If a phone can fully understand its environment, this opens up a whole new world of opportunity for developers as well as advertisers and marketers-just think of all the cool new ways you could start interacting with apps or ads. I'm at the IBMEdge conference this week, and one of the topics that came up at lunch today was how robotics are going to dramatically change how and when we buy goods and consume services. It is really going to seem like a strange new world where we may never need to drive to work, go to the store, or physically do a lot of the jobs that people do today. Last summer, Microsoft shook up their Windows design with the release of Windows 10. They offered the update to users for free for a year, giving everyone the opportunity to try out the new design. When it was first released, there were quite a few issues that needed fixing. Over time, though, these problems were resolved and eventually more and more people got the confidence to download the update. Since then, there has been what seems like a never ending narrative surrounding Windows 10-some people hate it, and others love it; I fall into the latter category. Now, to commemorate the one year anniversary of the release, Microsoft has unveiled the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Voting in the 2016 elections may be under threat from hacking, with the FBI worried about interference by a foreign power.

This month the skies became fuller with Earth observation satellites. Google added four new SkySat satellites on September 15, while Planet added eight more Doves to its collection this month. Both companies are building large constellations that will provide near round-the-clock coverage of the Earth's surface, feeding the imagery into huge databases for numerous commercial and not-for-profit ventures. Over the past two years, Apple has been seriously looking into entering the connected car industry, attempting to build its own electric vehicle that can drive itself. It seems that the tech giant is considering both internal and external options as they move further into this process. Apple has reportedly entered into preliminary talks with McLaren, the British maker of luxury cars, about some form of an acquisition that would give Apple access to much greater resources as it continues its foray into the automobile industry.
