Today's Story Highlights

Thync Scores $13M for Foggy Brain Project
Thync on Wednesday announced it had raised US$13 million in funding from
"top-tier" investors, including lead investor Khosla Ventures. Thync's
product, possibly called the "Vibe," is a wearable device that
purportedly uses neurosignaling to modify a user's state of mind in
relation to energy, calm and focus. Thync's claims have raised some
eyebrows.

Apple's 'Way Too Long' Invite Lands With a Thud
Apple's pretty much annual October new product media event usually is
preceded by a cute invitation sent to journalists. The invitation
typically includes a phrase or graphic element that provides a vague
clue to the secret agenda of the event. Presumably, this is to drum up
excitement and speculation, in addition to creating an ah-ha moment.

Look, Ma! No Hands... Crunch!
Those wonderful hands-free communications capabilities now available in
automobiles may carry the promise of making driving safer, but they're
not fulfilling it, according to two studies conducted jointly by the
University of Utah and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. And forget
about using your iPhone's Siri in the car, even hands-free -- it might
endanger your life.

What's Driving Open Source 2.0?
We're hearing more from vendors about how new features, functionality,
rewrites and releases are being driven by customers -- by their direct
experience using the software and competing in their various industries.
We're also hearing from customers and users, including the enterprise
market, that increasingly they are involved and thus empowered in open
source software communities.
