OPINION: Countless tech startups break out in a given year. The majority fail. Of the ones that don’t, some are boring, some are copycats, and some are worth mentioning, but not necessarily highlighting. Just one startup stood out to me in 2017: Eve-Tech. To be clear, Eve-Tech was founded back in December 2013 (see this […]
OPINION: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission screwed up royally yesterday by repealing net neutrality in the U.S.. Those rules, which aimed to ensure a free and open internet, went into effect in June 2015, but the repeal goes back even further. I won’t go into the details of why this is not just bad but […]
OPINION: Microsoft announced massive Windows 10 news this week, arguably the biggest since the operating system debuted over two years ago: Windows 10 on ARM. Three big features come with that: the screen turns on “instantly” unlike existing PCs, LTE is built right in, and the battery can last for days. But the unveiling comes […]
OPINION: This was a busy week for Twitter. The company made major headlines at least three times — and as is often the case, the first of the three received the least attention. Twitter’s decision to update its public policies after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened North Korea deserves more scrutiny. Yes, more than the […]
OPINION: Firefox Focus is the only product to come out of Mozilla in the last few years that I can genuinely point to and say: Look, the company is doing something interesting again. I’ve been using it regularly since its debut in June, which is more than I can say for any other third-party mobile […]
The first Daydream and Tango phone will be the last. Asus has Google’s ARCore to thank for that. I want to say the Asus ZenFone AR was dead on arrival, but that’s not completely true. Google did give it 27 days to live. When I got my hands on an Asus Zenfone AR review unit, […]
OPINION: Google this week launched Allo for web. Ugh, that’s not right. Let me try again. Google this week launched Allo for Chrome. Hmm, still not quite accurate. Google this week launched Allo for Chrome for Android. Gah, for the love of god, I’ve only made it worse. Google this week launched Allo for Chrome […]
OPINION: It’s been a tough month for wearables. Two weeks ago, The Information revealed that Jawbone is being liquidated. This week, CNBC reported that Intel had axed its wearables division. As my colleagues and friends know, I’m one of the biggest skeptics of wearables in the world. As such, neither of these stories shocked me […]
OPINION: This year’s I/O developer conference felt a little repetitive. Almost everything announced was an iteration on what Google showed off last year. But there was one theme that was particularly clear, especially on day one: Google is becoming more and more confident with its bet on AI. The consumer version of this is Google […]
OPINION: For scrappy hardware startups and billion-dollar tech giants alike, product reviews matter. They’re the first indicator of success or failure. As timelines from announcement to launch tighten, product reviewers get shorter and shorter deadlines. So companies came up with a solution: to offer beta hardware, also known as preproduction units. It is incredibly difficult […]
