Asus to make its own Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality glasses.

Taiwanese PC and smartphone maker Asus is considering building its own version of Microsoft HoloLens holographic computer, Cnet reports. Asus chairman and head of Microsoft Windows and devices revealed to the news site that the Taiwan-based company is in talks with the Washington-based firm for an Asus Hololens headset, which may cost less to consumers as against the $3000 price tag currently on the developer's version, the prototype.

Microsoft is ready to team up with any PC maker on a version of its Hololens computer but Asus chairman Jonney Shih says he's "still evaluating" what form any potential Asus augmented-reality glasses will take.'' If Asus eventually makes its own version of Microsoft Hololens augmented reality glasses, it would be the first PC maker outside the shores of America to do so.

Microsoft HoloLens, which will ship to developers in 2016, is an augmented reality headset that allows you to interact with 3D objects in the real-world as you would on your computer screen. - See more at: http://www.wearobo.com/2015/10/asus-to-make-its-microsoft-hololens.html#sthash.Lr5uZ6K0.dpuf

Workato Chat Bot Brings Enterprise Workflow Into Slack

As we head into 2016, enterprise chat applications like Slack are suddenly a hot commodity, and if you’re inside chat a good portion of the day the argument goes, you should be able to access other work without leaving the chat client. This is exactly what Workato’s newly announced chat bot, Workbot, is designed to do. Chat bots are small programs that integrate with a chat platform and provide some advanced type of functionality in a fairly easy fashion. The new Workbot-chat bot enables users to access and control over 100 enterprise applications such as a Salesforce CRM record, Quickbooks accounting information or Zendesk customer service interactions directly inside of Slack. One of the primary issues with early Enterprise 2.0 tools was that they were just another application busy employees needed to pay attention to. The idea here is to give users customer information directly in the context of the discussion they may be having...

Visa confirms Coinbase wasn’t at fault for overcharging users

Yesterday, we wrote that Coinbase customers were being charged multiple times for past transactions. While some speculated that the erroneous withdraws were down to a Coinbase engineering issue, Coinbase issued a statement saying it wasn’t liable for the duplicate charges. The blame, instead, rested with Visa for the way it handled a migration of merchant categories for cryptocurrencies, Coinbase said. While you can read my post yesterday for an in-depth description of what happened, the basic gist is that Visa refunded and recharged (under a different merchant category) a month of old transactions. Many users saw the recharge come through before the refund processed, making it look like they were double charged. Honestly, the issue was likely exacerbated by existing payment rails — it’s normal for refunds to take multiple days to show up on credit and debit statements. But here’s where it gets weird — this morning Visa issued a statement to some publications shifting the blam...

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a downloadable version of Remix OS that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town. Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from a post in the Remix OS Google Group , altho...
