Today's Story Highlights

The Return of Industrial Espionage and the Building New Wave of Scandals
As powerful men drop like flies due to their inability to resist abusing
their authority, it's clear that the problem is widespread. Similarly,
it's likely that we'll find the problem of alleged industrial espionage
is not limited to Uber. You see, when people misuse authority -- and the
sexual harassment problem is a massive misuse of authority -- folks
typically don't just misuse it in one area.

FDA Gives Nod to Apple Watch EKG Reader Accessory
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given the KardiaBand its stamp
of approval, AliveCor announced Thursday. The device is the first FDA-
cleared personal electrocardiogram accessory designed for use with an
Apple Watch. The KardiaBand allows users to take EKG readings in order
to distinguish between normal sinus heart rhythms and atrial
fibrillation.

Quantum Key Distribution Gets a Speed Boost
A method for scrambling data to protect it from the super powerful
computers of the future has received a speed boost from a team of
researchers from Duke and Ohio State universities and the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. The method uses quantum key distribution to guard
data from prying eyes. The problem in the past with the technology is
it's slow. Transfer speeds typically are measured in kilobits per
second.

Major Players Roll Up Sleeves to Solve Open Source Licensing Problems
Four big tech players this week moved to improve their handling of open
source software licensing violations. Red Hat, Google, Facebook and IBM
said they would apply error standards in GNU GPLv3 to all of their open
source licensing, even licenses granted under older GPL agreements.
"This will make everything consistent with GPLv3," said IP attorney
Lawrence Rosen.
