Today's Story Highlights

Cleveland-Chicago Hyperloop Line Gets Feasibility Study
HTT has announced an agreement with an Ohio agency to launch a study on
creating its first interstate hyperloop project in the U.S., connecting
Chicago and Cleveland. The agreement with the Northern Ohio Area
Coordinating Committee puts in motion a regional feasibility study, to
be carried out in conjunction with the Illinois Department of
Transportation.

Apple's HomePod Could Leave a Lasting Mark With Customers
Apple's new $350 HomePod could make an impact in several ways. In
addition to providing listeners with highly praised sound quality, the
smart speaker literally could make an impression on some of the wood
surfaces it touches -- in the form of white rings. The HomePod can
stream music to those who have an Apple Music subscription. It has a few
other capabilities too.

SentinelOne Debuts Unified OS Threat Protection
SentinelOne this week announced a partnership with Microsoft to bolster
threat protection for mixed platform users, making computing safer for
Linux machines in a multiplatform workplace. SentinelOne will integrate
its Endpoint Protection Platform with Microsoft's Windows Defender
Advanced Threat Protection service to cover Mac and Linux device
platforms.

Are Smart TV Designs Taking Home Security for Granted?
Millions of smart TVs from Samsung and some streaming devices from Roku
recently were found to be vulnerable to cyberattacks, allowing intruders
to take control and remotely change channels and volume settings, among
other things, according to Consumer Reports research. Vulnerabilities
were discovered not only in Samsung televisions, but also in TVs from
TCL and other Roku-compatible brands.

Google Offers New Mobile Story Tech to Publishers
Google has rolled out a developer preview of its new AMP story format,
which is designed to give content publishers an easy way to deliver news
and information on mobile devices with visually rich, tap-through
stories. "On mobile devices, users browse lots of articles, but engage
with few in-depth," noted Rudy Galfi, product manager for AMP at Google.

Intel's Fake 5G Olympic Hail Mary
If there ever were a time when perception Trumped reality, this would be
it. So much of what we see these days that looks real just isn't. I can
connect a lot of this back to Steve Jobs, who was the master at this in
the tech world. However, I'm worried that too many people don't realize
that there were several times Steve missed jail by the skin of his
teeth, largely because he did amazing work under pressure.
