Today's Story Highlights

Defeating Malware With Its Own DNA
It's widely known that human DNA evidence has had a major impact in the
criminal justice system. Now another kind of DNA may have a similar
impact in the fight to eradicate malicious software. Malware DNA, also
known as "malware provenance," is the art and science of attributing
elements of one object to another object. The technique has applications
outside information security -- for example, in genetics, or to test the
authorship of student papers.

Daydream Believers May Boost VR, Suggest Early Reviews
Reviews for Google's Daydream View VR headset began to appear on
Thursday, and the consensus among those who were able to test the new
US$79 device appears to be two thumbs up. Although it has limitations,
Daydream could be a gateway to affordable virtual reality technology,
they suggested. The headset needs to be paired with Google's new line of
Pixel and Pixel XL phones.

Samsung's Next Galaxy Phone Could Have Siri-Like Smarts
Samsung Electronics this week revealed plans to unveil its flagship
Galaxy S8 mobile phone with a new digital assistant powered by AI. The
assistant will be based on technology gained with Samsung's recent
acquisition of Viv Labs. The plans call for Samsung to incorporate the
AI into its family of electronics and appliances, ranging from mobile
devices to wearable technology and home devices.

Google's Pixel Wins a Place in the Sun
Google's Pixel smartphone, which made its debut last month, has gathered
some high praise from reviewers. "The Google Pixel is now the best
Android smartphone you can buy," wrote Joanna Stern. "The other leading
contender was disqualified due to spontaneous combustion," she added,
referring to Samsung's doomed Galaxy Note7, which was recalled for
safety reasons.
