Today's Story Highlights

Apple Hopes iPhone 7 Extras Will Make Up for Missing Headphone Jack
Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday officially unveiled the iPhone 7 and
iPhone Plus, confirming a rumor that has evoked widespread dread: The
traditional headphone jacks are gone. The new iPhones are sleeker than
their predecessors, though, as well as water resistant. Their biggest
plus might be the advanced lenses in what Apple claims is the most
sophisticated smartphone camera in the world.

Gadget Ogling: Smart Desks, New-Wave Gaming, and Roaming Routers
After a long, laborious process and a lot of scraping paint splotches
from the floor, the office space in my new apartment is ready for me,
and I will soon no longer need to write this column from my kitchen
table. So, I'm in the market for a desk. With my nascent interest in
standing desks, the Gaze Desk seems a decent option. It switches between
standing and seated modes with a button press.

Obama Warns Against Cyber Cold War
President Obama on Monday urged de-escalation of a potential arms race
involving cyberweapons. The president's remarks followed his meeting
with world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the
G20 Summit in Hangzhou, China. The U.S. has more offensive and defensive
capability than any other country on Earth, Obama noted. The president
urged adoption of new cybersecurity norms.

Dell + EMC: History Is Made
I've been involved in mergers and acquisitions for decades, and I used
to run an acquisition cleanup team while at IBM. I've seen so many bad
acquisitions that it is generally far easier to point out the good ones.
What is somewhat ironic, given my background, is that the best largely
have been executed by Dell, using a process initially developed by IBM.

Sacking Jack May Anger iPhone Headphone Fans
Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak recently said removing the headphone jack
in the next version of the iPhone is going to "tick off a lot of
people." It's been rumored for months that Apple would be scrapping the
3.5 mm headphone jack in the iPhone 7 it's expected to unveil next week.
Such a move, Wozniak said, could upset users who have invested in
listening technology that uses the headphone jack.

FairWare Hackers May Take Ransoms, Keep Stolen Files
The latest ransomware intrusion that targets Linux servers, dubbed
"FairWare," may be a classic server hack designed to bilk money from
victims with no intent to return stolen files after payment in bitcoins
is made. The attack reportedly targets a Linux server, deletes the Web
folder, and then demands a ransom payment of two bitcoins for return of
the stolen files.

Nvidia, Baidu Team on Cloud-to-Car AI Platform
Nvidia and Baidu have agreed to collaborate on the incorporation of
artificial intelligence in a cloud-to-car autonomous vehicle platform,
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said Wednesday. The companies plan to
integrate Baidu's cloud platform and mapping technology with Nvidia's
self-driving computing platform. They also will work together to create
solutions for high-definition maps.

Can Apple Beat Snapchat and Instagram at Their Video Game?
Snapchat and Instagram, look out. Apple has you in its sights. The
company reportedly is working on a video-sharing app with features
similar to those found in Snapchat and Instagram. The app, possibly
slated for release in 2017, will allow users of Apple devices to record
a video, apply filters and draw on it, then share it with others on a
variety of social networks.

Massive Data Breach Puts French Sub Maker in Crosshairs
Officials in France and India are investigating a massive data breach
involving thousands of documents belonging to defense industry
contractor DCNS, which was scheduled to deliver six Scorpene-class
submarines to the Indian navy later this year. Hackers stole more than
22,000 pages of documents that included detailed technical information
on the vessels, some of which was published online.
