Salesforce is buying Informatica for $8 billion
Salesforce said Tuesday it will acquire the cloud data management company Informatica for $8 billion in equity value as it seeks to further compete in the global artificial intelligence race. The San Francisco-based company said in a press release thatthe acquisition will strengthen its 'trusted data foundation critical for deploying powerful and responsible agentic AI' and enable its AI agents 'to operate safely, responsibly, and at scale across the modern enterprise.' 'Together, Salesforce and Informatica will create the most complete, agent-ready data platform in the industry,' Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce, said. 'We will enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company, and significantly strengthen our position in the $150 billion-plus enterprise data market.' Amit Walia, CEO of Informatica, said his company and Salesforce 'have a shared vision for how we can help organizations harness the full value of their data in the AI era.' The companies had been in talks for an acquisition last year, but the negotiations fell through. Informatica, which boats clients like Dolby, Citizens, and Subaru, uses AI to help users automate tasks. The acquisition comes as Salesforce tries to expand Agentforce technology, its autonomous AI agents that support enterprise functions. Recent feature updates have included integration into its messaging network Slack, enhanced Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, and more accuracy.

TCL's newest TVs will automatically calibrate wireless speakers
Dolby's automatic speaker calibration tech FlexConnect finally comes to market via TCL's 2025 QD-Mini LED TVs. The company had originally announced the technology back in 2023, and was set to debut it with TCL's 2024 TV lineup. FlexConnect lets users place wireless speakers anywhere in a room without worrying about perfect configuration. The surround sound will then be optimized automatically based on the layout of the room and the position of the speakers. The first audio device to support this tech will be TCL's Z100 smart speaker, which is designed to pair with TCL's FlexConnect-enabled TVs. TCL's Precise Dimming Series, which includes the QM6K , QM7K and the newly announced QM8K , will all be FlexConnect-compatible. Users will be able to pair up to four Z100 speakers with their TCL TVs, which will work in concert with the TV's built-in speakers to deliver intelligently calibrated Dolby Atmos sound. This innovation allows for immersive spatial sound without the need for a perfectly symmetrical speaker setup. In today's joint press release , John Couling, Senior VP of Entertainment at Dolby Labs, said 'With Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, consumers can unlock even more flexibility and adaptability in how they design their home entertainment systems, while removing the stress of whether their speakers are in the right location to get an incredible Dolby Atmos experience.' In the same release , TCL said the Z100 speakers are expected this summer. The Z100 and the TCL Precise Dimming Series represent the first FlexConnect products launched in the United States. Along with the QM8K launch, TCL also announced its first model of party speakers, as well as the Q65H, its latest Dolby Atmos soundbar.

Dolby's soundbar alternative arrives this summer on select TCL TVs
It's been almost two years since Dolby announced its Dolby Atmos FlexConnect technology — a system that lets you place a series of speakers anywhere in your room, all wirelessly connected to your TV, for a full Dolby Atmos experience, no soundbar or AV receiver required. At the time, Dolby said it would partner with TCL to bring Atmos FlexConnect to the market, but despite some demos at the Consumer Electronics Show, there's been little movement toward that goal. Today, however, Dolby and TCL say they're almost ready to deliver. Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is coming to TCL's 2025 QD-Mini LED TVs in its Precise Dimming Series this summer, including the QM8K, QM7K, and QM6K. The companies haven't given exact timing for the update (which we assume will be enabled by an over-the-air firmware upgrade). TCL says that it will also launch the Z100 smart, panoramic sound speaker, which can be used with the FlexConnect system. Up to four Z100 speakers can be used (alongside the TV speakers) to create a Dolby Atmos experience. Recommended Videos We don't know how much the Z100 will cost when it arrives, or whether it can be used as a standalone speaker for music or other functions. What we do know is that it connects to TCL's 2025 QD-Mini LED TVs via Wi-Fi, and that the four-speaker limit is the result of the TV's onboard processor's limitations, not a limitation of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect as a technology. To create a customized Atmos experience, FlexConnect relies on microphones for room calibration. These can be located on the speakers, however in TCL's implementation, it uses the TV's onboard mics. A subwoofer can also be added, but TCL notes it must be the dedicated subwoofer that TCL makes — we're still waiting for details on that product. Dolby describes FlexConnect as a solution that 'is easily adaptable as more devices are added no matter where they are placed, intelligently optimizing the Dolby Atmos rendering of each speaker and the TV to create the best possible experience available that's tailored to the room.' 'With Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, consumers can unlock even more flexibility and adaptability in how they design their home entertainment systems, while removing the stress of whether their speakers are in the right location to get an incredible Dolby Atmos experience,' said Dolby Laboratories' senior vice president of entertainment, John Couling. Since Dolby's announcement of Atmos FlexConnect, Fraunhofer IIS — the entity that developed the MP3 file format — has announced its own multi-speaker immersive sound technology known as Fraunhofer UpHear Flexible Rendering. We expect to see the first TVs and soundbars with Fraunhofer's system this year, though we may not see it marketed under Fraunhofer's label. The company has very relaxed rules around marketing, letting its licensees call it whatever they like.

Forget Amazon Fire TV, Roku Ultra 2024 Streaming Player Matches Its Black Friday Price for Memorial Day Only
Trying to catch a show or movie you like while adhering to a network or cable channel's schedule is like trying to hold water in your hands. Not only is it annoying, but it's totally unfeasible. With today's fast-paced living, you want to be able to watch whatever you want on your own time. A streaming device is the easy way to do this, and there are tons of options, but there's a particularly good deal on one that you should consider picking up right now at Amazon. Head to Amazon now to get the Roku Ultra 2024 for $80, down from its usual price of $100. That's $20 off and a discount of 20%. See at Amazon A reliable streaming device at a great price The 2024 version of the Roku Ultra builds on everything people already love about Roku's platform. It's fast, easy to use, and works with just about every major streaming service you can think of. But this one also adds a slew of options into the fold. That includes 4K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos. If you've got a 4K TV and a solid sound setup, you'll really notice the difference in both picture and audio quality from these features, so it's definitely worth springing for these goodies. It also supports Wi-Fi 6, which means faster and more stable connections, especially helpful if your household has multiple devices online at once. If you prefer a wired connection, there's still an Ethernet port on the back, along with a USB slot for local media playback. Included with the device is the Roku Voice Remote Pro. This upgraded remote is rechargeable (so no more batteries), has backlit buttons, and includes a handy feature that helps you locate it if it ever disappears into the couch cushions. It even supports hands-free voice controls, so you can search for shows or adjust the volume without lifting a finger. If you don't already have a TV that has built-in features that you can use to stream content via app or other options, this Roku Ultra is more than worth the entry price. Just $80 is a fair price and then some, and if you want to guarantee being able to watch content on your time, you can get a couple. One for home, one for travel, and maybe even one as a gift. But act fast, because this deal won't last forever. See at Amazon
