Today's Story Highlights

A Secret Strategy That Could Be Apple's Fatal Self-Inflicted Blow
Both Intel and a bunch of professors connected to Apple and the FTC came
out in support of the Judge Koh verdict against Qualcomm, even though it
had been shown that the foundational evidence was manufactured contrary
to the wishes of the DoJ, DoD and other major government agencies. That
was well after Qualcomm was identified as a critical part of the U.S.
defense against Huawei's 5G dominance.

Your Smart TV Could Give Hackers a Window on Your World
Cybercriminals have discovered ways to compromise smart TVs, the FBI
recently warned. Smart TV owners should do their due diligence to secure
the devices, the bureau urged. Smart TVs are just as accessible to
unauthorized parties as computers or other Internet-connected devices.
Because many TVs now feature microphones and cameras, predators could
commit serious privacy intrusions.

Amazon Ratchets Up Competition in 5G, Hybrid IT
Among the highlights of Amazon Web Services re:Invent are three
announcements that strengthen its presence in the enterprise hybrid IT
infrastructure market: AWS is teaming with Verizon to deliver 5G edge
cloud computing; the first AWS Local Zone is located in Los Angeles; and
AWS Outposts are generally available. These moves "close some huge
competitive gaps," observed tech analyst Rob Enderle.

Linux For All Shines on LXDE Desktop
Linux For All very well could be a unifying Linux distribution that
provides a common computing platform. LFA comes in just one flavor, the
LXDE environment. However, LXDE is an inviting option that eliminates
confusion and complexity in favor of a powerful desktop that is
lightweight enough to run on low-powered aging hardware. A major
advantage is better hardware support for Nvidia graphics.

Twitter Sets Up Privacy Center but Moves to Skirt GDPR
Twitter's new Privacy Center will give users more clarity on what it
does to protect the information people share. The center will host
everything relevant to Twitter's privacy and data protection work,
including initiatives, announcements, new privacy products and
communication about security incidents, noted Twitter Data Protection
Officer Damien Kieran and Product Lead Kayvon Beykpour.
