Today's Story Highlights

Report: YouTube Too Fixated on Engagement to Curb Toxic Content
YouTube executives have been unable or unwilling to rein in toxic
content because it could reduce engagement on their platform, according
to a report that maintained the company has spent years chasing one
goal: engagement. The problem YouTube now faces is how to create an
effective mechanism to handle problematic content, observed Cayce Myers,
an assistant professor at Virginia Tech.

Apple's Path to Destruction
One of the things I mention very infrequently is that I was groomed to
be a CEO from a very early age. My educational background and two
programs at IBM gave me a unique view of what kills a company. One of
the big company killers -- and Chrysler before Lee Iacocca is a leading
example -- is excess product breadth. That is what we just saw from
Apple last week.

investigation into the privacy policies, procedures and practices of

New Zorin OS 15 Beta Is Worth the Wait
The Zorin OS 15 series, released last week in beta, introduces many
changes to its desktop interface and utilities. It keeps Zorin on track
with its goal of maintaining a Linux OS for everyone, not just advanced
Linux users. Zorin OS 15 beta is the first major release since Zorin OS
12 in late 2016. This edition is well worth the wait. Major releases of
Zorin OS come only once every two years.
