Today's Story Highlights

US Fingers North Korea for WannaCry Epidemic
The United States on Tuesday accused North Korea of responsibility for a
global ransomware attack that locked down more than 300,000 computers in
150 countries earlier this year. The U.S. now has enough evidence to
support its assertion that Pyongyang was behind the WannaCry attack in
May, Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert told reporters at a White
House press briefing.

Gadgets: Special Deliveries, On-Demand Drinks, and Magical Masks
BoxLock Home is a smart padlock designed to allow delivery persons to
leave your packages in a secure place when you're not around. The driver
scans the package and goes through a verification process to unclasp the
lock and place your package inside the container. Of course, you'll get
a notification when the process is complete. I'm not really sure I need
it, but I'd rather not have a box lying in clear view of everyone on the
street.

Social Media or Social Disease?
Is social media evolving into an antisocial medium? Days after one of
its former execs argued that the answer is yes, Facebook published a
post addressing the issue. "I think we have created tools that are
ripping apart the social fabric of how society works," said Chamath
Palihapitiya, who once served as vice president for growth at Facebook.
There is a lack of civil discourse, he added.

What Amazon's Abuse of Power Foreshadows for 2018
Given how many big names have fallen over the last few weeks due to
sexual misconduct, abuse and harassment, you'd think I'd name 2017 as
the year of power abuse. However, while I know a lot of folks think the
issue is dying down, I don't see that at all. There are entire
industries that have yet to be hit by this, and Congress hasn't even
finished cleaning house or putting in place rules to prevent this
activity.

Microsoft Gives Productivity Tools More AI Chops
Microsoft has announced new AI features and functionality for several of
its flagship products and services. Harry Shum, EVP of Microsoft AI and
Research, recently demonstrated some of the new capabilities. Building
on the progress the company has made in integrating AI over the past
year, the new enhancements are designed to help users perform
increasingly complex and complicated tasks.
