New Dimensions

Aromajoin ships smells, L'Oreal gets into AR beauty, Microsoft makes Excel smarte

Good morning! Gotta love Netflix's response to California's new salary transparency laws. To be as helpful as possible to job seekers, they've advertised a PM gig with an "$80,000 - $700,000" salary range 😂 Very transparent indeed...

Highlight of the day

Aromajoin launches a smell dispenser for multi-dimensional video watching. It can shoot up to six smells, and the smell (as well as timing & duration) can be programmed to sync with moments in videos.
