| The next James Bond film could be released by... Apple? More thrilling superspy news below in The Daily Crunch for September 6, 2017. 1. Apple and Amazon bidding on James Bond movie rights Apple and Amazon are in the running for rights to the James Bond film franchise?

LinkedIn's ad tech ambitious expand LinkedIn is hoping to do more with its ad tech, and it now has an audience network to help advertisers buy ad inventory on a range of different mobile sites and ads, powered by LinkedIn's demographic data. 6. Turo raises $92 million and buys Daimler's P2P car business Peer-to-peer car business Turo is getting bigger with the acquisition of Croove, the Daimler-created business which does the same thing. Daimler is investing in Turo, too, so it made little sense for them to both continue to operate competing services, Turo says. 7. India signs on for an HTT Hyperloop route Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has signed an agreement with the government of India's Andhra Pradesh state to build a 27-mile long Hyperloop that will cut a one-hour trip down to just 6 minutes. |
