Today's Story Highlights

Virus Attack on Chipmaker Could Delay Next iPhone
A computer virus over the weekend disrupted the operations of the Asian
manufacturer that makes chips for the iPhone and other devices offered
by top shelf high-tech companies. TSMC said that a virus outbreak Friday
evening affected a number of computer systems and fab tools at its
facilities in Taiwan. The incident likely will cause shipment delays and
create additional costs.

Behind Apple's Trillion-Dollar Company Numbers
Apple is one of the most popular and powerful companies in the U.S., and
last week it became the most valuable as well. That news brought back
some personal memories of my time at IBM, when it was the most powerful
and valuable technology company in the world. For a long time, it seemed
virtually untouchable. However, IBM went off the rails, and by the early
1990s the stock had collapsed.

Microsoft Surface Go Earns Strong Marks
Early reviews of the Microsoft Surface Go two-in-one, now available in
stores, mainly have been positive. "This Surface Go is far closer to
what people seem to want in a small product that's more focused on
productivity than the iPad has yet been able to deliver," said Rob
Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Reviewers have compared
it favorable to Apple's iPad and Google's Chromebook.

7 Ways to Supercharge Your Netflix Experience
We've all been there: scrolling through a seemingly never-ending
carousel of shows and movies available on Netflix, trying to find the
one thing we might want to sit down and enjoy. Except we often end up
spending more time looking for something to kick back and view than
actually watching the thing itself. But fear not! You too can optimize
your Netflix viewing experience.

ExTiX 18.7 Is Not Quite an 'Ultimate Linux System'
The latest release of the ExTiX Linux distro is a major disappointment.
ExTiX 18.7 has several shortcomings that make it troublesome to use. The
flaws easily might be fixed in a patched follow-up release. Still, to a
new Linux user, the problems inherent in ExTiX 18.7 give the Linux OS in
general a black eye. New releases of any software platform never come
with guarantees.
