Today's Story Highlights

Defining a Hero: Why It Matters That Apple's CEO Is Gay
Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced he is gay. Typically, when a CEO's
personal life becomes a major issue, it is a bad thing. I do think this
will have an adverse impact on Apple's sales, but I also think it will
have a beneficial impact on the world. I'll share my thoughts about why
a CEO doing something both controversial and potentially heroic is a
good thing.

Ghost Hunters Kinect With Spirits
Microsoft's Kinect motion controller may have been intended to keep
gamers moving while in the throes of play, but some intrepid explorers
have been using it for a different purpose: hunting ghosts. Its
skeletal-tracking and infrared-sensing capabilities let Kinect can "see"
as many as six players in a room. What makes spines start to tingle,
however, is when it sees some who aren't there.

Gadget Ogling: Logged Jogs, Manual Music, Smart Weapons and Skinny Phones
Welcome to another installment of Gadget Dreams and Nightmares, a weekly
look at the treats and horrors revealed as manufacturers pull back their
curtains. Behind door number one is a selection of updated activity
trackers from one of the oldest dogs in the yard, with the other shiny
prizes including a music controller, a smart accessory for police
firearms, and the planet's thinnest smartphone.

Security-Minded Qubes OS Will Satisfy Your Yen for Xen
Qubes OS is a hybrid computing technology that raises the bar for
security. It takes locking down computers to a new level. It has
advanced far beyond the primitive proof of concept demonstrated more
than four years ago. Beta Release 2, which arrived in late September, is
a powerful desktop OS. Qubes succeeds in seamless integrating security
by isolation into the user experience.
