As reported by TechCrunch, in a somewhat surprising move, Cisco decides to acquire OpenDNS for a boatload of cash. I will be curious to see if there are any affects of this purchase or whether OpenDNS will be able to continue with business as usual. Google announces some new features and partners for Google Fit. The key here is the partners like MyFitnessPal and others. People use a lot of different tools to track their health, so integrating with them is a smart plan.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
