Following our deep dive on Apple’s WWDC news on Monday, here is our News Roundup episode for the week. We kick things off with a bunch of Uber news, much of it involving hiring and firing of executives and others, in a sign that Uber may finally be taking its cultural problems seriously. Secondly, we talk about Alphabet’s sale of its Boston Dynamics and Schaft robotics businesses to SoftBank. And third, we talk about two other bits of Apple news from later in the week: Apple’s launch of Business Chat, and news that it won’t include “gigabit” modems in its next iPhones. As usual, you'll find links to other relevant material in the show notes below: News stories we covered (Tech Narratives links unless otherwise noted): Uber fires Anthony Levandowski: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/05/30/?-uber-fires-anthony-levandowski-for-refusal-to-cooperate-in-lawsuit/ Uber hires Frances Frei: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/05/uber-hires-harvard-business-school-professor-to-help-with-culture-and-strategy/ Uber hires Bozoma Saint John: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/06/bozoma-saint-john-leaves-apple-music-to-become-ubers-chief-brand-officer/ Uber fires Asia business exec: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/07/uber-fires-exec-loses-bid-to-keep-doc-private-says-management-changes-coming/ Uber fires 20 as a result of investigation: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/06/?-uber-fires-20-and-takes-action-against-others-over-inappropriate-behavior/ Alphabet sells Boston Dynamics and Schaft to SoftBank: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/09/?-alphabet-sells-boston-dynamics-and-schaft-robotics-businesses-to-softbank/ Apple Business Chat: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/09/apple-announces-developer-preview-of-business-chat-for-imessage-customer-service/ Apple "gigabit" iPhones: https://www.technarratives.com/2017/06/09/apple-reported-to-hold-off-on-gigabit-modems-in-next-iphones/ Additionally: • Episode 85 was our deep dive on Uber – find it in your podcast app or on the site at: http://podcast.beyonddevic.es/2017/03/episode-85-ubers-ethical-vacuum-mac-vs-pc/ • Aaron mentioned a friend's article on compliance crises being a terrible thing to waste, and you can read it here: https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/publications/natural_resources_environment/Winter%202016/NRE_v030n03_feat02_Galli.pdf As ever, we welcome your feedback via Twitter (@jandawson / @aaronmiller), the website (podcast.beyonddevic.es), or email ([email protected]).
