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.

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.

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.
