Leading today’s stories is a post from VentureBeat, reporting on the new Google Drive plugin for Microsoft Office. It is an interesting idea from Google to get people into Drive and maybe editing their documents in Google Apps instead. Another big story comes from Wired, where they report on how hackers were able to remotely control many Jeep functions and kill the transmission. This story will hopefully get more coverage over the next few days because it is definitely a bit scary. There are a number of other security related posts today as well, that you really need to read.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
