Today's Story Highlights

Sony's SmartBand 2 Takes the Plunge

advanced heart rate sensor and a variety of communications capabilities.

notifications on social media sites. It sports interchangeable silicone
rubber bands in black, white, pink and indigo. The SmartBand 2 is
compatible with many Android and iOS devices.

Ashley Madison Hackers: Catch Them if You Can
The Ashley Madison hacker gang will be tough to apprehend. The hackers
this week dumped nearly 10 gigabytes of stolen personal data onto the
Web -- details gleaned from accounts established on the site, which is
dedicated to matching up people who want to engage in extramarital
affairs. It's "nearly impossible" to track down attackers, noted Bit9 +
Carbon Black's Ben Johnson.

Nothing Could Be Finer Than Point Linux
Point Linux 3.0, dubbed "Agni," combines a solid operating system with a
traditional no-frills approach to performance and reliability. In
several ways, Point Linux belies the criticisms of Linux desktop
newcomers who find that Linux not simple and straightforward to use.
Point Linux is easy to install. It has a clear interface. Everything
works out of the box.

Devs Get to Poke Around With Marshmallow
Google on Monday announced the official SDK for Android 6.0, aka
"Marshmallow." It also opened Google Play for devs to publish apps that
target the new API Level 23 in Marshmallow. Google further updated the
Android Support Library to v23, giving devs an easier way to make new
platform APIs, such as permissions and fingerprint support, backward
compatible.
