Is there a Google car in your future?
If the major automakers won't play, Google might design its own autonomous cars and work with contract manufacturers to build them, says a report on Jessica Lessin's blog.
According to a report from Amir Efrati on Jessica Lessin's blog, Google has been talking to automakers and contract manufacturers about designing and developing a self-driving car to its specifications. The Google-designed autonomous cars could further disrupt the transportation industry with driverless "robo taxis" to get people to and from their destinations.

The Google-designed autonomous cars could further disrupt the transportation industry with driverless "robo taxis" to get people to and from their destinations.
Coincidentally, Google's venture capital arm just invested $258 million in Uber, which connects human drivers with riders.
Google has been trying to work with the major automakers on its self-driving car initiative, but hasn't had much luck so far. Continental, a German automotive supplier, is reportedly establishing a partnership with Google and IBM for self-driving cars, according to a report in the Frankfurter Allgemeine on Thursday.
Whether Google becomes more like Tesla in building its own cars is uncertain, but the company seems committed to disrupting the transportation industry.

Facebook stops peddling physical gifts (no one wants)
The social network is removing teddy bears, flower arrangements, and cookie baskets from its online marketplace to get serious about selling gift cards.
Less than a year after opening up a gift shop, Facebook said Friday that it will no longer sell physical goods. Instead, the social network will fill the shelves of its Web and mobile marketplace with digital gift cards and hawk the Facebook Card.
Less than a year after opening up a gift shop, Facebook said Friday that it will no longer sell physical goods. Instead, the social network will fill the shelves of its Web and mobile marketplace with digital gift cards and hawk the Facebook Card.
"Since launching Gifts in December last year, roughly 80 percent of gifts have been gift cards. So, we're now adding more digital codes and making the Facebook Card redeemable at more merchants," a company spokesperson told CNET. "As a part of this shift in focus to Facebook Card and digital codes, we're also phasing out physical gifts."
The digital-only gift shop experience is getting a new look and rolling out to 10 percent of Facebook users on Friday. All users should see the remodeled Facebook Gifts marketplace next week, the spokesperson said.Facebook is likely scrapping physical goods, which included cupcakes, mugs, flowers, and clothing from partner brands, to cut down on costs associated with delivery and management. Gifts, as a whole, has only proved to be a marginal side business for the social network. The company has repeated on numerous occasions that it doesn't expect to bring in substantial revenue from the e-commerce endeavor this year. In going digital-only, Facebook can continue to experiment with a revenue stream other than advertising without the overhead associated with physical goods.
The Facebook gift shop will peddle more gift cards from more brands and, in some instances, feature digital codes from partners that were previously only offering up goods for delivery, the spokesperson said. Facebook will also allow members to purchase gift cards in variable denominations for the first time, perhaps making the offering more attractive to buyers wishing to set their own terms.
The company also plans to make Facebook Card, a type of prepaid credit card that people can use to pay at select merchants, available as tender at more stores.
The news comes as the social network's shares finished at an all-time of high of $40.55 on Friday. Facebook's stock is up a smidgen in after-hours trading.
Microsoft's Ballmer: 'This was the right path forward

