Split is a vibrant town on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, which is known for Diocletian’s Palace, a fortress-like structure erected by the Roman emperor in the 4th century. Now it’s full of restaurants, shops, cathedrals, hotels, and tourists.Note that the cruise ships dump huge crowds here, but if you see the tour guides holding up a flag followed by the masses, just head the other direction. They usually go for the area with the most souvenir shops.If you’re in the old town at the right time, you might bump into some men in metal or possibly even Santa Claus or Dumbledore.
You’ll notice many interesting architectural details both on the ground and up in the air if you climb the bell tower, which I have to say is a really high one! Inside the walls, you’ll find the beautiful Croatian National Theatre and just outside the walls, a colorful market.
Speaking of walls, there is a fair amount of graffiti, but most of it is artistic and interesting. Oftentimes in Split, you’ll stumble on to a flea market, and you never know what you might find. And after the sun goes down, the colorful lights come on, if you’re into late nights with food festivals and free concerts… free, unless you care to donate some spare Kuna.
If you tire of old town Split, there are many day trip opportunities, like taking a ferry to the island of Brac (pronounced “Brach”), which is known for its very famous beach, Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). This beach is a protected nature park and it changes shape under the influence of tides and waves.
If water and beaches aren’t your thing, there’s Trogir, another walled village a short bus ride away from Split. It has the usual fortress you can climb for a view, plus canals, shops, restaurants, churches and the like for you to explore. Or you can set up office with a pizza and free wifi, if you need to get a little travel blogging done.
Now, after a month in Croatia, it’s time for me to split Split and head to Slovenia. But looking back, what’s not to love about Croatia? I’d go back in a heartbeat, and highly recommend it for a beautiful, affordable, fun and sun-filled holiday for you.

| IoT BRIEFING |
Nest thermostat now adjusts to energy prices — Faraday Future approved for autonomous trials in California — Walmart's shopping cart robot
John Greenough | June 23, 2016
Good morning! IoT BRIEFING is delivered first thing every morning exclusively to BI Intelligence members and BRIEFING subscribers.
Have feedback? We'd like to hear from you. Write us at: jgreenough@businessinside NEST ANNOUNCES ITS THERMOSTATS WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST TO CHANGES IN ENERGY PRICES: Nest, the smart home manufacturer owned by Alphabet (formerly Google), announced the release of a new software update to its thermostats that will enable them to adjust automatically to changes in energy prices, according to Fortune. The Nest software, known as “Time of Savings,” determines the price of electricity throughout the day and will adjust the thermostat to use less energy when electricity is more expensive. For example, the thermostat will begin cooling a house in the summer at midnight when energy demand is lowest to avoid using more energy during peak demand times. The software is currently limited to customers of SolarCity solar panels,according to the company’s blog. SolarCity, which Elon Musk and Tesla recentlyproposed to acquire, had installed its solar panels in 903,000 US homes as of the end of 2015, according to the company. Nest also announced that it’s working with Southern California Edison and select energy partners to enable their customers to get the Time of Savings feature in the future. However, Nest did not provide a timeline for when those customers would receive the software update. This is Nest’s first major announcement since Nest CEO Tony Fadellannounced his resignation earlier this month. Prior to Fadell’s resignation, Nest failed to meet revenue expectations, and failed to release a new hit product since the original release of its thermostat in 2011. The company is reportedly working on a smart home security system, but has experienced delays with its development.  FARADAY FUTURE APPROVED TO TEST FULLY-AUTONOMOUS CARS IN CALIFORNIA: Faraday Future, a Chinese-backed electric car startup based in Los Angeles, was approved by California to start testing fully autonomous car prototypes later this year, according to Reuters. The company has not disclosed details or a time frame for its autonomous car trial program. However, Faraday Future plans to start building its first electric cars in the United States next year. Faraday is hoping that it will be able to develop autonomous vehicles to compete with Tesla in the premium electric self-driving market, Reuters notes. Tesla has been adding self-driving capabilities to its cars through its Autopilot program, and aims to have self-driving technology ready for market in 2018. Faraday recently applied for manufacturer license plates in Michigan, which is a necessary step to be able to test fully autonomous cars on public roads in the state, according to The Detroit News. Since the NHTSA announced that it will not block states from setting their own rules on autonomous cars, companies have gone state-by-state