Today's Story Highlights

Hackers Paint Bull's-eyes on Cybercurrencies
Another digital currency was brought to its knees last week when the
administrators of Doge Vault had to suspend operations after they
discovered their online wallet service had been attacked by hackers.
Following an investigation of the incident and the reconstruction of
some of their damaged information from a backup, the administrators
contacted users.

2. 'I Am Google': Pride Comes Before a Fall
Last week, I observed repercussions from one of the most arrogant moves
I've ever seen an executive make. A small uproar occurred when Google's
CTO learned there were fewer people than he'd expected at an event he'd
volunteered to speak at. As he stormed out, he uttered the immortal
words, "I Am Google," to the event organizer -- whom he apparently
thought was a booth babe.

Russian Rocket, Satellite Don't Quite Make It
A space-bound satellite designed to provide Internet access to remote
regions in Russia and neighboring states was destroyed when its ride
blew apart mid-flight. The Proton-M rocket, affixed with a European-
built Express AM4R satellite, seemed to be doing just fine until nine
minutes into the flight, when it exploded some 93 miles above Earth. The
exact cause of the crash apparently was not known.

The Neverending Systemd Saga
Here in the Linux blogosphere, controversies come and go like the wind,
leaving a trail of broken chalk and empty whiskey bottles in their wake.
Most pass quietly into the annals of time of their own accord, however,
so when a luminary such as Eric Steven Raymond weighs in with an
opinion, it's a safe bet there's something big going on. That's what
happened in March on the topic of Systemd.

Microsoft Circles Back to Halo
Microsoft is returning to one of its biggest franchises with the
announcement of a new Halo game, set to debut next year for the Xbox
One. Accompanying the release of the title is a new TV show based on the
series. The release of Microsoft's latest console, the Xbox One,
provided the opportunity to rethink how to move the franchise forward
while highlighting the console's assets.
