Jeff Bezos beats out Bill Gates to become world’s richest person..!!

Ahead of its earnings later today, Amazon stock hit an all-time high during intraday trading and with it CEO Jeff Bezos’ estimated wealth hit $90.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. This number pushes the net worth of the Amazon founder past that of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, still sitting pretty with $90.7 billion, earning Bezos the title of world’s richest person.

Bezos ending the day as the world’s richest depends on Amazon (and Microsoft) stock holding steady. After the bell, Amazon will report its second-quarter earnings. Today’s jump in share price comes even as investors are expecting Amazon to announce a decline in year-over-year profits today, though the Street also expects revenues to skyrocket 22 percent to $37.2 billion.

Amazon has been riding high over the past year as its ambitions to offer an alternative to the world of brick-and-mortar retail has shifted into one that may completely upend it. In December, the company unveiled its Amazon Go concept stores, a move that made a lot more sense after it made its bid last month to acquire grocer Whole Foods for $13.7 billion.

Amazon’s market cap currently sits at $513 billion. Bezos own about 17 percent of the company. In addition to running Amazon, Bezos also owns the Washington Post and is starting a rocket company called Blue Origins.

DrinkMate: iPhone Breathalyzer [REVIEW]

ast year during one of Tech.co’s startup tour events I stumbled upon an entrepreneurial duo showing off a very small piece of hardware. That piece of hardware was an Android-connected breathalyzer called the DrinkMate. It was so small in fact that it may even be the smallest one on the market.

At the time they only supported Android, but shortly after the event they launched a Kickstarter campaign for an iOS compatible version. Four days after the launch of the campaign they hit their goal, and nearly tripled it at completion. Needless to say I was intrigued, backed the campaign, and six months later I have the device in hand.

Boring Motorola is making smartphones exciting again..!!

Smartphones are exciting again.

Like all products that reach maturity, modern smartphones as we know them today — rectangle glass touchscreen slabs — have become boring. Each new device iteration usually brings modest feature upgrades and industrial designers are playing it safe. Just look at the OnePlus 5: It's not even trying to hide its iPhone 7 Plus-like looks.

It's felt for some time like there wouldn't be much more meaningful innovation to come, but now we have a contender to shake things up.

Google Pixel 2: Everything we know..

With its superb camera and elegant design, the Google Pixel (and its larger counterpart, Pixel XL) phone hit it out of the park last year. So it's no surprise that Google wants to keep the good times rolling with its pair of premium flagships. The company's hardware chief, Rick Osterloh, already confirmed that a follow-up is coming this year, and while he didn't say exactly when, we'd guess it'll launch some time in October, a year after the Pixel was born.
We don't know much about the next Pixel (unofficially known as the Pixel 2), but rumors say that it'll have a slimmer design and an even better camera.  Until its unveiling, however, we've gathered all the facts and rumors we know about the phone so far. Be sure to check back as more information rolls out; we'll keep the updates coming.
The Pixel 2 will have improvements all around

As new camera tech and improved chipsets become available, the next generation of phones will likely be better than the last. Some specific rumors about an improved Pixel 2 speculate that the phone will be water-resistant, and have a camera that's packed with more features. Google will also likely outfit it with a faster processor, though we're unsure from where. It's believed the company is testing out processors from Qualcomm, Intel and possibly the Taiwanese chipset maker MediaTek.