Microsoft's Ballmer: 'This was the right path forward'
I had 15 minutes today to ask Microsoft's outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer a few questions. We talked his biggest regrets, his thinking on what's next and more. Here's Part 1.
It's been 20 years since I was allowed by Microsoft to interview Steve Ballmer. (Yeah, I don't why, either.)
It's been 20 years since I was allowed by Microsoft to interview Steve Ballmer. (Yeah, I don't why, either.)
But today, the day Ballmer announced he'd be retiring within a year as Microsoft's CEO, I got my (most likely last) 15 minutes with Ballmer to interview him.
I asked the usual questions that most might. And I asked a couple of the thousands of questions I have saved up over the years, hoping against hope I'd be granted an audience with SteveB.
Here's what we talked about (from our transcript, which I've edited for length):
Q: What was today like for you? After all, you've been one of the most public faces of Microsoft since 1980.
Ballmer: Somebody said congratulations to me this morning, and I've got to say that surprised me, probably shouldn't. When you retire, it's a perfectly reasonable thing. But, of course, my mind's been all around this notion of it never really being perfect time. ...
So I guess it's congratulations. On the other hand, this is my life. I love Microsoft. I love everything about Microsoft. I own a lot of Microsoft stock. I'm going to continue to own a lot of Microsoft stock. But given that my personal plans wouldn't have had me here forever, this seemed like an appropriate time to me to move forward with retirement.
Q: You think this CEO search is going to take a year?
Ballmer: We've (with the board) have all been working together and the board wants to be able to look, and John (Thompson, the lead director on Microsoft's board) can talk about its needs, but a year is a nice long time. And if it winds up being less, but, you know, it just means that we can do things in a very planful and orderly fashion.Q: When did you actually decide you were going to retire? Was this a sudden decision?
Ballmer: I would say for me, yeah, I've thought about it for a long time, but the timing became more clear to me over the course of the last few months.
You know, we worked hard. We worked hard on our strategy process, our org process. And frankly I had no time to think about it during all of that.... I would say my thinking has intensified really over the last couple, two, two and a half months, something like that.
Q: So when did you finally decide?
Ballmer: Officially, a day or two ago. We had a board call. When was that, two days ago? And it was really two days ago ... I would say that we really -- I finalized and we finalized that this was the right path forward.
Q: Did Chairman Bill Gates ask you to stay or go?
Ballmer: No. Bill -- I mean, no. Bill respects my decision. I mean, it's one of these things when if it's -- you know, ultimately these kinds of things have to be one's own personal decision.
Q: What's next for you now?
Ballmer: Frankly I don't know. I haven't spent a lot of time -- I don't have time to spend actually even thinking about what comes next. I'm not going to have time to do that until the board gets a successor in place.
My whole life has been about my family and about Microsoft. And I do relish the idea that I'll have another chapter, a chapter two, if you will, of my life where I'll get to sort of experience other sides of life, learn more about myself, all of that, but it's not like I leave with a specific plan in mind.
Q: Single biggest thing you are proud you did at Microsoft. You can just pick one:
Ballmer: I'm proud of being I would say a significant part even of the birth of intelligent personal computing, the notion that people use computing technologies, whether that's phones, PCs. I mean, we kind of birthed that over the course of the '80s and the '90s, and that's had such an unbelievable impact on people's lives. I would say a billion plus people and now more with phones, even if they're not all our phones, I'm very proud of what we've accomplished there.
If I had to sort of couple it, I'm very proud that we were able to make this incredible impact on the planet and at the same time do a good job for our shareholders.
Q: Your biggest regret?
Ballmer: Oh, you know, I've actually had a chance to make a lot of mistakes, and probably because, you know, people all want to focus in on period A, period B, but I would say probably the thing I regret most is the, what shall I call it, the loopedy-loo that we did that was sort of Longhorn to Vista. I would say that's probably the thing I regret most. And, you know, there are side effects of that when you tie up a big team to do something that doesn't prove out to be as valuable.
For more, check out Part 2 of my convo with Ballmer (and Thompson). We talk CEO succession planning, why Microsoft doesn't want to 'just' be an IBM and more.

Apple's cheaper and not so cheap iPhone explained (FAQ)

