It's February 4, 2021. On this day in 2004, Mark Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook, which eventually became the dominating (and capitalism-threatening) network it is today. ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don’t have to): 338 articles, 10 podcasts, 19 press releases, 387 tweets, and 12 YouTube videos 1. Jeff Bezos Will Step Down as Amazon CEO Everyone's favorite billionaire will step down as Amazon CEO in Q3 (he'll stay on as an "executive chair") and Andy Jassy will take on the CEO role (he's currently CEO of Amazon Web Services). The company will likely continue with its plans to take over the world, of course. 2. Uber To Buy Alcohol Delivery Service Drizly Pretty soon, you'll be able to Uber yourself some cocktails. The ride-sharing/food delivery company is expanding to drinks as its food delivery service sours during the lockdowns around the globe.

The Huawei Mate X2 should arrive February 22, in China, at least. 🦑 Go Deeper Ford may end up running the Android operating system for its in-car systems, which could introduce a whole new era of privacy issues. Our own Charlie Sorrel has a deeper look at the potential here. 🎱 By the Numbers What's in your pocket?
