funding, enabling it to continue its plans to connect developing

Analytics for $2.6 billion. The acquisition will give the company access

the world's largest holders of diverse health-related information. One
of its chief objectives is to use the data to bring more value to
healthcare recipients.

Cook et al Dig In Heels in iPhone Encryption Battle
CEO Tim Cook on Tuesday took Apple's battle with the FBI directly to the
public, penning an open letter in defense of the company's resistance to
a court order mandating it to create a way to access data in the iPhone
used by the San Bernardino terrorists. A federal magistrate issued the
order because the high level of encryption built into the device had
impeded the FBI's investigation.

optimized for hybrid cloud deployment. The z13s is designed to provide
advanced cryptography for mid-sized firms that need a high level of data
