Let's be real here for a second. You only clicked on this page because you want the new Samsung Galaxy S9+. We can't blame you, Samsung really pulled all the stops with this bad boy.
Although there isn't much of an upgrade on the design front, almost everything else is brand spanking new — from the enhanced camera and all-improved stereo speakers to the faster chip and new operating system. As Mashable's Raymond Wong put it, "at long last, Samsung gets it exactly right."
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ boast a slew of features that just might put the iPhone to shame. It has upgraded speakers that are 1.4x louder than its predecessor, a 12-megapixel back camera with not one, but *two* apertures, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with a nifty Selfie Focus feature, and a smarter Bixby assistantBixby Vision can recognize food and inform you of its calorie content, plus it can also serve as a mini tour guide with its ability to identify places and tell you more about them. Oh, and the S9 still has a headphone jack, which counts for something. It also doesn't have any annoying screen notches. Read more...

Gary Vaynerchuk and his agency Vayner Media are already known for dominating and owning social media. But now they're turning their attentions to Voice AI. We caught up with Gary to talk about the massive opportunities and challenges that a future of talking to machines presents. Here's the conversation in full:
Can we establish your views on how revolutionary Voice AI is and is going to be in our day to day lives
It’s going to be one of the core pillars of our interaction. I would say in a decade it’s going to rival the cell phone as we know it today. Ultimately because of how much time we spend the cell phone will continue to be the primary, but I genuinely believe that voice AI enabled devices and infrastructure is going to become as crucial as the cell phone in the way we interact with technology.

When you're a high-level Facebook executive and something you said in the past comes back to haunt you, your best hope for salvation is frantically taking to Twitter.
Or so it would seem for Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, the Facebook Vice President who is trying to distance himself from an internal 2016 company memo he wrote that was published Thursday by BuzzFeed News.
The memo argues that the purpose of Facebook is to connect people, and that even if that connection means people literally die as a result, the company will not slow down in its attempts at growth. Read more...
