About our Technology news coverage
What we trackThe Technology summary follows software, devices, cloud, telecoms and the companies behind them. Stories that belong mainly to another topic are left to that topic's summary.
How often it updatesToday's Technology summary is live: publishers' feeds are checked continuously and new developments are added as they are reported, all day long.
Where the stories come fromStories come from the reporting of Ars Technica, The Verge, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Register, The Guardian, BBC News, TechRadar, GSMArena, Tom's Hardware, Gizmodo and Neowin, and from official announcements by Google and Microsoft. Every story links to the articles it is based on.
Live and final editionsThe live summary covers the day so far and can still grow. After 23:59 UTC it gets a final update and becomes the final edition for that day, kept in the archive.
