Today's Story Highlights

Adobe Max Event Highlights New iPad, iPhone Tools
New products for the iPad and iPhone headlined the opening keynote
presentation at Adobe Max, the company's annual developers conference
held in Los Angeles. Photoshop for the iPad uses Adobe's artificial
intelligence engine, Sensei, to enable new selection functionality. For
example, "Select Subject," a feature of Photoshop for the desktop, will
be available on the tablet version.

The Truth vs. Censorship Trap
There recently has been a lot of rumbling about Twitter deciding not to
take political ads, and Facebook deciding -- and this was stupid -- that
it would run political ads even if they were untrue. I'm becoming
convinced that Zuckerberg is trying to put Facebook out of business.
There are some real differences between the firms. Facebook does far
more political advertising than Twitter.

Evidence of War Crimes Vanishing From Social Media
A controversy has erupted over YouTube's practice of taking down videos
with graphically violent content, which also may be evidence of recent
war crimes. YouTube's policy -- similar to other social media platforms
-- has been to remove content that contains hate speech, disinformation
or disturbing images. In the past, social media services have been
called out for failing to do enough.

Latest ExTix: Lots of Flexibility and a Few Flaws
ExTiX 19.10, released with the LXQt desktop on Oct. 23, is a customized
Linux distro that leaves you wanting more but settling for less. ExTix
is a lightweight modular Linux operating system that is part of the
Exton Linux/Live Systems family of distributions hosted by The Swedish
Linux Society. The ExTix distro line is perhaps the best known of
Exton's Linux platforms.

Are You Suffering From Technophobia?
The fear of technology has been around for as long as technology itself,
and like technology itself, it is always changing. There is evidence of
"technophobia" -- the technical name for this affliction -- in every age
and in every part of the world. However, it is perhaps reaching a peak
in modern society. Americans are more afraid of technology than death,
suggests research conducted in 2019.
