This holiday season Android Authority conducted its third annual review of the latest Android smartphones to hit the market. Managing Editor Nirave Gondhia explains which devices made the cut. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro was crowned Android Authority's smartphone winner of 2017. "We found that it's not a phone that is best in one category, it's a phone that is best overall," said Gondhia. Just a couple points behind the Huawei device was Samsung's Galaxy Note 8. While the two devices are in similar price categories, Gondhia says the Huawei Mate 10 Pro was stronger across the board of tests conducted. The company's pick for "best bang for your buck" is the One Plus 5T. Google Pixel XL 2 earned the people's choice award for best camera.

Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
