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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
