What were the biggest tech stories of 2017?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask · host Recode

Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode count down the 10 most important tech stories of 2017: The year's biggest product launches, including the iPhone X and a non-exploding phone from Samsung; Amazon's $14 billion acquisition of Whole Foods; "fake news" and the Twitter-presidency of Donald Trump; the mixed bag of tech IPOs from Snap, Blue Apron, Roku and Stitch Fix; the fallout from Russia's meddling in the 2016 U.S. election; the FCC's repeal of net neutrality; bitcoin's rise and fall (and rise?); widespread backlash against Silicon Valley companies and products for a range of reasons; the #MeToo movement across multiple industries, including tech; and, finally, the nonstop turbulence at Uber, ignited in part by a former employee's blog post.