Apple's cheaper and not so cheap iPhone explained (FAQ)
A
cheaper iPhone on top of a normal iPhone upgrade now seems inevitable,
but what's the big deal? And a champagne color? Really?! CNET explains.
For all its talk of doubling down on secrecy,
Apple's efforts to keep its upcoming iPhones under wraps seems all for
naught. Over the past few weeks there have been a flurry of photos of
both plastic and metal iPhones that may or may not be (but probably are)
its next-generation devices. Most notable is that it looks very much like Apple's going to introduce not one but two new iPhones for the first time since the device first hit the market in 2007. That could have a big impact on Apple's fortunes, as well as the types of users it has gone after all these years.
Here's a quick guide for your most essential questions about both devices.
Renderings of a gold or champagne colored iPhone 5S from Shop Le Monde.
Two new iPhones: both a lower-cost model and a new top of the line model. Those devices are said to be debuting at an event on September 10, presumably in San Francisco or at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, where past unveilings have taken place.
What's different about the low cost one?
This model, rumored to be called the "iPhone 5C," will sport a plastic back instead of metal. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster also recently suggested that Apple might carve out a feature or two, namely Siri, Apple's built-in voice assistant software.
However, the key difference will be price, not so much the what people pay with a multi-year contract from their carrier, but what the phone costs up front. We get into that a bit more lower down.
What's different about the new high-end model?
Leaks suggest Apple plans to offer the "iPhone 5S" in more colors, notably a "gold" or "champagne" color. The device is also said to sport a better camera with a dual-LED flash and a home button that can scan your finger -- something that's likely going to be used for security features.
Other expected specs include a 128GB storage option and a jump to a 64-bit processor, which could speed things up.

Yes, the iPhone 3G and 3GS came in white and black plastic (see image to the right). Apple switched to glass with 2010's iPhone 4, resulting in a flat back that was substantially thinner, but could also shatter just as badly as the screen on the other side.
Where's the proof of either of these devices that I can look at?
There haven't been any fully functional devices, but there have been heaps of photos of the back casing for both phones. By pure volume there have been more shots of the so-called iPhone 5C and its plastic back, which has popped up in a handful of places and suggested Apple's planning to have brightly-colored devices, akin to what Nokia's been doing on its Lumia series phones.
One of the earliest leaks came in April by case maker Tactus, which posted a shot alleging to be the back chassis of a white, plastic iPhone.
In late June, one of the first shots of what might just be the iPhone 5S cropped up on MacRumors, showing off some of the internal changes to components, and the outside change like the dual flash.

Why would Apple want to launch a second iPhone now?
The simple reason? Competition, and lots of it. Apple's getting hit on multiple fronts by rivals releasing myriad variations of phones, often several times a year. One of the biggest is Samsung, which has expanded its Galaxy line from phones to tablets and even smartphone camera hybrids. Not all of those are hits, but some, like the Note -- a cross between a tablet and a phone -- turned out to be a success.
Want a phone that's also a point and shoot camera with a zoom lens? Samsung makes that.

