Uber is rolling out a major redesign of its app today — the most significant update since 2012. The changes, which are only for users and not drivers, are supposed to offer a much cleaner interface, less confusion around which service to request, and shortcut options to frequent destinations. The new app, which The Verge saw during a media briefing and product demo earlier this week, does appear to be much easier to use. (For instance, even small details such as the color of a driver’s car are..>> view originalI want a Microsoft Surface Studio monitor
Microsoft's beautiful Surface Studio is a PC that's much more than an all-in-one. While you can do all the regular PC things you'd expect from a Windows PC, it's really the screen that makes it different from a regular computer. It's a screen that folds down to transform the PC into a drawing board, designed for stylus, touch, and new Dial input. It's unlike any regular all-in-one PC we've seen before, but I want to turn any laptop into a Surface Studio. As speculation mounted over Microsoft's ..>> view originalPhil Schiller justifies the compromises of the MacBook Pro

Scientists have sent back eerie photos from deep under the Gulf of Mexico of what's been called a "jacuzzi of death," a salty lake with a pretty coastline sitting at the bottom of the sea. The formation is actually a brine pool, and because the undersea body of water is so salty and low in oxygen, it’s deathly for critters, like fish and crabs, that end up in it. Crew members from a research ship, the E/V Nautilus, have referred to the undersea lake as the “jacuzzi of despair." The brine pool ..>> view originalBoosted warns of battery threat in its electric skateboards

Microsoft’s Teams app reinvents communication and collaboration in a way that’s typically Microsoft: tons of features, numerous options, with some of that complexity unfortunately pushed onto the user.

Within Teams, users can chat in groups or one-on-one, share files, communicate via Skype video calls, and even interact with bots and third-party apps. By the way, if you thought Microsoft Yammer was Microsoft’s ans..>> view originalFacebook Profit Soars, but Growth Concerns Emerge
