Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft May Have Launched a Band of Gold
Microsoft has made another foray into the mobile health market with the
introduction of the Microsoft Band, powered by its new Microsoft Health
platform. The band, which is available at Microsoft Stores for $200 as
of Thursday, is designed to be worn 24 hours a day. In addition to the
usual monitoring capabilities, the band will notify wearers of incoming
calls, emails, texts and social updates.

Apple Pay vs. CurrentC: Prelude to the Beacon Wars
The current dustup between Apple Pay and CurrentC is a stark, bleak
mess. That's not because Apple promises an easier, more secure way of
making a smartphone-based retail transaction. Nor is it because CurrentC
wants to harvest data on you and provide behavior-bending coupons,
incentives and special deals, while cutting out the middleman credit
card processing industry. It gets worse.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81279.html

The Long and Winding Road to Shellshock Recovery
Four days after Shellshock was disclosed, Incapsula's Web application
firewall deflected more than 217,000 attempted exploits on more than
4,100 domains. The company recorded upwards of 1,970 attacks per hour,
from more than 890 IPs around the world. Shellshock was expected to be
far worse than the Heartbleed flaw, which was expected to impact about
17 percent of the secure Web servers worldwide.

Today's Story Highlights

HP May Sprout New Manufacturing Techniques
HP has introduced its Blended Reality ecosystem: HP Multi Jet Fusion, an
advanced 3D printer; and Sprout by HP -- a combination scanner, depth
sensor, high-res camera and projector that provides 3D images of items
and enables real-time remote collaboration. The ecosystem might
revolutionize manufacturing, sharply reducing the design-to-prototype
cycle and making it easy to customize products.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81270.html

With Ampy, You'll Get a Charge Out of Exercising
While some people are vaguely aware that movement can be converted into
electrical energy -- think wrist watches or emergency crank flashlights
-- a new Kickstarter project has created Ampy, a small, wearable battery
pack that can harness the kinetic motion of common humans and release it
back into smartphones, smartwatches and other USB-powered electronic
gadgets.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81269.html

Mobile Database Management's Coming of Age
The push is on for mobile database management tools built from the
ground up to run directly inside phones, tablets and wearables. These
mobile database solutions are being designed to do what heavyweight open
source solutions like SQLite, Cord Data, MySQL and PostgreSQL were not
designed to do. Some 4.55 billion people worldwide are using mobile
phones this year.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81267.html

Elon Musk Calls for Preventive AI Demon Wrangling
Elon Musk, CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla Motors, among his many roles,
this week warned about the threat humans face from artificial
intelligence. AI is probably our biggest existential threat, he told
students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "With artificial
intelligence we are summoning the demon," Musk said, indicating that it
might not be possible to control it.

Today's Story Highlights

Mobile Malware Takes Victims by Surprise
Malware writers behind Koler, a bad app that attacks Android devices,
have upped their game with a new variant of the pernicious program. In
its original version, Koler hijacked phones it landed on and wouldn't
set them free until a ransom was paid. This latest strain of the malapp
also does the ransomware thing, but it takes its malignancy a step
further.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81265.html

Hybrid IKEA Desk Could Get You Off Your Duff
IKEA last week introduced a new desk that can be raised and lowered with
the push of a button to accommodate both sitting and standing positions.
Part of IKEA's Bekant line, the desk serves as a hybrid alternative to
traditional desks. "This desk promotes a healthy work environment by
getting people on their feet," said Karen Haas, IKEA's U.S. sales leader
for Workspaces.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81259.html

Fitbit Tosses 3 More Bands Into the Activity-Tracking Melee
Fitbit on Monday announced three new fitness and activity-tracking
wearables: the Fitbit Charge, Charge HR and Surge. The Charge HR and
Surge will be available early next year. The Charge is available now on
Fitbit's site and is coming soon to retailers nationwide. Prices are
high -- $130 for the Charge, $150 for the Charge HR, and $250 for the
Surge, a fitness super watch with eight sensors.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81257.html

Debian's Civil War: Has It Really Come to This?
Well it seems no matter how loudly we here in the Linux blogosphere try
to hum a happy tune or discuss cheerful FOSS matters, we just can't seem
to drown out the shouts and screams coming from those standing too close
to the Systemd Inferno. Stand back, people! It's dangerous! The embers,
of course, had been hot for some time already before the blaze flared
sky-high a few months ago.

Amazon Sticks It to Google Chromecast
Amazon on Monday introduced the Fire TV Stick, a new streaming-media
device that can connect to an HDTV's HDMI port and deliver video content
from Amazon Prime Instant Video, as well as Netflix, Hulu Plus, ESPN,
YouTube, Spotify, Vevo, Pandora and A&E. It also can be used to play
games. New and existing Amazon Prime customers can pre-order the Fire TV
Stick for $19 through Tuesday.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81261.html

Detroit's Stupid Plan to Kill Tesla
In watching the illicit attempts of dealers and U.S. auto companies to
try to kill Tesla, I have to think they are all wrongheaded. I don't
drive a Tesla, but this kind of thing makes me really mad because it is
so incredibly stupid. Tesla is as much an idea as it is a company -- and
an idea that should be flowing through the car industry anyway, because
the world is changing.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81249.html

Gadget Ogling: Up In The Air, Big Reads and Ghastly Wearables
This week in Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, a peek at newly announced
gadgets that caught my eye, we're going back to the future. Yes, there's
an actual hoverboard on the agenda, alongside a larger Nook tablet, a
high-end Kindle, smart luggage, and the tipping point for wearable tech.
As always, there are ratings for each item, which are based on how
interested I am in using them.

Calculate Linux Provides Consistency by Design
Calculate Linux 14 is a distro designed with home and SMB users in mind.
It is optimized for rapid deployment in corporate environments as well.
