Battlefield 1 Delivers Great War Action, Say Early Reviewers
Electronic Arts' new epic first-person shooter Battlefield 1 could be
the war game to end all war games, based on the first wave of reviews
published Monday. This latest title in the popular franchise from
Swedish developer DICE is an action-packed, rip-roaring take on World
War I. There's a single-player campaign that features a story worthy of
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles .

Meet Maui 1, the Slick New Hawaiian Netrunner
Maui 1, which launched this summer, is one of the latest newcomers in
the continuously changing list of Linux distributions. Maui Linux, with
its new Hawaii desktop environment, is a replacement and rebranding of
the discontinued Netrunner project. Its developers are attempting to
continue the Kubuntu-based heritage, while adopting some of the latest
technologies impacting other Linux distros.

This Election May Be Scarier Than You Think
Not that it isn't scary enough -- but if you look at both candidates,
who have had their images destroyed largely by technology, i.e., tapes
and emails -- there is a huge warning inherent in the process. Email
really wasn't a big thing until the late 1990s and even having your own
email server wouldn't have been likely before 2005, let alone thinking
through the security aspects.

Fake News Taints Facebook's Trending Topics
Facebook's Trending Topics section recently has carried a number of
trending stories that were either "indisputably fake" or "profoundly
inaccurate," according to a report this week. The news feed six weeks
ago ran a false story claiming Fox News had fired anchor Megyn Kelly for
being a closet liberal who supported Hillary Clinton. Facebook removed
the story, apologized, and promised to do better.

What Should be on the Next President's Cyberagenda?
When the new president takes up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.,
cybersecurity will be on the shortlist for action. TechNewsWorld asked
more than a dozen experts what should be at the top of the new leader of
the free world's cyberagenda. Following are some of their responses.
"The president has to set the tone early on cybersecurity within the
first 100 days," said Cybereason's Sam Curry.

HP Debuts Flashy New Computers
Watch out, Apple. HP on Wednesday introduced a new generation of premium
computer products that could generate the kind of excitement in the
market that's usually the domain of the folks at One Infinite Loop.
Among the new HP offerings are a new tablet-laptop convertable, a svelte
laptop, an innovative all-in-one model, and a 4k display designed for
dual screen setups.

Fedora 25 Beta Resets the Linux Performance Bar
Red Hat has released the beta version of Fedora 25, an open source Linux
operating system maintained by the Fedora Project community. The beta
release sharpens cloud and developer features, making this Linux distro
more attractive to enterprise users. Fedora Linux is the community
version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or RHEL. Fedora 25 comes in three
editions: Cloud, Server and Workstation.

Amazon Music Unlimited Rolls Gently Down the Stream
Amazon on Wednesday rolled out its Music Unlimited cut-rate subscription
streaming service, available on its Echo, Echo Dot and Amazon Tap
devices for as little as $4 a month for a single device. Setting a low-
entry price point "is a logical move, given that the company has
invested heavily into the AI and voice recognition powering Alexa," said
IHS Markit analyst Paul Erickson.
