Today's Story Highlights

Virtual Reality a Sports Training Game Changer
Quite a bit of buzz broke out recently in sports circles when the
Stanford quarterback was caught on ESPN sporting an Oculus virtual
reality (VR) face mask. Not that VR is totally new, but fans want more
out of their athletes and the sight of such a souped-up technical edge
on the field was a novel thrill. But that thrill won't be novel for long
as VR is headed for mainstream use in all sports.

First Ubuntu Smartphone to Arrive in Europe Next Week
The first smartphone to be powered by the open source Ubuntu operating
system will arrive at retail in Europe beginning on Monday, Feb. 9. The
Aquaris E4.5 will be offered to early adopters via a series of "flash
sales" across the continent. The unlocked phone will retail for 169.90
euros or roughly US$195, without the need for a contract.

Anthem Mega-Breach Jeopardizes 80 Million Consumers
Hackers broke into the databases of Anthem Inc., the second-largest
health insurer in the U.S., and stole up to 80 million customers'
personal information. The data includes current and former customers'
names, birthdays, medical IDs, social security numbers, street
addresses, email addresses and employment information, Anthem president
and CEO Joseph Swedish wrote in a note sent to customers.
