Morning Tech Crawl: Bezos talks, AMD's new GPU and Xiaomi bets on Microsoft
Happy Wednesday, Austin! Here's what tech blogs are buzzing about this morning:
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos didn't disappoint those looking for quotable tidbits yesterday at Recode's Code Conference. He weighed in on Peter Thiel's campaign against Gawker, why the Echo is becoming a larger part of Amazon's business and how the company decides what's not working. He also thinks we may someday build processors on another planet.
A few weeks after Nvidia's big Geforce 1080 announcement, AMD debuted its RX 480 GPU, which will provide VR-capable power for around $200. We'll have lots more about AMD and VR this week, keep an eye on the site.
More big moves in Chinese electronics: Xiaomi will begin including Skype and Microsoft Office on some of its Android-based products in a deal with Microsoft.
Speaking of Microsoft, the company plans to allow manufacturers to build HoloLens mixed VR/AR devices instead of only building them itself.
