Today's Story Highlights

CES 2019: A Tech Solution for a Standoff
To say I'm typically not a fan of CES would be an understatement, but
this year was very different. A combination of better logistics and
fewer people at the show, coupled with some truly earth-shattering
content, made CES a must-attend event this year. One of the things that
jumped out at me is that IBM announced a compelling fix for the border
wall controversy.

6 Ways to Safeguard 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.

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.
