Today's Story Highlights
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.

Apple to Raise Barrier Against VR, AR Websites
The next upgrade of Apple's mobile operating system will come with an
annoying surprise for VR and AR developers. It reportedly will block Web
access to the accelerometer and gyroscope in Apple mobile devices by
default. That means users will have to grant permission to any Web apps
or sites that need those components to function, including those with VR
and AR components.

New Android Apps Come to the Aid of Hearing-Impaired
Google has announced two new Android applications designed to make life
easier for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. One of the apps, Live
Transcribe, turns live speech into real-time captions by using a phone's
microphone; the other, Sound Amplifier, improves a phone's sound output.
Live Transcribe, which works on Android 5.0 Lollipop and up, will be
available in 70 languages and dialects.

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.
