Today's Story Highlights

Disney Goes Over the Top: How Does Its Streaming Service Stack Up?
The Walt Disney Corporation officially announced Disney+, its direct-to-

The new over-the-top service will become available on Nov. 12 for a

programs, as well as more than 10 new movies. The service will expand to
include Disney classics and other IP.

Everyone's a Winner in Apple-Qualcomm Settlement
Apple and Qualcomm unexpectedly announced a settlement as their case
entered the second day of a hearing in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California in San Diego. In related news, Intel
announced it was getting out of the 5G smartphone chip business. The
Apple-Qualcomm settlement provides an unspecified one-time payment from
Apple to Qualcomm, among other terms.

Condres OS Conjures Up Pleasing Arch Linux Transition
Condres OS, a distro much like the defunct Apricity OS, could be a
speedier replacement for Linux OSes that have turned slow to no-go in
recent new releases. Condres OS is an Arch-based distro that offers many
pleasing usability traits similar to three popular Debian-based distros:
Linux Mint; Peppermint; and Zorin, which bundles ICE and Wine
accouterments. Condres OS, as is typical of Arch distributions, comes
with a rolling release upgrade model.

Apple to Focus on Productivity With Next macOS, iOS Releases
The ramp-up to Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference this June has
begun, with reports circulating about the goodies the company will
include in the next generation of its desktop and mobile operating
systems. The latest revelations include macOS support for the iPad as an
auxiliary display, native to desktops and laptops, and iOS support for
multiple windows within apps.

EU's New Copyright Directive Could Break the Internet
A copyright directive that some fear could break the Internet has
cleared the final hurdle in the European Union. The directive makes
platforms for user-uploaded content -- like Google and Facebook --
legally liable for violations of the rights of copyright holders. It
requires them to obtain the permission of the holders before posting
content to their sites.

Qualcomm: Rethinking AI in a 5G Quantum World
It is expected that 5G will move aggressively into the market, with
near-complete major metropolitan coverage by the end of the year. This
technology is a game-changer, but it doesn't come without issues, one of
which is the massive change in network loading. 5G will shift the
bottlenecks from the wireless networks to the backhaul, where the
expected massive increase in traffic will force some rather impressive
network upgrades.
