where people shop, reasons for cart abandonment, actions taken to
qualify for free shipping, return preferences, and more. Check out
this Infographic about where the industry is, where it's headed,
and how to navigate the e-commerce landscape.

Today's Story Highlights

Okta Offers Devs Free Tool to Set Up Multifactor Authentication
Okta has announced the Okta API Products One App, which lets engineering
teams and developers implement multifactor authentication for any single
website or application. Developers can use API Products for One App free
if they display "Identity by Okta" on the login page of their app. Among
Okta API Products for One App's features are authentication and
directory services for Web or mobile apps.

Cloud Health Services, Part 2: Privacy and Security
Health services vendors have been partnering with various organizations
to gain a foothold in the cloud and to test out their solutions. One of
the cloud's major selling points is security -- but it is not as safe as
it's made out to be. Google Cloud "recently announced a significant
expansion in HIPAA compliance across our portfolio of cloud products,"
noted Google Cloud's Joe Corkery.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85351.html

ProsperWorks CEO Jon Lee: You're Going to Need Great Data
"There's this notion that software is primarily something you have to
work for," said Jon Lee, CEO of ProsperWorks. "There's a lot of data
entry, a lot of navigating screens and moving between different windows.
Software as it was designed in the 1980s was a database for recording
information. The trend you're seeing today is ... what if my software
works for me?"
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85337.html

Cloud Health Services, Part 1: Benefits and Complications
The cloud offers a host of potential uses, according to the healthcare
industry and academic medical center representatives who participated in
a Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society survey.
Application hosting was the top use, identified by 90 percent of the
respondents. Disaster recovery and backup, and hosting application data
were among other uses cited.

Today's Story Highlights

Next-Generation 7nm Chips Headed for Fall iPhones: Report
Apple has ramped up production of its new 7-nanometer processor for its
upcoming crop of iPhones. The new processor will be smaller, faster and
more efficient than the 10nm processor in Apple's current iPhone line,
according to a report. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, one
of Apple's partners, has begun mass production of the chip, which is
expected to be called the "A12."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85352.html

WhiteSource Rolls Out New Open Source Security Detector
WhiteSource has launched its next-generation software composition
analysis technology, dubbed "Effective Usage Analysis," with the promise
that it can reduce open source vulnerability alerts by 70 percent. The
newly developed technology provides details beyond which components are
present in the application. It provides actionable insights into how
components are being used.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85354.html

Rhino-Saving Tech Also Could Protect Kids and Borders
Cisco has reduced the poaching of endangered rhinos in Africa by a
whopping 96 percent. This success comes at a time when kids appear to be
increasingly at risk from rogue school shooters and the United States
government seems deadlocked on gun control. The focus of Cisco's tech is
on catching the poachers who kill around 1,000 endangered rhinos a year,
rather than on taking away their guns.

Cinnamon Desktop Spices Up RoboLinux Raptor
RoboLinux is a unique distro that focuses on incorporating Windows
versions XP through 10 within a fully functional Linux operating system.
You might never need the Stealth VM features that let you easily install
and run Microsoft Windows within most any Linux distro. Still, RoboLinux
is a topnotch general purpose Linux computing platform that comes with a
choice of leading desktop environments.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/85344.html

New Xbox Controller Could Open Whole New World to Gamers With Disabilities
Microsoft has introduced its new Xbox Adaptive Controller, designed
specifically for gamers with disabilities. The new hardware can be used
for game play with an Xbox One console or Windows 10 PC, and it offers
Bluetooth plug-and-play compatibility. It supports Xbox Wireless
Controller features such as button remapping, and it connects to
external buttons, switches, joysticks and mounts.

