Today's Story Highlights

Russia, Fake News and Facebook: 24/7 Manipulation
Back when the Internet first came to be, there was the belief that the
result would be more facts, less censorship, more intelligent discourse
and less successful manipulation. Being able to converse with each other
would lead people to be more honest, and our world increasingly would
resemble a utopian ideal of peace and prosperity. Now, decades later,
"fake news" has proliferated.

Gadget Ogling: Samsung's Return, Ultrasonic Tea, and Roaming Fridges
In 2016, Samsung's smartphone division wasn't so much on the rocks as
dangling by a single fingernail, millimeters from plunging into a deep,
dark chasm. The Galaxy Note7 had a terrible habit of exploding or
catching fire. Not exactly the best look considering people prefer not
to be injured while checking Instagram. The Galaxy Note8 is free of
those combustible foibles, we've been assured.

Credit Agency Equifax Cracked, 143 Million Consumers Exposed
Consumer credit reporting agency Equifax suffered a major criminal data
breach that exposed personal information of as many as 143 million
consumers in the U.S. between mid-May and July of this year. The attack
exposed a range of sensitive personal data, including names, addresses,
Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, and in some cases driver's
license numbers, Equifax said.

Global Cyberattack on Energy Sector Stokes Deep Fears
The hacker group known as "Dragonfly" is behind sophisticated wave of
recent cyberattacks on the energy sectors of Europe and North America,
Symantec reported. The attacks could provide the group with the means to
severely disrupt energy operations on both continents. Dragonfly
launched a simililar campaign from 2011 to 2014, but it entered a quiet
period in 2014 after its activities were exposed.

Next US Elections: Open Source vs. Commercial Software?
San Francisco could become the first U.S. city to adopt open source
software to run its voting machines. City officials last month
authorized consulting group Slalom to prepare a report on the benefits
and challenges involved in using an open source voting machine platform.
Officials hope a move to open source will make San Francisco's voting
software more transparent and secure.

Pixelmator Pro Whirlwind Appears on the Horizon
Pixelmator on Tuesday unveiled Pixelmator Pro 1.0 Whirlwind, a high-
powered version of its popular photo editing application for macOS.
Whirlwind will be available this fall. The app's interface has gotten an
overhaul -- it's now in a single window with no floating toolbars -- and
it boasts new nondestructive, GPU-powered image editing tools and
enhanced machine-learning features.

Bodhi Linux With Moksha Is Truly Enlightening
Bodhi Linux 4.3.1's implementation of the Enlightenment desktop,
released late last month, continues this distro's tradition of providing
an awesome desktop computing platform for office or home. When I last
reviewed Bodhi Linux, I was attracted to the relatively new desktop
environment. I recently installed the latest version on new hardware,
and Bodhi Linux did not disappoint.
