Today's Story Highlights
Plume Podifies Home WiFi
Plume last week introduced its eponymous self-optimizing WiFi system for
the home. Plume adapts in real life to the different network demands
made by various devices and ensures that each gets the fastest speeds
possible, according to the company. The recommended setup is one pod per
room and connecting space, such as a hallway, plus any cable or DSL
modem or any modem/router combination.

AI for President
Andy Rubin, Android's daddy, last week made some interesting comments
about quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The part I agree
with is it won't be long until most things we have are connected to an
intelligent machine. However, when referring to something that will be
far smarter than we are, the use of the term "artificial" would not just
be inaccurate -- it would be rude.

Linux Snap Package Format Goes Multi-Distro
Snapcraft -- the Linux package format Canonical developed for Ubuntu --
now works on multiple Linux distros, including Arch, Debian, Fedora and
various flavors of Ubuntu. They're being validated on CentOS,
Elementary, Gentoo, Mint, OpenSUSE, OpenWrt and RHEL. "Distributing
applications on Linux is not always easy," said Canonical's Manik
Taneja, product manager for Snappy Ubuntu Core.

Google: Dare to Daydream
Google's Cardboard has proved to the masses that virtual reality is more
than a pipe dream. Inexpensive cardboard headsets leverage smartphones
to create makeshift head-mounted displays for low-level VR experiences.
For those whose fancies of owning a US$600 Rift or a $900 Vive were out
of reach, Cardboard was a way to keep their imaginations captive while
Google was dreaming of Daydream.
