Today's Story Highlights

The Max-Q: The Coolest Thing Out of Computex
I didn't attend Computex this year, and that was sad for everything but
my budget, because there was a ton of cool stuff announced at the show.
Dell, HP and Lenovo showed off new designs that were both attractive and
compelling. Mixed-reality headsets hit; based on Intel and Microsoft
technology, they were far more affordable than the strong virtual
reality stuff already in market.

Tech Titans Pledge Continued Paris Accord Support
Reacting to the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, several high-
tech industry leaders have pledged renewed environmental efforts.
"Disappointed with today's decision. Google will keep working hard for a
cleaner, more prosperous future for all," tweeted CEO Sundar Pichai. "We
will double our efforts to fight climate change," tweeted Salesforce CEO
Marc Benioff.

Plex Advances Cord-Cutting Case With Live OTA TV
Video streaming service Plex on Thursday announced the availability of a
beta version of its Plex Live TV. The live-TV streaming launch follows
last year's introduction of the Plex DVR, which provides users with free
over-the-air access to 86 of Nielsen's 100 most watched shows in the
United States. Plex Live TV currently is available only on Android TV
and iOS devices.

Microsoft Partners Heed Mixed-Reality Call
Microsoft on Wednesday showcased a new series of mixed reality headsets
from partner firms Acer, HP, Asus, Dell and Lenovo at Computex 2017. The
preview marked the company's commitment to establish Windows 10 as a
leading driver of mixed reality capabilities, as well as to open up the
market to a wider variety of price points and consumer demographics.

BitKey Unlocks Mysteries of the Bitcoin Universe
BitKey is a Debian-based live distribution with specialist utilities for
performing highly secure air-gapped bitcoin transactions. This distro is
not for everyday computing needs, but if you are obsessed with the use
of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, it might be just what you need. I
am a high-tech sort of guy with a keen interest in diving through Linux
distros both simple and complex.

Android Creator Launches a Phone of His Own
Essential, a company founded by Andy Rubin, the "father of Android," on
Tuesday pulled off the wraps on a new high-end smartphone. The Essential
Phone, priced at $699, includes radios for connecting to all major U.S.
carriers. The unit has an almost edge-to-edge display -- there's a bit
of bezel at the bottom of its screen -- that wraps around the 8-MP
selfie camera at the front.

Hacking and Linux Go Together Like 2 Keys in a Key Pair
Ever since taking an interest Linux, with the specific aim of better
understanding and enhancing my personal digital security, I have been
fascinated by hacker conferences. As soon as I learned of their
existence, I made a point of keeping tabs on the major conferences so I
could browse through the latest videos in their archive once each one
wraps up. I thought that was the closest I would get.
