Today's Story Highlights

What the Traditional Car Companies Don't Seem to Get
Two interesting events took place this month. Tesla announced its Model
3, a relatively affordable electric car, and it attracted around 180K
preorders on the same day. That was before the company actually revealed
the car. There were more than 250K preorders in the first 36 hours. Oh,
and the run rate is about 1,500 per hour of pre-orders for this car
right now.

Windows Users Warned to Dump QuickTime Pronto
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Thursday issued a warning to
remove Apple's QuickTime for Windows. The alert came in response to
Trend Micro's report of two security flaws in the software, which will
never be patched because Apple has ended support for QuickTime for
Windows. Computers running QuickTime are open to increased risk of
malicious attack or data loss, US-CERT warned.

Facebook Envisions Virtual Social Future
Facebook on Wednesday demonstrated at its F8 developer conference how
socializing could take place in a virtual world. Two employees some 30
miles apart showed how they could share the same virtual space. Through
the use of 360-degree photos, they visited London, drew together with
virtual pens, and took selfies and posted them to their Facebook news
feeds.
