Today's Story Highlights

Tech Approaches to Offsetting the Ecological Disaster of Deforestation
Watching Brazil's rain forest burn is causing a lot of us to freak out a
bit. Referring to it as "the world's lungs" may be an overstatement, but
the rain forest is a critical global resource, and its destruction
undoubtedly will worsen global warming. Given that the U.S. government
has dismantled many environmental protection rules, companies are
beginning to step up to work on offsets.

Fitness: The Sweet Spot for Smartwatches
Smartwatches outsold traditional watches in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The category saw a 51 percent increase in dollar sales for last year,
along with a 61 percent increase in unit sales, according to recent data
from NPD Group. One in four Americans aged 18 to 34 now own a
smartwatch, and that is likely to increase. However, traditional watches
did regain the majority of the market in Q1 2019.

Manjaro 18.1: Goes Arch One Better
Manjaro Linux 18.1, released on Sept. 12, is one of the most complete
Linux OSes you will find. It is a powerhouse distro that offers a better
Arch Linux computing platform, and it is the de facto standard for
comparing Arch family options. After six months of development, the
latest series is a fast, user-friendly, desktop-oriented operating
system based on Arch Linux with an independent nature.

Facebook's New Portals: More Ways to Follow
Facebook has announced three additions to the Portal family: a new
Portal, Portal Mini and Portal TV. The devices let users make calls
using Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. The Portal has a new design that
resembles a picture frame. The Portal Mini is similar but smaller. The
Portal TV blends the functionality of a set-top box with social media
and video conferencing.

iPhone 11: To Upgrade or Not, That's the Question
Early reviews on the new iPhone models are appearing, and for owners of
older versions of Apple's flagship mobile, an upgrade may be in order.
Reviewers had plenty of praise for Apple's more expensive iPhone models
-- the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. However, it was the baseline iPhone 11
that came out the clear winner in the kudos game. The iPhone 11 is the
lowest-priced of the three new models.
