Today's Story Highlights

FTC v. Qualcomm: What Really Is Going On
I've been watching antitrust cases actively since the 1980s. I had to
study historical antitrust cases going back to Standard Oil and RCA, in
order to ensure compliance with a related consent decree When I worked
at IBM. Each of the other cases had one thing in common: Both of the
companies being charged were massively and obviously monopolies. There
were many questions.

A Practical Guide to Protecting Your Privacy Online
Do you take your online privacy seriously? Most people don't. They have
an ideal scenario of just how private their online activities should be,
but they rarely do anything to actually achieve it. The problem is that
bad actors know and rely on this fact, and that's why there's been a
steady rise in identity theft cases from 2013 to 2017, often resulting
in loss of reputation or financial woes.

Endless OS Functionality Controls Simplify Computing
Endless OS is an unusual Linux distro in that its user interface is more
like an Android smartphone or tablet than a Linux desktop computer
platform. Version 3.5.4, released on Jan. 17, brings parental controls
and other refinements that make this distro a cool alternative to the
Chromebook for home, educational and community use. Endless OS goes a
long way to eliminating the Linux learning curve.

Apple Banishes Facebook Data Reaper From iPhones
Apple has blocked a Facebook app that paid users for total access to all
network data. The controversy over use of the Facebook Research app
erupted earlier this week, with a report that revealed Facebook was
paying users $20 a month for root network access to their phones.
Facebook was on-boarding users of the program, which included teenagers,
through Apple's Enterprise system.
