Today's Story Highlights

Budget-Friendly Surface Tablet May Horn In on iPad's Turf
Microsoft plans to release a line of Surface tablets priced in the $400
range later this year, according to a report. The tablets are expected
to have 10-inch screens and rounded edges, and USB-C connectivity -- a
first in Microsoft tablets. They will be about 20 percent lighter than
the Surface Pros, and their battery life will be about four hours shy of
the 13.5-inch Surface Pro.

How to Back Up iPhone Data to an External Drive
A recent incident reminded me of the importance of backing up one's
phone regularly. Soon after carrying my recycling out to the curbside, I
realized I had misplaced my 6-month-old iPhone. Cue brief panic,
followed by deep concern that I'd somehow tossed my device into that
transparent bag I'd left outside for the world to see. That led me to
yelling "Hey, Siri" until the familiar chime sounded.

Highly Sensitive Encrypted Email at Risk of Exposure
A newfound flaw in email clients that use PGP and S/MIME to encrypt
messages can be exploited to expose the plain text of the missives,
according to a new paper. By injecting malicious snippets of text into
encrypted messages, attackers can use the flaw to make the email client
exfiltrate decrypted copies of the emails, explained the authors, a team
of researchers from three European universities.

Open Source Is Everywhere and So Are Vulnerabilities, Says Black Duck Report
Black Duck by Synopsys has released the 2018 Open Source Security and
Risk Analysis report, which details new concerns about software
vulnerabilities amid a surge in the use of open source components in
both proprietary and open source software. The report provides an in-
depth look at the state of open source security, license compliance and
code-quality risk in commercial software.

Tech Career Checklist: Aggressive Diversity, Cold Cash
I've become convinced that too many of us don't prioritize our
employment choices properly. What recently drew my attention to this was
a conversation I had with Dell's CFO Tom Sweet at Dell Technology World.
We were chatting about Dell's problem attracting employees. Because Dell
is a private company, few employees get stock or stock options -- they
get cash instead. It seems that has put Dell at a disadvantage when
competing for top folks.
