Today's Story Highlights

The End Of Silicon Valley
A recent article on the institutionalized sexual exploitation going on
in tech companies is eye-opening. It comes on top of the realization
that social media companies like Facebook are destroying the U.S., and
former Facebook executives have been dissociating themselves from the
company. Further, news recently broke of a big, industry-wide security
problem.

New Open Source Mobile OS Puts Privacy Front and Center
A renowned Linux innovator has developed a new mobile operating system,
called "Project eelo," in an effort to provide a level of data privacy
that traditional Android and iOS devices fail to offer. The new eelo
system will allow mobile phone users to regain control over their
personal information at a price they can afford, said Gael Duval, who
created Mandrake Linux back in 1998.

Nearly a dozen cybersecurity researchers this week reported two
potentially serious exploits of vulnerabilities that exist in most
modern processors. Three teams independently discovered and reported the
Meltdown exploit. Two teams independently discovered and reported the
Spectre exploit. The Meltdown and Spectre exploits could used to capture
sensitive information on devices.
