Today's Story Highlights

How IBM'S Project Debater Could Fix the State of the Union
Last week, like a lot of you, I imagine, I watched the State of the
Union and tried to figure out what was true and what was fiction. Tied
into several of the live-streamed press fact-checking streams, I found
that the comments validating or invalidating what the president said
came in so far after the comment was made that it would have been better
to wait until the next day.

Wireless Carriers Caught Playing Fast and Loose With Location Data
AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint have sold access to subscribers' real-time
location data to aggregators, which in turn have sold it to about 250
bounty hunters and related businesses, according to a report. In some
cases, the data allowed users to track individuals to their specific
locations inside a building. Some companies made thousands of location
requests to data brokers.

E-Ticketing Flaw Exposes Airline Passenger Data to Hackers
The e-ticketing systems of eight airlines, including Southwest Airlines
and Dutch carrier KLM, have a vulnerability that can expose passengers'
personal data, mobile security vendor Wandera has reported. They use
unencrypted links that hackers can intercept easily. The hackers then
can view and, in some cases, even change the victim's flight booking
details, or print their boarding passes.

Linux Task Apps: Plenty of Goodies in These Oldies
If you need a task manager application to run on your Linux operating
system, tap into a software category filled with options that go far
beyond the to-do list app you have stuffed into your smartphone. Keeping
up to date with multiple daily activity calendars, tons of information,
and never-ending must-do lists can become a never-ending challenge.
