Good morning, Austin. Here's what's going on in the tech world this morning.
Nearly two years after launching its same-day delivery service as an app, Amazon has taken it to the Web.
No one is sure why Amazon waited so long to let customers place orders for one- or two-hour delivery over the web. But whatever the reason, PrimeNow.com is up and running.
The service, which was previously only accessibly by downloading a mobile app, is available in Austin and two dozen other metro areas around the country.
Apple Inc.'s request to import and sell refurbished iPhones to the world's second largest mobile market has been rejected.
Apple is also seeking permission to open its first Indian retail stores. That decision is pending, but analysts say that bid doesn't look promising either.
With Intel reeling and preparing to cut 12,000 jobs, Re/code takes a look at its failed multi-billion dollar attempt to catch up in mobile.
The chip giant tried, but never gained traction in phones, and while it did make inroads in tablets, that market is shrinking. So now it's essentially giving up.
âSuffice it to say, they likely lost well over $10 billion betting on mobile chips that never really got them anywhere,â said Jackdaw Research analyst Jan Dawson.
