Today's Story Highlights

Blue Origin Rocket Sticks Landing
Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket this week made history when it landed
intact in Texas. The unmanned crew capsule returned safely from a test
flight that took it 330,000 feet into the air. The New Shepard could
become the first reusable booster -- it's scheduled to return to space
in a few months. It's now tucked into a storage facility at a launch
site in West Texas.

UHD TV - What's the Damage?
TV manufacturers could have a very good holiday season. Sales of Ultra
High Definition TV sets will exceed 330 million units by the end of
2019, according to Parks Associates. However, while the price of those
sets has fallen sharply, a report by the Natural Resources Defense
Council contended that UHD models use 30 percent more energy than their
HD predecessors.

Facebook Tests Tools to Make Breakups More Bearable
Facebook last week announced it was testing tools that will let people
manage their post-breakup life on its pages. "Today social media means
that you are guaranteed to run into your ex, and he or she might very
well be wrapped around a new partner," relationship expert Wendy Walsh
said. "Research has shown that those who don't disconnect electronically
have a harder time getting over a breakup."

Today's Story Highlights

Is This VR's Mainstream Moment?
Samsung last week began fulfilling orders for its Oculus-power Gear VR
headset, giving U.S. consumers their first taste of Oculus VR's brand of
virtual reality. International preorders have opened as well. It won't
be until early next year that Oculus VR begins shipping its full-
featured Oculus Rift headset, but as a Gear VR collaborator, it has been
touting Samsung's mobile-driven headset.

Fitbit Amps Up Tracking Features
Fitbit on Monday announced the addition of PurePulse heart rate tracking
and SmartTrack automatic exercise recognition to its Charge HR and Surge
devices. The PurePulse monitoring will be activated whenever the devices
are used in Exercise Mode, providing users with continuous, automatic
tracking of heart rate trends over time without the need for a chest
strap.

Vinux Enhances Productivity for Visually Impaired Users
Vinux 5.0 is a striking example of the flexibility and usability of the
Linux OS. Vinux is a fully functional Linux distro that caters to blind
and partially sighted users. It's based on Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04.3
LTS and gives users support through 2019. The latest version was
released earlier this month. It greatly improves on the usability
features of other Linux distributions.

New Tech Targets Enterprise Ransomware
SentinelOne last week introduced an addition to its behavioral solution
designed to address the problem of ransomware scrambling files on a
computer. Ransomware has been a scourge not only for consumers, but for
the enterprise, too. The malicious software can be particularly
nettlesome for enterprises because they have to protect many endpoints
-- phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and servers.

Today's Story Highlights

Dojo Stands Cybersecurity Guard for Smart Homes
Dojo-Labs on Thursday introduced Dojo, a device that plugs into the
router of a home network and acts as a watchdog to ensure that
everything connected to the network is operating on its best behavior.
The device brings some of the advanced technologies used to protect
corporate networks to the home. It can prevent attacks and detect
intrusions by observing how a device behaves on the network.

NASA Awards Space Robot R&D Projects to MIT, Northeastern
NASA on Tuesday announced it has awarded one R5 humanoid robot each to
MIT and Northeastern University to conduct research on adapting them for
use in space. The universities were selected from U.S. entries in the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Robotics Challenge held in
June. Each team will receive up to $250,000 a year for two years. They
also will get technical support from NASA.

Nvidia Updates Shield Tablet, Shaves $100 Off Price
Nvidia this week revealed a refreshed Shield Tablet K1 and indicated
that it isn't done updating the gaming slate. One of the biggest parts
of the refresh is a cut of $100 off the price of the 16-GB tablet. The
original Shield Tablet was available in a $299 16-GB version and a $399
32-GB variant. A new battery replaces the fire-prone cells that caused a
recall of the original Shield Tablets.

FBI, Carnegie Mellon Deny $1M Contract to Crack Tor
The FBI has denied allegations that it paid Carnegie Mellon University
security researchers $1 million to crack a network designed to protect
the anonymity of its users. The Tor Project, which operates the network,
last week accused the FBI of cutting the CMU deal. The attack on Tor
occurred from January to July 2014. The attackers discovered a way to
strip the anonymity of Tor users.
