US Considers 'Proportional Response' to Russia's Election Tampering
The Obama administration on Tuesday indicated it was considering a
proportional response to retaliate against Russia for its efforts to
influence the U.S. election process. The administration has officially
linked Russian operatives to a series of cyberattacks against the
Democratic National Committee and other organizations, apparently in an
effort to influence the November presidential race.

Gadget Ogling: Google Embraces a Hardware Future
The first smartphones Google has made by itself, Pixel and Pixel XL, are
the first to bear Android 7.1 and the first to have the impressive
Google Assistant built in. The Pixel has a 5-inch HD screen, while the
Pixel XL offers a 5.5-inch QHD display. The phones have a quad-core
processor and 4 GB of RAM. I like that the fingerprint sensor is on the
back.

Tech Heavyweights Join Forces to Lasso AI
Amazon, DeepMind/Google, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft last month
announced the creation of the Partnership on AI, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to formulating best practices in artificial
intelligence and educating the public about the field. The group will
invite academics, other nonprofits, and specialists in policy and ethics
to join its board.

Cyanogen's Android Alternative Goes Modular
Cyanogen on Tuesday announced that it was going modular. Future releases
of its open source Android alternative will not support a full stack of
the Android OS. The new modular setup will bring a slew of benefits to
phone makers and developers, according to Cyanogen. "The new partnership
program offers smartphone manufacturers greater freedom and
opportunity," noted Cyanogen CEO Lior Tal.
