Alphabet's Waymo self-driving car firm sues Otto and Uber for stealing key technology
OMG, Ubber and Otto stole Waymo?
First of all, WTF is the world coming to with these company names? lol
Secondly, Google's case is weak at best. Google will lose this case against Ubber and Otto.
It looks like Google is very sloppy with its IP to let a departing employee easily copy and leave with data.
Companies like Google normally have a "nothing comes in, nothing leaves" employee working policy and they enforce it by design of the work environment.
Levandowski and friends probably did not steal anything. They worked on the project, they know how it works and they are not under NDA so they can redo it from scratch.
Don't feel bad for Google because they are being served some of their own medicine.
Google did much worse to PayPal in order to create Google Wallet aka Android Pay.

Google also bought Android from Andy Ruben after Andy learned enough tricks working at Apple to create Android.
Google ended up stealing Java from Oracle and use legal tricks to this day o avoid paying a dime to Oracle.
So now if Otto does the same thing to Google, so be it.

Tim Cook says AR is a 'big idea,' likens tech to smartphone
Check out this presentation... The applications are limitless...
Apple bought Metaio in May 2015.
Take a look at the software / infrastructure stack starting at 4:32 in the video, it fits very nicely into Apple's software / infrastructure.

Is Apple getting Siri-ous in the face of Amazon's Alexa Echo?
Amazon echo is over rated. I think it will fade in time.
Amazon people who have never used voice assistance will be impressed for a while with Alexa.
Time will tell.
