Today's Story Highlights

BlackBerry: The Most Important Mobile Company of the Future?
If you are like many, when you saw this headline you likely were
surprised BlackBerry was still around. As BlackBerry phones left the
market, the company fell out of sight. However, behind the scenes it has
been moving into industries like automotive. Also, it remains the
leading vendor providing mobile security to our politicians, military
personnel and major corporations.

Newly Revealed Flaw Could Subject IoT Devices to Airborne Attacks
Billions of voice-activated IoT devices may be subject to external
attack due to BlueBorne vulnerabilities, Armis revealed. Hackers could
exploit BlueBorne to mount an airborne attack, using Bluetooth to spread
malware and access critical data, including sensitive personal
information. More than 20 million Amazon Echo and Google Home smart
speakers could have been impacted by the flaws.

The Rise of AI: Give Me That New Time Religion?
Anthony Levandowski, known for his work developing self-driving auto
technology, reportedly has started the world's first artificial
intelligence-based religion. Levandowski, who has been at the center of
a legal dispute between Google's Waymo self-driving unit and Uber, has
cast himself as the frontman for the Way of the Future church. The
mission of this "technotheistic" movement is spelled out in documents
filed with the IRS.

New Firefox Runs Like a Rabbit
New version releases of browsers don't get the buzz they used to get,
but Firefox Quantum is an exception. The latest version of the Mozilla
Foundation's browser, released Tuesday, is all about performance.
Firefox is twice as fast as it was a year ago, Mozilla claimed. It is
not only fast on startup -- it remains zippy even when taxed by
multitudes of tabs.

Gadgets: A Waterproof Reader, Phone That's Got Game, Gloves That Make Paying Up Comfy
One of the great joys of reading is that you can do it anywhere. A
relaxing bath is a prime opportunity for getting through a few chapters,
but woe betide those who let their paperback slip into the tub or
accidentally splash water into the most delicate part of an e-reader.
And, lo! Amazon has a solution with its Kindle Oasis. The device can
survive in fresh water up to a depth of two meters for as long as an
hour.

Take Linux and Run With It
"How do you run an operating system?" may seem like a simple question,
since most of us are accustomed to turning on our computers and seeing
our system spin up. However, this common model is only one way of
running an operating system. As one of Linux's greatest strengths is
versatility, Linux offers the most methods and environments for running
it.
