Today's Story Highlights

Lenovo Smart Display Shows Loads of Potential
Lenovo's Smart Display with Google Assistant has hit the market. There
are two versions of the device, 8-inch and 10-inch, both with full HD
screens, and priced at $200 and $250 respectively. "The cost is
significantly below an iPad mini and it offers far more functionality
than just a digital picture frame or a Bluetooth speaker," said Alan
Lepofsky, principal analyst at Constellation Research.

Earrings With Earphones and a Smartphone Bonanza
Swings Bluetooth Earrings with built-in earphones showcase a practical,
clever idea for people with pierced ears. Swings certainly could fix the
problem of losing Apple's expensive AirPods to the ether or having to
root around in one's pockets or purse to find one's tangled-up headset.
You can expect five hours of listening time out of the Swings on a
single charge.

Russian Hackers Have Invaded Hundreds of US Utilities: Report
Hundreds of U.S. utilities were penetrated by Russian hackers who could
have disrupted the nation's power grid. The attacks were launched last
year by threat actors sponsored by the Russian government, according to
a report. The hackers used Black Hat tools such as phishing and
waterhole traps to obtain credentials from legitimate users and leverage
them to gain access to the utilities.

FreeOffice Suite Is Almost Blue Ribbon-Worthy
SoftMaker's FreeOffice 2018 Linux office suite is a high-end product
that provides performance and compatibility with Microsoft Office and
other office suites. FreeOffice 2018 is a free version that is nearly
identical to the features and UI of Softmaker's commercial flagship
office suite, SoftMaker Office 2018. The FreeOffice 2018 suite is a
capable alternative to its commercial upgrade.

Sony's 48MP Sensor Delivers Greater Detail Despite Shrunken Pixels
Mobile phone cameras are about to get a significant performance boost.
Sony on Monday introduced a 48-megapixel sensor for cellphone cameras
that measures less than one-third of an inch diagonally. The sensor is
slated for release in September. To pack that many pixels into such
tight quarters, Sony had to shrink their size to 8 microns. Shrinking
pixel sizes usually results in performance degradation, not improvement.
