Gadget Ogling: Comfy Earbuds, Barking Bots, and USB Killers
If you're a human being who listens to music using earbuds, chances are
you've run into some issues along the way in keeping the infernal things
nestled into your ear canal. Manufacturers have tried to find solutions,
such as offering different-sized rubber molds, but we're still hewing to
a few-sizes-fit-all model. Enter Revols, a company that might have the
answer.

Apple Faces Twitter Storm Over Mac App Security Glitch
Apple faced the wrath of legions of Mac users after it reportedly
allowed a security certificate to expire on Wednesday, leaving customers
unable to use some apps. The expiration appeared to impact a number of
apps, including Acorn, Byword, Daisy Disk, Tweetbot and 1Password. It's
likely that the incident occurred due to problems with the security
certificate management system.

Ford to Test Autonomous Vehicles at Mcity
Ford on Friday announced that it will be the first automaker to test its
autonomous vehicles at Mcity, a full-scale simulated urban environment
that was developed as part of the University of Michigan's Mobility
Transformation Center. The site will allow Ford to test its autonomous
vehicle fleet close to its headquarters, taking advantage of the diverse
roads and neighborhoods Mcity offers.

Valve's Steam Gaming Hardware Hits Home
Valve this week rolled out the hardware phase of its road map from
bedrooms and basements to living rooms and lounge areas with its long-
awaited video game controller, PC link box and Steam boxes. Valve's road
map to the living room began with Big Picture mode in 2011, continued
with in-home streaming in 2014, and now includes the new Steam hardware.

iPad Pro: The Thrill Is Gone
Apple this week began selling its iPad Pro, but the newly introduced
device is failing to evoke the enthusiasm the company's line of tablets
traditionally has seen. Reviewers gave the device high marks for its
battery life, screen, speakers, light weight and Pen, but panned the
keyboard, the lack of a touchpad and 3D Touch, its long charging times
and its price.

Purism's Librem 13 Linux Laptop Is Sleek, Private and Secure
The combination of custom-made hardware paired with a tweaked Linux OS
makes the Librem laptop lineup a unique offering with several innovative
security features not offered in any other computer. The Librem line is
a work in progress. The operating system just reached version 2.0 and
comes preinstalled on the hardware built with the modified Linux kernel
in mind.

Users Balk at Mobile App Permission Requests
The Pew Research Center on Tuesday released a report on permissions and
mobile applications found in the Google Play store. The number of
permissions requested by a mobile app can be a deal breaker for six out
of 10 smartphone users, Pew found. Applications request permission from
users to access a variety of functions on a smartphone -- accessing the
Internet, for example, or using the camera.