seeking approval to test autonomous prototypes. This could significantly slow down the launch of fully autonomous cars in the United States because once fully autonomous cars are ready for market, each state could have different regulations on how they will be allowed to operate within its borders, which would create a great deal of confusion for automakers. WALMART TO DEVELOP SHOPPING CART ROBOT: Walmart will be partnering with Five Elements Robotics to develop a robotic shopping cart, according to Geek. While neither company has discussed the partnership specifically, Five Elements manufactures Budgee, a personal robot that follows its owner around and has a large storage area for shopping. Reports indicatethat the robot Walmart and Five Elements develops will be able to help customers locate items on their shopping lists, make purchasing suggestions, and carry their goods throughout the store. Retailers are increasingly making use of robots as wages continue to rise, both for in-store and out-of-store operations. Amazon acquired the robotics maker Kiva to use its robots in its warehouses, which saved the company $286 million last year in fulfillment center costs, according to Deutsche Bankestimates. Meanwhile, Best Buy has deployed Chloe, a robot that can fetch goods at customer request, and Lowe’s is working on OSHbot, a customer service robot that speaks multiple languages and helps shoppers find items. |

Apple may change its iPhone production cycle this year — How restaurant apps use perks to drive engagement — Slack introduces message buttons
Laurie Beaver | June 23, 2016
Good morning! APPS AND PLATFORMS BRIEFING is delivered first thing every morning exclusively to BI Intelligence members and BRIEFING subscribers.
Have feedback? We'd like to hear from you. Write me at: lbeaver@businessinsider.c APPLE MAY CHANGE ITS PRODUCTION CYCLE: Apple may break with its pattern of overhauling the design of its iPhone every two years. The company is rumored to be planning to make only subtle changes to its flagship device slated for release in September, according to the The Wall Street Journal. Instead Apple is planning on releasing its more robust design changes in 2017 on the 10-year anniversary of the original iPhone. If the rumor is true, Apple could experience its first decline in smartphone shipments next winter. Apple typically releases new phone models and software upgrades on an alternating annual basis, referred to as a “tick-tock” schedule. On “tick” years, Apple launches new phone models, like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in 2014. On “tock” years, Apple releases software upgrades and new app functionality as seen in 2015 with the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The device design upgrades in tick years tend to coincide with larger device shipments than internal tock years.
On the other hand, by holding out for another year, Apple may drive a “super cycle” in 2017, according to a Credit Suisse analyst. This would be driven by consumers waiting for the next device design before upgrading their smartphone. With so much pent up demand for a new iPhone, this could result in a massive increase in upgraders that year.  RESTAURANT APPS LEVERAGE CUSTOMER PERKS TO DRIVE ENGAGEMENT: A majority of the top-performing restaurant apps across both Android and iOS have so far failed to capture the minds of consumers in the US, notes a report from app engagement company Applause. By analyzing almost 1 million app store reviews in the US and rating them on a 100-point scale of sentimentality, the average restaurant app received a mobile user sentiment score of 38%. This is largely because many of these apps are not utilizing engagement tactics such as rewards programs and mobile order-ahead. But there are examples of restaurant chains in the US using their apps to not only engage their consumers, but also drive consumer spending:
SLACK ADDS MESSAGE BUTTONS TO EXPAND ITS WORKPLACE CAPABILITIES: Slack, the workplace collaboration platform for businesses, announced its new Message Buttons tool on Tuesday. The feature will appear within the message thread on Slack, giving users the option to either accept or deny an action such as approving expenses (see image) or booking flights. It will also allow users to cycle between windows to complete tasks. Slack hopes that the addition of this new feature will help encourage developers to build apps specifically for its platform. It currently integrates third-party apps that enable functions such as file sharing and group chats, but also peer-to-peer payments, car services, and food delivery. However, many of these functions are utilized by tapping the forward slash key and scrolling through command options. Message Buttons are intended to be an easier and more intuitive way to issue commands on the platform. For now, the message buttons work with 12 apps, but Slack plans to expand that number to its entire directory of over 500 apps.  BI Intelligence Contributing Associate Kate Scheer contributed to this Briefing. THE LATEST RESEARCH FROM BI INTELLIGENCE What Line's IPO has taught us about the chat market. Line, a popular Japanese messaging app, filed a F1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission last week, ahead of its July public offering.
