Qualcomm, Microsoft to Give Cloud Services a Speed Boost
Qualcomm has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate
next-generation cloud services on the 10nm Qualcomm Centriq 2400 ARM-
based platform. The collaboration will span multiple future generations
of hardware, software and systems. The two have been working for several
years on ARM-based server enablement, optimizing a version of Windows
Server for ARM running on the Centriq 2400.

WikiLeaks Dumps CIA Hacking Docs Online
WikiLeaks on Tuesday dumped thousands of classified documents onto the
Internet, exposing hacking programs used by the CIA. The torrent of data
is just the first in a series of dumps WikLeaks is calling "Vault 7."
This first installment includes 8,761 documents and files stolen from an
isolated high-security network within the CIA's Center for Cyber
Intelligence in Langley, Virginia.

The Terminal Is Where Linux Begins - and Where You Should, Too
Once you have a sense of the vast potential of Linux, you may be eager
to experience it for yourself. Given the complexity of modern operating
systems, it can be hard to know where to start. As with many things,
computers can be better understood through a breakdown of their
evolution and operation. The terminal is not only where computers began,
but also where their real power still resides.

IBM's Quantum Leap Could Redefine 'Magic'
No, I'm not talking about that Quantum Leap . IBM just made a really
interesting announcement in that it is enhancing its online quantum
computer systems with a new API and improving its simulator so it can
handle 20 qubits. Listening to the prebriefing was a bit like pretending
I was Penny trying to understand Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory .

Google Invites Open Source Devs to Give E2EMail Encryption a Go
Google has released its E2EMail encryption code to open source as a way
of pushing development of the technology. "Google has been criticized
over the amount of time and seeming lack of progress it has made in
E2EMail encryption, so open sourcing the code could help the project
proceed more quickly," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT.
That will not stop critics, though, he added.

GIT CEO Adriana Gascoigne: More Women in Tech Means More Problems Solved
Prior to founding Girls in Tech, Adriana Gascoigne was one of very few
women working at a startup. "I'd look around the room every day and see
that there was a huge problem of representation. I knew we needed to
change the culture of the company to recruit more women and benefit more
women, but we also needed diversity in product development ... to make a
better product," she recalled.
