Today's Story Highlights

EHang Shows Off Passenger Drone's Flight Successes
EHang this week released footage of the latest test flights of its EHang
184 personal Autonomous Aerial Vehicle. The EHang 184 can transport a
single person at up to 130kph in Force 7 typhoon conditions, the company
said. EHang plans to further improve the passenger experience and add an
optional manual control so passengers with piloting experience can
operate the AAV manually.

Leak of Stale iOS Source Code Could Trigger Fresh Problems
Apple lawyers have sent a copyright violation notice to Github,
following the publication of leaked iOS 9 source code on the site.
Though iOS 9 is dated, it's possible that the leaked code could be used
to jailbreak older devices or worse. Publication of the code violated
Apple's rights under the DMCA, the attorneys wrote, demanding that the
iBoot source code be removed.

New MIT Project to Probe Mysteries of Human Intelligence
MIT last week launched the MIT Intelligence Quest, an initiative to find
out how human intelligence works, in engineering terms, and how a deeper
grasp of human intelligence can be applied to building wiser and more
useful machines. Life scientists, computer scientists, social scientists
and engineers will collaborate in the effort.

With 4K HDR, Olympics May Be More Colorful Than Ever
The parade of Olympic athletes entering Pyeongchang could be quite
colorful for a few reasons. Athletes from North and South Korea will
enter together for the first time in more than a decade, and viewers at
home will be able to see the ceremony and some events like never before.
NBCUniversal has decided to make the XXIII Olympic Winter games
available to cable and satellite partners in 4K HDR.

Open Up the Source Code to Lock Down Your Data
Meaningful security is more than an app or an OS. It's a mindset. Linux
security tools by themselves will not make you or anyone more secure.
Security requires trade-offs in convenience, so the tools I'll highlight
here are not recommended as "daily drivers." Only you can determine your
ideal balance point. Perhaps the single greatest strength of Linux is
that it is open source.

Critics Love HomePod's Sound but Rap Its Smarts
Critics have begun weighing in on Apple's HomePod smart speaker, and
they're loving the device's sound but don't have much affection for its
smarts. The HomePod's sound outclassed top-shelf competitor SonosOne,
according to Matthew Panzarino. "The HomePod was the 'best' sounding.
It's nuanced and subtle with great separation and clarity across all
kinds of music," he wrote.
