The Internet of Medical Things, Part 1: A New Concept in Healthcare

Quinten Plummer Jun 30, 2016 5:00 AM PT
	Manufacturers are eager to lay the bricks and help pave the road to better, more personalized healthcare through integration of connected devices in the new Internet of Medical Things. Compared to other industries, healthcare has been "inherently conservative and slow" to embrace innovations such as the cloud and the Internet of Things -- but that's changing. [More...]

Clinton Issues Clarion Call to Boost Tech in the US
Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential
candidate, this week unveiled a technology and innovation agenda that
calls for a broader commitment to improving computer science and STEM
education, expansion of broadband Internet to the entire United States,
and deployment of 5G wireless networks. Clinton's plan calls for
advancing high-tech training in American schools.

Amazon Pushes Dash Buttons as Customers Give Them the Gong
Amazon on Tuesday announced a wide expansion of its Dash Button on-touch
retail sales program, despite indications of relatively low acceptance
among its key base of Prime customers. The company added more than 50
retail products to its lineup of Dash thumb-drive size buttons, which
let consumers reorder things like detergent and toilet tissue when their
supply is getting low.

The 4 Fundamental Attributes of Customer Loyalty, Part 1
As I see it, there are four basic capabilities, or attributes, needed to

personalization, contextual interaction and journey mapping.

Microsoft Makes It Easier to Say No to Windows 10
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a new Windows 10 upgrade policy -- weeks
after losing a $10,000 case in a small claims court. The owner of TG
Travel Group in Sausalito, California, last month won a final judgment
after she alleged that her computer was upgraded to the new operating
system without prior authorization, according to court documents.

Salesforce VP Lynne Zaledonis: Intelligence Is the Next Generation of CRM

Vivian Wagner Jun 28, 2016 11:27 AM PT

Salesforce VP Lynne Zaledonis drives product marketing and sales enablement for Sales Cloud. In order to succeed in the age of the customer, companies need to understand that the new cloud, mobile and social world we find ourselves in "has produced trillions of pieces of customer data, and it's totally changed how we engage with our customers, and how they engage with us," Zaledonis said.

Twitter Tries to Get Stickier Twitter fans who want to dress up pix they post to the service can do it with #Stickers, a new feature announced Monday. "Soon, you can browse our rotating sets of stickers to join in on real-time conversations, and select from the library of hundreds of accessories, emoji, and props to make your photos more fun," said Sasank Reddy, a senior product manager at Twitter.

Volkswagen Aims to Clear the Air With $15B US Settlement Volkswagen on Tuesday announced that it has reached an agreement to settle claims arising from the emissions scandal that has plagued the company since its discovery two years ago.

Senate Falls Short on Expansion of FBI Surveillance Authority
The United States Senate last week rejected a Republican-backed
amendment that would have given the FBI expanded authority to access the
browser histories and other electronic records of targets of terrorism
and other national security investigations without first obtaining a
warrant. The Senate voted 58-38 for the amendment, cosponsored by Sens.
Richard Burr and John McCain.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83645.html

Verizon's Mission of Self-Destruction
Customers and investors increasingly are wondering why Verizon and
Verizon Wireless are hurting themselves with their actions. For
starters, Verizon decided to battle its own striking workers on the
public stage. That battle shed lots of bad blood, and it will be tough
to close those wounds. Many companies experience strikes, but most are
settled quickly and quietly.

Webpass Buy Lets Google Fiber Extend Its Tentacles
Google Fiber, the high-speed Internet unit of Alphabet, has agreed to
buy Webpass, a San Francisco-based broadband service provider that
operates in five major metropolitan areas of the U.S., Webpass announced
Wednesday. The deal will allow the combined companies to accelerate the
growth of high-speed Internet across the U.S., said Webpass President
Charles Barr.

Social's Turning Point
Microsoft's acquisition of LinkedIn for more than $26 billion has
created quite a stir -- at least in my world. The deal can boast a
number of superlatives: the largest sale of a consumer Internet company
in history; the largest sale of an enterprise software/cloud company in
history; the third-largest sale of a technology company since 2001; and
the largest Microsoft acquisition ever.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83640.html

Tesla Shares Tank on SolarCity Merger Proposal
Shares of Tesla Motors fell sharply Wednesday after the company, helmed
by Elon Musk, made an offer to buy SolarCity for $2.8 billion. Musk is
the chairman and top shareholder of the struggling alternative energy
provider. Tesla made the offer Monday, in a letter to SolarCity CEO
Lyndon Rive, noting that Musk and Antonio Gracias would recuse
themselves from voting on the proposal.
