Today's Story Highlights

The Internet of Medical Things, Part 1: A New Concept in Healthcare
Manufacturers are eager to lay the bricks and help pave the road to
better, more personalized healthcare through integration of connected
devices in the new Internet of Medical Things. Compared to other
industries, healthcare has been "inherently conservative and slow" to
embrace innovations such as the cloud and the Internet of Things -- but
that's changing.

Pichai Account Trespassers Claim Their Hacking Heart's in the Right Place
Hackers late Sunday broke into CEO Sundar Pichai's Quora account and
through it accessed his Twitter followers, according to reports. The
group taking credit for the breach, OurMine Security, previously hit
other prominent high-tech figures, including Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg, Spotify CEO Daniel Elk, Amazon CTO Werner Vogels and former
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

Makulu's LinDoz Is a Smooth Windows-Cinnamon Blend
If you want a classy distro with the look and feel of the Microsoft
platform, the MakuluLinux LinDoz edition will feed your nostalgia.
MakuluLinux developer Jacque Montague Raymer released MakuluLinux 11
LinDoz edition earlier this month after a year and a half in the making.
Forked from the Original Aero Edition, it first appeared with the
MakuluLinux 9 series.

Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Tries to Get Stickier
Twitter fans who want to dress up pix they post to the service can do it
with #Stickers, a new feature announced Monday. "Soon, you can browse
our rotating sets of stickers to join in on real-time conversations, and
select from the library of hundreds of accessories, emoji, and props to
make your photos more fun," said Sasank Reddy, a senior product manager
at Twitter.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83648.html

AI Playmate Cozmo Wants to Get to Know You
Anki on Monday introduced Cozmo, a little robot powered by an advanced
artificial intelligence. Cozmo promises to be far more interactive than
any toy robot that has been released to date. Although he's designed
with play in mind, the combination of technology from toys, videogames
and robotics represents a major leap forward, according to Cozmo's
creators.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83644.html

Gun Control and Learning to Make Data-Driven Decisions
We live in an unprecedented age of information and computing power --
yet whether publicly or privately, we still make decisions largely on
how we feel rather than based on hard information. With this massive
influx of data and computing power, when it comes to issues like global
warming or gun control, we are more likely to decide based on how we
feel rather than figuring out the facts.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83641.html

Fedora 24 Pushes Linux Boundaries
Red Hat this week announced the release of Fedora 24, an open source
Linux operating system maintained by the Fedora Project community.
Fedora Linux is the community version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or
RHEL. Fedora 24 is comprised of a set of base packages that form the
foundation of three distinct editions: Fedora 24 Cloud, Fedora 24 Server
and Fedora 24 Workstation.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83642.html

BitTorrent Dips Toes Into Ad Stream
BitTorrent on Thursday announced a revamp of its Bundle offering as a
pilot project, giving it a new name, "BitTorrent Now." Heavily used by
independent musicians and filmmakers, as well as the BBC and other
organizations, the service now accepts ads. BitTorrent Now's first
streaming app is available for Android. Apps for iOS and Apple TV are in
the works.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83638.html

Study: Third-Party Apps Pose Risks for Enterprises
Since mobile computing put an end to the good old days when IT
departments had absolute control over software deployed in the
enterprise, there's been a rise in employees' use of third-party
applications -- a rise that poses security risks to corporate
environments. That is one of the findings in a report CloudLock released
last week.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83635.html

Headphone Jack-less iPhone 7 Rumor Gains Ground
The rumor that Apple will get rid of the headphone jack in the iPhone 7
resurfaced Tuesday. Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone later
this year. The iPhone's Lightning connector reportedly will do double
duty as its charging port and headphone connector. The result will be a
thinner device and better water resistance. If true, the move "is right
in terms of timing," said analyst Jeff Orr.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83634.html

Twitter Applies '140' Rule to Video Seconds
Twitter on Tuesday launched enhanced video services that will allow
users to post longer videos -- up to 140 seconds. It also announced a
new platform for celebrities and public figures to share their stories.
Because sports, news, music and other videos increasingly are the type
of content that goes viral on Twitter, the company decided to expand
content parameters.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83633.html

Docker Tunes Up Engine Orchestration
Docker on Monday announced Docker Engine 1.12 with built-in
orchestration, which allows automated deployment and management of
Dockerized distributed applications and microservices at scale in
production. Users can select Docker Swarm mode to turn on built-in
orchestration, or they can use their own custom tooling or third-party
orchestrators that run on Docker Engine.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83632.html

Google Makes It Easier to Do the 2-Step
Google on Monday began rolling out a new two-step authentication
feature, Google Prompt, targeting enterprise employees. The new option
consists of a pop-up that displays a mobile user's name and profile
image, and that specifies the location and device involved in the
attempted sign-in. The device owner is asked whether to allow or deny
the sign-in.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83629.html

Gadget Ogling: Pliable Phones, Clever Kicks, and Sumptuous Speakers
Lenovo has peeled back the curtain on a smartphone that you can wrap
around your wrist, sporting a full-color screen. The "CPlus," as Lenovo
calls the prototype, runs Android and has a 4.26-inch display. It will
be available in 12 colors if and when it goes on sale. It's clear
bendable smartphones will be a viable consumer product in the near
future.

Today's Story Highlights

Plume Podifies Home WiFi
Plume last week introduced its eponymous self-optimizing WiFi system for
the home. Plume adapts in real life to the different network demands
made by various devices and ensures that each gets the fastest speeds
possible, according to the company. The recommended setup is one pod per
room and connecting space, such as a hallway, plus any cable or DSL
modem or any modem/router combination.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83626.html

AI for President
Andy Rubin, Android's daddy, last week made some interesting comments
about quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The part I agree
with is it won't be long until most things we have are connected to an
intelligent machine. However, when referring to something that will be
far smarter than we are, the use of the term "artificial" would not just
be inaccurate -- it would be rude.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83616.html

Linux Snap Package Format Goes Multi-Distro
Snapcraft -- the Linux package format Canonical developed for Ubuntu --
now works on multiple Linux distros, including Arch, Debian, Fedora and
various flavors of Ubuntu. They're being validated on CentOS,
Elementary, Gentoo, Mint, OpenSUSE, OpenWrt and RHEL. "Distributing
applications on Linux is not always easy," said Canonical's Manik
Taneja, product manager for Snappy Ubuntu Core.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83623.html

Google: Dare to Daydream
Google's Cardboard has proved to the masses that virtual reality is more
than a pipe dream. Inexpensive cardboard headsets leverage smartphones
to create makeshift head-mounted displays for low-level VR experiences.
For those whose fancies of owning a US$600 Rift or a $900 Vive were out
of reach, Cardboard was a way to keep their imaginations captive while
Google was dreaming of Daydream.
