Today's Story Highlights

Google Gives WebView the Cold Shoulder
Google has decided not to fix vulnerabilities in WebView for Android 4.3
and older, sparking heated discussions among developers. Those versions
of WebView run on the WebKit browser. Fixing them "required changes to
significant portions of the code and was no longer practical to do so
safely," explained Adrian Ludwig, lead engineer for Android security.

SpaceX Video Stirs Excitement for Falcon Heavy
SpaceX on Thursday released a computer-generated animation demonstrating
how the three Falcon 9 cores of its Falcon Heavy rocket, scheduled for
launch later this year, would return to Earth. The boosters would land
vertically at a selected site. The Falcon Heavy will be the most
powerful rocket in the world, being able to lift more than 53 metric
tons, or 117,000 pounds, into low earth orbit.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81654.html

Canada Levitates Data from File-Sharing Sites
Canada's spy agency, the Communications Security Establishment, has been
eavesdropping on 102 free file upload sites, including Sendspace,
Rapidshare and Megaupload, which has been shut down. A CSE program
called "Levitation" lets analysts access information on 10-15 million
uploads and downloads of files from such sites daily, according to
documents released by whistle-blower Edward Snowden.

Today's Story Highlights

Tech-Savvy Cubans Build Their Own Private Internet
Because Cuba's government makes it difficult for all but a handful of
Cubans to access the Internet, people in Havana and other parts of the
country reportedly have linked thousands of PCs to create an informal
network known as "StreetNet," or "SNet" for short. The network was built
with commercially available equipment. The PCs are connected by WiFi and
Ethernet cables strung over rooftops.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81646.html

POS Terminals Rich Vein for Gold-Digging Hackers
Hackers are like gold miners. Once they find a rich vein for their
malware, they mine it until it's dry. Point-of-sale terminals are such a
vein, and it doesn't appear that it's one that's about to run dry any
time soon. Following the success of the Target breach in 2013, the
hacker underground was quick to rush more POS malware to market.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81645.html

Oculus VR's Story Studio to Create Cinematic Virtual Reality Experiences
Oculus VR on Monday unveiled a new project at the Sundance Film Festival
in Park City, Utah. Oculus Story Studio will produce movies in virtual
reality. It presented its first example of the genre on Monday evening
-- a 4-minute experience called Lost . Oculus, which was founded in
2012, was acquired last year by Facebook for a reported $2.2 billion.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81642.html

Wikileaks Steamed Over Google's Lengthy Silence on FBI Snooping
Google may have contributed to violating the First Amendment rights of
three journalists working for WikiLeaks two and a half years ago, when
it turned over to the FBI all their email, subscriber information and
metadata. Google informed the journalists about its actions last month,
saying that it had been unable to do so earlier due to a gag order.

Today's Story Highlights

Walk Like a Man: The DARPA Robotics Challenge
The humanoid Atlas robot made by Google company Boston Dynamics has
gotten an overhaul to be stronger, lighter and more independent, and to
be able to function for one hour of mixed-mission operations. Designed
by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, it
stands six feet two inches tall. Its weight was trimmed from 330 to 254
pounds.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81634.html

Microsoft's Windows Reboot Could Be Legendary
I was one of the launch analysts for Windows 95, and the launch of that
product is widely held -- including by Bill Gates -- as the company's
pinnacle. No launch before or since ever came close to that launch, and
I remain amazed that no one, including Apple or Microsoft, has ever
really attempted to duplicate that effort. Windows 10 has the potential
to be even greater than Windows 95.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81629.html

Gadget Ogling: A Microsoft Marvel, an Eensy Keyboard and an Ingenious Desk
Microsoft had a major surprise up its sleeve for those awaiting details
about the Windows 10 launch: its holographic headset, HoloLens. Billed
as a new way to interact with technology and the world around us at
once, it overlays holograms onto what wearers see in front of them. They
might, for instance, play a version of Minecraft that's constructed
across a kitchen table and chairs.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81630.html

Ford R&D Facility Rolls Into Silicon Valley
Ford Motor on Thursday announced the opening of its Research and
Innovation Center Palo Alto, a 25,000 square foot facility that will
help it accelerate the company's innovation in connectivity, mobility,
autonomous vehicles, customer experience and big data. This is the
latest addition to the automaker's global network of R&D centers, which
include its hometown facility in Dearborn, Michigan.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81632.html

Zenwalk Linux - A Walk on the Quirky Side
The developmental path and sketchy developer website may cast an
unfavorable impression about Zenwalk's trustworthiness as a serious
computing platform. The ho-hum impression when first running the live
edition does little to encourage users to take this Linux OS for a
stroll. Zenwalk Linux becomes a bit more impressive once you get beyond
the awkward first-time experience.

Today's Story Highlights

The Brave New World of Windows 10
Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled a slew of new features and capabilities
coming in Windows 10: the convergence of the desktop and mobile; the
advent of the killer universal app; more power and features for personal
digital assistant Cortana, which will be on mobile as well as desktops
and laptops; improvements to maps; a new browser; a strong emphasis on
gaming; and holographic computing.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81622.html

Quinn's Crash Override Combats Cyberbullying
Crash Override made its official debut last week, promising a new way to
support targets of online bullying and harassment. Cofounder Zoe Quinn,
a video game developer, is one of the better-known people on the
receiving end of such abuse. For her, it started when an ex-boyfriend
alleged in a blog post that Quinn had traded sex for favorable reviews
from a journalist for a video game news site.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81627.html

Acer Designs Chromebooks for Students' Rough Handling
Acer on Wednesday announced two new ruggedized Chromebooks geared for
classroom use. Both will go on sale in February. The Acer Chromebook
C910 and C740 have a durable design built around reinforced covers and
hinges. The new models support multiple user sign-ons and offline file
access. Security features include a Kensington lock to secure the laptop
to a wireless cart or lab station.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81624.html

Could Microsoft's Foggy Windows 10 Plan Be Any Smarter?
The most important and daring move that Microsoft made Wednesday is far
and away making the upgrade to Windows 10 free. Seems dirt-simple and
intuitive on the surface, but it represents a startling and abrupt shift
in both how users will relate to Microsoft and how Microsoft innovates
with Windows going forward. I'm an unabashed Apple fan -- but I can
appreciate a smart move when I see one.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81620.html

Microsoft Just Handed Us Our Holographic Future
Microsoft on Wednesday announced Windows Holographic, a feature in
Windows 10 that will let users create their own holograms and print them
out on 3D printers. Every Windows 10 device has holographic APIs
enabled, Microsoft's Alex Kipman said. Windows 10 holograms are Windows
Universal Apps. Users need the Microsoft HoloLens headset, which Kipman
described as "the first fully untethered computer."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81614.html

Ubuntu Aims to Make the IoT Snappy
Canonical on Tuesday unveiled Snappy Ubuntu Core, a new rendition of
Ubuntu targeting the Internet of Things. Snappy Ubuntu Core offers a
minimal server image with the same libraries as "traditional" Ubuntu,
but Snappy apps and Ubuntu Core can be upgraded automatically and rolled
back if necessary. Snappy runs on any device with an ARMv7 or Intel x86
processor and at least 256 MB of RAM.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81618.html

Verizon Offers Connected-Car Service Even Beaters Can Use
Verizon last week unveiled a new connected-vehicle service at the
Detroit auto show. Verizon Vehicle, which will go live this spring, will
be compatible with nearly every vehicle made since 1996. It will be
available directly to consumers regardless of their mobile carrier.
Designed to enhance driver safety, Verizon Vehicle will provide
diagnostic technology and live assistance with GPS accuracy.
