For a $2,999 price point, you might wonder -- is the Microsoft Surface Studio desktop really worth it? I tested one recently and found myself being drawn to a few important features that made it worth the high price even compared to similar models from Dell and even Apple.
1. Incredibly high resolution
This was one of the surprises for me, because I sometimes don't like extremely high-res displays. They might be clear, but the color quality sometimes suffers. And, in some cases, the extra resolution doesn't really help with detail work in Photoshop and other apps because you don't really notice the difference. The Studio uses a resolution of 4500 x 3000 pixels, and believe me, you notice. For photos, I was able to zoom in and make fine adjustments to pixels in ways I couldn't do on any laptop or on my normal 2K resolution display. Even normal Word documents looked better on the Studio's display without any jagged text.

Shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores Inc. was indicated up over 2% in premarket trade Wednesday, after the restaurant and country store chain beat fiscal fourth-quarter profit expectations, offsetting a sales miss. Net income for the quarter to July 28 rose to $53.9 million, or $2.23 a share, from $51.0 million, or $2.12 a share, in the same period a year ago. The FactSet consensus for earnings per share was $2.17. Revenue fell 0.3% to $743.2 million, missing the FactSet consensus of $746.7 million. Same-store sales declined 1.7%, compared with the FactSet consensus of a 0.6% decline, while the average check increased 0.9%. Looking ahead, the company expects fiscal first-quarter EPS of $1.85 to $1.95 and fiscal 2018 EPS of $8.85 to $9.00, compared with the FactSet consensus for first-quarter EPS of $2.10 and for 2018 EPS of $8.89. "As we enter the new fiscal year, we anticipate the environment to remain challenged, yet are confident in our plans to invest in the long-term growth of the company," said Chief Executive Sandra Cochran. The stock has lost 9.4% over the past three months through Tuesday, while the S&P 500 has gained 2.3%.

Time Inc. announced Tuesday that Nancy Gibbs is stepping down as editor-in-chief of Time magazine at the end of the year. A successor is expected to be named soon, Time said. Gibbs has spent 32 years working at Time, including four as the magazine's first female editor-in-chief. Gibbs is credited with revamping Time's digital operations that has doubled the magazine's overall audience under her tenure. "Nancy successfully ushered Time into a new era," the company said in a statement. "She is leaving Time in a strong position, with the biggest audience in its history and more innovations ahead." Gibbs said she's "grateful for every single day I've spent at Time, but it's time for another chapter." Time shares are down 4% in the past three months, and down 25% year to date, compared to the S&P 500's gains of 3% and 12%, respectively.

Technology's a great thing when used by society to better itself. Often, when investors think of great technology, companies like Tesla Inc. (TSLA) and Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) spring to mind.
However, truth be told, technology is used by all kinds of businesses to make their companies more efficient.
"In ten years, every company will have to be an artificial intelligence company, or they won't be competitive," Loup Ventures Managing Partner Doug Clinton wrote in a July blog. "While traditional tech companies have been very forward about their advancements and investments in AI, there are non-tech companies that are poised to benefit from their efforts in AI."
While many investors are looking for the next big technology stock, a small minority are less concerned about the technology itself, but rather how the technology is used by a non-tech company to create a wider moat.
I've come up with seven non-tech stocks using technology to win.
