Today's Story Highlights

NYC Schools to Teach Kids to Code
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced his computer learning
initiative, requiring that every student in the city's public schools be
exposed to computer literacy training at every grade level within 10
years. The program will cost some $81 million over the next decade. The
mayor expects to receive at least half of that from private sources,
including the initiative's founding partners.

Trust and Value Will Bring IoT Home
The connected car and smart home markets are at an early stage of
development, but in many ways they have been growing in parallel. Both
markets are enabled by the falling costs of sensors, networking
technologies and data, as well as by expanded cloud services, the mass
penetration of smartphones, and consumer demand for the connected
lifestyle. These ecosystems now are beginning to converge.

Microsoft Shoots Itself in the Foot
Shame on you Microsoft! Last week you admitted to downloading gigabits
of Windows 10 data to users' hard drives without permission. The problem
is, that move both took up our hard drive space and triggered Internet
Service Provider fees. You did it without even asking our permission.
Hey, Microsoft, who the hell do you think you are? The simple solution
is this: Ask permission.
