Edge computing solutions are key tools that help companies grapple with rising data volumes across industries. These types of solutions are critical in allowing companies to gain more control over the data their IoT devices create and in reducing their reliance on (and the costs of) cloud computing. These systems are becoming more sought-after — 40% of companies that provide IoT solutions reported that edge computing came up more in discussion with customers in 2017 than the year before, according to Business Insider Intelligence’s 2017 Global IoT Executive Survey. But companies need to know whether they should look into edge computing solutions, and what in particular they can hope to gain from shifting data processing and analysis from the cloud to the edge.

Elizabeth Holmes trial: What's going on with the Theranos founder after 'The Inventor'

The federal government is taking Elizabeth Holmes to court. As you probably know by now, she was the founder and CEO of Theranos, the blood-testing startup featured in the HBO doc The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (as well as a book, podcast, and, soon, a feature film starring Jennifer Lawrence). Also being charged is former Theranos president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani.  The pair has already been tried in the court of public opinion.

You can clean your AirPods using rubbing alcohol and some household items as long as you're careful. You probably wouldn't wear the same outfit day after day without tossing it in the laundry, just like you wouldn't eat off of the same fork without washing it.

While that test did not include Apple's AirPods, it's still in your best interest to keep yours clean. See below for tips and tricks on how to clean your AirPods. Be careful to avoid getting liquid in any of the AirPods' openings, especially the charging ports, since they're no

Release the report, AG Barr, if only for the SNL sketch potential.  Read more...
