On episode 62 of Digital Trends Live, we discussed trending headlines from Jeff Bezos accusing the National Enquirer of blackmail, changes to Instacart’s tipping policy, and an insulin delivering pill being developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). We also welcomed filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald and founder of Elite Daily, Gerard Adams, to the show for special interviews.

Grocery delivery app, Instacart announced on Wednesday that they would reversing a tipping policy that had outraged some workers. Previously, tips were counted toward the minimum payments the company would offer shoppers, in some cases meaning that the more customers tipped, the less workers were getting paid. The company has also said that they will be putting new minimum payments into effect.

Jeff Bezos is speaking out about being the target of blackmail by the National Enquirer who are threatening to release damaging photos of the Amazon CEO, including nude selfies. We also talked about a new drug capsule that could potentially eliminate the need for insulin injections for those living with Type 2 Diabetes.
