Today's Story Highlights

Google Spins VR Experiences on the Web
Google on Thursday announced compatibility of its WebVR on Chrome with
its low-cost Google Cardboard virtual reality system. It also launched
WebVR Experiments, an online showcase for virtuality reality content in
development. WebVR became available on Daydream-ready phones earlier
this year. The newly launched WebVR Experiments are essentially proof-
of-concept offerings.

Bixby Will Be Seen but Not Heard When Galaxy S8 Launches
Samsung on Wednesday said that Bixby Voice will not be operational when
its Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones hit the market. Some Bixby features --
Vision, Home and Reminder -- will be active when the phones become
available on April 21, Samsung said, but the Bixby Voice capability
won't show up until later this spring. The delay may be due to a
weakness in Bixby's English language chops.

Anbox Could Be the Android-to-Linux Tool Devs Have Been Waiting For
The ability to run Android apps natively in a Linux desktop environment
is a step closer to realization, thanks to Anbox, a new open source
project. Simon Fels, lead software engineer at Canonical, last week
debuted a pre-alpha release of the Anbox platform, which he has been
working on independently since 2015. There were quite a few problems to
solve on the way to a working version, he said.

Spam Czar Nabbed in Spain May Have Link to Election Tampering
An alleged spam kingpin with possible ties to election meddling in the
U.S. was arrested in Spain last week under a U.S. international warrant.
Pyotr Levashov had been vacationing in Barcelona with his family.
Levashov was arrested for interfering with the 2016 U.S. presidential
elections, the Russian news outlet RT reported, but the DoJ said the
arrest was not connected to national security.
