Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Apple vs. Google, a Bossy Activity Tracker, and Feeling Your Path
There was plenty of focus on the cameras at Apple's presentation, as it
tries to promote the tablet as an ideal viewfinder for taking high-
quality images, while adding iPhone features like time-lapse and burst
mode. However, the new push of iPad photography is just encouraging even
more people to look foolish by taking photos with their tablet in
public. This is a plague.

BBC to Preserve Memory of Its 'Forgotten' Articles
The BBC will publish and continually update a list of its published
articles that were removed from Google searches under Europe's "right to
be forgotten" rule. David Jordan, director of editorial policy and
standards for the BBC, announced the move. The decision is a reaction to
the EC ruling that search engines must remove "inadequate, irrelevant or
no longer relevant" links upon request.

The iPad Air 2 Reveals Chink in Apple's Armor
The launch of the faster, thinner, goldier iPad Air 2, revealed a gap in
Apple's shiny armor. This gap is the place where competitors have a
chance to attack. However, the gap remains protected by a suit of chain
mail. Let me explain. The iPad Air 2 sure looks like an amazing feat of
engineering -- at just 6.1 millimeters thick, it's 18 percent thinner
than its super-thin predecessor.

Microsoft Patch Blocks Sandworm Tunnels
iSight Partners this week revealed that a cybergang it dubbed "Sandworm"
has been exploiting a zero-day vulnerability that impacts all supported
versions of Microsoft Windows, including Windows Server 2008 and 2012.
The announcement was held off until Microsoft issued its patch earlier
this week. If exploited, the flaw will let attackers remotely execute
code on target systems.

Tide Starts to Turn Against Gamergate's Women-Hating Campaign
Backlash against the #Gamergate movement escalated several notches this
week, thanks to high-profile newspaper reports and a public statement
from the Entertainment Software Association. "Threats of violence and
harassment are wrong," the ESA said. "They have to stop. There is no
place in the video game community -- or our society -- for personal
attacks and threats."
