Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.
A L E X A 👏 W O N 👏 C E S 👏
Alexa conquered CES this year. Amazon's operating system for the home will be in appliances, adorable robots, and even cars in 2017. Voice may be the dominate way we interact with our devices over the coming years, and Amazon is leading (and actively taking an open approach to grow the ecosystem).
In other news, the cars of the future will be lit (literally). Faraday Future showed off the fastest electric car in the world, while Toyota may have watched one-too many Sci-Fi movies.
Other than Alexa, the biggest trend at CES has to be smart everything. A smart trashcan, stove, hairbrush, toothbrush, men's underwear, energy monitor are just a few.

High-tech undies that protect men's privates 🍒
CES continues as companies show off their latest AI-powered doodads in Las Vegas. Yesterday, we were introduced to a smart toothbrush that turns brushing into a game, LG’s talkative fridge, and a slightly creepy robot for your kids.
But what’s most important is health. Thankfully, this French startup is here to protect man’s gentles with Spartan Underwear, high-tech undies that keep your manhood safe from cell phone radiation (FINALLY!). 🍒

RIP 2016 📱😪
Sadly, we lost a lot of wonderful and talented people this year - Prince, David Bowie, Mohammad Ali, Carrier Fisher, George Michael. We are thankful for all they contributed to the world.
Much like the cycle of life, apps also have a lifecycle - so we wanted to pay our respect to some of the apps that we said good-bye to in 2016 and thank the teams that introduced them into the world:
• Mailbox and Sunrise, you will NEVER be forgotten
• Meerkat, your spirit lives on 🏠🎉
• Stolen and Famous, in your 15 minutes you lived a lifetime
• Facebook Paper and Notify, we wish we knew you better
• Tay, your sister Zo has a lot to live up to
• Washio the City needs you please come back
ThinkUp, Talkshow, Summize, Blab, Parse!! 2016 has not been kind. Apps can be replaced, MagSafe alternatives can be found, but we will never ever get over your loss; rest in peace 3.5mm Headphone Jack.
