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.
