Today's Story Highlights

Alexa and Cortana: Two AI Heads May Be Better Than One
Microsoft and Amazon have released a public preview of the integration
of their Cortana and Alexa voice assistants. Cortana will be available
on amazon Echo devices, while Alexa will be available on Windows 10
devices and on Harman Kardon Invoke speakers. "Our ongoing goal has been
to make Cortana your intelligent assistant, wherever you need
assistance," a Microsoft spokesperson said.

Nvidia's Turing Chip Opens Door to New Virtual Reality Realm
Nvidia has announced a powerful new graphics architecture with the
potential to blur the line between virtual and actual reality. Nvidia
CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the new chips at the company's SIGGRAPH 2018
event in Vancouver, Canada. The Turing architecture enables a new
generation of hybrid rendering that can be used to create cinematic-
quality interactive experiences.

Farsight Security COO Alexa Raad: 'Be Your Own Champion'
"If you think about Internet threats like phishing and botnets and
malware -- all of those start with a DNS -- a domain name system. And so
every kind of nefarious act leaves footprints and fingerprints in the
DNS. That's something that cannot be faked," said Farsight Security COO
Alexa Raad. For example, "a lot of the new domain names that are
registered are typically registered with bad intent."

The Weird Mistakes Killing Tesla
Tesla is trending to fail spectacularly. It has been burning cash at an
unsustainable rate, and it keeps making avoidable mistakes that weaken
it. Here's what is weird: You'd think the firm's biggest problem would
be that every large car maker was working behind the scenes to kill it.
However, the car companies for the most part appear to have worked
harder to emulate Tesla than to destroy it.

At-Home Eldercare Goes High Tech
The call came in less than an hour before the 8 a.m. shift was scheduled
to start: A family emergency meant the regular caregiver for an elderly
client couldn't make her shift that day, so a replacement caregiver was
needed ASAP. Homewatch CareGivers of San Juan Capistrano had to quickly
send a substitute from its pool of licensed, trained and security-bonded
caregivers.
