Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Gives Messenger More Jobs to Do
Facebook on Thursday unveiled its redesigned Messenger app, which
replaces the list of conversations it previously displayed with a home
screen that will let users perform more actions within a chat. The Home
tab now organizes Messenger into recent conversations, favorites, active
users, and messages awaiting a response. It has a shortcut that reminds
users about Facebook friends' birthdays.

Nintendo's New Zelda Adventure Draws E3 Cheers
Nintendo on Tuesday offered E3 attendees a preview of The Legend of
Zelda: Breath of the Wild , the latest title in the action-adventure
franchise. This time the story involves much more than rescuing a
princess. The game actually has been years in the making, and at E3
Nintendo pulled out all stops, devoting much of its booth to the game.
Nintendo presented two different demos of Breath of Wild .

WatchOS 3 Offers New Hope for Smartwatch Category
Apple finally responded to concerns that were threatening to scuttle its
once-promising wearables category. Its introduction of watchOS 3 at this
week's WWDC has drawn high praise. The Apple Watch represented the
company's attempt to marry the ultimate Dick Tracy smart gadget with the
genius of the iPhone, but it fell short. Instead of a convenience, it
was far too slow and complicated.

Facebook Tackles Suicide Prevention Worldwide
Facebook plans to roll out its suicide prevention tools and resources
around the world. Already available in the U.S., the resources are
designed to help members who may be thinking about committing suicide or
otherwise hurting themselves, as well as family and friends who are
concerned about their loved ones' well being. The tools are available in
the local languages where members are based.

Russians Hack DNC Servers to Get Goods on Trump
Two groups of Russian hackers burrowed into the Democratic National
Committee's servers and spent months stealing information on Donald
Trump, the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee,
according to Crowdstrike. The security firm identified "two
sophisticated adversaries on the network," noted CTO Dmitri Alperovitch,
dubbed "Cozy Bear" and "Fancy Bear."

Sony Unveils Slew of New PlayStation Titles
Sony on Monday announced its new game lineup for the year at the
Electronic Entertainment Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. "We
have just concluded the PlayStation E3 Press Conference for 2016 and if
ever there was a year dedicated to thrilling entertainment experiences,
this is it," noted Shawn Layden, president of Sony Interactive
Entertainment.

New Linux Lite Is a Powerhouse Distro in Disguise
Linux Lite 3.0 is anything but what its name implies. It is a full-
featured operating system that lets you get down to serious business
right out of the box. It is one of the few out-of-the-box experiences I
have had testing Linux distros in which I actually was set up and
working in less than five minutes. Linux Lite runs only the lightweight
Xfce desktop environment.

Apple's iOS 10 Goes to Eleven
Apple on Monday kicked off its Worldwide Developers Conference with the
biggest-ever release of its iOS mobile operating system. CEO Tim Cook
called iOS 10, coming this fall, "gigantic" and "the mother of all
releases." Among the new offerings in the upcoming version of iOS are
more features in Messaging, and all new designs for News, Music and
Photos.

Crime Pays: Ransomware Bosses Make $90K Annually
If crime doesn't pay, Russian ransomware bosses wouldn't know it. The
average Russian ransomware boss makes $90,000 a year -- or 13 times the
average income for citizens in the country who stick to the "straight
and narrow," according to a recent Flashpoint study. What does a
ransomware honcho do for those rubles? Basically, the job calls for
supporting and maintaining the malware.
