Today's Story Highlights

Roku Takes a Different Angle on Voice-Controlled Home Entertainment
Roku on Wednesday announced new software and a licensing agreement for
OEMs to develop smart speakers, soundbars and multiroom audio systems
that will allow customers to control their home entertainment devices
with simple voice commands. The company also introduced Roku
Entertainment Assistant, a new smart speaker technology that allows
customers to use voice commands on supported Roku-enabled devices.

New Lens Tech Can Shrink Cameras, VR and AR Gear
Harvard scientists on Monday unveiled a metalens that has the potential
to shrink the size of any device that uses a camera while at the same
time improving performance. While traditional lenses are made from
glass, metalenses use a flat surface peppered with nanostructures to
focus light. One problem with metalenses has been their inability to
focus the full spectrum of light.

Massive Intel Chip Security Flaw Threatens Computers
A design flaw in all Intel chips produced in the last decade is
responsible for a vulnerability that puts Linux, Windows and macOS-
powered computers at risk, according to multiple press reports. The flaw
reportedly is in the kernel that controls the chip performance, allowing
commonly used programs to access the contents and layout of a computer's
protected kernel memory areas.

Tech to Watch in 2018: Cryptocurrency, AI, Wearables
Guesswork is often involved in predicting the "next big thing" -- but
with CES just a week away, the future is almost now. The annual trade
show, as well as other industry events following one after another --
including ITExpo, Gitex and Mobile World Congress -- means there will be
no shortage of product announcements, technology unveilings, and
proclamations about the tech of the future.

Who's More Dangerous - the Sexual Predator or the Enabler?
There are three groups of people involved in sexual harassment: the
victims; the perpetrators; and those who cover up or enable the
perpetrators. Historically, we have put more pressure on the victims --
either forcing them to shut up to protect their jobs and careers, or
forcing them out of their jobs, which was totally wrong. There's been a
recent move to focus on the perpetrators/predators.
