Today's Story Highlights

Apple to Sate iPhone Curiosity Sept. 12
Apple plans to refresh its iPhone, TV and watch lines at an event
scheduled Sept. 12. In addition to upgrading its iPhone 7 models, the
company is expected to debut the "iPhone 8" to celebrate the 10th
anniversary of the brand. It reportedly will have an OLED display with
barely any bezel, a fingerprint scanner at the rear of the phone, and
support for facial recognition and wireless charging.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84770.html

As New Turnaround King, Is HP Better Than Apple?
HP is the new turnaround king -- but is it better than Apple? IBM was
the king of tech in the 1980s, but in the 1990s it was the king of
turnarounds, after almost going under but coming back from a negative
brand equity, which occurs when folks will pay more for a no-name
product than one with a negative brand. Apple, at the end of the 90s,
was in much the same shape IBM was at the beginning.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84767.html

Window Maker Live: Cool Retro Look, Even Cooler Performance
Window Maker Live takes an unusual approach to desktop interface
management. It has an old-fashioned look with a productive new feel. The
latest version of Window Maker Live, released this month, is a Debian-
based Linux distribution that uses the Window Maker window manager as
the default GUI. It integrates well-known open source components in a
surprisingly satisfying interface.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84768.html

Google Connects Mobile Searchers to Depression Assessment Tool
The National Alliance on Mental Illness on Wednesday announced that
Google on mobile now provides people who search for the term "clinical
depression" with a direct link to the PHQ-9 questionnaire used by
medical professionals in the United States to evaluate patients for the
disorder. People can conduct a self-assessment by filling in the
questionnaire online.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84764.html

Microsoft Unveils Real-Time AI for Azure
Microsoft has unveiled a new deep learning acceleration platform
designed for real-time AI, codenamed "Project Brainwave." The platform
has three main layers: a high-performance, distributed system
architecture; a hardware deep neural network engine synthesized onto
field programmable gate arrays; and a compiler and runtime for low-
friction deployment of trained models.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84762.html

Microsoft, Red Hat Offer Enterprise Support for Containers in Hybrid Cloud
Microsoft and Red Hat this week expanded their nearly 2-year-old
alliance to bridge the gap between Windows and open source computing
with the launch of several new initiatives to help enterprise customers
more easily adopt container solutions. The announcement bolsters an
alliance that began in 2015, when Microsoft began offering Red Hat
Enterprise Linux as the preferred choice for enterprise Linux workloads
on Microsoft Azure.

Today's Story Highlights

Samsung's Note8 Is Its Biggest Galaxy Phone Yet
Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note8 smartphone, positioning the
oversized handset as the ideal choice for those who want to do bigger
things. The new Android-powered device's larger Infinity Display
features nearly bezel-less full-frontal glass and an edge-to-edge
screen. The Note8 comes with an improved S Pen that will allow users to
communicate in what the company called more "personal ways."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84759.html

Google May Have Pixel Chromebook Showcase, Tiny Home in the Works
Google appears to be planning a Pixel-branded Chromebook and a downsized
version of its Home smart speaker, following in the steps of Microsoft
and Amazon respectively. Along with two expected new Pixel phones,
Google this fall will unveil a Pixel-branded Chromebook and smaller,
lower-priced version of its Home smart speaker, according to a report.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84757.html

Kolab Now Is a Smooth On-Ramp for LibreOffice Online
As cloud popularity grows, so does the collection of free or low-cost
online office tools that services like Microsoft Office Online and
Google Docs/G Suite provide. However, those two major league offerings,
along with a swarm of other cloud-based productivity platforms, are
proprietary. Until now, online open source office suites have been
little more than vaporware.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84754.html

The Smart Home Appliance and You
The recent rumor that iRobot had engaged in talks with Apple, Amazon and
Google parent Alphabet to sell the data its Roomba vacuum cleaner
gathers caused widespread privacy concerns. Roomba maps homes -- the
spatial dimensions of rooms and distances between furniture and other
objects -- and the data it collects would be valuable to any of the
major players battling to control the smart home.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84751.html

Google Touts Android Oreo's Tasty New Features
Google has pulled the wraps off the latest version of its Android mobile
OS. Version 8.0 Oreo has a number of improvements over 7.1 Nougat, the
previous release of the OS. Google has tweaked Android's notification
feature, for instance, so when an app has notifications pending, a dot
appears in a corner of the program's icon. Press the dot and a window
will pop up showing the notifications.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84749.html

What Tech Companies Are Doing Wrong With Extremists
It is starting to worry me how little the responses by tech firms will
do to fix the problem of extreme views instead of just driving them
underground. This is largely due to the excessive focus firms now have
on how they are run. Companies tend to be run tactically, with officials
more likely to make decisions that will seem to make a problem go away
but do not deal with the cause of the problem.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84741.html

Heading in the Right (Re)Direction
If you've taken the time to get the hang of terminal basics, you're
probably at the point where you want to start putting together what
you've learned. Sometimes issuing commands one at a time is enough, but
there are cases when it can be tedious to enter command after command
just to perform a simple task. This is where the extra symbols on your
keyboard come in.

Today's Story Highlights

Merged VR: Augmented Reality Cubed
There is considerable development activity at the high end of hardware
and content creation for virtual reality and augmented reality, as well
as such AR aliases as mixed reality, extended reality and others. Most
industry investment is aimed at leading-edge gaming and industrial
application development. However, the low-end of the market is also
worth looking at.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84744.html

Report: Apple to Funnel Megabucks Into Original TV Content Development
Apple reportedly has decided to put more than $1 billion toward the
acquisition and development of original programming, part of a long-
awaited rollout of a new television and film experience. The investment
will leverage Apple's thus far underwhelming Apple TV business,
bolstering its core video and music library to fulfill the promise of
disrupting traditional television and film studios.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/84740.html

Gadgets: Trending Hot Plates, Toys for Future Coders, and a Ringy Dingy Ring
If you've looked at Facebook for more than a minute over the last few
years, there's no question that you'll have encountered a top-down,
perfectly filmed food video from BuzzFeed's Tasty channel. The cooking
clips are enormously popular on the social network, racking up billions
of views a month. Now BuzzFeed is trying to monetize its success in a
new way. Enter the Tasty One Top, a hot plate that seeks to make cooking
simpler.

CoreOS Tectonic Platform Aims to Free the Cloud
CoreOS on Thursday announced the general availability of the Kubernetes
container management Tectonic platform on Microsoft's Azure cloud. The
Tectonic platform enables enterprises to run Kubernetes on a single
platform across various cloud and bare metal environments. Prior to this
release, the Tectonic platform was available on Amazon Web Services and
bare metal servers.
