Today's Story Highlights

Meta Gives Devs a New Dream Machine
Meta on Wednesday began taking preorders for its Meta 2 augmented
reality headset, and announced it would begin shipping the US$949
product in the third quarter of this year. Meta has been working on an
experience that blends "the art of user interface design with the
science of the brain," CEO Meron Gribetz said during a session at last
month's TED2016.

Facebook Exec Sprung From Brazilian Jail
A Brazilian judge on Wednesday ordered the release of Facebook Regional
Vice President Diego Dzodan, one day after Brazilian police placed him
under arrest for WhatsApp's failure to produce messages the government
believed relevant to a drug ring investigation. Judge Ruy Pinheiro
concluded the exec's detainment amounted to coercion, according to press
reports.

Google Car Stubs Toe
One of Google's self-driving cars kissed a bus on Valentine's day,
marking the first accident in which the one of the company's autonomous
vehicles was at least partly at fault. Possibly too smart for its own
good, the self-driving car was attempting to reenter its previous lane
when it contacted a municipal bus. Google was testing a software update
when the incident occurred.

Report: 3.5 Million HTTPS Servers Vulnerable to DROWN
A report released Tuesday on the DROWN vulnerability raises concerns
about possible attacks that could expose encrypted communications. DROWN
is a serious vulnerability that affects HTTPS and other services using
SSL version 2, according to the team of security researchers who
compiled the report. The protocols affected are some of the essential
cryptographic protocols for Internet security.
