Since a self-driving Uber killed a pedestrian in March, the company’s executives have been divided over the future of its autonomous vehicle efforts.

Netflix doesn't want us to call commercials "commercials." The very foundations of the internet shook this weekend when users on Reddit reported that Netflix dared whisper the dreaded C-word. No, not that one. The other one. No, the OTHER other one. Users reported that their beloved binges were interrupted by commercials between episodes for Netflix content that could, theoretically, interest an individual based on the mighty algorithm that runs the streaming service and the world and will one day surely turn us all into Cybermen.

Apple has removed 25,000 of gambling and lottery apps from its App Store in China, state-owned media China Central Television reported Monday (local time). The practices promoted by these apps, that are illegal per the local law, have caused "economic damage to its users," the outlet added. The company confirmed that it had pulled thousands of apps from the App Store in China, but did not comment on the exact figure. In a statement to WSJ, the company said...

It brought us services such as UberX, UberPool and UberPet. For millions of commuters worldwide, Uber has changed the face of transport, allowing people to find rides with an ease previously unheard of.

The United States has spent far more time obscuring its role in the Saudi-led war in Yemen than in explaining any rationale for it. By Micah Zenko.

Following a terrible month for aircraft deliveries, boss of the 737 programme has announced he will step down. Scott Campbell will take retirement following 30 years of service after failed Boeing 737 deliveries threaten to damage the company’s reputation. The Boeing 737 shortfall has never been worse. In July, they delivered just 39 commercial jets, of which 29 were single aisle aircraft. Is it a coincidence that the Boeing 737 boss steps down at the end of such a disastrous month? We think not.

More than one in four households have no emergency savings pot, a survey has suggested. Some 27 per cent of people in the UK said that, excluding pensions and insurance policies, they have no savings they can quickly access if needed. The UK figures are slightly higher than the European average at 26 per cent, according to the ING International Survey of 15 countries.

Broadband providers have spent years lobbying against utility-style regulations that protect consumers from high prices and bad service. But now, broadband lobby groups are arguing that Internet service is similar to utilities such as electricity, gas distribution, roads, and water and sewer networks. In the providers' view, the essential nature of broadband doesn't require more regulation to protect consumers. Instead, they argue that broadband's utility-like status is reason for the government to give ISPs more money.

Sales are falling and critics say the company lacks a direction, sometimes seeming to give priority to sales of gifts and tchotchkes over books.

Women who worked at Nike are suing over pay discrimination. Their demands are critical in a broader fight.

Tesla whistleblower Martin Tripp is tweeting internal emails, photos and vehicle identification numbers that he says are evidence of flawed manufacturing practices at Tesla's battery factory, and product sold by Tesla that is imperfect, and could put drivers' lives at risk. Tripp has, in previous interviews, said that Tesla's Gigafactory took dangerous manufacturing shortcuts, and that Elon Musk had direct knowledge of these and failed to intervene.

After more than a decade, the era of user-submitted reviews on Netflix has come to a close. The streaming giant has now removed every customer critique ever written, a move that comes a little more than a year after it did away with its five-star rating system in favor of a simple thumbs up/thumbs down approach. According to the company’s help page, “Netflix customers were able to leave reviews on Netflix.com until mid-2018, when reviews were removed due to declining use.” It may also be the case that negative reviews of movies, TV shows...

Continued strong sales inside “Grand Theft Auto Online” alongside strong ongoing demand for “Grand Theft Auto V,” helped publisher Take-Two Interactive Software beat Wall Street expectations for revenue in its first quarter of 2019 compared to the same time period last year. The company’s net review was $388 million compared to $418.2 million for the same quarter last year.

Concerns over Apple's elaborate efforts to reduce its tax bill are nothing new. The company — which hit a historic $1 trillion valuation this month— was punished in 2016 for a tax deal in Ireland, which the EU said amounted to illegal state aid. But a newly discovered tactic has reignited the debate about the company's tax contributions. The San Francisco Chronicle reported over the weekend that Apple is "aggressive in opposing tax assessors," public officials who determine the value of property for tax reasons.

Losses are mounting and cash is running short at MoviePass. Helios and Matheson (HMNY), the owner of the subscription movie service, posted a $126.6 million loss in the second quarter, dwarfing its $2.7 million loss in the year ago period. It lost $132.47 a share. The company's latest government filing also presented a picture of just how rapidly Helios and Matheson is spending money on the service.

A Swedish Muslim woman has won compensation after her job interview was ended when she refused a handshake. Farah Alhajeh, 24, was applying for a job as an interpreter when she declined to shake the hand of a male interviewer for religious reasons. She placed her hand over her heart in greeting instead. The Swedish labour court ruled the company had discriminated against her and ordered it to pay 40,000 kronor ($4,350; £3,420) in compensation.

Analysis If Americans want fast internet access, they need to tighten the screws on Big Cable, not give it yet more power. That is the conclusion – yet again – of another study into the the United States' broadband market, this time one lodged in opposition to a push by Big Cable lobbying group US Telecom to kill off a federal rule that enables smaller ISPs to compete against communications giants.

Tesla fans can buy branded t-shirts, jackets, hats and hoodie sweatshirts. Soon, they will also be able to buy Tesla "short shorts," according to a tweet from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in his seemingly never-ending war of words against investors betting against the company. Tesla did not immediately respond to an email seeking information on cost and when the "short shorts" will be available.

Three days after Elon Musk tweeted that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private, we still don't know who, if anyone, has agreed to provide the billions of dollars needed to buy out the company. But plaintiffs' lawyers aren't waiting any longer for Musk to provide more details. On Friday, stock trader Kalman Isaacs filed a class-action lawsuit arguing that Musk's Tuesday tweets constituted securities fraud. The lawsuit, first reported by Reuters, appears to be the first one claiming that Musk's Tuesday tweets violated federal securities law.

While Britain braces for its exit from the EU in March 2019, HSBC announced on Monday that seven of its Europe-focused offices will move from London to Paris early next year.

Earlier this week we reported on the impressive fact that Sony has sold over 500 million total PlayStation consoles since the original PlayStation debuted in 1994. That got me thinking about another titan in the industry with an even longer history. Nintendo has officially released sales data for all of its major hardware releases since the Famicom in 1983, so I did a little digging to see what kind of numbers they've piled up over the years and how they compare to Sony's.

Last month, Bloomberg reported that Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of the Washington Post, has accumulated a fortune worth $150 billion. That is the biggest nominal amount in modern history, and extraordinary any way you slice it. Bezos is the world’s lone hectobillionaire. He is worth what the average American family is, nearly two million times over. He has about 50 percent more money than Bill Gates, twice as much as Mark Zuckerberg...

Barnes & Noble said sales of books related to anxiety are up more than 25 percent through this past June from a year ago because "we may be living in an anxious nation."

Although times may be tough, wrought with political tension, "the good news is that book buyers across the country are also looking for solutions to their stress," she said.
