Today's Story Highlights

New MacBook: Computing Rethought
The Apple Watch may have dominated Apple's Spring Forward event earlier
this week, but an unexpected new MacBook could herald the future of
mobile computing. It will be available April 10. Thinness, lightness and
tomorrow's technology are its salient features. Its 12-inch Retina
display is 0.88 mm thick, and the MacBook itself is 24 percent thinner
than the 11-inch MacBook Air.

Security Experts Rap Clinton's Email Practices
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is in hot water over her use
of a private email server to handle emails for official business. The
practice was very risky cybersecurity behavior for everyone involved,
critics have alleged. In taking her mail outside the State Department's
systems, Clinton appears to have turned up her nose at the agency's
rules.

Solar Plane Completes 2nd Leg in Round-the-World Trip
Fueled solely by the sun, the Solar Impulse 2 has completed the second
leg of its historic journey around the world, landing in Ahmedabad,
India. A decade-old dream is actualizing for the team. The solar plane
began its historic flight in Abu Dhabi on Monday and landed early
Tuesday at Muscat, Oman. The second leg took 15 hours, with the Solar
Impulse 2 arriving late Tuesday night in Ahmedabad.

Evolve OS Is a Clean and Light Work in Progress
Evolve OS Beta 1 needs considerable fine-tuning to get to release
candidate status, but it has two innovations that distinguish it from
the crowd of Linux distro newcomers. This new arrival is built around a
home-made desktop called "Budgie" and a custom package manager forked
from Pardus Linux. I am always interested in new desktop approaches.
That's what drew my attention to Evolve OS.

What Mobile World Congress Delivered Besides Same-Old Smartphones
The latest handsets and tablets received their share of headlines at
this year's MWC, but their mindshare shrank considerably. Sony unveiled
its Xperia Z4 tablet, possibly its last hurrah in the mobile space.
Meanwhile, Samsung's Galaxy S6 smartphone stole the spotlight. However,
with more than 2,000 tech organizations promoting their wares and
services, MWC 2015 offered a fresh set of promises.
