Gadget Ogling: Swimming Aids, Drinks Fixers, and Sleep Rings
As an occasional swimmer, I'd like a better way of monitoring how well
I'm doing. It's not so easy to use a stopwatch on my phone in the pool
as it is while out for a jog. So, Misfit is looking to bring wearables
to the water with a new version of its Shine activity tracker, developed
with Speedo. The Speedo Shine apparently can monitor your progress on
laps across all types of strokes.

Spotify's 'Sorry' Fails to Cut Through Confusion
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek on Friday issued a public apology for poor
communications regarding the company's new privacy policy. The new
policy, which took effect Wednesday, immediately triggered alarm.
Several tech publications railed against the terms, and Minecraft
creator Markus Persson engaged Spotify CEO Daniel Ek in a Twitter debate
that ended with Persson and others quitting the music service.

Mum Robot Goes Darwinian on Her Kids
A "mother" robot has demonstrated natural selection and the process of
evolution in action, according to researchers from the University of
Cambridge. Scientists typically have to go back in time to study
evolution -- it's rarely observable over the course of a human lifetime.
However, for robots and artificial intelligence, it's a different story.
