Today's Story Highlights

Reliving D-Day Through Augmented Reality
The National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, is honoring the
exploits and sacrifices of the Greatest Generation in a new augmented
reality exhibit "D-Day: Freedom from Above." This AR experience
commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings, which helped
liberate France and Western Europe from the Nazis and lead to the Allied
victory in the Second World War.

YouTube Punishes Homophobic, Racist Pundit Following Internet Furor
YouTube on Wednesday demonetized the account of right-wing commentator
Steven Crowder following widespread indignation over its initial
response to his attacks on Vox host Carlos Maza. Crowder for years has
attacked Maza, host of Vox's Strikethrough series. Crowder's homophobic
and racist comments often spurred mass social media attacks and other
abuse against Maza.

Apple Highlights User Experience in New OS Lineup
Apple dangled the next versions of iOS, macOS and watchOS before
developers' eyes during the keynote event at its World Wide Developers
Conference in San Jose, California. In this round of operating system
upgrades, Apple seems focused on improvements. "They're polishing a
number of aspects of the operating systems, " said Ross Rubin, principal
analyst at Reticle Research.

Apple Spotlights Privacy, Big Iron at WWDC
Privacy, a new muscular Mac Pro workstation, and the debut of iPadOS
were topline items at Apple's WWDC keynote. During its more than two-
hour presentation, Apple emphasized new features in its products aimed
at protecting users' data and privacy. "At Apple, we believe privacy is
a fundamental human right and we engineer it into everything we do,"
Craig Federighi told the enthusiastic crowd.

AMD Slam-Dunks Intel at Computex and It's a Good Thing
Like a lot of folks, I'm a tad sick of Intel. Last month we learned of
its second big security scandal in as many years. Once again, the
company not only neglected to disclose the problems in a timely way but
also lacked a plan to recall the failed parts. Once again, buyers likely
will have to cripple their Intel processors if they want to use them
safely.

Amazon drones, live-action Excel and life after iTunes

It's Thursday, June 06, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. In the lull between WWDC and E3 (remember to tune in for Google’s Stadia announcement at noon ET), Amazon’s showing off new delivery drones, Uber Copter is ready to take flight and there’s some very exciting news about Microsoft Excel. (View in browser.) The company expects to have these in use within "months." Amazon's new delivery drone is a helicopter-airplane hybrid The new delivery drone Amazon showed off is a "hybrid design" that can take off and land vertically like a typical hexacopter drone, but it has aerodynamics (and thus efficiency) more like that of a fixed-wing aircraft. More importantly, it's safer -- and we're not just talking about the protective shroud that doubles as wings. Amazon is still aiming for drones with a 15-mile range and an ability to haul packages under 5lbs to customers within 30 minutes.  Who wants to go back to radio? Spotify Stations is the Pandora alternative we need Spotify made its Pandora-esque Stations app available in the US this week. The premise is simple: Lightweight software that breaks out Spotify's radio feature into a standalone app for easy access. Basically, it allows you to quickly fire up a music shuffle with minimal taps, instead of having to hunt through the full version to get to it. According to Billy Steele, it’s "surprisingly useful." Hot, live spreadsheet action. Microsoft Excel can provide real-time stock data Microsoft has teamed with Nasdaq and market-info provider Refinitiv to bring real-time stock data to Excel spreadsheets in Office 365. Type in a stock symbol, click Stocks and you can fill cells with real-time data like the price, last trade times and 52-week highs or lows. They can be used in formulas, too. Sponsored Content by GilletteLabs Turn up the heat on Father's Day with the Heated Razor from GilletteLabs. Limited quantities available. When style is just as important as sound. A closer look at the Bose 700 noise-cancelling headphones The Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 feature a newly designed stainless steel headband that gives them a more stylish and thinner look than the QuietComfort line. Bose says the wireless 700s were designed from the ground up, and, compared to the QC35 IIs, they also have all-new drivers, ear cushions and USB-C support. There are eight microphones on the 700s, four on each earcup, and they work together to reject ambient noise around you as you move. The goal is to make your voice sound perfectly clear, especially when you're in a place with a lot of noise. They will launch June 30th with a price of $399. Wondering how you’ll live without iTunes? We can explain. Apple explains the future of iTunes on macOS Catalina The new Apple Music app will serve as home to all the music you've imported or purchased, to all the music and smart playlists you've created in iTunes, as well as to the iTunes Store itself. Nine years later, the acclaimed indie developer is back. The magnificent reappearing act of Richard Hofmeier Richard Hofmeier was an early superstar of modern indie games. In 2010, he released Cart Life, an unassuming, grayscale title that he described as, "a retail simulation for Windows." Cart Life became an underground hit and then a mainstream success. It landed on Steam in 2012, and in 2013 won three Independent Games Festival Awards over titles like Gone Home, Hotline Miami and FTL. Hofmeier was the first-ever winner of the Excellence in Narrative prize, plus he secured the $5,000 Nuovo award for innovation and the $30,000 Seumas McNally Grand Prize. And then, over the next few years, he vanished. But wait, there's more... 1. Uber Copter's $200 flights launch in NYC on July 9th 2. 'Pokémon Sword' and 'Shield' come to Nintendo Switch on November 15th 3. LG's first 8K OLED TV is as big as it is expensive 4. Samsung's customizable refrigerator comes in nine colors and eight sizes 5. 19 million patient records were stolen from Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp 6. Cadillac adds 70,000 miles to its Super Cruise hands-free driving maps 7. Siri will play third-party audio apps in iOS 13

Leveraging Live Video Streaming, the Great Democratizer
When live streaming first started to roll out across multiple social
media platforms, it remained pretty unclear how this new technology
would interface with Internet users. More often a source for friends to
include one another on events they're missing out on, frequent uses of
live video streaming felt experimental in nature. What was it all about?
