Google: There's No Hub Like Home

Google on Tuesday officially launched Google Home, its long-awaited
wireless hub. Google Home is an interactive personal assistant and
entertainment center that takes full advantage of the company's deep
advantages in Web search, AI and machine learning. Google's vision is to
place a customized version of its Google Assistant technology into the
hands of every customer.

IoT Could Become Playground for Botnets Gone Wild

The source code for Mirai, the malware behind the botnet that launched a
massive attack on the Krebs on Security website -- the largest DDoS
attack on record -- has been released in the wild, according to Brian
Krebs. A hacker who goes by the handle "Anna-senpai," apparently because
of increased scrutiny from the cybersec industry, last week announced
the release on Hackforums, Krebs said.

Google Plasters Its Name on a New Hardware Collection

Google on Tuesday unveiled a new smartphone and home hub that squarely
aim at products from market leaders Apple and Amazon. The company's new
branded smartphone, called "Pixel," marks a departure from past efforts.
Up to now, Google's Nexus phones were made by a variety of manufacturers
that sold them under their brands. "Google is trying to position itself
as a complete supplier," said ABI Research analyst Jeff Orr.

Apricity: Slip Into Something More Comfortable

Apricity OS is a great, two-pronged Linux distro that recently reached a
milestone that will ensure its continued success. Apricity's first
public beta, which was GNOME-only, was released more than a year ago. A
choice of either the GNOME or Cinnamon desktops later became available
in the monthly development snapshot releases. Rolling releases provided
a pleasant computing experience.

Today's Story Highlights

US Launches IT Contract to Spur Cybersecurity Purchases

The U.S. government plans to initiate an updated contracting vehicle for
the acquisition of cybersecurity information technologies for federal
agencies this month. The purpose of the program is to make it easier and
more efficient for federal agencies to obtain cyberprotection services.
Specifically, GSA will include cybertechnology providers on a major
listing of approved federal contractors.

Amazon Cracks Down on Review Freebies

In a bid to help bolster trust in its customer ratings, Amazon on Monday
said that it no longer would allow most incentivized reviews -- that is,
reviews written in exchange for receiving products free or at a
discount. Such reviews comprise only a small percentage of the tens of
millions of reviews of products sold on the site, maintained Amazon Vice
President of Customer Experience Chee Chew.

Report: Apple Shares Unencrypted iMessage Metadata With Cops

Apple last week faced renewed scrutiny for its data-sharing practices,
following news that it retains iMessage metadata and shares it with law
enforcement when presented with a court order. The company has insisted
that it would not share data that would jeopardize the privacy and trust
of its millions of customers. Metadata includes contacts, IP addresses,
and dates and times of conversations.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud Hits the Streets

Salesforce last week unveiled the Salesforce Commerce Cloud, billing it
as the fastest path to unified commerce. It's built on technology from
Demandware; Salesforce completed its acquisition of the company this
summer. Commerce Cloud enables brands to provide personalized
experiences for shoppers across the Web, mobile devices, social networks
and in stores.
