DC Healthcare Provider Limps On After Malware Attack
Despite its computer systems being infected with malware since Monday,
MedStar Health, which operates 10 hospitals and more than 250 outpatient
facilities in and around Washington, D.C., has continued to provide
patient care at near normal levels, according to several updates
released this week. Since the malware attack occurred, MedStar Health
has treated an average of 3,380 patients a day.

Stakes High as Tesla Gets Ready to Pull the Wraps Off Model 3
Tesla fans around the world queued up to add their names to a
reservation list in anticipation of Tesla Motors' planned Thursday night
unveiling of its Model 3. The long-awaited new addition to the Tesla
line is a more affordable sedan that targets not just early adopters,
but a larger audience of luxury car owners. Company founder Elon Musk
has shared key details in advance of the reveal.

Firm Wins Patent for Novel Way to Detect Spearphishing
Hackers in recent weeks have stepped up their efforts to steal employee
tax information from companies in all kinds of industries. Typically,
the information contained on IRS form W-2 is used to file false tax
returns or steal someone's identity. The situation has become so bad
that the IRS earlier this month issued an alert to human resources and
payroll professionals about the subject.

Microsoft Tells Devs to Talk to the Bots
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and members of his leadership team, speaking
to developers Wednesday at the Build 2016 conference, introduced their
vision to infuse human speech and machine learning into the company's
consumer and enterprise businesses. Nadella and Executive VP Terry
Myerson introduced upgrades to Windows 10 and Cortana as well as
technology called "Conversations as a Platform."

Gadget Ogling: Honey, I Shrunk the iPhone
The iPhone SE packs almost everything from the iPhone 6s into a handset
that looks almost identical to the iPhone 5. The only thing that's
really missing is Force Touch. It's a smart play, trying to convince
iPhone 4 and 5 owners that they can still upgrade to -- almost -- the
latest model without the need to take on a device with a larger screen.

For Many Users, Instagram Algorithm Is Not a Pretty Picture
Instagram on Monday moved to calm concerns among some users about a
proposed change in the way content appears in their feeds. Celebrities
such as Kylie Jenner and Cindy Crawford fueled the anxiety by urging
their followers to enable a feature on their mobile devices that would
notify them whenever those celebrities post to Instagram. The company
assured users that their feed weren't changing yet.

Latest iOS Upgrade Drives Users Buggy
Apple has been deluged with complaints from users who say the latest
version of its mobile operating system is breaking links and crashing
apps. "Following iOS 9.3 on iPhone 6splus update links in safari no
longer open, then safari crashes -- any ideas how to fix? Same problem
in Chrome," user John MacDonald posted Monday on Apple's support page on
Twitter.

You Rang? Microsoft's Holoportation Redefines Face-to-Face Communication
Microsoft on Monday unveiled its version of a teleporter, called
"holoportation," which was designed to transmit 3D models of people
anywhere in the world. Holoportation compresses, transmits and
reconstructs the 3D scans to Microsoft's HoloLens and other head-mounted
displays. It lets headset wearers interact with remote users in 3D as if
they were in the same space, according to Microsoft.

Apricity OS Is Clean and Classy
If you're looking for a quick, clean and classy Linux distro, look no
further than the Apricity OS beta. Either of the two available flavors
-- GNOME or Cinnamon -- is sure to give you a pleasant computing
experience. The latest beta version was released last month. Betas can
be frustrating and Arch Linux can be challenging, but Apricity's
developers ease that pain.
