Today's Story Highlights

2019: The Year Everything Changes
We are approaching critical mass on a number of technologies that we
will see increasingly this year. This wave will start at CES, where we
will see an impressive number of attempts at personal robots and AI-
powered digital assistants. Most will fail, but both the failures and
the few successes will set the stage for the first true mobile personal
robots that will arrive in the following years.

Preventing 'Natural' Cybersecurity Erosion
Every child who's ever played a board game understands that the act of
rolling dice yields an unpredictable result. In fact, that's why
children's board games use dice in the first place: to ensure a random
outcome that is -- from a macro point of view -- about the same
likelihood each time the die is thrown. Consider what would happen if
someone replaced the board game's dice with weighted dice.

Voice-Controlled Online Entertainment Is Gaining Traction
Smart speakers are becoming a more common platform for controlling
connected entertainment due to a rapid increase in popularity and ease
of use. Household penetration of smart speakers is expected to reach 47
percent among U.S. broadband households by 2022. New entrants in the
connected consumer electronics market are likely to make announcements
about new voice-controlled speakers at CES 2019

Kodachi Builds Privacy Tunnel for Linux
Online and Internet security are not topics that typical computer users
easily comprehend. All too often, Linux users put their blind trust in a
particular distribution and assume that all Linux OSes are equally
secure. However, not all Linux distros are created with the same degree
of attention to security and privacy control. Kodachi Linux offers an
alternative to leaving them to chance.
