Today's Story Highlights

Compliance Mindset Can Lead to Epic Security Fail
The recent data breach at Premera Blue Cross -- in which the personal
information of some 11 million customers was compromised -- raises
questions about how effective government regulators are at ensuring that
healthcare providers adequately protect their patients' data. There have
been abundant warnings that compliance with government regulations alone
would not be adequate.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81885.html

YouTube Fiddles With 4K
YouTube on Friday announced that it would begin supporting Ultra High
Definition 4K video content. YouTube officially unveiled the news via
TestTube, an incubator for new features concocted by its so-called mad
scientists. YouTube developers have posted six experimental videos that
can be streamed at up to 2160p -- essentially a resolution of 3,840 x
2,160.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81884.html

Retiring in a Tropical Paradise: Risks May Outweigh Rewards
One of the really attractive options for retirement is moving to another
country and, for a fraction of the cost of living in the U.S., living
like royalty. Well, I've been hearing a lot of stories about this over
the last year, and I think there is reason for concern. This isn't to
say that a lot of folks haven't done it successfully.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81880.html

Gadget Ogling: Shooting Flames, Flowing Time, and Locked-Up Temptation
Someway, somehow, it's apparently legal to own the XM42 flamethrower in
the United States, unless you happen to live in California or Maryland.
I can't fathom any circumstance under which a weapon -- let's not mince
words here -- capable of shooting flames 25 feet should be available for
anyone to pick up if they have $700 lying around to back Ion
Productions' crowdfunding campaign.

Today's Story Highlights

The Internet's Split Personality
The Internet has been good for education but bad for morality, according
to a study by the Pew Research Center. Researchers conducted face-to-
face surveys with 36,619 people in 32 developing countries. A median of
64 percent of respondents said the Internet has had a good influence on
education. On the other hand, a median of 42 percent said the Internet
has had a bad influence on morality.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81876.html

Twitter's Periscope Allows Live Stream Replays
Live streaming from mobile devices has been having a rebirth of sorts
with the proliferation of 4G, the continued rise of smart devices and
the quickening pace of the demise of feature phones. Twitter has been
seeking its own rebirth, and it's wagering that its renaissance will be
influenced largely by Periscope, a new live-streaming app that just
surfaced.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81873.html

CAPTCHAs May Do More Harm Than Good
If an annoyance contest were held between passwords and CAPTCHAs,
passwords would probably win, but not by much. CAPTCHA -- Completely
Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart -- was
created to foil bots attempting to mass-create accounts at websites.
Once created, those accounts could be exploited by online lowlifes for
malicious ends, such as spewing spam.

Today's Story Highlights

Ford Tech Could Put an End to Speeding Tickets
Ford Motors on Tuesday unveiled a new technology that can scan traffic
signs and automatically adjust a vehicle's speed accordingly. The
Intelligent Speed Limiter was demonstrated in Germany, but it will be
available worldwide in the newest edition of Ford's S-Max cars. The
technology features a camera mounted on the windshield that works with a
recognition system that can read roadside signs.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81865.html

Bodacious Bodhi Broadens Linux Desktop
Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 RC3's implementation of the Enlightenment desktop,
makes an awesome desktop computing platform for office or home. Bodhi is
one of only a handful of Linux distros embracing the Enlightenment
environment. Its developers call Bodhi the Enlightened Linux
Distribution . Beware if you try it: Bodhi Linux could easily become
your favorite Linux distro.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81869.html

What's in an Apple Name?
Apple has chosen some iconic names in the past, like the "iPod" and
"iMac." Apple even managed to take "iPad" -- which was widely panned for
evoking a feminine hygiene product -- and transformed it into the
popular lexicon of children and Wall Street analysts alike. However,
Apple does far more than give big and bold names to products -- it even
names key features.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81867.html

Leap Motion Faceplate Lets OSVR Head Talk to the Hand
It looks and sounds good, but virtual reality is still establishing how
to get around in the digital worlds it creates. OSVR has placed the
controls in the hands of Leap Motion, which may be a stellar move.
Leap's novel approach embeds the VR controls in a faceplate that can be
attached to an OSVR-compatible headset. The faceplate will be bundled
with OSVR's Hacker Dev Kit when it ships in June.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81868.html

Over-the-Air Tinkering Keeps Tesla's Model S New
Tesla CEO Elon Musk last week said that the company's line of high-end
electric cars will get some autonomous driving capabilities via an over-
the-air software update this summer. The new features will let drivers
give their vehicles control of certain tasks on major roads, possibly
even highways. Other software updates for the Tesla S already are
rolling out.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81863.html

Obama Lauds STEM Progress at White House Science Fair
President Obama on Monday announced $240 million in new pledges from
private businesses, schools and foundations across the country for STEM
-- science, technology, engineering and math -- education. The president
also announced that a national goal set four years ago to provide 98
percent of Americans with high-speed wireless Internet has been reached
ahead of schedule.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81855.html

Docker's No Flash in the Pan
Docker -- the open source application container technology that has
drawn broad interest from the enterprise IT industry -- recently marked
its second birthday. Judging by its growth and traction thus far, and
the example set by such open source projects as Linux, Hadoop, Android,
OpenStack and Cloud Foundry, expect big things from this young open
source software project and community.

Today's Story Highlights

Magic Leap Allows a Peek Into Its Crazy-Cool AR World
Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz was scheduled to present last week at a TED
talk in Vancouver, where he was expected to reveal the augmented reality
tech his company has up its sleeve. Magic Leap pulled out a few days
ahead of the presentation, but it left the tech world with a teaser
trailer showing an AR game being played on a working prototype of its
headset.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81860.html

Glass Is Still a Twinkle in Google's Eye
Google hasn't killed Glass, its controversial Internet-connected
eyewear, CEO Eric Schmidt said in an interview published Monday. In
fact, Google plans to bring out a new version of Glass later this year,
he said. Rumors of its demise seemed to be confirmed in January, when
Google abruptly stopped selling the initial version of Glass and
shuttered its Explorer program.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81858.html

The Big Implications of the Google, FTC Antitrust Scandal
A 160-page report that was far more complete than the FTC no doubt
wanted last week was leaked to the media, clearly showcasing that the
FTC staff recommended action against Google for anticompetitive
practices. The FTC commissioners then decided to let Google off the
hook, apparently because it made some minor changes. That move gave the
impression that the FTC was effectively in Google's pocket.
