Today's Story Highlights

How Tech Could Help Creators Look Before They Leap
The folks who made The Emoji Movie apparently were worried about its
Rotten Tomatoes score -- it had earned a 0 percent rating at one point,
based on a scattering of early reviews -- so they stopped critics from
publishing further reviews until just before previews began running. The
result was a great opening day, but attendance fell off sharply because,
well, the movie sucked.

CTO Heather Wilde: Making the World More Like Star Trek Than Skynet
"I care about helping more women get into technology, so I spend a lot
of time teaching girls from sixth grade to high school so that they're
more educated about STEM fields," said Heather Wilde, CTO of ROCeteer
and TWIP. "I'm also chair of the engineering school's advisory board at
the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to help steer the school toward new
directions."

Is the Path to Secure Elections Paved With Open Source Code?
Increased use of open source software could fortify U.S. election system
security, according to former CIA head R. James Woolsey and Bash creator
Brian J. Fox. The two made their case for open source elections software
after security researchers demonstrated how easy it was to crack some
election machines at the recent DefCon hacking conference in Las Vegas.
