Today's Story Highlights

Attack-for-Hire Teens Collared in Israel

At the FBI's request, Israeli authorities last week arrested two teens
for operating vDOS, a DDoS-for-hire service that raked in more than half
a million dollars in two years. DDoS attacks flood websites with garbage
data in order to disrupt their operation and deny users access. The pair
were questioned and released after posting bond of about $10,000 each.

Bezos Trots Out New Glenn Rocket Design

Jeff Bezos on Monday disclosed details about the New Glenn rockets his
Blue Origin aerospace company plans to build. "Blue Origin's next step
... meet New Glenn," he tweeted. Bezos released illustrations of two
models, the New Glenn 2 and the larger New Glenn 3. They're larger than
all other rockets except the Saturn V, which NASA used for the Apollo
program to send astronauts to the moon and other missions.

Arya.ai's Braid Aims to Weave Together Neural Network Components

Startup Arya.ai on Monday introduced Braid, an open source tool
available for free to companies developing neural networks. Braid is a
flexible, customizable, modular meta-framework that works with operating
systems for deep learning, according to the company. It is designed for
rapid development and to support arbitrary network designs. It is simple
and scalable, Arya.ai said.

Facebook's Sandberg Expresses Regret Over Deletion of Historic Vietnam War Photo

COO Sheryl Sandberg has acknowledged that Facebook was wrong to delete
posts showing an iconic image of a naked girl fleeing a napalm attack
during the Vietnam war. The admission came in a letter to Norwegian
Prime Minister Erna Solberg. Facebook last week repeatedly deleted the
Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, "The Terror of War," on grounds that it
violated its nudity restrictions.

How China Could Take Over the World's Tech and Automotive Markets

Nvidia and Baidu recently made an announcement with regard to self-
driving cars that deserves closer attention. China currently is behind
the U.S. in automotive technology, but it has passed the U.S. and Japan
in automobile production -- I actually thought Japan was still ahead.
China is producing twice the number of cars the U.S. is producing right
now.

Apple Puts Its User-Friendly Stamp on Fancy iPhone 7 Cameras

Apple raised the ante for cameras in flagship phones with the
announcement of its iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Others already have
taken the dual-camera approach to smartphone photography -- notably HTC,
LG and Huawei. "While it's not the first dual camera mounted in a
smartphone, it's on par with the others in terms of basic
functionality," said Brian Blau, a research director for Gartner.

Cub Linux Is a Worthy Chromixium Offspring

Cub Linux, an improved rebranding of the innovative Chromixium Linux
distro, combines the look, feel and functionality of Google's Chrome OS
with traditional Linux performance. Cub Linux provides a complete
Chromebook experience on the hardware of your choice. The innovation is
quite impressive. Cub Linux also runs software from the Ubuntu distro
ecosystem. Linux is all about exercising options.

Sony's PS4 Pro Gets the Jump on 4K, HDR TVs

Sony on Wednesday officially unveiled the powered-up PlayStation 4 Pro,
which features smoother graphics, thanks to higher frame rates. This new
version of Sony's bestselling video game console includes support for 4K
resolution and high dynamic range, making it fully compatible with
4K/UHD displays. Some developers will add PS4 Pro support to existing
games, as well as upcoming releases.
