Quick Glance: Amazon Tests Humanoid Robots in US Warehouse

Amazon has deployed a humanoid robot called Digit in a US warehouse trial to free up employees' time.

This is still a trial and the robots are prototypes, as Amazon wants to determine if they can work safely alongside human employees.

Scott Dresser of Amazon Robotics told the BBC, "It's an experiment to learn more about how we can use mobile robots and manipulators in our environment here at Amazon."

Amazon has faced criticism from workers' unions for its use of robots in warehouses, but these humanoid robots represent another step forward."

Lowe's did not experience any major negative impact from theft in terms of margin rate, according to the CEO.

Quick Glance: Black Friday Disappoints UK Shoppers

Sales in cash terms are expected to be on a par with 2022, but prices are higher due to inflation, meaning fewer items will be sold.

Online activity was flat and footfall at shopping destinations was down by more than 5%.

Black Friday is no longer a single-day event, but now starts in November and runs for several weeks.

Some retailers saw a slight uplift, but sales are only expected to increase by 0.4% over last year, according to analysis by GlobalData for Vouchercodes.co.uk.

Quick Glance: Amazon Execs Deliberately Altered Site for Increased Profits

Newly revealed sections of the Federal Trade Commission's complaint against Amazon show that company executives knowingly made changes to boost profits while harming consumers and sellers.

The complaint quotes internal Amazon documents and numerous unnamed Amazon officials as well as founder and former CEO Jeffrey Bezos.

The complaint states that Amazon's online storefront once prioritized relevant, organic search results.

Amazon has increased not only the number of advertisements it shows, but also the number of irrelevant junk ads, internally called 'defects'.

Cyber Monday Apple Watch Deals 2023: Almost Every Watch, Plus Some Accessories, Are on Sale

Quick Glance: iOS 17.1.2 Update for iPhone Expected This Week

Based on evidence in our website's analytics logs, Apple is expected to release iOS 17.1.2 this week.

iOS 17.1.2 should mainly focus on bug fixes, but it's unclear which issues will be addressed.

After some users continued to experience Wi-Fi issues on iOS 17.1.1, iOS 17.1.2 may include the same fix for Wi-Fi connectivity issues that Apple already included in the iOS 17.2 beta.

The release of iOS 16.1.2 occurred in the week after U.S. Thanksgiving last year, so there is precedent for a bug-fix update being released this week.

Why Walmart is trouncing Amazon in the grocery wars: Walmart is more of a threat to the e-commerce giant than the other way around.

Quick Glance: Why Walmart is outperforming Amazon in the grocery war

Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods indicated a more conventional approach to the supermarket business.

Since then, Amazon has treated grocery more like a scientific experiment than a seduction, resulting in weak performance at Whole Foods and other formats.

Last year, Tony Hoggett, a former executive from Tesco, a British supermarket chain, was recruited to bring grocery expertise to the company.

Amazon has two other advantages: a massive marketplace platform for third-party sellers, expanding the range of products available on its website, and a $38 billion advertising business that complements its supermarket operations.
