For all the anticipation around the relaunch, Nokia (HMD Global?) has been taking it slow and steady over the last year or so of their rebirth.

Amazon is said to be working on building 'Home Robots' and is reported to have bigger plans for a domestic robot according to people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. The project currently has a codename “Vesta,” and is overseen by Gregg Zehr, who runs Amazon’s Lab126 hardware research and development division based in Sunnyvale, California.
The Lab126 is the backbone of Amazon devices such as the Echo speakers, Fire TV set-top-boxes, Fire tablets and the ill-fated Fire Phone. Though the project was started years ago, Amazon is aggressively planning to ramp up the hiring. The job listings on Lab 126 Jobs page include roles of Software Engineer, Robotics” and “Principle Sensors Engineer.” Furthermore, the company hopes to begin testing the robots in employees’ homes by the end of this year, and potentially with consumers as early as 2019.
However, the timeline could change anytime, and Amazon hardware projects are sometimes killed during gestation. It is also unclear what tasks can the Amazon robot perform, but people who were briefed claim that it will be a mobile Alexa accompanying customers in parts of their home. The prototypes include advanced cameras, computer vision software and can navigate through homes like a self-driving car.
To be clear, this project is different than the robots designed ...
The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess the acquisition of Shazam by Apple under the EU Merger Regulation. The commission believes that the merger could reduce choice for users of music streaming services.
Back in February multiple countries, including Austria, France, Iceland, and Spain, requested European Commission to assess the acquisition to determine whether it’s allowed under a European Union merger law. The commission has now acted on the request with a deadline set to September 4th. Apple currently gets 1 million clicks per day through the Shazam app.
Since Shazam is still live, if Apple who has acquired the Shazam shuts down or only direct referrals to its own music service, Spotify could lose a significant amount of traffic. Additionally and most importantly, Apple could use the Shazam’s data to unfairly target its rivals’ users and “encourage them to switch to Apple Music.”
Apple confirmed the acquisition of music recognition app Shazam for $400 million back in December, and the transaction was notified to the Commission on 14 March 2018, and it now has 90 working days, until 4 September 2018 to come to a decision.
Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said:
The way people listen to music has changed significantly in recent years, with more ...

The Chinese handset maker Huawei has evolved so much in the recent years. The improvements and the refinements in the successive Huawei smartphones are indeed evident.

Since more phones are adopting it, I guess it's good time for the customers to get used to it.
Fortunately, if you are not a fan of it, there is an option ...
