Today's Story Highlights

5 Things the Apple App Store Could Do Better
I haven't been thrilled with app discovery on the App Store for years,
and while Apple has been tweaking things to make it better, it's pretty
easy to enter the iOS App Store, look around, and come to the conclusion
that only an infinitesimal fraction of 1.5 million apps must be worthy
of showing off -- and unfortunately, Disney's "Palace Pets in Whisker
Haven" is one of them.

Faster, Cheaper Fiber Could Rev Up Internet
Researchers have found a way to significantly improve the performance of
fiber networks, which could lead to benefits for both consumers and
Internet service providers. Information in fiber optic cables degrades
with the distance it travels. When you try to increase the speed at
which the data is traveling by boosting the power in the network,
degradation gets worse.

ISS Cargo Lost in SpaceX Falcon Flameout
The SpaceX CRS-7 rocket failed minutes after Sunday's launch, blowing up
in mid-air. Just after T+2 minutes, when the craft's altitude was 32 km,
its speed was 1 km/second, and its downrange distance was 30 km, its
flight path apparently began curving downward. Three explosions then
occurred. "There was an overpressure event in the upper stage liquid
oxygen tank," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted.

Uncle Sam Wants a Hoverbike
The United States Army Research, Development and Engineering Command has
commissioned two companies to develop hoverbike technology. The Army
intends to operate the hoverbike as a new class of tactical
reconnaissance vehicle. "This isn't for jungles or mountains, but could
be ideal for patrols over deserts, swamps, or other open areas with
mixed terrain," suggested tech analyst Rob Enderle.

The Automobile as We Know It Is Dead
There's a massive number of efforts going on to kill the car as we know
it. Among them are efforts to make it a tiny self-driving box that we'd
likely be embarrassed to be seen in, efforts to make it highly
customized and amazing, and efforts to change its fuel from gasoline to
CNG, electricity or something else. There is no doubt that the car as we
know it soon will be dead.
