Today's Story Highlights

Google Assistant Gets More Features, Greater Reach
Google this week debuted a slew of new capabilities for Google Assistant
at CES in Las Vegas. The new Connect platform lets device manufacturers
incorporate Assistant into their products easily and cost-effectively.
Connect uses Google's existing smart home platform to expand to new
device types, while making device setup and discovery easy for
consumers.

IBM Chief Sounds Cautionary Note on Deep Data, AI, Quantum Computing
Powerful technologies like deep data, AI and quantum computing should be
introduced into society carefully, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty declared in
opening remarks at CES. "These tools are so powerful they will solve
some of the most enduring problems -- like food safety, waste," she
said, "but like all powerful tools, we've got to usher them in safely
into society."

Where Linux Went in 2018 - and Where It's Going
For those who try to keep their finger on the Linux community's pulse,
2018 was a surprisingly eventful year. Spread over the last 12 months,
we've seen various projects in the Linux ecosystem make great strides,
as well as suffer their share of stumbles. All told, the year wrapped up
leaving plenty to be optimistic about in the year to come, but there is
much more on which we can only speculate.

Apple, Samsung Buddy Up in Smart TV Deal
Apple movies and music are coming to Samsung Smart TVs this spring.
Samsung's 2019 Smart TVs will support iTunes Movies and TV Shows, and
Apple AirPlay 2, Samsung said Sunday at CES in Las Vegas. Smart TVs made
in 2018 also will be able to play Apple content via a firmware update.
Apple content can be accessed from the smart TVs via an exclusive app.

2019: The Year Everything Changes
We are approaching critical mass on a number of technologies that we
will see increasingly this year. This wave will start at CES, where we
will see an impressive number of attempts at personal robots and AI-
powered digital assistants. Most will fail, but both the failures and
the few successes will set the stage for the first true mobile personal
robots that will arrive in the following years.
