Today's Story Highlights

Uber Launches 'Going My Way' Feature
Uber this week announced a feature that lets drivers set their
destinations twice a day for when they only want to pick up riders
traveling their way. The feature is rolling out this week in the Bay
Area, reportedly in the company's hometown of San Francisco first. "We
are focused on rolling [this feature] out to additional markets," said
Uber spokesperson Molly Spaeth.

Paris Attacks Deepen Encryption Debate
Encryption once again has come under fire in the wake of last week's
terrorist attacks in Paris. Western intelligence agencies reportedly
blamed the technology for enabling communications among the attackers,
and some officials renewed their calls for technology companies to give
them decryption keys. However, the terrorists may have communicated
through private messages on the PlayStation 4.

FBI Paid Carnegie Mellon $1M to Crack User IDs, Claims Tor
The Tor Project last week claimed the FBI paid Carnegie Mellon
University $1 million to crack the anonymity of Tor users. The claim
appears to have been triggered by a report that said the FBI's arrest of
an alleged member of Silk Road 2.0 was based on "information obtained by
a 'university-based research institute' that operated its own computers
on the anonymous network used by Silk Road 2.0."
