Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Show and Tell, Fidget Folly, and Connected Nightlights
The Echo Show is the first in Amazon's line of smart speakers to
incorporate a screen, and it seems very much more "speaker with a
display" than "tablet with better audio and microphones." It has all the
functionality of Echo, including access to Alexa, Amazon's voice-
operated assistant. The screen can, for example, provide a more detailed
weather outlook than what Alexa spouts out.

Microsoft Aims to Boost Internet Connectivity in US Heartland
Microsoft has unveiled an ambitious five-year plan that would use
technology found in the television white space spectrum to develop
affordable broadband Internet access for at least 2 million consumers
for $8 billion to $12 billion. The aim is to bridge the technology gap
between urban and rural American communities. The spectrum is a
currently unused portion in the 600 Mhz frequency range.

The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard Shows Which Bits Are Boss
If you've ever been curious enough to look through your system's root
directory, you may have become a little overwhelmed. Most of the three-
letter directory names don't tell you much about what they do, and if
you ever needed to make important modifications, it would be tough to
know where to look. I'd like to take those of you who haven't ventured
much into your root directory on a brief tour.
