GoPro goes cheap in a bid for more market. It's The Daily Crunch

THE DAILY CRUNCH
THURSDAY, MARCH 29 2018 By Darrell Etherington

GoPro goes for entry-level consumers, 1Password wants to help the pwned and Snap sobers up to reality. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for March 29, 2018.

1. GoPro tries again

GoPro is trying to get consumer interest back with a new $199 camera that ditches 4K but keeps video stabilization and water resistance.

It's an attractive option, but maybe too attractive – it's hard to say who'll want the more pricey options with this around.

2. 1Password now lets you check if you've been pwned

Smart partnership: Now you can check if a password has been pwned (aka exposed in a leak) right in the most popular password manager in the world.

3. Snap sees layoffs

Snap's laying off a significant number of people in advertising and sales. The Snapchat parent co. is learning what it's like to be responsible to public shareholders the hard way.

4. France wants to be an AI hub

France and every other country that wants to build a high-tech, high income, highly educated economy and workforce. Join the club.

5. Pinterest adds new follower focus tab

I feel like Pinterest neither grows nor contracts – it just always has been and always is. But they're iterating on the product, for what it's worth.

6. Terry Myerson is leaving Microsoft

Longtime Microsoft employee Terry Myerson is leaving the company, which marks the end of an era. It's part of a larger re-org at Microsoft that sees greater emphasis on AI and Azure.
