Today's Story Highlights

3 Teams Qualify for Tube Test in Hyperloop Pod Competition
Elon Musk's hyperloop dream began to take shape in reality last weekend
as 27 teams, including six from outside the U.S., participated in a
competition to create the mass transit vehicle of the future. The
competition in Hawthorne, California, sponsored by SpaceX, which Musk
founded, attracted teams made up mostly of students who created pods
designed to run on hyperloop transportation systems.

Hackers Targeted DC Police Cams Days Before Inauguration
A ransomware attack darkened the video surveillance system of the
District of Columbia's police department eight days before the
presidential inauguration of Donald J. Trump. Video storage devices for
70 percent of the CCTV system reportedly were unable to record anything
between Jan. 12 and Jan. 15, as police techies scrambled to combat
malicious software found on 123 of 187 networked video recorders.

BlackBerry, Microsoft and the Ever-Smarter Connected Car
BlackBerry last week announced that its turnaround was finished, and
Microsoft finally provided some information on its new connected car
deliverables. One strange thing was that after CEO John Chen excitedly
pointed out that BlackBerry had displaced Microsoft in Ford, he then
announced a strategic initiative to work more closely with Microsoft on
BlackBerry's own market-leading QNX car OS.
