http://www.ectnews.com/adsys/link/?crid=10135/ecommerce_ideas

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's New Skype Could Be Risky Gamble
Microsoft has announced a new version of its Skype messaging app, along
with a warning that previous versions of the software will be disabled
after Sept. 1. "As we roll out improvements, there comes a time when we
must shut down older services and application versions," wrote the Skype
Team in an online post. "This is done to ensure that all customers have
the best possible Skype experience."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85451.html

New Roku Speakers Offer Sophisticated Audio for Smart TVs
Roku has earned a reputation for making streaming TV products that are
easy to set up and use, and that deliver above-average quality at
affordable prices -- and that's the approach it has taken with its new
Roku TV Wireless Speakers. The company unveiled the speakers on Monday,
and expects to start shipping them in October, when they will sell for
$199.99.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85449.html

Pinguy OS Puts On a Happier GNOME 3 Face
Pinguy OS 18.04 is an Ubuntu-based distribution that offers a non-
standard GNOME desktop environment intended to be friendlier for new
Linux users. This distro is a solid Linux OS with a focus on simple and
straightforward usability for the non-geek desktop user. If you do not
like tinkering with settings or having numerous power-grabbing fancy
screen animations, Pinguy OS could be a good choice.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85439.html

Could a Tech Collaboration Tool Fix Dysfunctional Governments?
Microsoft Inspire is taking place this week, and a huge number of my
personal friends and I were prebriefed on what the big announcements
would be. Strangely, the embargo on the news lifted last week, so I'm
not going to get in trouble for sharing some of the revelations. There
are a number of interesting elements, including Microsoft's suddenly
aggressive move to use Azure as an IoT host.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85445.html

New MacBook Pros Get Major Power Boost
Apple has announced updated MacBook Pro 13- and 15-inch notebooks with a
Touch Bar, 8th-generation Intel Core processors, support for up to 32 GB
of DDR memory in the larger notebook, a True Tone display, and an
improved third-generation keyboard for quiet typing. The 15-inch model
comes with 6-core Intel Core i7 and i9 processors rated at up to 2.9 GHz
-- with Turbo Boost, up to 4.8 GHz.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85443.html

How Smart Should a Home Be?
One of the loudest buzzes in the Internet of Things is around smart
homes. Vendors have rushed to connect everything imaginable within a
house, including lights, appliances, entertainment systems, windows,
shades, door locks, ceiling fans, faucets, smoke detectors, security
systems, furniture -- basically anything with a battery or power cord
now can be connected.

systems, furniture -- basically anything with a battery or power cord

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85440.html

New iOS Security Feature Ripe for Defeat
A new feature in iOS 11.4.1, which Apple released earlier this week, is
designed to protect against unwanted intrusions through the iPhone's
Lightning Port. However, the protection may be weak at best. The
feature, called "USB Restricted Mode," disables data transfer through
the Lightning Port after an hour of inactivity. In some cases, the phone
might not charge, according to Apple.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85438.html

Polar Flow Fitness App Exposes Soldiers, Spies
A popular fitness app provided a convenient map for anyone interested in
shadowing government personnel who exercised in secret locations,
including intelligence agencies, military bases and airfields, nuclear
weapons storage sites, and embassies around the world. The fitness app,
Polar Flow, publicized more data about its users in a more accessible
way than comparable apps, investigators found.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85436.html

Ribbons and Tabs Give OnlyOffice Suite a Fresh Look
Ascensio System SIA recently released its free office suite upgrade --
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors -- with a ribbon and tab interface plus
numerous updated features. The refresh makes version 5.1 a potential
alternative to Web versions of the Microsoft Office suite and Google
Docs for Linux users. The three-module set of OnlyOffice Desktop Editors
has an impressive collection of tools.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85435.html

Next Up, Game Consoles: Is There Anything Google Can't Do Badly?
It's interesting to compare Google and Amazon -- two of the most
incredibly powerful companies in the world. Amazon brings out product
after product, with more successes than failures. Google largely buys
companies and then loses interest in what they do. Profit is built into
Amazon's retail efforts, while Google largely lives off selling users'
information and providing access to content.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85430.html

Intel's 'CEO Problem' Is Its Board
Tech companies have been going through a lot of CEOs of late. HP had a
revolving door for CEOs with mistake after mistake. Yahoo's board kept
making choices that made things worse, Uber's CEO almost took the
company under, and CEOs fired for ethical lapses jumped a whopping 36
percent. When an employee misbehaves and has to be fired, it generally
is at least partially the fault of management.

Today's Story Highlights

EU Watchdog Accuses Facebook, Google of Privacy Shenanigans
Facebook and Google have manipulated users into sharing data using so-
called "dark patterns," according to a report from the Norwegian
Consumer Council. The practices nudged users toward accepting privacy
options that favored the tech companies rather than themselves, the NCC
found. Facebook and Google have no intention of providing users with an
actual choice, the NCC has claimed.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85424.html

Peppermint 9 Offers Some Cool New Options
Peppermint 9 accomplishes something most other Linux distros don't: It
melds the best components from other desktop environments and integrates
them into a solid operating system. The latest release nearly completes
a process begun several upgrades ago, using more Xfce elements and fewer
LXDE components. Peppermint is a good alternative to the Linux Mint Xfce
release.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85421.html

WPA3 Arrives to Shore Up WiFi Security
Network devices with better security will be hitting the market this
year, thanks to Wi-Fi Certified WPA3, which the Wi-Fi Alliance launched
Tuesday. The announcement paves the way for the proliferation of devices
that support the new, more secure protocol for WiFi communication, which
is designed to replace the 14-year-old WPA2. The new protocol adds
features to simplify WiFi security.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85419.html

Suse Linux Enterprise 15 Bridges Traditional, Software-Defined Systems
Suse has launched Suse Linux Enterprise 15, its latest flagship
operating platform. SLE 15 bridges traditional infrastructure
technologies with next-generation software-defined infrastructure, the
company said. Suse Manager helps users meet management challenges
created by technology advancements such as software-defined
infrastructure, cloud computing and containers.
