Is GoPro Learning Lessons From 2015, or Not? and other top stories.

  • Is GoPro Learning Lessons From 2015, or Not?

    A year ago, GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) was in the midst of the most difficult stretch in its relatively short history. The Hero Session launch was a disaster, the product line had become too complicated, and there was too much inventory. This combination led to a decline in the business that's still evident today. To turn the business around, GoPro has to learn lessons from 2015's mistakes. And so far this year, there's been both good and bad news about how the company has chan..

  • Facebook Reportedly Willing to Restrict News Stories in China

    Facebook Reportedly Willing to Restrict News Stories in China
    Many analysts and insiders thought Facebook would never come back to China after its service was blocked there in 2009. Facebook’s mission of making “the world more open and connected” was at odds with China’s mission to wall off its Internet and censor content its government finds objectionable. Now it seems many analysts underestimated Facebook’s willingness to make concessions to Chinese authorities over the terms that have kept it out. Facebook is working on a program to restrict stories ..

  • Buying a PC on Black Friday? Here are five trends to watch out for

    Buying a PC on Black Friday? Here are five trends to watch out for
    The iPad Pro is the rare Apple tablet getting a discount from retailers this Black Friday. It's fair to say that Black Friday, while still popular, is no longer quite the insane orgy of shopping it was even a few years ago. There's a number of reasons for this -- many of which involve the Internet -- but the shift in buying habits has been felt in computer sales as well. While there are still a massive number of laptops, desktops and tablets sold on the shopping holiday (and extended weekend),..

  • Apple Watchers Wonder What Will Be the Next Big Thing

    Apple Watchers Wonder What Will Be the Next Big Thing
    Every time someone asks Apple CEO Tim Cook when the company’s next new products are coming, Cook assures them they’re just around the corner. It’s just that Apple, to maintain its competitive edge, refuses to tip its hand. When Apple announced its quarterly earnings last month, one analyst asked whether the company was in “a gap period” in which new products aren’t quite ready. “We have the strongest pipeline that we’ve ever had, and we’re really confident about the things in it,” Cook replied...

    Spotify for Android now has bottom bar navigation, and that's a wonderful thing
    If you’re a consistent Spotify user on Android, you probably noticed that something’s a bit different today. It seems that Spotify has finally flipped the server-side switch to enable bottom navigation for all users in the stable channel, which means one fantastic, wonderful thing: no more hamburger menu. This means that accessing Home, Browse, Search, Radio, and Your Library are all just a single tap away now — just like they are in the iPhone app, and just like they should be. Previously, ..

    This rocket engine breaks a law of physics. But a NASA test says it works anyway.
    An image of a globular cluster taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. (NASA) NASA scientists have been daydreaming about a new kind of rocket engine that could carry astronauts to Mars in 70 days without burning any fuel. Now, in a new paper published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Propulsion and Power, they say that it might really work. The paper, written by astrophysicists at NASA's Eagleworks Laboratories, tested a electromagnetic propulsion system, or “EM drive,” that generates a small a..