CNET)
For years, one bright spot has been that Apple makes more money on its phones than any other company, something that remains the case.
What do iPhones cost right now?
In the U.S. you can get an iPhone 5 for $199, $299, and $399 with a 2-year contract from a wireless carrier. The contract-free prices for those devices is considerably higher at $649, $749 and $849 for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models respectively.
The price can vary considerably by country. In places like Italy, Norway, and Belgium, top-of-the-line iPhones off-contract can cost hundreds of dollars more than they do in the U.S.
How much would this this less-expensive iPhone cost?
An analysis from Morgan Stanley back in June suggested Apple could come in between $349 to $399. That's $50 to $100 less than what Apple's charging for the iPhone 4 right now.
How does that stack up compared to some rival devices?
In China, where a lower cost iPhone is expected to make waves, Morgan Stanley notes that the top models from companies like Coolpad, Huawei, Lenovo, and ZTE run about $405. The firm contends that Chinese consumers would be willing to pay a higher $486 for a lower-priced iPhone, based on poll of 2,000 Chinese mobile phone owners in June this year.
But some think Apple needs to go a bit lower.
"What they need to do is capture the markets that are growing and that tend not to have a carrier subsidized phone," says Wayne Lam, a senior analyst of wireless communications at IHS iSuppli. "At about 1,500 to 2,000 Yuan, which is roughly 300 bucks, that would be compelling."
How will Apple cut costs on a cheaper model?
A big part of trimming costs is using plastic, which can be simpler to mold and contour than Apple's current go-to of aluminum. Take the iPhone 5 as an example. Apple had to build windows in the back of the phone for wireless signals to make it through the metal. That won't be an issue with a plastic iPhone, and could actually cut the cost of the mechanical parts by around half from $33 to $16, Morgan Stanley's research suggests.
There are other ways to cut costs, specifically using slightly less cutting edge components, something Apple's done with the cameras and other bits found in the iPod Touch and iPad Mini.
Wait, couldn't a cheaper model torpedo sales of Apple's other models?
Yes, but the big question is how much. Piper's Munster is expecting a 25 percent rate of cannibalization into standard iPhone sales, which is down big from the firm's original estimate of 50 percent.
That's a big deal because Apple makes fatter margins on its high-end phones, charging consumers around $100 for a storage upgrade that's estimated to cost the company only around $10 to $20 more. When you're selling more of something that costs less, but doesn't cost much less to produce, it's not quite as lucrative as those higher margin models.
Apple, in the past, has attempted to assuage such concerns by saying that cannibalization is actually a "huge opportunity."
"Our core philosophy is to never fear cannibalization. If we don't do it, someone else will," Apple CEO Tim Cook told Wall Street analysts on an earnings call back in January when discussing the iPad mini. "We know that iPhone has cannibalized some of our iPod business. That doesn't worry us." Someone who buys an iPhone or iPad might also buy another Apple product, Cook added.
Why are people freaking out about Apple doing a second iPhone?
That's a good question. The company has a long history of expanding its product lines after something becomes successful. Most recently that was with last year's iPad mini. Apple's also done it with the iPod to iPod Mini, and PowerBook to iBook before that.
Perhaps it's best explained by pointing out that Apple has only ever done one new iPhone a year for the past six models. That makes any deviation noteworthy, even if it turns out to be mundane.
Something we missed? Leave it in the comments and we'll try to address it.

McLaren 12C: Hunting the Italians
McLaren's first road car in decades has a tough job to do - it's got to take on Ferrari, Lamborghini and co. Does it have what it takes?
Laren is a name steeped in history. Racing successes and world-record-smashing cars make up its past, but the 12C is an indication of its future. And it's looking pretty rosy.
Fresh off the back of a collaboration with Mercedes on the SLR hypercar, McLaren decided it wanted to build a world-beating supercar. Something to make Ferrari and its ilk run for the hills in fear. It would have to be light, fast, comfortable, and good-looking. It would have to be absolutely perfect.
Thankfully, using techniques refined over years of road and race car practice, the 12C is an utterly stunning piece of machinery.
A fusion of style and substance is something that many try for, but rarely manage -- the 12C appears to have nailed it. Its carbon-fibre tub, which takes only a few hours to manufacture, is a thing of beauty. Its exposed weave greets you as you enter the car and gives you a hint as to the 12C's true capability.nside you sit low and to the centre of the car. The vertical dash stack takes a bit of getting used to, but the car's ICE hub almost winks at you and gives you the impression that what you're about to experience is nothing short of brilliance.
Prod the starter button and 3.8 litres of V8 makes itself known not only to you, but to whoever happens to be within a 5-mile radius. It's not subtle, this thing. Its turn of pace is unbelievable, and mostly unusable outside of a track/Germany. No matter; McLaren's engineers have made a car that's comfy pootling about town (while making all manner of noise) or haring along some twisty bits of Wales.
It steers incredibly, giving you all manner of feedback that most mortals (me included) will probably never be able to decipher. It's been precision engineered to be the best car you'll ever drive.
And this, with the arrival of the P1 Hypercar and no doubt many more in the coming years, is just the start for McLaren Automotive.
The 12C's job is to make people's "must-drive" lists. It's got to be the car that people want to drive, want to love. It's got to be the car that some would die to own, or even drive for a second or two. No, McLaren doesn't have the heritage of some of its competitors, but what it has got is expertise.
Bring it.
