Customizing a Computer? Here's What You Need
There are plenty of reasons to build a custom computer. While custom
computers may initially be more expensive than prepackaged desktops or
laptops, they can provide you with nearly endless possibilities, whether
you're looking for a top-notch gaming machine, a system for mixing
music, or the ideal choice for developing Web applications. Custom is
the way to go for performance and flexibility.

China Aims to Wash VPNs Out of Its Hair
China this week announced new measures to further restrict its citizens'
access to the Internet. The 14-month campaign appears designed to crack
down on the use of Web platforms and services unapproved by the
government, and on virtual private networks, which can used to access
those platforms and services covertly. There is an urgent need for
regulation, according to the government.

Asus Tinker Board Joins Raspberry Pi on the Bargain Table
Just when you thought Raspberry Pi couldn't be knocked from its market-
leading perch, along comes Asus with a rival device that may give the Pi
a run for its relatively little money. Asus just launched its own low-
cost computer, the Tinker Board, which is being sold in the UK and
Europe for about $57. Its features could interest open source
enthusiasts in doing a little comparison shopping.

Samsung Explains Note7 Failure, Promises to Do Better
Samsung has announced new quality assurance protocols to ensure that it
won't have a repeat of the catastrophic issues that plagued its Galaxy
Note7 handsets. The company last fall issued a universal recall after
several of the devices caught fire or exploded. In one incident, an
aircraft had to be evacuated after a Samsung Galaxy Note7 caught fire
and produced thick smoke.

The US Press Corps vs. Trump: A Teachable Moment
Life is about negotiation. We negotiate our relationships -- including
marriage, which is a contract that many don't take seriously. We
negotiate our jobs, and we negotiate our interactions with our families.
Those who are good at this tend to have relatively happy lives. While
they don't get everything they might want, they get more than most. When
things degrade into wars, both sides lose.
