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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
