Today's Story Highlights

Norton Core Router Gives Home Security a New Design
Norton by Symantec on Tuesday announced the Norton Core secure router
for smart devices in the connected home at CES. The router protects up
to 20 PCs, Macs, Android and iOS smartphones and tablets on a home
network, and unlimited devices connected to the IoT. It will update its
firmware in background mode automatically, said Ameer Karim, GM of
consumer IoT security at Symantec.

Absolute Linux Caters to the Slackware Crowd
Absolute Linux is a distro that raises the question: Is it really worth
the bother? Any version of this Slackware-based Linux OS is just that --
a really big bother -- unless you love Unix-like systems that give you
total control. It likely would be especially bothersome for less
experienced users and for folks comfortable with Debian distros such as
Ubuntu, Linux Mint and such.

Looking Ahead to CES: This Will Be a Big One
CES week is here, and it's the one week of the year I look forward to
looking back on. CES is a killer show -- not because you are up to your
armpits in interesting new products, but because it is so spread out
that it'll kill your legs as you hike all over the damn place. One year,
I walked so much I actually ripped the soles off both shoes. This show
is weird, in that it really comes too early.

Germany Could Ding Facebook for Fake News
The frenzied 2016 election cycle mercifully is over, but Facebook's fake
news problem isn't going away. The company may face steep fines in
Germany if it fails to address it satisfactorily. A bill slated for
consideration next year would establish fines of up to $500,000 euros
per day for each day that a fake news story persisted after notification
of its falsehood was provided.
