Today's Story Highlights

Smart Homes: The Power, the Pleasure and the Pain, Part 2
Smart homes are here. Although not every home is tricked out with the
latest technologies, they're no longer a rarity. For example, a hefty 41
percent of the respondents to an online survey conducted last year said
they already owned smart home devices. Sales of smart refrigerators and
washing machines more than doubled in 2017, and they will constitute
more than half the global market by 2021.

Mobility Steers Apple's New Education Strategy
Apple on Tuesday announced a refresh of its iPad as part of a new
approach to the education market. CEO Tim Cook and other Apple officials
also outlined a number of new education initiatives at an event held at
Lane Tech College Prep High School in Chicago. The new 32-gigabyte, 9.7-
inch iPad, which will sell to consumers for $329 and to students for
$299, has a more powerful processor -- Apple's Fusion A10 chip.

New Firefox Extension Builds a Wall Around Facebook
Mozilla has announced Facebook Container, a Firefox browser extension
that is designed to segregate users' activity on Facebook from their
other Web activity, limiting Facebook's ability to track them and gather
personal data. The extension is the culmination of more than two years
of research into developing a more private browsing experience, Mozilla
said.

Smart Homes: The Power, the Pleasure and the Pain
You've seen the ad: A family is vacationing out of town and the parents
suddenly wonder if the house is locked up properly. They use their
smartphone to remotely activate the smart locks and security system. Or
this one: Someone rings the doorbell or merely approaches a home, and
the homeowner uses a smartphone to speak through the video doorbell
system, even when not at home.

Today's Story Highlights

YouTube to Enforce Broad Ban on Gun-Related Videos
YouTube has announced that it will ban videos related to the sale or
assembly of firearms, as well as certain gun accessories including bump
stocks. Under the new rules, all videos that show how to construct or
even repair a firearm are banned -- even those from long-established
YouTube channels. The new policy also bans videos that show how to
reload ammunition.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85222.html

Researcher Cracks 'Hacker-Proof' Crypto Wallet
A virtual currency hardware wallet with millions of users has been
compromised. Saleem Rashid explained how he cracked the firmware on the
wallet produced by Ledger using what's known as a "supply chain" attack.
That means a targeted device is compromised before any users get their
hands on it. The attack on Ledger's $100 Nano S wallet creates a
backdoor on the device.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85219.html

DeleteFacebook Movement Gathers Steam
Many Facebook members reportedly have shuttered their accounts following
reports that Cambridge Analytica, a voter profiling company working for
Donald Trump's presidential campaign, harvested data from 50 million
users, unbeknownst to them. Indignation over Facebook's role in the data
leak has mushroomed, and some users have taken to Twitter to announce
their liberation from the social network.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85212.html

Nest Builds More Security, Flexibility Into Smart Home Products
The Nest Hello video doorbell and the Nest x Yale Lock are now
available, along with a new Nest Temperature Sensor -- the latest
addition to the company's smart home lineup. Owners of the Hello video
doorbell can use the Nest app for iOS or Android to see and converse
with people without opening their door. The x Yale Lock -- a tamper-
proof, key-free deadbolt -- also connects with the Nest app.
