Today's Story Highlights

Former White House CIO Theresa Payton: 'There Are Grave Concerns About Election Interference'
Theresa Payton, CEO of Fortalice Solutions, is one of the most
influential experts on cybersecurity and IT strategy in the United
States. She is an authority on Internet security, data breaches and
fraud mitigation. She served as the first female chief information
officer at the White House, overseeing IT operations for President
George W. Bush and his staff.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85641.html

What Can We Expect From AI?
Fear mongering about killer robots and the recent deaths connected with
Uber and Tesla autonomous vehicles have rekindled concerns about AI in
the machines around us. We are well beyond answering Alan Turing's
question, "can machines think?" There is now good reason to ask how we
should think of AI, and what we should expect from it. There have been
phenomenal advances in just the past few years.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85640.html

Another Milestone Achieved: Run Linux Apps on a Chromebook
Linux apps now can run in a Chromebook's Chrome OS environment. However,
the process can be tricky, and it depends on your hardware's design and
Google's whims. It is somewhat similar to running Android apps on your
Chromebook, but the Linux connection is far less forgiving. If it works
in your Chromebook's flavor, though, the computer becomes much more
useful with more flexible options.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85639.html

The CLOUD Act's Privacy Repercussions for Global Businesses
Just when the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, or
GDPR, was about to go into effect, the United States Congress created
the CLOUD Act. Without any public hearings, review or public comment,
Congress passed the legislation as part of the $1.3 trillion government
spending bill. The CLOUD Act changed the privacy provisions that
previously were in effect.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85637.html

Will Oracle Roil the DB Market?
When we write the history of the IT era, the big factor that has played
an important but not well recognized role will be hardware --
specifically, the Oracle Exadata appliance that puts databases into
memory. All of the cloud software starting with the autonomous database
on view this week at OpenWorld would be vastly different if the database
was still running primarily on disk drives.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85634.html

The Rise of Activist Employees in the Tech Industry
Things have been changing at an almost unprecedented rate with regard to
power structures. The last time I saw this happen was in the 1970s, when
the EEOC took off. Suddenly a lot of the off-color, sexist and racist
jokes that many executives regularly told could get them fired. A
surprisingly large number of people got reassigned, fired, demoted, or
otherwise punished.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85626.html

Mostly Hotly Sought-After Linux Skills
The Linux Foundation's 2018 Open Source Technology Jobs Report shows
rapid growth in the demand for open source technical talent, with Linux
skills a must-have requirement for entry-level positions. Linux coding
is the most sought-after open source skill. Linux-based container
technology is a close second. The report provides an overview of open
source career trends.

Today's Story Highlights

6 Tips for Managing Data Before an Emergency Strikes
Think about planning for a natural disaster emergency that might affect
your home. You'd likely store some water, flashlights, food, blankets
and other essentials. The key element of your planning would be
proactivity. You'd do all of the work before an emergency occurred, not
during the actual crisis. If your supplies were used up after the
emergency passed, then you quickly would restock.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85627.html

2nd New MakuluLinux Release Offers Flash and Substance
The MakuluLinux Flash distro is splashy and fast with a spiffy new look
and new features. MakuluLinux developer Jacque Montague Raymer just
announced the second of this year's three major releases in the Series
15 distro family. The Flash edition follows last month's LinDoz edition
release. The much-awaited innovative Core edition will debut between the
end of November and mid-December.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85611.html

Building a Speed Bump for Tech Companies' Maniacal Data Race
Facebook has been in seriously hot water for its data monetization model
almost from the firm's beginning. The Cambridge Analytica, election
meddling and fake news scandals have turned up the heat. Facebook's
problems aren't limited to the public and government backlash that spans
several countries; the firm faces potentially devastating legal threats
too.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85625.html

DevOps: Let's Talk About Security
In spite of all the high-profile breaches that seem to sweep the
headlines with greater frequency, companies slowly but surely have been
getting a handle on internal security practices. At this point, it's
hard to imagine any employee, in or out of the tech sector, who hasn't
been run through antiphishing training. However, security is only as
strong as its weakest link.

Today's Story Highlights

Serious Efforts to Use Tech for Good Shine Through
For much of this year, technology companies have been showcased in a
very poor light. Several firms have been moving aggressively to buck
this trend, however. HP's latest effort, in conjunction with the Clooney
Foundation for Justice, is an impressive initiative to supply and fund
schools in places like war-torn Syria. HP also has provided substantial
support to the Girl Rising movement.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85617.html

Podcasting for Fun and Profit
User engagement with podcasts has been steadily increasing, and many
listeners actually prefer longer-format content, based on results of
Apple's Podcast Analytics reported this week. The service, which Apple
launched late last year, gives podcasters a way to track performance
metrics including number of listeners, total time listened and time per
device.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85618.html

Smart High-Tech Solutions for Aging in Place
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.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85612.html

New Manjaro Beta Builds a Better Arch
Manjaro Linux offers the best of two worlds. It puts a user-friendly
face on an Arch-based distro, and it gives you a choice of sensible and
productive desktop interfaces. The Manjaro Linux team released its
latest updates running the KDE, Xfce and GNOME desktops, Manjaro Linux
18.0 Beta 7, late last month. All three are solid performers and seem to
be ready for final release.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85603.html

Cybersecurity Economics: The Missing Ingredient
There are times when looking at something narrowly can be more effective
than taking a wider and more comprehensive view. If you don't believe
me, consider the experience of looking at organisms in a microscope or
watching a bird through binoculars. Distractions are minimized, allowing
optimal evaluation and analysis of what's under investigation.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85610.html

PC Innovation Is Back
There were two interesting product launches last week. HP delivered what
is pretty much a clean slate rethinking of the 2-in-1 PC with the HP
Folio, and Microsoft unveiled a refresh of its Surface Line. Both firms
made a big deal of the fact that their products were much better than
their Apple counterparts -- but Apple has been treating PCs like a drunk
uncle for some time now.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85605.html

Data Breach Lawsuits: A Growing Risk for E-Commerce
The expanding world of Internet commerce likely will generate a
corresponding expansion of data breaches, resulting in more e-commerce
businesses becoming the targets of consumer class action lawsuits.
Breach litigation has become more prevalent as a result of a perceptible
legal trend favoring consumers. Courts have tended to allow lawsuits
based on a lower threshold for establishing injury.
