Today's Story Highlights

Salesforce.com, Philips Launch Health Cloud Revolution
Salesforce and Philips last week announced they had teamed up on a cloud
computing initiative designed to transform existing healthcare
platforms. The companies plan to create an open cloud-based healthcare
platform that will allow everyone from software developers to health
insurance companies to connect and exchange information via Salesforce's
health cloud.

Manipulative User Research Earns Facebook a Shiner
Once again, Facebook is embroiled in a controversy over privacy. This
time, hackles have been raised by publication of a study for which the
company manipulated the News Feeds of nearly 700,000 subscribers. The
study concluded that negative messages on social networks make people
sad, and positive ones make them happy -- and those feelings can spread
through a social network to third parties.

The Big Winners at Google I/O 2014
At last week's Google I/O, Nvidia was the big winner. It was showcased
in TVs, mobile devices and automotive as the supplier of a key
technology. Other brands were mentioned in the keynote, but it was
Nvidia that was mentioned most consistently -- and its technology
apparently was connected to most of the demos. Though it was mentioned
only in passing, Lenovo actually was the other big winner.

Linux Mint 17: Fresh and Long-Lasting
Linux Mint 17, dubbed "Qiana," is one of the best releases from this
community since Linux Mint 13 arrived in 2012 with the Cinnamon desktop.
Qiana is filled with extensive improvements and embellishments to all
five desktop editions. It is available in Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE, Mate and
LMDE. Regardless of which desktop you favor, the core improvements are
well worth the upgrade.
