Today's Story Highlights
Is Nvidia Tesla's Kryptonite?
Tesla sure didn't have a good week last week, given the kind of press coverage it got. I'm not that worried about Tesla going away, though, as
its products are far too popular for it to disappear. On the other hand,
management clearly needs to be fixed. What got me started looking at
Tesla last week was that it pretty much announced that Nvidia was its
Kryptonite.

Consumers Balk at Premium Smartphone Prices
Only a fraction of consumers are willing to pay $1,500 or more for a flagship Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy smartphone, suggests an informal
ECT News Network survey conducted from April 15 to 22. Fewer than 2
percent of those who took part said they'd be willing to paying such a
premium for a handset. New smartphones arrive with almost disturbing
regularity.

Feren OS: An Almost Flawless Linux Computing Platform
Feren OS might well be the Linux computing game-changer that lures you away from your current operating system. Feren OS is based on Linux Mint
19 and the Cinnamon desktop -- it currently does not give you any other
desktop options. However, it comes with a wide assortment of
configuration choices that let you tweak the look and feel into almost
any customized appearance you could want.

FAA Greenlights Wing Aviation Drone Deliveries
The Federal Aviation Administration has given its first air drone delivery certification in the United States to Alphabet's Wing Aviation,
paving the way for the service to begin commercial package delivery in
Blacksburg, Virginia. "This is an important step forward for the safe
testing and integration of drones into our economy," said U.S.
Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

EU Gives Nod to 'Big Brother' Biometrics Database
The European Parliament overwhelmingly approved two measures that would integrate the region's fragmented law enforcement and home affairs
databases into a centralized one that would include biometric
information on some 350 million EU and non-EU citizens. It approved
creation of the new system on two votes -- one to merge border control
systems, and one to merge law enforcement systems.
