Today's Story Highlights

Destiny Teams Race to Vault of Glass Finish Line
Bungie's second special Destiny event, dubbed "Vault of Glass," went
live early Tuesday. Bungie calls it "the most elaborate mission" it has
ever created. Only gamers who have reached Level 26 will qualify.
Attempts to complete the Raid are being streamed live on Twitch. After
months of hype and anticipation, Destiny , the latest video game from
Bungie, finally arrived last week.

Soft Super-Suit Could Make Soldiers Stronger
A new, flexible robotic suit funded by the U.S. military's Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency could enable soldiers to walk longer
distances with less fatigue and also improve mobility for disabled
civilians. Called the "Soft Exosuit," the biologically inspired device
is made of flexible textiles woven together into a piece of smart
clothing that is worn under a soldier's regular gear.

Medical Trials to Test Usefulness of Apple's HealthKit
Stanford and Duke Universities reportedly will use Apple's HealthKit in
medical trials. Doctors at Stanford are working with Apple to let
physicians track blood sugar levels for children with diabetes, while
Duke is developing a pilot program to track blood pressure, weight and
other measurements for patients with cancer or heart disease. The
programs will roll out in a few weeks.

Is It Time to Cleave Linux in Two?
Fires may be easy to start, but putting them out is a different matter.
Case in point: the Systemd inferno. What started a few weeks ago as a
relatively straightforward controversy over an oft-debated technology
Visit the VMware Tech Center has now virtually blown up in Linux fans'
faces. The latest flareup? None other than the suggestion that Linux be
split in two.
