Apple's New iPod Gets in Touch With Gamers

processor, greater storage capacity and improved communications
features. The new iPod is built on Apple's A10 Fusion chip, the same
processor used in the iPhone 7. According to Apple, the power upgrade
delivers two times faster performance than previous models and three
times better graphics.

GitHub Opens New Door to Financial Support for Open Source Devs

GitHub has made it easier for open source developers to garner financial
support as recipients of paid sponsorships. GitHub Sponsors, launched in
beta last week, is a new funding mechanism that enables open source
users to make recurring payments, much like crowdfunding services such
as Patreon and managed open source subscription services like Tidelift.

How to Set Up Your Computer to Auto-Restart After a Power Outage

Aside from malware and viruses, nothing has the potential to be more
dangerous to your computer's health than power outages. Here is how to
ensure your computer keeps it boot on when a power failure turns the
lights off. With the approach of the turbulent summer season, it is
important to know what kills the electrical lifeline, how to safeguard
your digital gear from fatal reboot disease.

Qualcomm and Huawei: Now Things Are Just Getting Weird

Qualcomm just lost its seemingly no-lose case against the FTC, largely
because it seems the judge was only physically in the room during the
trial. The ruling makes it look like she and I observed very different
trials. In addition, the U.S. apparently declared war against Huawei,
which actually could benefit Huawei. The result of both efforts
effectively could be to give the 5G market to China.

The Biggest Customer Service Mistakes Brands Make on Social Media

Fara Haron May 29, 2019 12:14 PM PT

Case in point: Eighty- one percent of people in the U.S. have a social networking profile, and the number of worldwide users is expected to reach 3.02 billion by 2021. Consumers also have been devoting more of their time to engaging with social media sites. One-seventh of the average user's waking life is spent on social media. [More...]

Getting Chatty With Chatbots
Chatbots are an important part of the e-commerce shopping experience. They answer questions, provide information, and help customers along in their buying journey. Though they may never replace human beings entirely, they are central to many e-commerce-related interactions. Because they can be everpresent, chatbots are vital for keeping customers and potential customers engaged with a brand. [More...]

Today's Story Highlights

How to Set Up Your Computer to Auto-Restart After a Power Outage

United States Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai this
week gave the green light to a merger between T-Mobile and Sprint,
currently the third- and fourth-largest mobile carriers respectively.
The nation's top telecom regulator agreed to the $26 billion merger, but
with some conditions -- the most notable being that Sprint would sell
off its Boost Mobile prepaid cellphone brand.

US Post Office to Test-Drive Autonomous Trucks

The U.S. Postal Service has announced a pilot project using self-driving
trucks. It will conduct the two-week experiment in collaboration with
TuSimple, an autonomous driving technology company based in San Diego.
TuSimple's contract with the postal service calls for one of the
company's self-driving trucks to make five round trips hauling USPS
trailers between Dallas and Phoenix.

5G Could Mess With Accuracy of Weather Forecasts

Next-generation 5G mobile communications technology could have a harmful
impact on weather forecasting in the United States, based on expert
testimony presented before a U.S. House committee during a hearing on
the future of weather forecasting. Interference from 5G wireless phones
could reduce the accuracy of weather forecasts by 30 percent, said Neil
Jacobs, Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere at
NOAA.

Today's Story Highlights

Getting Chatty With Chatbots

Chatbots are an important part of the e-commerce shopping experience.
They answer questions, provide information, and help customers along in
their buying journey. Though they may never replace human beings
entirely, they are central to many e-commerce-related interactions.
Because they can be everpresent, chatbots are vital for keeping
customers and potential customers engaged with a brand.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/86039.html

Leveraging the Tools That Fuel E-Commerce Growth

E-commerce technologies have been innovating fast. It's no surprise,
considering e-commerce in North America grew by 15 percent in 2018, to
reach more than $500 billion. Today's e-commerce businesses need to stay
ahead of the curve if they want to be the consumer's choice, as
convenience and relevance remain king. Companies can stand out by
deploying some of the latest technologies.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/86038.html

Where CEOs Go Wrong With Brand ID

Brand ID is key to every company's success and growth. Why then do so
many senior executives at so many different companies screw it up? When
you come up with a winning brand ID, it's OK to build on it and to
change it for the better, but not for the worse. Customers buy from you
based on your brand ID. If that changes, then customers may change their
buying habits as well.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/86037.html

ARM Joins Firms Shunning Huawei's Business

British mobile device software design firm ARM has ordered its staff to
stop working with Chinese smartphone giant Huawei, in compliance with a
ban issued by President Trump. Under an executive order he signed last
week, foreign companies and individuals are prohibited from buying
United States technology and services without first obtaining special
approval from the U.S. government.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/86031.html

EU's Counterattack on Junk News May Help Protect Elections

Government efforts to minimize the effects of junk and fake news
circulating on social media ahead of this week's EU parliamentary
elections may have succeeded, suggest results of a study conducted by
Oxford University's Computational Propaganda Project. The European
Commission undertook targeted actions to counter junk news last year.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/86030.html

Better Customer Satisfaction Through AI-Enabled CRM

You don't have to be entrenched in the tech world to have heard the
term, "artificial intelligence," but what is artificial intelligence, or
AI, as it's commonly known? Simply put, AI is the simulation of human
intelligence processes performed by machines or computer systems.
Nowadays, AI is being used to carry out many jobs previously held by
humans, but there's no need to panic.

Linux Mint Turns Cinnamon Experience Bittersweet
Linux Mint no longer may be an ideal choice for above-par performance out of the box, but it still can serve diehard users well with the right amount of post-installation tinkering. The Linux Mint distro clearly is the gold standard for measuring Cinnamon desktop integration. Linux Mint's developers turned the GNOME desktop alternative into one of the best Linux desktop choices.

AppExchange Partners Get a Lift
For many years, one of the big concerns of the cloud software industry has been ensuring that the user experience was as good for enterprise software users as it was for consumers on big websites like Amazon. That has been a good motivator, because today's apps on both desktops and mobile devices have seen major improvements. That applies to today's partner ecosystem as well. [More...]
