As clues go, it's pretty obvious. 5. Sony announces the PlayStation Classic, its own mini retro console The PlayStation Classic's lineup will feature 20 classic games, including Final Fantasy VII Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms. 6. The Gap Table: Women own just 9 percent of startup equity A new study from Carta and the ex-Twitter female investor group #Angels reveals that women make up 35 percent of startup equity-holding employees, yet own just 20 percent of the equity. 7. Google's Work Insights helps businesses better understand how they work The new product gives businesses more insights into how their employees use the company's G Suite productivity tools and how teams collaborate using those tools. |
