Samsung Gear Live retired ahead of Google I/O

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

That Samsung Gear Live on your wrist is already a tech relic, having been released back in June of last year and all. And on the cusp of Google I/O later this month, it looks as if the wearable is being retired for good in an effort to make way for some fancy new smartwatches. That’s our guess, anyway.

Samsung’s device is no longer listed among the handful of Android Wear watches on Google’s store, which means exactly what you think it means: the old device can’t be purchased anymore—at least from Google. If you’re really desperate, I’m sure you can track one down on eBay or some such retailer.

The signs were there; after disappearing from a number of international markets, the final death knell for the U.S. market has been sounded. It’s probably for the best, too, since the wearable was getting up there in age. Samsung supposedly has a major smartwatch refresh on the way, so we’ll be on the lookout for that.

As of now, you can purchase the Moto 360, ASUS ZenWatch, Sony SmartWatch 3, LG Watch Urbane, and the G Watch R from Google’s store.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch?

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! With a growing demand for efficiency and accuracy, comes a growing demand for stellar data scientists. In fact, as of March 2015, there are over 60,000 job postings for data scientists on LinkedIn , and over 250,000 people listing data science as their profession. From weeding through and analyzing relevant data, to predicting future consumer behavior, data scientists are often expected to be the experts on everything.
