Today's Story Highlights

Celebgate Hacker Strikes Plea Deal

Prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of
California on Tuesday announced they had reached a plea agreement with
Ryan Collins, a Pennsylvania resident, over charges that he hacked Apple
and Google email accounts of more than 100 people back in 2014. The
allegations stemmed from the official investigation into the hacking
case dubbed "Celebgate."

Xbox Signals It's Ready to Rumble

Microsoft this week announced that it would support cross-network play
between its latest gaming console and other platforms. Cross-network
support would allow Xbox One players to engage in multiplayer gaming
with friends and randoms on platforms such as Steam and the PlayStation
Network. It will be up to developers to support cross-platform games,
however.

Digital Assistants Fail Abysmally in Crisis Situations

Personal digital assistants are of little benefit for people
experiencing a serious personal crisis, such as sexual assault or
thoughts of suicide, according to a study published Monday. The research
looked at four major personal assistants. For the most part, they were
unable to recommend solutions when users expressed severe mental
anguish, or reported domestic violence, sexual assault or forms of
imminent danger.

Gadgets: All-In-One Cooking, In-Car Movie Nights, and Rolling Robots

Tovala is going to change everything, apparently. It's a countertop
cooking system that acts as oven, microwave, toaster, broiler and
steamer. It appears to have all the convenience of ready-made meals,
while providing healthier eating options than a typical TV dinner. While
you can create your own dishes, Tovala offers its own meals created by
professional chefs that are delivered fresh to your home.
