Today's Story Highlights

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.

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.

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
development platform at CES 2020 in Las Vegas. It also introduced the
low-power Arduino Portenta H7 module, a new family of Portenta chips for
a variety of hardware applications. Arduino has achieved prominence as a
go-to developer of an innovation platform for connecting IoT products.
