Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Wins Legal Victory in Fight Over Email Stored Abroad

Microsoft has won its nearly four-year battle against a warrant
requiring it to turn over customer emails held on a server in Ireland.
Microsoft had complied with demands to turn over account information
stored on its servers in the U.S., but it had refused to give up the
emails themselves, contending a U.S. judge did not have the authority to
issue warrants for information stored abroad.

Consumer Reports Urges Tesla to Pull Plug on Autopilot

Consumer Reports has urged Tesla to disable the automatic steering
function and change the name of its Autopilot driving assist feature.
Questions recently have arisen over whether Tesla's Model S vehicles can
operate safely without regular human intervention. Consumer Reports'
change request sprang from concerns over a number of recent test
crashes, including a fatal accident in Florida.

Verizon Customers Get No Respect

Why do customers seem to overreact when Verizon announces changes?
Verizon's latest price hike has been causing angst in the marketplace --
at least on social sites like Twitter. Why does Verizon keep shooting
itself in the foot? The short answer is poor marketing. Verizon's
marketing moves show no care for the customer base, and that comes with
at cost to Verizon.

Today's Story Highlights

Changes in Federal IT Spending Require Nimble Contracting

Federal agencies will continue to spend heavily on IT over the next five
years, but the pace and direction of spending will be complicated by
shifting priorities, congressional constraints and a presidential
election. The bottom line is that the overall rate of IT spending will
be above $98 billion each year for next six federal fiscal years,
according to a forecast Deltek released last month.

Music Industry Boos Google's Antipiracy Performance

Google on Wednesday released an update of its online antipiracy efforts.
YouTube has generated more than $2 billion to content copyright holders
by monetizing user-uploaded content through its Content ID rights
management system, Google said, adding that more than 90 percent of all
Content ID claims result in monetization. YouTube also paid out more
than $3 billion to the music industry.

Microsoft Unveils Enterprise Windows 10, Surface Pay-as-You-Go Plans

Microsoft on Tuesday introduced two pay-as-you-go plans for the
enterprise. Windows 10 Enterprise E3 in CSP is "basically the OS wrapped
with security and management delivered as a subscription," said Rob
Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The Surface as a
Service Program lets Microsoft CSPs who are also Surface Authorized
Distributors use a managed service offering.

Today's Story Highlights

Pokemon Go Devs Scramble to Fix Big Privacy Goof

Just days after Pokemon Go sent Nintendo shares soaring in Tokyo, the
game's developers were scrambling to close a massive privacy hole. The
iOS version of the mobile game -- which superimposes figures onto real-
world environments through augmented reality technology -- apparently
had a default setting that required users to grant broad permissions to
access their Google accounts.

Polaroid Swing Gives New Meaning to Moving Pictures

Polaroid Swing, a new iOS app for creating animated photos, on Tuesday
debuted at the App Store. The app has ties both to instant photography
pioneer Polaroid and Twitter founder Biz Stone. Polaroid Swing lets a
"phonetog" capture 1-second videos posing as images that become animated
when a phone is tilted, or when they're swiped or tapped. The app
presents three options.

Facebook Lets Messenger Conversations Go Dark

Facebook last week said it would begin testing long anticipated end-to-
end encryption capabilities in its Messenger app, enabling users to have
secret conversations. The new level of security means that a message
will be visible only to the sender and the recipient -- Facebook won't
even be able to read it. Users can set a timer to limit the amount of
time that a message remains visible.

SiFive Launches Freedom FOSS SoC Platforms

SiFive on Monday announced its flagship Freedom family of system on a
chip platforms. The platforms are based on the free and open source
RISC-V instruction set architecture that several of the company's
founders created at the University of California at Berkeley. SiFive's
Freedom U500 and E300 platforms take a new approach to SoCs, redefining
traditional silicon business models.

Google Dabbles in Post-Quantum Cryptography

Google has launched an experiment with post-quantum cryptography in
Chrome. A small fraction of connections between Google's servers and
Chrome on the desktop will use a post-quantum key-exchange algorithm in
addition to the elliptic-curve key-exchange algorithm already being
used. The idea is that large quantum computers eventually might be able
to break current security algorithms retroactively.
