Today's Story Highlights

Google Launches Go-To Job Aggregation Site
Google has announced the launch of new job search aggregation
technology. The new initiative will allow Google users to search for
jobs either on mobile devices or personal computers, and to use a set of
filters to obtain highly targeted results pulled from many different
sites across the Web. Google aims to use its machine learning
capabilities to make an immediate impact on people's lives.

Trump Wants Tech Leaders to Help Save $1 Trillion
President Donald Trump aims to save taxpayers $1 trillion over the next
10 years with a little help from America's high-tech industry. "Our goal
is to lead a sweeping transformation of the federal government's
technology that will deliver dramatically better services for citizens,"
the president said Monday at a roundtable session of the American
Technology Council.

Microsoft Expands Linux Container Support in Windows Server
Microsoft has decided to expand its support for Linux containers in the
next release of Windows Server. Linux containers and workloads will work
natively on Windows Server, said Erin Chapple, general manager for the
server operating system. The company also will extend Window Server's
Hyper-V isolation capability, which was introduced in the 2016 release
of the operating system.

Apple Centers Health Data Strategy on iPhone
Apple quietly has been strategizing to expand its growing healthcare
business to include the management of digital health records, with the
iPhone operating as a central data hub. Apple reportedly has been in
talks with numerous health industry groups that are involved in setting
standards for the storage and sharing of electronic medical records, in
a way that would give consumers more control.

The Art of Manipulation and Misdirection
Last week, I listened to an economist talk about Apple's complaints that
Qualcomm had charged Apple too much for access to patents. What was
fascinating was that Apple had folks focused on the 5 percent Qualcomm
had charged it instead of on the massive profit that Apple made on each
phone. The price of the iPhone 8 likely will be well over $1,000 -- but
it could cost well under $500 to build.

Nintendo's New Lineup Electrifies E3
Nintendo previewed an impressive lineup of gaming content at E3 2017
this week, by many accounts. Its collection of new titles and targeted
versions of some of the industry's hottest third-party content seemed to
validate surprisingly strong sales of the Nintendo Switch console.
Moving easily from a living room big screen to a mobile gaming device,
the Switch already has gained a significant following.

Cook Gives Up a Few Crumbs of Apple Auto Info
News about Apple's plans for the automotive market have been dripping
slowly from the company for months, and CEO Tim Cook this week released
a few more drops from the faucet. Apple's auto efforts are zeroing in on
autonomous systems, he said. Self-driving is a core technology that
Apple considers very important to its auto plans, but it's very
challenging from an AI perspective, Cook noted.

Art, History and 3D Printing
The Tech Museum of Innovation last month debuted an exhibit that
includes numerous installations with an interactive component. Visitors
can don Occulus VR headsets to appreciate classical works of art in
virtual reality -- a completely new museum experience. There long has
been a debate on what constitutes "art" -- and opinions have differed as
to how music, film, radio and TV fit in.

Xbox One X: More Speed, More Muscle
Microsoft earlier this week announced the next version of its Xbox line
of gaming consoles, ahead of E3 2017, now ongoing in Los Angeles. The
new Xbox One X, which goes on sale Nov. 7 for $499, is slimmer than
previous models and packed with power. With a 6-teraflop Scorpio engine,
the One X has 40 percent faster graphics performance than its chief
rival, Sony's PS4 Pro.
