22 | Apple has long been criticized for a lack of diversity. But unlike most Silicon Valley giants, which suffer from unrepresentative employee rosters, Apple also has few women and minorities in its executive suite as well, with most keynotes by the company featuring white males exclusively. At the last keynote, the only woman on stage was a supermodel talking about the Apple Watch. Today's keynote will be different, according to an exclusive interview with Tim Cook by our Friday Co-anchor and Mashable Senior Tech Correspondent Christina Warren. (Christina couldn't join us today because she's trapped in the Moscone center waiting for the keynote. In that interview Cook told Christina that a lack of diversity in Silicon Valley is the fault of the tech community which he said hasn't done enough to show young woman that it's cool to code, and to be an engineer. | http://mashable.com/2015/06/08/tim-cook-apple-diversity-women-future/ | ||||

62 | Microsoft has opened what it calls a "Transparency Centre" in Brussels. The purpose of the office is to let government agencies look at Microsoft source code, check for cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities and benefit from the expertise and insight of Microsoft itself. The real purpose may be to convince governments that Microsoft software can be trusted. The center will be open to government agencies in not only Europe, but also in the Middle East and Africa. | https://blogs.microsoft.com/eupolicy/2015/06/03/microsoft-transparency-center-opens-in-brussels/ | ||||

They're using it for training quarterbacks, linebackers and safeties in a special VR room. They'll use an Oculus Rift or some other brand of VR headset, and then watch games recorded by 360-degree cameras that were attached to players' helmets. * * * | http://strivrlabs.com/wp/ | ||||
