Amazon.com gets physical (with a brick and mortar store, that is)

Amazon.com is the king of online retail. In 2013, Amazon reported just shy of $75 billion in sales. That’s the equivalent of every man, woman, child, and newborn on the planet shelling out a little more than ten bucks to Amazon in a single year. With statistics like these, it’s no wonder that Amazon.com’s recent […]

MIT is developing smarter maps

Google Street View is already somewhat of a revelation. The ability to see 360-degree images of millions of locations around the world is something we couldn’t have even imagined a generation ago.

If you see a red octagonal sign with bold, white type at an intersection, it’s a pretty safe bet that you’re supposed to come to a complete stop. You don’t need to speak the language. Your eyes don’t need to be sharp enough to read “S-T-O-P.” You don’t need to have any other information. That’s […]
