Today's Story Highlights

Hyperloop Dreams May Become Concrete
SpaceX this week announced plans to construct a mile-long Hyperloop test
track next to its headquarters in Hawthorne, California, scheduled for
completion by June 2016. The company concurrently announced an open
competition for university students and independent engineering teams to
design and build the best Hyperloop pod. Entrants will be able to test
their pods on the track.

Google Takes It to the Streets
Google last week announced the formation of a new company that will
develop technology to improve city life for residents, businesses and
governments. Google has teamed up with Dan Doctoroff -- former Bloomberg
CEO and ex-deputy mayor of economic development and rebuilding for the
City of New York -- to advance the effort. Doctoroff will be CEO of
Sidewalk Labs, which will be based in New York.

Antergos Linux Lowers the Arch Barrier
Antergos is an Arch-based Linux distribution that offers six desktop
choices. This is a distro that Linux tinkerers might well embrace, but
it comes with a few more stumbling blocks than other Linux options,
which could make it a less welcome alternative. Its developers created a
cute logo that espouses the notion that Antergos is a distro "for
everyone." In some ways, that is true.
