Today's Story Highlights

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.

Google Showcases AI, Preaches Privacy at I/O Keynote
Google showed off its chops in AI and ML, renewed its commitment to
giving users greater control over their data, and introduced a new
economically priced smartphone during a keynote presentation at its
annual I/O conference. "They were there to hammer home the point that
when it comes to AI, they are ahead of their peers," said Paul Erickson,
a senior analyst at IHS Markit.

Get Ready for Feature Deluge at Apple's WWDC
Apple plans to introduce a boatload of new apps, features and
development tools at WWDC next month, according to a report. As it does
every year, Apple will use the WWDC, set to begin June 3, to reveal the
next versions of operating systems for its hardware products. For its
mobile devices, new additions iOS 13 include speed improvements and
interface changes, a Dark Mode and more.

Facial Recognition and the Fight for Diversity
I spent a good deal of my educational and early career as an analyst
doing research at scale. In fact, the way I got into the executive
resources program at IBM was through one of the largest research
projects my division had ever undertaken. A recurring issue with those
who attempt to address the diversity and inclusion problem is that in
the absence understanding it, they focus on the symptoms.
