Today's Story Highlights

Dojo Stands Cybersecurity Guard for Smart Homes
Dojo-Labs on Thursday introduced Dojo, a device that plugs into the
router of a home network and acts as a watchdog to ensure that
everything connected to the network is operating on its best behavior.
The device brings some of the advanced technologies used to protect
corporate networks to the home. It can prevent attacks and detect
intrusions by observing how a device behaves on the network.

NASA on Tuesday announced it has awarded one R5 humanoid robot each to
MIT and Northeastern University to conduct research on adapting them for

Nvidia Updates Shield Tablet, Shaves $100 Off Price
Nvidia this week revealed a refreshed Shield Tablet K1 and indicated
that it isn't done updating the gaming slate. One of the biggest parts
of the refresh is a cut of $100 off the price of the 16-GB tablet. The
original Shield Tablet was available in a $299 16-GB version and a $399
32-GB variant. A new battery replaces the fire-prone cells that caused a
recall of the original Shield Tablets.

FBI, Carnegie Mellon Deny $1M Contract to Crack Tor
The FBI has denied allegations that it paid Carnegie Mellon University
security researchers $1 million to crack a network designed to protect
the anonymity of its users. The Tor Project, which operates the network,
last week accused the FBI of cutting the CMU deal. The attack on Tor
occurred from January to July 2014. The attackers discovered a way to
strip the anonymity of Tor users.
