Today's Story Highlights

Weaponized Drones May Fly the Friendly Skies of North Dakota
Police in North Dakota can use drones armed with what are optimistically
called "nonlethal weapons," thanks to the passage of House Bill 1328,
which Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed into law this spring. The new law gives
police the authority in a roundabout way: Section 5 states a law
enforcement agency may not authorize the use of an unmanned aerial
vehicle armed with lethal weapons.

YouTube Opens Video Game Floodgates
It's alive! YouTube Gaming, a hub that's home to over 25,000 video game
pages, on Wednesday began broadcasting live and on-demand streams, let's
play videos and the like. The gaming hub is accessible on desktop PCs,
and on Android and iOS devices. YouTube's new hub is likely to offer a
serious challenge to Twitch, the video game streaming service Amazon
bought last year.

Shadow IT Feeds 'Man in the Cloud' Attacks
Shadow IT -- the use of unauthorized online services by company
employees -- is a concern of cyberwarriors charged with defending
business systems against network attacks. There's new evidence that
those concerns are justified. A new attack vector on business systems
leverages the synchronization features of services like Dropbox and
Google Drive to perform malicious mischief.

No Joke, MultiFab Prints 10 Materials at Once
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or CSAIL, this week
presented a new MultiFab printer at SIGGRAPH, an annual computer
graphics conference. For all of the promise 3D printing has offered,
additive manufacturing techniques generally have been limited to one
material at a time -- until now.

At 24, Linux Has Come Out of the Basement
Happy Birthday, Linux Project -- this week you turned 24. The Linux OS
has grown up everywhere. Its code and the open source model are found
worldwide. People often use linux without knowing it -- when they search
on Google, buy metro tickets or surf the Web. Linux travels worldwide on
airplanes, and it's embedded in many of the smart devices that bring
ultra convenience to our homes and cars.

Cortana Cozies Up to Android Users
Microsoft has released a public beta of its Cortana personal assistant
for Android. The Cortana app can do most of the things Cortana does on
Windows: set and get reminders; search the Web on the go; track
information such as flight details; and begin and complete tasks across
all a user's devices. Cortana will find answers on the Web in response
to spoken or typed requests.