The Morning After: Sony looks beyond the PS4

It's Thursday, May 24, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Morning there! The end of the PS4 has been greatly exaggerated, but Sony is already planning for it. Don’t expect to see the PS5, however, until after 2020. Meanwhile, Apple is offering a tidy $50 of credit for people who replaced their iPhone batteries, and we get all the details on Battlefield V. It’s not all good news, however. The Morning After -- in its email form -- is taking a hiatus for a few weeks. We’ll be making sure everything works like it should and upgrading parts in the process, so there’s certainly something to look forward to. Our pre-coffee briefings will continue to go out daily, so we’d advise bookmarking this link to ensure you’re up to date each morning. When our newsletter is once again ready for your inbox, we’ll let you know! (View in browser.) But don't expect a new console before 2020 Sony says it’s the beginning of the end for PS4 The PS4 era is entering its final stages. Speaking to investors, PlayStation boss John Kodera outlined the company's three-year roadmap, and it seems console sales themselves are not going to be major source of revenue going forward. This is due to declining sales, which is, Kodera notes, typical of the usual profit- and life-cycle of consoles. It does also suggest a new console might be on its way -- likely the PS5 -- but Kodera didn't give away any specifics. It’s likely to be a few years off, still. In the same briefing, Kodera noted that Fortnite, despite its status as a free-to-play game, is paying dividends for the game console, with enough in-game purchases and downloads to make a tangible effect on PSN revenue. That’s how they get you. And no more premium passes, yay! 'Battlefield V' returns to WWII with ever-evolving multiplayer Games in the Battlefield franchise have covered conflicts from the Vietnam War to a fictional future in 2142. EA DICE took the series into new territory in 2016 with the well-received Battlefield 1, setting the game in the rarely touched World War I. For Battlefield V (let's just not talk about the naming convention), things return to where the franchise started: World War II. DICE hopes Battlefield V will tell some of the second great war’s untold stories, linking them to an ever-changing multiplayer experience intended to keep players fighting and playing. Oh, and you won't have pay for the privilege of new content either. It’s a May miracle! Jamie Rigg dives deep into the latest reinvention of Battlefield. Advanced functions while using less power. Snapdragon 710 will add flagship features to mid-range phones Later this year, you can expect mid-range phones with Snapdragon 710 inside that are ready for features last year limited to high-end devices. That means AI processing, 4K and HDR video will all get a boost, and more mobile devices will be able to handle Animoji-style augmented-reality tricks. And, with Quick Charge 4+, you’ll be able to get back to 50 percent in just 15 minutes. Sponsored Content by Stack Commerce Get these $130 wireless earbuds for just $30 today That’s not how any of this works. Elon Musk’s interesting afternoon During a tweetstorm, the CEO blasted the press for its recent coverage of Tesla, including a damning report from Reveal about factory safety. As a result, Roberto Baldwin’s latest editorial is about how CEOs should handle criticism -- and not about how Tesla has finally met its Model 3 production goals. It’s like a personal, legal Aereo. Dish's new AirTV broadcasts over-the-air channels to all your devices Dish just launched an even more ambitious $120 AirTV (the previous device is now the AirTV Player), a home server that connects to your antenna and broadcasts OTA content to all of your gadgets. Even better, it'll also let you watch live TV when you're away from home. It only applies for replaced batteries in iPhone 6 or later. Apple offers $50 credit if you paid for a new iPhone battery last year After admitting to slowing processor speeds on older iPhones, Apple discounted its out-of-warranty battery replacements. But if you paid to replace the battery in 2017 for iPhone 6 or later devices, the tech giant is offering you $50 credit. Terms and conditions apply: The replacement battery had to have been purchased from an 'authorized service location' -- and replacement batteries bought for in-warranty phones don't qualify. Your nostalgia may vary. 'Knights and Bikes' captures childhood in '80s England Knights and Bikes is a game about friendship, adventure and a county in the southwest corner of England called Cornwall. It’s the first game by Crowle and his Foam Sword partner Anthony "Moo" Yu and revolves around two girls, Nessa and Demelza, who live on a Cornwall-inspired island in 1987.  You can play the game solo or cooperatively with a friend. Pedaling on your bike or running around like a lunatic, you'll pass through Cornish staples including harbor towns, caravan sites and abandoned amusement parks. All of your powers are charmingly pedestrian; a well-timed frisbee throw or water balloon, for instance, can dispatch enemies from a distance. As you explore the world, you'll also see the girls' imagination painted on top of the environment. A wire fence, for instance, will be supplemented with make-believe castle parapets and arrows falling helplessly beside you. It’s all charmingly realized in a cartoon painting-esque style. Nick Summers profiled the two creators behind it. But wait, there's more... 1. 'Impossible' EM drive may actually be impossible after all 2. What's coming to Netflix in June: 'Luke Cage,' 'Sense8' and 'GLOW' 3. Federal judge rules that Trump can't block Twitter users 4. Engadget X Silica: Talk to me. Oh, and I'm an animal. 5. Sony isn't ready to give up on portable gaming just yet 6. NYT: Apple teams up with VW for self-driving shuttle vans 7. Twitch is hosting a seven-week 'Doctor Who' viewing event
