LAS VEGAS In Amazon Web Services, Amazon has built one of the world's most powerful computing networks to deliver more than $ 12 billion in revenue this year.

But the retail giant on Wednesday presented a stunning way to move data from large enterprise customer data centers to public cloud computing operations: through trucks.

DraftKings and FanDuel Agree to Merge

Fan Duel and Draft Kings are fantasy sports websites. They offer daily fantasy sports contests in football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, MMA, auto-racing and eSports for real cash prizes. These two companies are major competitors in their respective markets concerning daily fantasy sports. These two are major competitors like Coca Cola and Pepsi. This article tells us that the two competitors have decided to join forces for a better cause.

The two companies feel like they have spent so much time and money on advertisement instead of improving technicalities within their company. The two companies combined spent a little over 500 million dollars last year just on advertisement trying to build their own unique brand. Now that the two companies plan to merge, they will no longer need to spend as much money and time on advertisement. They will use all of that money and time innovating new ideas for their joint company. They will no longer have a major competitor so they can focus on giving the consumer the best product. Both companies have come out saying that they have one vision of where they want the joint company to go but haven't had the chance to invest in it. Saying that they have a lot of ideas, this should lead to great things for the company and the consumer.

This article shows us a whole lot about marketing. First off it shows us how these companies have spent a lot of their efforts on the promotion side of the target market. They no longer have to worry about a major competitor and are now able to focus on the product part of the target market. The joint company can now focus on their opportunities and strengths and not have to worry about weaknesses or threats very much. This move to combine companies will be very beneficial in being able to make money and give the customer a better product.

Can you imagine life without your smartphone?

         Most women in India will never own a cellphone due to their fathers or husbands forbidding it. It's not that smartphones are expensive or unavailable for purchase, but rather they allow new advances in technology that they believe should be reserved for men. Families in India tend to allocate all their assets and resources, even school education, for their sons, since the girls will eventually be married off to another family. One of the largest gender gaps in the world is in India, with only 28% of females owning smartphones. Out of the 30% of female internet users, only 9% of those females know how to do a simple internet search or send an email. On the other side of the world, these tasks are essential to living. As a college student, there's not a day that goes by where I don't use the internet to research a topic or send an email.

       India's largest cellphone brand company, Micromax has been trying to break the gender inequality and target women by creating affordable handsets and local-language operating systems. They are also projecting an increase in sales by promoting the safety of women, so that the men would buy the cell phones that are designed with a panic buttons to alert their family and the police in case a dangerous situation arises. These models are expected to launch in January. Norway's Telenor ASA also has a team that goes door to door in villages selling sim cards at an extremely cheap rate only if bought by a women. The purpose of this is to encourage men to allow their wife or daughters a cell phone, since it is offered for such a cheap amount. Another program called, Helping Women Get Online has been offering free access to the internet, tablets and smartphones through thousands of bicycles that go to several villages in India. They have also been teaching these women simple things they can do online and how to effectively use their resources.

Auto Makers Struggle with High-Tech Dashboard Screens

                   Traditional automakers such as Ford, Honda, Volvo, Toyota and General Motors are all struggling to produce and install succesful infotainment screens in their vehicles. The infotainment screens have a purpose to make their vehicle more technologically savvy and more attractive to todays consumer who are more centered around using technology to enhance their lives. The traditional automakers have all introduced these infotainment screens and made them almost a standard in some if not all their vehicles and have seen a substantial amount of softwares crashes and the technology not working how its meant to be.
                   Problems range from the consumers not being able to connect their phones via bluetooth to the infotainment software completely crashing and thus becoming inoperable. In order to combat all these failures, traditional automakers have begun to hire and look for more software developers in order to fix the bugs and create more advanced software that will add new features and make a strong comeback amongst consumers. The traditional automakers plan on making the software so that it can updated in order to constantly add new features  and keep customers satisfied.
                  All these technological bumps that the traditional automakers are facing can be tied to certain marketing concepts that we have learned in class. We can tie it to the product introduction part of the product cycle, where all this new technology is being presented and put into the vehicles but there are many issues along with it.
