Online Freedom of Speech May Be in Peril: Pew
Trolling, cyberbullying, harassment and just plain nastiness have become
commonplace online, and this situation is likely to remain unchanged or
worsen over the next decade, suggests a Pew Research report released
Wednesday. Researchers polled more than 1,500 technology experts,
academics, and business and government leaders on the future of free
speech online.

Galaxy S8, S8+ Dazzle in Samsung's Comeback Launch
Samsung on Wednesday launched the Galaxy S8 and S8+, its next generation
of smartphones. They feature major improvements in design and security
processing power, as well as new digital assistant technology that may
challenge the best devices on the market. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are
available with 5.8 inch and 6.2 inch screens respectively. Both sport an
infinity display using Corning Gorilla Glass, and a bezel-less design.

Cloud Foundry Aims to Close Cloud Skills Gap
The Cloud Foundry Foundation has announced the launch of a worldwide
cloud-native developer certification initiative. The foundation created
the program to fill the widening gap of trained programmers for cloud
apps and services. The Linux Foundation -- which has trained and
certified more developers on open source software than any organization
in the world -- will provide the instruction.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84419.html

Elon Musk Plans to Build a Human-AI Interface
Tech visionary Elon Musk has launched a startup, Neuralink, dedicated to
developing technology that will connect human brains directly to a
computer. This venture is in its very early stages, Musk confirmed.
Neuralink, which Musk is funding privately, is a medical research firm
that aims to develop "neural lace" -- a technology that could allow the
implanting of small electrodes into the brain.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84415.html

Too Much Communication
The world is a smaller place because we have so many ways to connect and
communicate, but it has created a generation gap, a gap of classes and
perhaps even a culture gap. This may seem like a serious contradiction;
after all shouldn't more means of communication bring us closer
together? The obvious answer is yes, but unfortunately this is not the
case.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84410.html

Red Hat Pilots New Program to Ease Digital Transformation
Red Hat on Monday announced a new Application Platform Partner
Initiative at its North America Partner Conference in Las Vegas. The
goal is to provide a more robust ecosystem for companies engaging in
digital transformation. The company has started conducting tests in a
pilot program with a small number of solutions-oriented consulting
partners in North America.

UK Home Secretary: Apps Shouldn't Serve as Terrorist Hiding Places
UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd on Sunday called for greater government
access to encrypted content on mobile apps. Apps with end-to-end
encryption, like Facebook's WhatsApp, should not be allowed to conceal
terrorists' communications from law enforcement, Rudd said in a
television interview. "There should be no place for terrorists to hide,"
she said.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84409.html

Don't Let the Next Catastrophic Phishing Scandal End Your Career
What I think is amazing about all of the massive data breaches we hear
about is that we know most are not reported. For every email, customer
record, or financial theft in the news, there likely are hundreds that
remain in the shadows. Yet another incident came to light last week. A
clever Lithuanian individual was able to pull a whopping $100 million
from a bunch of unnamed Internet companies.

Today's Story Highlights

Group Demands Apple Pay Ransom for iCloud Credentials
Apple has received a ransom threat from a hacking group claiming to have
access to data for up to 800 million iCloud accounts. The hackers, said
to be a group called the "Turkish Crime Family," have threatened to
reset passwords and remotely wipe the iPhones of millions of iCloud
users if Apple fails to hand over a total of $700,000. They have given
the company an ultimatum to respond by April 7.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84406.html

WikiLeaks Exposes CIA's Device Surveillance Tricks
WikiLeaks has released more Vault 7 documentation online, including
details about several CIA projects to infect Apple's Mac computer
firmware and operating system. The site unloaded its first batch of
stolen Vault 7 data earlier this month. The CIA's Embedded Development
Branch developed malware that could persist even if the targeted
computer were reformatted and its OS were reinstalled.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84401.html

OpenSuse Leap Reinforces Linux Faith
OpenSuse Leap 42.2 goes a long way toward maintaining Suse's reputation
for reliability and stability. That said, new users might need a push to
take the leap from their familiar distros to this latest OpenSuse
release. Business users can remain confident that upgrading to the
latest edition, released last fall, won't put them too close to the
bleeding edge of innovation.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84399.html

Apple Unveils Budget-Friendly iPad, Dresses iPhone in Red
Apple has announced an iPad update, a red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and a new
video-editing app for iOS. The iPad upgrade has a 9.7-inch, 2048 x 1536-
pixel Retina display and Apple's A9 64-bit processor. The unit will come
in silver, gold and space gray with a starting price of $329 for 32
gigabytes of storage and WiFi-only support. It will cost $459 for a 32-
GB unit with WiFi and cellular support.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84395.html

Google Gives Devs First Look at Android O
Google on Tuesday unveiled a developer preview of the latest version of
its mobile operating system, code named "Android O." The new OS is
designed to improve on battery life and interactive performance of
devices, according to Dave Burke, vice president of engineering,
Android, at Google. The new release puts automatic limits on what
applications do in the background in three areas.

Today's Story Highlights

Apple May Alter the AR Competition
Apple is stockpiling resources to make a splash in the augmented reality
market. The company reportedly is not only marshaling internal resources
behind its AR efforts, but also hiring talented outsiders and acquiring
companies with expertise in AR hardware, 3D gaming and virtual reality
software. The new outsiders include engineers who worked VR headsets for
Google and Microsoft.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84391.html

Why Tech Can't Help Donald Trump and Most CEOs
The new president is making almost the identical mistake President Obama
made during his first two years. Trump has picked a major entitlement to
hang his hat on -- the same major entitlement, healthcare -- and shortly
will discover what most CIOs know: You don't mess with anything that
touches everybody. The likely outcome will be that like Obama, Trump
will lose the house in the next election.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84388.html

IBM Launches Enterprise-Strength Blockchain as a Service
IBM has unveiled the first enterprise-ready Blockchain as a Service
offering based on The Linux Foundation's open source Hyperledger Fabric.
IBM Blockchain, which lets developers quickly establish highly secure
blockchain networks on the IBM cloud, is a transformative step in being
able to deploy high-speed, secure business transactions through the
network on a large scale, the company said.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84390.html

Crafty Phishing Technique Can Trick Even Tech-Savvy Gmail Users
Gmail users recently have been targeted by a sophisticated series of
phishing attacks that use emails from a known contact. The emails
contain an image of an attachment that appears to be legitimate,
according to Wordfence. The sophisticated attack displays
"accounts.gmail.com" in the browser's location bar and leads users to
what appears to be a legitimate Google sign-in page.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84386.html

Google Unveils Guetzli, Open Source JPEG Encoder, to Speed Browsing
Google on Thursday announced Guetzli, a new contribution to its evolving
set of tools for the open source community. Guetzli is an encoder that
allows JPEG files to be compressed as much as 35 percent, resulting in
much faster Web page loading. "Guetzli," which means "cookie" in Swiss
German, allows users to create smaller JPEG images.
