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.

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.

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.
