Drone, Ferris Wheel Altercation a Worrying Sign of the Times
A drone crashed into the 175-foot-tall Seattle Great Wheel last week,
triggering a police investigation. The Great Wheel is a ferris wheel
near the downtown Seattle waterfront. No damage or injuries were
reported in the crash. "I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often,"
commented Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

Ubuntu Studio Is a Treasure Trove for Creative Types
Ubuntu Studio 15.10 is a one-stop Linux OS shop for most creative
people. It bundles a nearly full range of multimedia content-creation
applications for workflows involving audio, graphics, video, photography
and publishing. The developers describe this distro as a multimedia
content-creation hub for all five creative workflows. The last element
-- publishing -- is the weakest link.

Facebook to Broaden Use of Safety Check in Disasters
Facebook faced a social media firestorm this weekend for deploying its
safety check tool during Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris. Large
numbers of people used social media to let loved ones and officials know
they were hiding, injured, or safe and out of harm's way. The decision
provoked questions over why the technology was not deployed during
similar incidents in other regions.

Microsoft Gives Gamers a New Xbox One Experience
Microsoft on Thursday began rolling out the New Xbox One Experience,
delivering backward compatibility for Xbox 360 games and updating the
user interface to a Windows 10 foundation. Support for legacy Xbox games
is the headliner, but the roughly 1.15-GB update includes new social
elements baked into a reworked interface. The refreshed interface is
faster and more social, the company said.

Will Apple Beat the Enterprise Curse?
Given that it is basically a big iPad with a better keyboard option and
stylus support, the iPad Pro has been getting decent reviews. It can be
classified as a first-generation product -- and as such, it does far
better than most. However, there have been a huge number of companies in
Apple's space that have gone under or stalled when they broadened their
focus from the consumer to target IT.
