Today's Story Highlights

Disney+ Launches New Era of Streaming, With a Few Hiccups
The much-anticipated Disney+ streaming service has arrived. In the first
24 hours, the app was downloaded 3.2 million times. Demand for the new
over-the-top streaming service prompted the company to announced that it
had exceeded its highest expectations -- but with problematic results.
Many users were unable to launch the app on its huge opening day.

Nightingale Project to Turn Over Millions of Medical Records to Google
A venture between Google and Ascension, one of the largest healthcare
providers in the United States, will give the tech giant access to the
sensitive medical information of as many as 50 million patients in 21
states. Its venture with Google, called "The Nightingale Project," would
enable it to improve the experience of patients, consumers, providers
and associates, Ascension said.

New YouTube Terms of Service Create Stir
Google has published changes to YouTube's Terms of Service Agreement
that have stoked fears among some users. "YouTube may terminate your
access, or your Google account's access to all or part of the Service if
YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service
to you is no longer commercially viable," the new ToSA states. Many
creators are deeply concerned over the prospect of YouTube changing its
practices.

Tech Company Standouts for Giving Veterans Their Due
Today is Veterans Day. I got a note last week from Joe Sestak, one of
the shrinking field of United States presidential candidates, reminding
me that we should observe a moment of silence in recognition of our
veterans today. We've asked these people to put their lives on the line
for us, and we get a day to offer our thanks. Giving our thanks is the
least we can do.

UPS Chalks Up Another Drone Delivery First
UPS has announced the first two revenue-generating residential
deliveries of prescribed medicines to consumers. Its drone delivered the
prescription medications from a CVS pharmacy in Cary, North Carolina, to
a consumer's home, and to a customer in a retirement community. The
drone flew autonomously but was monitored by a remote operator who could
intervene if needed.
