Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's New Tech Targets Human Creativity
Microsoft made a slew of announcements at its New York City event
Tuesday, focusing on the idea of user as creator. Among its new
offerings: the Surface Studio, an all-in-one desktop computer with a
touchscreen that's 12.5mm thick; the Surface Dial, a new input device
that provides haptic feedback; the Surface Book i7; VR headsets for
Windows 10; and a revamped Paint app with 3D capability.

Tech on TV: A Little Realism Goes a Long Way
Watching TV shows often requires the suspension of disbelief -- that is,
a willingness to press pause on one's critical faculties in order to
believe the unbelievable. Realism often must be secondary to story, in
other words. This very often is necessary when computers are used to
advance plot lines, when programmers and hackers alike can produce
tremendous results in seconds.

Gadgets: Magnificent Mics, Intriguing E-Ink, and Compact Computers
I've tried dipping my toes into the world of podcasting with a friend
this year. We haven't found it easy to get together to record, but for
the two trial runs we've had, I bought a Blue Snowball mic. I'm very
pleased with the sound quality, so I'm fairly certain I'd be happy to
have Blue's latest microphone, Raspberry. It's a gorgeous, portable
little thing.

Social Media Analytics, Meet Big Brother
The ACLU recently uncovered evidence that led Twitter, Facebook and its
Instagram subsidiary to stop sharing data with Geofeedia, a firm accused
of improperly collecting social media data on protest groups, and
sharing that information with numerous law enforcement agencies.
Geofeedia, a developer of location-based analytics, had been marketing
its technology to law enforcement agencies.
