The Morning After: Weekend Edition

A week into the Trump administration, and it seems that many of the president's actions are courting disaster -- at least if you're a fan of open government or the environment. Meanwhile, Samsung appears to have recovered from its self-created catastrophe known as the Note 7. Chris Velazco recounted the sequence of events that led to the company's apology for its flaming devices and -- given this week's glowing quarterly earnings report -- painted a surprisingly rosy picture for the firm moving forward. It seems that Sony could take some notes from Samsung's focus on making amends to consumers. So, this week he gave Sony some very pointed advice on how it should better serve its customers. And finally, while Samsung's future was looking good for the first time in months, Christopher Trout went to the Adult Entertainment Expo to see an X-rated hologram and discover what's next for porn. What he found was an industry in the midst of a comeback, powered by VR and mobile livestreaming.
