Casio’s Ring Watch is available online after being sold out for months (update: sold out)

Remark raises $16M to build out human-powered expert models for e-commerce

Startups working on AI-powered e-commerce tools often rely on external data or user signals to build and improve their models.

The Running Man trailer: Edgar Wright adds comedy to Stephen King's sci-fi dystopia

Edgar Wright is remaking The Running Man, and there's a trailer to prove it . Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 classic imagined a dystopian 2025 in which an authoritarian government forced cruelty on incarcerated people for entertainment.

Jay Dickman/Getty Images I remember when I started using Linux in the late 1990s. Back then, using the command line wasn't optional.

The ancestor of living vertebrates could likely detect red, purple, blue and green — an ability that was ma
