Today's Story Highlights

Researcher's Airplane-Hacking Claims May Not Fly
A security researcher who last month bragged he'd hacked into a
passenger jet's internal computer systems while in flight appears to
have performed the act more than a dozen times over a three-year period.
Chris Roberts, founder and CTO of One World Labs, told FBI investigators
earlier this year that he'd hacked into the flight systems of commercial
passenger aircraft from 15-20 times.

NASA's $2.25M Challenge: 3D-Print a Space Base
NASA and America Makes have challenged innovators in the additive
construction market to design a habitat for deep space exploration for
the first stage of the competition and to fabricate such facilities in
the second phase. The organizations will award a $50,000 prize and a
pair of $1.1 million purses for the winners of the multistage challenge.
Registration opened for phase one on Saturday.

Makulu Gives Unity a Good Name
Makulu Linux now is one of the first major distros to integrate the
Unity desktop. It was more than worth the wait! The Unity desktop is
Ubuntu's flagship desktop environment. Canonical pushed through its
development several years ago as a way of introducing users to its
"unifying" computing platform for all devices. It removed the
traditional panel bar and two-column application menu.

Will Apple TV Be Busting Out All Over?
I want to believe that Apple will launch a new Apple TV hardware device
in June at its Worldwide Developers Conference -- but holy macaroni,
it's been more than three years since Apple introduced the third-
generation Apple TV. Of course, Apple made a barely noticeable hardware
tweak more than two years ago, but I'm begging for an Apple TV that's
far more than just a utilitarian tool.

The Future According to Qualcomm
I was at the Qualcomm Internet of Things event in San Francisco last
week during what was a major IoT event in the city. What is kind of
amazing is the larger event was just a small part of the applications
show that used to go on at the same time. This year it is twice the size
of that older show. Companies are flocking to this IoT concept like
ducks to water.
