Today's Story Highlights

Google, Microsoft In Step in New Era
Apple, Google and Microsoft are three very powerful companies. Two of
them had big events last week -- Google I/O and Microsoft Build. What I
found interesting was that both Google and Microsoft largely were on the
same page about focusing on the customer. Both Google and Microsoft have
been making massive advancements with AI. Both have increased their
efforts to make the world a better place.

Baltimore Held Hostage in 2nd Ransomware Attack
Baltimore officials have admitted that the city government once again
has been victimized by ransomware -- the second such attack in just over
a year. City computers reportedly were infected with the RobinHood
ransomware virus. Hackers told city officials that they would unlock the
computers in return for payment of three bitcoins per system, or 13
bitcoins for the entire system.

Elive Elevates Linux With Enlightenment
The Elive distro's integration of the Debian Linux base and the
Enlightenment desktop is a powerful combination. Together, they offer a
unique computing platform that is powerful and flexible. Elive is not
like most Linux distributions. It does not have a team of workers
supporting multiple desktop offerings cranking out frequent upgrades
each year. It also does not have a thriving community.

Review Roundup: Pixel 3a Wins Kudos for Cameras, Battery Life, Assistant
Google's Pixel 3a smartphone, launched at Google's 2019 I/O developer
conference, has wowed reviewers with the quality of its photos and other
features, as well as its low price. "I like the direction Google is
taking with the 3a," said Ramon Llamas, research director at IDC. "While
it removes some of the features and functionalities of its cousins, it
still retains the key ones."

Microsoft Becomes Master of Its Own Linux Kernel
Microsoft has announced that its own full Linux kernel will power WSL2,
the newest version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This marks the
first time that Microsoft will include the Linux kernel as a component
in Windows. Microsoft also introduced a Windows command line terminal
that will add functionality to PowerShell and WSL. Both are intended
primarily for developers.
