Today's Story Highlights

Snap Doubles Down on Spectacles Wearable Cam

Snap, the company behind Snapchat, on Thursday released the second
generation of its Spectacles, a wearable video camera that captures
short clips that can be synced to a smartphone. The new version also
takes still photos and is designed to be water-resistant. The new
Spectacles sport the same basic Ray-Ban style design as the first
iteration, but they have been slimmed down and are less bulky.

Gmail Privacy and Security Get Ruggedized

Google has rolled out a number of new features designed to make its G
Suite collaboration and productivity apps more efficient and safer to
use. G Suite currently has more than 4 million paying business
customers. The updates include a new design, enhanced security and AI
components, and better integration of G Suite apps -- including Gmail,
which is getting a brand new look.

New Ubuntu Rethinks Desktop Ecosystem

Canonical on Thursday released Ubuntu Linux 18.04, which utilizes live
patching and a new metric data collection system. Notably missing is the
Unity desktop that had distinguished the distro but was poorly received.
Canonical last year made the switch from Unity 7 to upstream GNOME as
Ubuntu's default desktop environment. Unity is not an option in Ubuntu
18.04 and will not be available in desktop offerings moving forward.

Holy Grail Exploit Puts Nintendo Switch Consoles at Risk

Devices built on Nvidia's Tegra X-1 mobile processor are at risk of
attack from a flaw security researchers have revealed. The exploit chain
discovered by Katherine Temkin and others affects any device running the
chip, including the Nintendo Switch gaming console. Called "Fusée
Gelée," the vulnerability allows anyone to run code on the chip by
overloading a critical buffer when a system boots.

Today's Story Highlights

Researchers Create Hack to Unlock Millions of Hotel Room Doors

A flaw in certain electronic hotel door locks could allow hackers to
access guest rooms and other secure locations at millions of properties
around the world, F-Secure researchers have discovered. Software updates
were issued to fix the flaw in the smart locks after F-Secure notified
and worked with the manufacturer over the past year. The researchers had
found a way to make a master key.

The Scaling Challenge

There is a meme making the rounds and I have no idea how old it is or
its origins but I've heard it twice in the last week. It's easier to
start a company than it is to scale one. You can't say it's a
revolutionary thought, but for the last 20 years the emphasis has been
decidedly on founding, so this is something of a departure. Startups
don't grow to the moon on average.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/85307.html

Amazon's Latest Delivery Scheme Involves Handing Over Your Car Keys

Amazon has added a new option to its Amazon Key service for Prime
members: in-car delivery, which allows drivers to place packages inside
a locked trunk or elsewhere in a car that is parked in a publicly
accessible area. The Amazon Key In-Car delivery service is available at
no extra charge to millions of Amazon Prime members who drive certain
cars.

Google Puts a Lid on Mysterious 'Self-Spamming'

Users of Google's Gmail have been receiving spam that appears to have
been sent from their own accounts. Google said it was aware of a spam
campaign impacting a "small subset of Gmail users" and was taking
measures to protect against it. The attackers used forged email headers
to make it appear that users were sending emails to themselves, which
led to those emails appearing in their sent folders.
