Today's Story Highlights

The Sky Is Droning
The FAA on Thursday gave the green light for six aerial photo and video
production companies to begin using unmanned aircraft systems, also
known as "drones." To incorporate the devices in film and TV production,
the companies will be required to hold private pilot certificates, keep
their drones within line of sight at all times, and restrict flights to
a so-called sterile area.

Apple Redoubles Efforts to Fix iOS 8 Glitches
Apple on Thursday announced it's preparing iOS 8.0.2 -- which will
include a fix for problems triggered by iOS 8.0.1 -- and plans to
release it in the next few days. In a rare move, Apple on Wednesday
suspended downloads of iOS 8.0.1, which aimed to fix problems uncovered
after the launch of iOS 8. What's more, it recommended a downgrade for
owners of Apple's new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Pale Moon Shines for Classic Firefox Fans
The Pale Moon Web browser project gets rid of a problem that many
Mozilla Firefox users would like to solve. The Pale Moon browser is a
fork of Mozilla's official browser developed by Moonchild Productions.
It provides users with access to all of their favorite Firefox
extensions but eliminates the Australis interface, which some dislike.
Firefox debuted the new UI in late April.

Bash Shellshock Bug Patched but Not Pummeled
Researchers on Thursday discovered proof-of-concept code that could take
advantage of unpatched computer systems, and found evidence of attacks
exploiting the BASH Shellshock bug in the wild. Shellshock, which came
to light on Wednesday, could become a major threat to Linux/Unix and
Apple operating systems if published patches to BASH are not applied
before an attacker cashes in.

The Dark Side of Apple Design: From Antennagate to Bendgate
When Apple -- which is clearly one of the world's best companies at
design -- makes a misstep, it's amplified by a wild combination of user
dismay and hater glee. Because there are millions of users and many
haters, a design flaw can turn into an instant public relations tornado.
Enter Bendgate, featuring the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Apparently,
carrying them in your pocket can make them bend.
