2017: More Apple Security Flaws, Cyberattacks, Hacktivisim
More security vulnerabilities will appear in the software of Adobe and Apple than in Microsoft's, more attacks on the Internet's infrastructure
will occur, and cybersecurity events will stoke international tensions.
Those are a few of the predictions for 2017 that security experts have
made. Signs of hackers' increased interest in Adobe and Apple started
appearing in 2016, Trend Micro noted.

2016: The Year That Was
2016 really was a year like no other. We had yet another election defined by the misuse of analytics -- and folks seem to be getting worse
rather than better at this. We had a rush to robotics, particularly
self-driving cars, and some firms even leaped ahead to self-flying,
people-delivering drones. We had a wave of fake news, mostly paid for by
Google, because that company has no compass.

Fact-Checking the President-Elect's Tweets
Fact-checking President-elect Donald Trump can be a chore, even for people paid to do it. The Washington Post wants to make it less so, with
add-ons to the popular Chrome and Firefox browsers. The browser
extension, RealDonaldContext, is available from the Chrome Web Store or
the Mozilla Foundation. Once installed, the extension displays any fact-
checking the Post may have done.

Gadget Ogling: Heightened Hearing, Toasty Toes, and Glass Speakers
Bose's latest earbuds are designed to help you tune in to the specific sounds you want to hear. Hearphones are a sort of blend of noise-
cancelling earbuds and hearing aids. There are several presets in the
app, with names like "focused conversation," "gym," "airplane" and
"television." You can opt to crank up the volume on all sound from the
world around you or turn it down.
