Today's Story Highlights

The Internet of Things: There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
When I was 10 years old, I took my first trip to Disney World. The
futuristic rides in Tomorrow Land were my favorites. In particular, I
loved "The Carousel of Progress," which, at the time, was an attraction
designed by General Electric to showcase its new technologies at the
1964 New York World's Fair. The song, "There's a Great Big Beautiful
Tomorrow," played as the curtains opened.

All Hacks on Deck: Japan Invites Hackers to Go At Government
Japan invited hackers -- nice ones, that is -- to go to town on the
nation's government departments Tuesday. The move is designed to expose
weaknesses in cyberdefenses and bolster national security ahead of the
2020 Olympics. Japan enlisted 50 cyberdefense specialists to gather at
an emergency response center in Tokyo; an additional 100-plus were
stationed offsite.

Google Adds Some Serious Oomph to Play Games
Google on Monday announced a number of new features to the Google Play
Games platform that are intended to boost discoverability and cross-
platform multiplayer gaming while providing developers with deeper
analytics. Three out of every four people who use the Android operating
system play games, according to Google. There are more than 1 billion
activated Android devices.

Chinese E-Commerce Giant Plans Stateside IPO
Gargantuan Chinese e-commerce outfit Alibaba soon will begin the process
of launching an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.
Early forecasts suggest that the IPO could raise $15 billion. The
announcement seemingly ends speculation about whether Alibaba would be
listed on the NYSE or in Hong Kong. Alibaba apparently found some of the
SEHK's rules particularly unpalatable.
