NEW YORK — A guitar that Jerry Garcia played everywhere from San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom to Egypt’s Great Pyramids is headed to auction Wednesday night.

Wolf, the Grateful Dead frontman’s guitar, will be offered at the Brooklyn Bowl, a bowling alley, restaurant and music venue. The proceeds are earmarked for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama.

Devoted Deadhead Daniel Pritzker, a philanthropist, musician and film director, is selling the guitar after having bought the instrument in 2002 for $790,000. The guitar is predicted to fetch more than $1 million this time around.

Nest security camera to use facial recognition tech

SAN FRANCISCO — Nest Labs is adding Google’s facial recognition technology to a high-resolution home-security camera, offering a glimpse of a future in which increasingly intelligent, internet-connected computers can see and understand what’s going on in people’s homes.

The Nest Cam IQ, unveiled Wednesday, will be Nest’s first device to draw upon the same human-like skills that Google has been programming into its computers — for instance, to identify people in images via its widely used photo app. Nest can tap into Google’s expertise in artificial intelligence because the same parent company, Alphabet Inc., owns both companies.
