Today's Story Highlights

Women as CEOs: The Problems and the Promise
I've followed several female CEOs over the years. Most failed, largely
because they were both unqualified for the job and their boards didn't
back them up. In several cases, the board and the CEO seemed to be in
conflict, or the board failed to act. That has created the impression
that female CEOs are a bad bet. However, I believe the real problem is
that boards haven't been doing their jobs.

Protecting Against 'Natural' Cybersecurity Erosion
Every child who's ever played a board game understands that the act of
rolling dice yields an unpredictable result. In fact, that's why
children's board games use dice in the first place: to ensure a random
outcome that is -- from a macro point of view -- about the same
likelihood each time the die is thrown. Consider what would happen if
someone replaced the board game's dice with weighted dice.

In Technology We Trust... But Should We?
Since the industrial revolution, technology has changed society
continually. Largely due to innovations in semiconductor electronics,
software and computer technology, the pace of technological development
has continued to accelerate over the past 50 years. Personal computers
now fit into your pocket. You have access to people and information all
over the world through the Internet.

Amazon Has Big Plans for Alexa in Homes, Cars
Amazon will unveil eight new Alexa-powered devices for the car and home
before the end of the year, according to a report. They include a
microwave oven, an amplifier, a receiver, a subwoofer and an in-car
gadget. Amazon is expected to reveal some of the devices at an event
later this month. All the devices will connect easily to Alexa, and some
will have the voice assistant built in.

The Future of Open Source
Linux and the open source business model are far different today than
many of the early developers might have hoped. Neither can claim a rags-
to-riches story. Rather, their growth cycles have been a series of hit-
or-miss milestones. The Linux desktop has yet to find a home on the
majority of consumer and enterprise computers. However, Linux-powered
technology has long ruled the Internet.
