Today's Story Highlights

Hawking Sounds Alarm Over AI's End Game
Artificial intelligence eventually could bring about mankind's demise,
according to renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. "Once humans develop
[full] artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own and
redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate," he said. "Humans, who are
limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be
superseded."

Twitter Gives Harassed Users a Little Ammo
Twitter has announced a revamp of its system for reporting abuse on its
service. The new changes make it easier to report account impersonation,
harassment of others on the service, and threats of harm to oneself or
others, said Shreyas Doshi, Twitter's director of product management.
The changes allow subscribers to report abuse of others, and simplify
flagging tweets and accounts for review.

Puzzle GNU/Linux: Integrated Pieces Create an Intriguing OS
Puzzle GNU/Linux is a strange OS distribution that shows the value of
open source ingenuity. This Linux distro is built around a hybrid
desktop that is highly customizable. You might get the impression when
you start using it that the desktop environment is a new creation. It's
not -- but Puzzle GNU/Linux does provide a new approach to controlling
the user interface.
