Today's Story Highlights

Is Icahn Attempting a Hostile Takeover of HP?
When it comes to any merger, you often can't trust the reason the firms
are merging, particularly if financial rather than operational managers
are driving the process. When it comes to hostile takeovers, you can bet
you are being misled, because the rhetoric will address synergy, but the
folks driving the effort know the more likely goal is to destroy the
acquired company.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86475.html

Saudi Hack of Bezos' Phone Shines Bright Light on Security Challenges
A digital forensic analysis conducted by FTI Consulting concludes with
"medium to high confidence" that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' smartphone was
hacked through a malicious file sent from the WhatsApp account of Saudi
Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. The malware was in an MP4 file
attached to a WhatsApp message. UN special rapporteurs released
technical elements of the report.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86476.html

Patriot OS Provides Revolutionary Computing Convenience
Peach OSI's Patriot OS is a vibrant example of how a software developer
can create a distribution that stands apart in the crowded Linux OS
field of lookalikes. This evolving Linux OS distro, once known as "Peach
OSI" but now called "Patriot OS," delivers a Linux computing platform
that injects new functionality and offers something different. It is
worth checking out.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86472.html

Grabbing the Cybersecurity and Privacy Problems by the Horns: ECT News Roundtable, Episode 3
Cybersecurity and privacy threats aren't confined to the tech world.
They've cast their pall on the world in general. Computer viruses,
malware and data leaks have become commonplace, personal privacy has
become a bad joke, and cyberwar looms like a virtual mushroom cloud.
What sometimes gets lost in the gloom are the many ways security
professionals have been working to shore up cyberdefenses.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86471.html

Is Congress Finally Ready to Take On Cybersecurity?
The United States Congress made some significant progress this session
when it comes to data privacy, but cybersecurity remains a blind spot
for lawmakers. Congress currently is considering a national privacy law
that mirrors legislation enacted in the European Union. It would allow
people to access, correct and request the deletion of the personal
information collected from them.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86470.html

Cosmos: Possible Worlds - A Lavish, Hopeful Journey
We agree to suspend our disbelief, and they agree to entertain us.
Perhaps it inspires us by communicating some kernel of wisdom about
human nature. Its story may touch our emotions deeply, but we know it's
the product of imagination and artistry. Cosmos: Possible Worlds
delivers everything a great science fiction movie delivers, except the
fiction.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86464.html

Know Your Enemy: The Difficulty of Defining Deepfakes
Facebook recently promised that it would increase efforts to remove so-
called "deepfake" videos, including content that included "misleading
manipulated media." In addition to fears that deepfakes -- altered
videos that appear to be authentic -- could impact the upcoming 2020
general election in the United States, there are growing concerns that
they could ruin reputations and impact businesses.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86466.html

Canonical Introduces Scalable Android-Based Cloud Platform
Canonical is deploying a scalable Android-based operating system for
mobile and desktop enterprise applications from the cloud. The company
just announced its Anbox Cloud containerized workload platform. Anbox
Cloud allows apps to be streamed to any operating system or form factor.
Its uses include cloud gaming, enterprise workplace applications,
software testing and mobile device virtualization.

https://www.ectnews.com/adsys/link/?crid=10299/Helpshift_eBook

Today's Story Highlights

The CEO of the Decade
Who is most deserving of the title "CEO of the Decade"? Historically the
focus in choosing CEO of the decade has been on their financial
accomplishments, but that approach has left us in a world lacking
diversity and empathy in positions of power -- particularly noticeable
in the tech industry -- and one where global climate change may end the
human race.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86460.html

Cybersecurity 2020: A Perilous Landscape
Cybersecurity is a very serious issue for 2020 -- and the risks stretch
far beyond the alarming spike in ransomware. In addition to the daily
concerns of malware, stolen data and the cost of recovering from a
business network intrusion, there is the very real danger of nefarious
actors using cyberattacks to influence or directly impact the outcome of
the 2020 U.S. general election.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86461.html

TROMjaro Updates Deliver Lighter, Better Manjaro
The current version of TROMjaro is as close as it gets to being a
Manjaro clone. However, a much different philosophy gives users
something more than the Manjaro distro itself offers. The latest ISO
release, version 11.11.2019, is based on Manjaro 18.1.2 "Juhraya." As
such, TROMjaro is part of the Arch Linux family. TROMJaro offers a new
twist on open source freedom in Linux.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86459.html

Business/Customer Sweet Spots: ECT News Roundtable, Episode 2
If you're a small business owner or a key member of an enterprise
executive team, you want your firm to succeed. If you're a customer, you
want to be treated well. Those goals are not diametrically opposed, but
very often it seems that companies and customers are at cross-purposes.
ECT News Network recently gathered together five technology experts who
did some hard thinking on the subject.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86457.html

Apple, DoJ Grapple Over Cracking Terrorist's iPhones
Apple and the U.S. Justice Department are at it again. This time it's
over cracking a brace of iPhones owned by the Saudi Air Force cadet who
killed three sailors in a shooting spree last month at the naval air
station in Pensacola, Florida. At a news conference on the findings of
an investigation into the incident, U.S. Attorney General William Barr
called out Apple for refusing to help the FBI.

Clock Runs Out for Windows 7 Holdouts: Upgrade or Replace?
After 10 years of fully supporting Windows 7, Microsoft ended its
official support for the out-of-date Windows operating system on
Tuesday. The popular classic Windows 7 OS still runs on some 200 million
PCs around the globe, according to industry estimates. Users include
small business owners, some larger companies, and hordes of consumers
holding onto aging personal computers.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86452.html

The Most Important Autonomous Car Announcement at CES
Getting around Las Vegas during CES is a nightmare. One evening I wanted
to go to the In-N-Out Burger place, and even though it was only a mile
or two from my hotel, the traffic was so bad that I doubted I'd make
there and back before midnight -- and it was only 6 p.m. I used to try
to walk CES, but the miles of fast walking on concrete ripped the soles
off both my feet one year.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86446.html

Cybersecurity 2020: The Danger of Ransomware
Ransomware tops the list of cybersecurity threats for 2020. While there
have been efforts to convince individuals, corporations and
municipalities not to pay ransoms, the simple fact is that whenever one
is paid, the attack becomes a success that encourages cyberthieves to
try again. Ransomware attacks increased 18 percent in 2019, up from an
average 12 percent increase over the past five years.

Arduino Aims to Secure IoT With New Dev Platform, Hardware
Arduino announced a new low-code Internet of Things application

a variety of hardware applications. Arduino has achieved prominence as a
go-to developer of an innovation platform for connecting IoT products.
