Lockscreen Bug Fix Conspicuously Absent in iOS 9 Update
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Timeline
LibreOffice 5.0 Is the Office Suite Champ

Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Pebble Goes Round, VR Hits Movies, and Smart Locks Lose Keypads
The latest Pebble looks a touch different from previous models of the
smartwatch. Instead of a square screen with rounded edges, it bears a
circular watch face. The Pebble Time Round also is thinner and lighter
than its siblings, but it's not as water-resistant. More importantly,
the battery doesn't last as long -- a couple of days rather than a week.
That earns it a black mark.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82537.html

Lockscreen Bug Fix Conspicuously Absent in iOS 9 Update
Apple has released the first update to its new iOS 9 operating system to
clean up some bugs in the original version of the software. Bugs
addressed in the update, iOS 9.0.1, include a system freeze on the slide
to update screen, alarms and timers that would fail to go off, and frame
distortion in paused videos. One bug Apple didn't address allows an
intruder to bypass a device's lockscreen.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82535.html

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Timeline
That trip down memory lane may never be the same. Those who feel their
Facebook Timeline leaves out any important moments in their lives can
call up Google Maps' Timeline to fill in the blanks. With tech tools
like these, who needs enemies? There may be some things you'd rather not
remember -- and there probably definitely are things in your past that
you'd rather others didn't know.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82532.html

LibreOffice 5.0 Is the Office Suite Champ
LibreOffice 5.0, The Document Foundation's latest open source office
suite, deserves to top the list of contenders for best performance in
this category. The foundation last month released LibreOffice 5.0 for
Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It is the 10th major release since the
launch of the project, and the first in the third development cycle. The
release coincides with the rollout of Windows 10.

Today's Story Highlights

The Rich Get Internet-Richer While the Poor Get None
Efforts to increase Internet access worldwide are falling short of
targeted goals, according to a United Nations Broadband Commission
report released earlier this week. More than half the world's population
is still offline, according to the report, and growth in the number of
people with access to the Internet is slowing. The digital divide has
become a chasm.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82530.html

Review Roundup: iPhone 6s Joy Depends on Where You're Coming From
Notices for the new iPhones have started appearing, and Apple's hardware
once again is being bathed in critical acclaim, with just a few cries of
discontent. The new capabilities in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus may appear
underwhelming to some observers, but not to Walt Mossberg. "These are
things that improve the quality of the phone while generally making a
fluid, powerful product even better."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82527.html

Apple Car Talk Starts Making Sense
The Apple car rumor gained some legs this week with a report that brings
some interesting new insight. Though a bit shy on verifiable details --
it cites unnamed people familiar with Apple's plans and vaguely refers
to people inside Apple -- the report suggests the company will triple
its current 600-person team to 1,800 people as it ramps up its car
development effort, code-named "Titan."

Today's Story Highlights

DMV Meeting Revs Apple Car Rumors
Apple executives reportedly met with officials from California's
Department of Motor Vehicles regarding the company's plans to test an
autonomous vehicle. Mike Maletic, senior legal counsel for Apple, had an
hour-long meeting in August with California's autonomous vehicle
experts, including the cosponsors of the state's autonomous vehicle
regulation project.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82516.html

Carly Fiorina vs. Donald Trump: The Fascinating Difference
Watching the Republican debates has been a fascinating experience,
because I started following Carly Fiorina when she first took over HP. I
thought then and I still think that Steve Jobs was the only one to match
her on-stage presence and skill set. History has proven her assertion
that it was HP's board, not it's CEO, that was the primary problem that
needed to be fixed while she was there.

Gadget Ogling: Fresh Fires, Tablet Touches, and Underwater Drones
In case you didn't already know it, Amazon has designs on taking over
your television, and Fire TV seems a strong competitor to the refreshed
Apple TV. Fire TV's big advantage is that it can stream video in ultra
high-def 4K, while Apple TV cannot. Nor can Roku or Chromecast. There
already are some fine games available for Fire TV, and there's a gaming
edition available with a controller.

Today's Story Highlights

Blue Origin Rockets Into Cape Canaveral
Blue Origin on Tuesday announced plans to launch rockets from a Cape
Canaveral launchpad, which it has leased from NASA. "The site saw its
last launch in 2005, and the pad has stood silent for more than 10 years
-- too long. We can't wait to fix that," said Blue Origin CEO Jeff
Bezos, who is also the founder of Amazon. It's the sort of thing the
folks at NASA like to hear. People are interested in space again.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82511.html

Apple Dresses iOS to the Nines
Apple on Thursday released iOS 9, the latest version of its mobile
operating system. Although more evolutionary than revolutionary, it has
some useful additions. The good news is that iOS 9 works on much of
Apple's existing hardware. If your device can run iOS 8, it should be
able to run iOS 9. However, some of the software's features are
available only on the newest iOS devices -- the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus,
and the iPad Pro.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82508.html

ExTiX LXQt Breathes New Life Into Weak Hardware
The latest release of ExTiX offers a new spin on an old desktop
environment and exhibits a passion for speed and ease of use. ExTiX
15.3, a fusion of the LXDE and Razor-qt desktop environments, has the
economy of working in the LXQt desktop environment. LXQt is lightweight,
modular, very fast and user-friendly. It is based on the popular LXDE --
that is, Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.

Pokémon GO Steps on the Mobile AR Gas
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company teamed up with Niantic on an augmented
reality project, complete with a wearable Poké Ball that just might be
the next best thing to filling Pokédex with pocket monsters. Pokémon GO
players will have the opportunity to catch, trade and battle Pokémon
characters wandering the wilds of the real world when the game launches
next year.
