THE DAILY CRUNCH
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29 2017 By Darrell Etherington

Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ make their bezel-light debut, Microsoft cages to Creators and more in The Daily Crunch for March 29, 2017. And if you're hoping Congress had your back on privacy protections, I've got some bad news for you.

1. Meet Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+

Samsung's latest flagship smartphone is here, and they look exactly like you'd expect if you've been paying any attention to all the leaks. The S8 and S8+ are different sized versions of each other, with edge-to-edge screens and 5.8 and 6.2-inch displays respectively.

They look really good – and the company's definitely going to be committed to making sure these things don't explode after the Note 7 debacle. What more could you ask for, really?

2. Windows will deliver its love letter to creators on April 11

Windows is launching its Creators Update on April 11, and it's bringing a lot to the table for people who like to make things, including graphics, movies, photography and game streams. I'm actually pretty pumped about this, and what it'll do for my Surface Book.

3. Oculus Rift at 1

I can't believe it was just a year ago that I was eagerly awaiting my Oculus Rift pre-order – then cancelling it in favor of the HTC Vive because it provided a more full VR experience out of the box. Well it has been, so here's a look back at the year that was and what's yet to come.

4. SpaceX is attempting to reuse one of its rockets this week

SpaceX will make history this week, one way or another, provided it can launch the Falcon 9 rocket it's reusing for the first time tomorrow. If all goes well, this will pave the way for improved costs related to launching, which could help SpaceX get to Mars long-term.

5. Congress voted to let ISPs sell your data

Cool cool cool that sounds great Congress. Everyone wants their internet provider to be able to sell their personal data, including browser history, to advertisers. That's the dream.

6. What's new in Apple iOS 10 security

Plenty of new stuff covered here, including Touch ID opening up, HomeKit keeping things private, live streaming possibilities and more.

7. Oculus Home on Gear VR is nearing desktop performance

One of the big things announced by Samsung today includes a much-improved Gear VR experience. The software is benefiting from double the resolution in the phone's display, which helps a lot with making things look as good as they do in Home on Oculus desktop for PCs.
