| Advertisement Good morning! Here's the tech news you need to know to start your week. 1. Samsung has unveiled the first computer monitor that can also wirelessly charge a smartphone. The display's wireless charging feature works with all mobile devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard. 2. A Chinese venture capital firm has launched a $5 billion fund targeting Western tech companies. The South China Morning Post reports that GSR Capital will "target international investment opportunities in industries that include clean energy, bio-pharmaceutics and life sciences, bulk commodity, traditional and internet finance, and wireless communication." 3. LinkedIn has reintroduced a feature that lets users download contact details instantly. The professional social network recently removed it in favor of a more comprehensive download tool that took up to 72 hours, but the change was met with a huge outcry. 4. People are clearly worried that Apple's "golden goose" is in trouble. Despite beating expectations for revenue this quarter, the Cupertino company's stock tanked globally because of concerns about the number of iPhones sold. 5. Wal-Mart is losing the war with Amazon. The online giant now has a bigger market cap than the brick-and-mortar retail chain, following a strong Q2 earnings report. 6.

It claims to be significantly faster than the Tor network, but The Daily Dot cautions that it hasn't yet been subjected to peer review. 7. Fantasy sports company DraftKings has raised $300 million. The funding is led by 21st Century Fox's Fox Sports unit, according to Re/code, and values the company at $1.2 billion (£770 million). 8. Twitter is deleting stolen jokes on copyright grounds. The social network will remove unoriginal tweets if the original poster complains. 9. Fiat Chrysler has recalled 1.4 million vehicles after hackers were able to remotely shut off a Jeep in the middle of traffic. The vulnerabilities were first highlighted in a report by Wired. 10. YouTube reportedly pays its most popular stars more money to keep them from jumping ship to online video rivals like Facebook. "I want to be running a platform that they can stay on, that they can grow up on and extend their work even further," YouTube chief Susan Wojcicki told The Wall Street Journal in an interview. |
