Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's Holographic Platform Opening Mixes It Up

Microsoft last week announced it would open its Windows Holographic
platform to partner firms looking to develop products for the Hololens
ecosystem. Microsoft already is already working with a range of partners
-- including Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and others -- to build a hardware
ecosystem that can support mixed-reality environments, company officials
said at Computex.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83579.html

Windows Holographic: Changing Our Perception of the World

There were a lot of interesting announcements last week, ranging from
cool new devices to what was basically an Amazon Echo on wheels from
Asus. Such is the nature of Computex -- arguably one of the most
powerful technology shows in the world. However, one of the most
fascinating was Windows Holographic, which goes far beyond Hololens to
redefine the world as we perceive it.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83574.html

Banking Trojans Take Backseat to Ransomware

The banking trojan -- a type of malware used to steal credentials for
bank accounts -- has been a staple of cyberthieves for years. However,
ransomware, which has proven both easy to use and highly successful, has
started eroding its popularity. In a typical banking trojan attack, a
robber mounts a phishing campaign to entice a target to open an
attachment or click on a link.

Google's Magenta AI Tickles the Ivories

The Google Brain team on Wednesday released a tune created by machine
intelligence. The composition is part of Project Magenta, which seeks to
boost the capabilities of machine intelligence to create art and music.
Among other things, the Magenta team is developing algorithms that
enable artificial intelligence systems to learn how to create compelling
art and music on their own.

OpenSwitch Moves Under Linux Foundation Umbrella

The Linux Foundation on Wednesday announced that it has taken the
OpenSwitch Project under its wing. OpenSwitch last year began as a joint
project of Hewlett Packard Enterprises, Broadcom, VMware, Accton, Intel
and Arista. OpenSwitch is an open source, Linux-based network operating
system, or NOS, that works with enterprise-grade switches from multiple
vendors.

HP Offers Versatile PC Gaming Machines for Grown-Ups

HP last week introduced several new additions to its Omen by HP gaming
hardware line: 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch laptops, a desktop PC and a 32-
inch Quad HD4 display. The laptops will be available next month with a
starting price of $900; the desktop and display will be available in
August at HP online and at select retailers, with pricing as yet
undisclosed.

OpenSwitch Moves Under Linux Foundation Umbrella

Persistence. It's what permeates the fabric of upcoming sci-fi odyssey
No Man's Sky , and it's what will see the game well past its launch this
summer. While eager to set out into a digital space that's populated
with 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 unique planets, most gamers have
expressed patience as developers march toward the release.

Voyager Offers a Mostly Smooth-Sailing Linux Adventure

Voyager Live 16.04 is a Linux distro that could be an ideal choice for
everyday computing tasks -- but first it has to step away from its
branding with Xubuntu. The once-per-year release of Voyager Live, which
hit servers last month, is an Xubuntu-based distribution showcasing the
Xfce 4.12.2 desktop environment. It will receive three years of security
updates.

Today's Story Highlights

Myspace Crowned King of Mega Breaches, With More Likely to Come

Myspace and Tumblr this week emerged as the latest in a string of mega
breaches that resulted in the theft of millions of user IDs -- not just
recently but years ago. "Over the period of this month, we've seen an
interesting trend of data breaches," wrote security researcher Troy
Hunt, operator of the Have I Been Pwned website. "To see a cluster of
them appear together is quite intriguing."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83562.html

Silicon Valley Debates Thiel's Money Man Role in Gawker Suit

The digital media world was abuzz last week when news surfaced that
billionaire Peter Thiel had provided financial backing for a defamation
lawsuit against Gawker Media. The suit stemmed from Gawker's publication
of a sex tape involving ex-WWE superstar Terry Bollea, better known as
"Hulk Hogan." A Florida jury awarded Bollea $140 million in March.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83560.html

The Rise of Drone Racing, Part 2

With lucrative broadcast deals and cup competitions now crowding
calendars, drone racing has become one of the primary factors driving
the surge in demand for consumer drones. Mountain Dew and DR1 Racing
earlier this month announced a special DR1 Invitational presented by
Mountain Dew. The one-hour broadcast will air on Discovery
Communication's Discovery and Science channels in August.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83516.html

What Will HPE Sell Next?

I joined a bunch of analysts in discussing Hewlett Packard Enterprise's
next move at a secret conclave last week. The company had just announced
the sale of its IT services, which basically undid much of Mark Hurd's
work as CEO. It already had sold off PCs and printers, more than undoing
Carly Fiorina's earlier efforts. Granted, HPE spun it like it was an
acquisition.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83552.html

Gadget Ogling: A Homier Google, Flicking Lamps, and Busy Earbuds

Taking a page or 10 out of Amazon Echo's book, Home is a blend of a
smart speaker and a personal assistant, which you control using your
voice. It can handle the types of queries Google Now and its successor,
Google Assistant, can take on -- from simple questions like what's on
your schedule for the day to more complex ones about the history of your
favorite sports team.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83555.html

Tiny HopperGo Neatly Stashes Loads of Mobile Entertainment

Dish Network continues to change the way we view recorded TV. It made
location-shifting as easy as time-shifting via its Sling technology, and
its Hopper let users transfer recordings to a mobile device. Now it has
introduced another option for taking recorded content anywhere: the
HopperGO, a compact DVR hard disk drive that lets users transfer content
from a set-top box to the portable unit.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/83546.html

Twitter Loosens Tweet's Leash

Twitter on Tuesday announced a number of changes to tweets, including
what will be included in a message's 140-character count. The changes
will be rolled out in the coming months. When replying to a tweet,
tagged @names at the beginning of the reply no longer will be included
in the character count. Photos, GIFs, videos, polls and quote tweets
won't be counted against the character limit.
