Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.
Netflix launched a new thing this weekend...
Over the weekend Netflix launched a new app for Google's VR headset, Daydream. Continue your binge from the comfort of a Netflix's virtual living room and enormous TV screen. 📺
Virtual Reality headsets like Gear VR and Daydream may not be in the same league as the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, but make for an excellent passive viewing experience. For under $100 you can watch your favorite movies and shows from your own virtual IMAX Theater.
With startups like Wolfprint 3D creating realistic avatars of people and multiplayer 3D movie theaters like CINEVR, we're not far away from going to the movies with friends from all across the world, virtually.
Companies are even bringing native advertising to virtual reality. 😅

Secret is back! Sort of. 👥📝
Secret co-founder David Byttow is bringing anonymity back into the spotlight with IO, a new lightweight writing tool that allows you to publish your thoughts anonymously, or as yourself (by logging in via Twitter).
The controversial anonymous app, Secret, may have elicited naughty quips, but IO is designed for deeper thoughts, focused on the words, not the person that wrote them.
Oh, and as a writing tool, it's stunning, with cool features built-in like a Hemingway assistant, slash commands, and ambience sounds.👌

Snapchat vs. Google vs. Pee World VR 🏆

Google leads in Tech, while Tesla has the top two spots locked-down for Breakthrough Product of the Year.
The WTF product winner should be very clear (🅿️🌍 VR).
Both the Mobile and Desktop categories are great for discovering new apps you may have missed.
One of the iMessage app nominees was 💀🔪 by Apple a few weeks ago.
The Bots category is lively and the closest race that we've seen.

Can the human body be hacked? 🤔
Biohacking is a fast-growing movement around the idea that the human body is a system that can be quantified, manipulated, and optimized using engineering techniques.
We asked Geoff Woo, the founder and CEO of Nootrobox (a company that makes nootropics and chewable coffee cubes) which products he recommends for people who are getting started with biohacking. Here's what he had to say:
Gyroscope is my go-to quantified self app that collates all sorts of biometric information from my computer productivity to my geolocation hotspots.
Cardiogram is my go-to app for tracking my heart rate. It's a default complication on the face of my Apple Watch.
uBiome is a simple way to track the bacterial changes in your body. There's up to 10x as many bacteria cells as human cells in our bodies!
Check out Geoff's recommendations and learn more about the biohacking movement on tonight's episode of Shark Tank at 9 pm PST.
