The Morning After: The SEC sued Elon Musk

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

We'll wrap up this week with a look at some of the mirrorless cameras from Photokina 2018, plus in-depth looks at what we've seen over the last 20 years from Google. Also, there's some bad news waiting for Elon.

'Bigger and better in every way that counts.'Apple Watch Series 4 review: Small tweaks make a big impact

The entry-level, 40m Apple Watch Series 4 starts at $399 -- $70 more than the model it replaces. Ultimately, though, all the little improvements have made a lasting impact on the overall Apple Watch experience. The combination of a more powerful processor and thoughtful, feature-rich software makes the Series 4 the most capable wearable around. Solid battery life and potentially life-saving new heart tracking features only sweeten the deal.

There are already plenty of great ones in stores right now, such as Sony's A7 III, but Photokina brought us more mirrorless cameras to look forward to. Let's take a peek at the best of them.

20 years in, search is everywhere.Just Google it: The journey from search to desktop OS

Google has eyed your desktop since before Chrome OS. It developed the ill-fated (and curiously named) Desktop, which was basically the company's take on the Windows Sidebar and worked on Linux, Mac and PCs. As the search engine continued to evolve and people came to rely on it more, it began to amass a wealth of information to become even more intuitive. This laid the foundation for features like Assistant, which is sort of a personification of the search engine.

As Search continues to evolve, it's not difficult to imagine a day when Chrome OS, powered by a highly intuitive Assistant, becomes a desktop operating system that rivals Windows or Mac.

Musk called the lawsuit 'unjustified action.'SEC sues Elon Musk for 'funding secured' tweet about taking Tesla private

The US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday. It alleges that Musk's tweets in August about having "funding secured" for a potential bid to take the company private constitute fraud for being "false and misleading statements." What's more, the lawsuit seeks to ban Musk from serving as an officer of any public company. The Tesla board issued a statement in support of Musk, while the CEO said "Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way."

Sadly, for every Gmail and Maps, there are ten projects that felt the swing of the Mountain View ax. Sometimes these doomed projects have outlived their usefulness, didn't catch on with the public or just didn't work as they should have.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

By Liam McCabe This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter . When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
