New Smartwatch OS Debuts on GitHub
Can a new smartwatch operating system based on Linux breathe some new
life into the smart wearables market? Florent Revest hopes so. Revest, a
French computer science student, on Wednesday announced the alpha
release of AsteroidOS, an open source operating system that will run on
several Android smartwatch models. Revest has been working on his OS for
two years.

Traversing the Social Media Minefield
Many people expect celebrities and other prominent figures to have
thicker skins than the average Jane or Joe. However -- as evidenced by
the numbers of celebrities who've forsaken social media -- fame and
fortune are not effective defenses against an all-out troll assault.
While attacks on private individuals can be more personal and more
targeted, they're typically much less numerous.

Microsoft, Qualcomm Tuck Windows 10 Into ARM Devices
Microsoft on Wednesday announced the compatibility of Windows 10 and
native Windows apps with ARM-based processors, including Qualcomm's
Snapdragon, which currently powers a large percentage of Android
devices. The new partnership will make it possible for Windows
applications, peripherals and enterprise solutions to run on new mobile,
power efficient and always-connected cellular PCs.

Tech Giants Team to Battle Terrorism Online
Facebook has teamed up with Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft to fight the
proliferation of terrorist content on the Web. The tech giants will
create a shared industry database of hashes for violent terrorist
imagery, terrorist recruitment videos, or images they have removed from
their services. They may use these shared hashes to help identify
potential terrorist content on their platforms.

Android Marshmallow on PC Falls Flat
Android-x86 Project eventually may become a viable operating system
alternative for your desktop and laptops computers, but it's not there
yet. You will have to wait a while for the developers to fix a number of
failures with the latest release upgrading Android-x86 to Marshmallow
6.0.1. Android-x86 lets you run the Android OS with the Google Chrome
browser on your desktop and laptop computers.

Ransomware Fighters Get New Free Tool
Ransomware has become a gold mine for digital criminals. In the first
three months of this year, electronic extortionists squeezed $209
million from victims desperate to recover their data after it was
scrambled by the malicious software, based on FBI estimates. At that
rate, ransomware could funnel as much as $1 billion into criminal
coffers this year.

iPhone Envy May Have Felled Galaxy Note7
Samsung's desire to match the iPhone 7 Plus led it to implement an
aggressive design and manufacturing approach that led to problems with
its Galaxy Note7 -- including some instances of the smartphones bursting
into flames, Instrumental reported last week. Instrumental engineers
tore down a Galaxy Note7, and found "tension between safety and pushing
the boundaries," CEO Anna Shedletsky revealed.
