Today's Story Highlights

EU Gives Nod to 'Big Brother' Biometrics Database
The European Parliament overwhelmingly approved two measures that would
integrate the region's fragmented law enforcement and home affairs
databases into a centralized one that would include biometric
information on some 350 million EU and non-EU citizens. It approved
creation of the new system on two votes -- one to merge border control
systems, and one to merge law enforcement systems.

Samsung Applies Brakes to Galaxy Fold Launch
Foldable phones have been dealt a setback by Samsung's announcement that
it has postponed indefinitely the release of its Galaxy Fold. Samsung
pumped the brakes on the $1,980 phone's release after several reviewers
reported problems. Samsung acknowledged that their experiences indicated
the device needed further improvements to ensure the best possible user
experience.

Red Hat Breathes New Life Into Java
Red Hat is the new keeper of the keys to two popular versions of the
open source Java implementation, OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11. The company
has taken over stewardship from Oracle, which ended commercial support
for Java 8 and the Oracle JDK 8 implementation of Java SE last year.
Oracle left the enterprise Java business when it transitioned support
and maintenance to the Eclipse Foundation.

Apple's Looming Nightmare
The big news last week was that Apple finally agreed to settle its fight
with Qualcomm. Kudos to Tim Cook, because I've known a lot of CEOs
rather who would have fought to the death than admitted they were wrong
-- and not only wrong but acting disingenuously the entire time.
Fighting this to the death would have been far worse. What spurred the
settlement likely was he defense Qualcomm mounted.
