Today's Story Highlights

Wii U to Become Pokken Tournament Playing Field
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company last week announced that Pokken
Tournament -- the Pokemon fighting game developed by Namco Bandai --
will expand from arcades in Japan to a worldwide launch on the Wii U in
the spring of 2016. Instead of just issuing commands to use special
attacks, players of the fighting game can direct the blows their Pokemon
deliver.

20 Years Later, Windows 95 Launch Brings Tears of Nostalgia - and Hilarity
Twenty years ago Monday, Bill Gates officially released Windows 95,
ushering in a new era. The OS featured a graphical user interface, along
with a task bar and multitasking support, and it introduced the now-
iconic Start button to launch applications. Those Windows 95 features
made using a PC a whole lot easier. The launch also was notable for
turning a software release into a major media event.

Linux Foundation Wants to Pin a Badge on Secure Open Source Software
The Core Infrastructure Initiative last week announced a program that
will offer badges to open software developers who follow best practice
software development and security procedures. The CII project enables
technology companies, industry stakeholders and software developers to
collaborate on the identification and funding of critical open source
projects in need of assistance.

Intel: Putting Innovation Back in the Hands of the Innovators
We are living in an amazing time, but many of us seem to take it for
granted. We have private spaceships. Self-driving cars are on the road,
even though we can't buy them yet, and there are plans for a 12-mile-
high inflatable building. Granted, a number of us are convinced it will
end up looking like a giant version of the inflatable fan blown stick
man often seen outside of car dealerships.
