Today's Story Highlights

Apple Gives Fans a Taste of New OSes
Apple on Thursday released to consumers a preview of the latest versions
of its mobile and desktop operating systems -- iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan
-- which contain a number of new features, including a revamped two-

two new smart folders. One collects selfies, and the other aggregates
screen shots.

Gentlemen, Start Your 3D Printers!
Local Motors this week unveiled designs for what it hopes will be the
first consumer-ready 3D-printed electric cars. The company plans to
build two versions of the Reload Redacted vehicle, based on a design by
engineer Kevin Lo, who took first place in the Project [REDACTED]
competition. Local Motors earlier this year demonstrated a concept
vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show.

Gunpoder Malware Masquerades as Lesser Evil
Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 team on Tuesday published a report on
Gunpoder, a family of Android malware that can evade detection scans by
pretending to be adware. Cong Zheng and Zhi Xu authored the report. The
team discovered the new Android malware last November. Its new report
aims to spur cooperation within the security community to mount defenses
against the threat.

Security Pros Shine Light on Shadowy Cyberspy Ring
A highly sophisticated group of hackers who use cutting-edge techniques
to shield their attacks from detection has been bedeviling corporations
around the world for several years. The group, which Symantec dubbed
"Morpho" and Kaspersky Lab calls "Wild Neutron," has hit multibillion-
dollar corporations in the Internet, software, pharmaceutical and
commodities sectors in at least 11 countries.
