customer relationship management is a term you've likely heard if you have worked in the tech space. CRM software solutions have not always been as far-reaching as they are today. Over the last 40 years, CRM has evolved from a range of disparate business solutions developed for various customer needs. The earliest CRM tools were devices like Rolodexes, which you can hardly even find these days. [More...]

The Morning After: A 2020 election hacking story you didn't expect

Engadget Email Newsletter

It's Saturday, March 16, 2019.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Welcome to your weekend! While we take a look back at some highlight stories this week out of SXSW, there’s a trial result in Apple v. Qualcomm, and a presidential candidate’s past is quite relevant to our interests. Oh, and we rode in the Model Y. Almost forgot about that.

(View in browser.)

That’s one way to do it.

Fan uses AI to remaster 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' in HD

While you wouldn't mistake it for an official remaster, using AI Gigapixel’s neural networks on old Deep Space 9 video provides a considerably cleaner, sharper look than the 480p original without introducing visual artifacts.

This is just one of several cases going on between the two companies.

Jury decides Apple violated three Qualcomm patents in iPhones

Following a two-week trial, a jury has determined that Apple violated three Qualcomm patents in some iPhones. The jury awarded Qualcomm $31 million, the full amount it was seeking, though Apple had won a ruling to limit the potential payout.

The 9 Pro starts at $1,100, while the 9 Pen starts at $1,400.

Samsung's Notebook 9 goes on sale March 17th

Samsung has revealed its Notebook 9 Pen and Notebook 9 Pro will go on sale this Sunday, March 17th. The 9 Pen comes in both 13-inch and 15-inch versions, has more ports than last year’s version and packs a much bigger battery with fast-charging that lets it run for up to 15 hours. The 9 Pro 2-in-1 has a stylus of its own plus a more stylish look and a sleek metal case this time around.

Welcome to 2019.

Beto O'Rourke was a member of hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke was a member of the influential US-based hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow (CDC), according to a report from Reuters. The former three-term congressman from Texas confirmed his involvement in the group to the publication, as did members of the hacking collective.

Build it.

LG's SnowWhite is like a Keurig for ice cream

This prototype SnowWhite machine is basically like a Keurig, featuring a pod-based system that allows you to choose the base and flavor for a variety of frozen desserts. That means it isn't just limited to ice cream: You might also be able to make gelato, granita, sorbet, yogurt and more.

Get in line.

Porsche's Taycan EV has pulled in more than 20,000 deposits

According to Porsche’s CEO, it’s doubling production plans for the electric car after more than 20,000 people put down a couple of grand to show they’re interested in purchasing one.

But wait, there's more...

1. Apple will finally unveil its streaming video service on March 25th

2. Bugatti's Baby II toy is like Power Wheels, if they cost $35,000

3. Tesla decides to keep more stores open and raise prices instead

4. Riding in Tesla's very quick Model Y crossover

5. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez believes we should be excited about automated jobs

6. Boeing will release software updates for 737 Max jets by April

7. Ford drops an electric blue Mustang teaser on Tesla's festivities

From Virtual to Value: Building Meaningful Experiences With Gamification

Amid shifting consumer habits and the digitization of everything, the
retail landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past
decade, and it continues to evolve as quickly as ever. These

Can Facebook Solve Its Worsening Privacy Problem?

The good news is that of the many troubles Facebook has, privacy seems
to be front and center for both CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl
Sandberg. The question is, will the actions they take to address the
company's privacy issues be enough? If not, this is the kind of problem
that can and will cause long-term damage to the Facebook brand. Its
leaders need to come up with an immediate fix.

Amazon Drops Lowest-Pricing Rule for Third-Party Sellers

Amazon reportedly has removed the price parity contract clause that
barred third-party vendors on its platform from selling their products
at a lower price elsewhere. The company long has been accused of
anticompetitive behavior and has come under considerable political
pressure because of its use of the price parity, also known as "most
favored nation," restriction.

Millennial CRM

Trying to do business without also having a modern CRM system is like
walking around naked. You can do it, at least for a little while, but
people will begin to think you're weird -- and the trouble is, those
people are all potential customers. CRM is essential today because,
despite our reverence for the free market, it's really more like free
markets -- plural.
