Luckey Dons Virtual Flak Jacket for Zenimax Testimony
Palmer Luckey on Wednesday denied that he stole proprietary code from
ZeniMax Media, in the little-known company's blockbuster $2 billion
lawsuit against Oculus VR and Facebook. ZeniMax has alleged that in
2012, when Luckey was just a video game enthusiast, he corresponded with
John Carmack, who allegedly used proprietary hardware and software
information to develop the Oculus Rift VR headset.

Google Gives Google+ Some Nips and Tucks
Google has announced three new updates to Google+ in an effort to revive
interest in the faltering product. The added features will be rolled out
next week, when the old Google+ layout will vanish. Lower quality
comments will be hidden, although Google didn't explain how or by whom
comments will be judged. Google has tweaked the Google+ UI to display
more posts and less white space.

Microsoft Hardens Latest Windows Version Against Hackers
Microsoft has fortified the latest version of Windows to make it more
secure than previous editions, but the strongest protections will be
available only to those willing to pay a steep price for them. Windows
10 Anniversary Update has introduced many mitigation techniques in core
Windows components and the Microsoft Edge browser, researchers Matt Oh
and Elia Florio wrote in a blog post last week.
