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.

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.

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.

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.
