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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
