AMAZON UPHEAVAL: WITH MORALE SHAKEN, JASSY LOOKS FOR NEXT BIG PLAY AFTER MASS LAYOFFS

Andy Jassy recently laid out a vision for how he wants Amazon to operate like the world's largest startup. The company has been working hard to flatten its organization, getting rid of bureaucracy in order to move faster and stay competitive. Amazon announced last week it would lay off about 14,000 corporate employees and said more cuts are expected soon. The next big wave of cuts is expected to start in January. Jassy has been searching for Amazon's next opportunity - the company has made big bets on satellite internet, health care, grocery, entertainment, and self-driving vehicles.

GOOGLE SETTLEMENT WITH EPIC CAPS PLAY STORE FEES, BOOSTS OTHER ANDROID APP STORES

Google and Epic have reached a settlement that will provide a framework for long-term global changes to Android app distribution.

Third-party app stores will get a boost, developers will enjoy lower fees, and Google won't drag out the process for years. The agreement isn't intended to undo the jury verdict or sidestep the court's previous order, but is aimed instead at reinforcing the court's intent while eliminating potential delays in realigning the app market.
