Samsung stops production of the Galaxy Note 7 after packing it with "so much innovation it became uncontrollable." Verizon wants a discount on its Yahoo purchase after the largest hack in history and possibly the most intrusive government surveillance program. Amazon Music Unlimited, released today, is ridiculously cheap - if you own an Amazon Echo. Who should buy Twitter? Disney, Google, and Apple won't.

Microsoft is heading to NYC in late October. But is this a Windows event? A hardware event? Both? What we expect to see, and what we expect not to see. Does Microsoft even need Windows anymore? Of course. But for how long? What's the end game here? Leo's Surface Book got borked by the last Windows update. Microsoft issued a scripting fix. Yesterday was Microsoft's first big Patch Tuesday - what will it bork this time? So far, reports are good...

After fires, recalls, replacements, and fires from replacements, Samsung has finally thrown in the towel and discontinued the Galaxy Note 7. Is the Note brand permanently damaged? In other Samsung news, the US Supreme Court hears arguments in one Apple vs Samsung case, and a US Court of Appeals has reinstated Apple's $120 million win over Samsung in another. Samsung's response? Copy the cylindrical Mac Pro. In non-Samsung news, the tea leaves point to Apple holding an event in late October to announce... something? And iOS app developers are up in arms over Apple kicking Dash off the App Store.

Megan Morrone and Jason Howell discuss the day's tech news with Tom Merritt from The Daily Tech News Show. The American Civil Liberties Union published a blog post that details how Twitter, Facebook and Instagram unknowingly fed data to 500 law enforcement agencies during the protests in Baltimore and Ferguson earlier this year. Tech Crunch reports that the World Economic Forum announced a new tech hub in San Francisco to recognize technology's impact on the global economy and to update policies and regulations, some of which were written before the Internet was invented. A report on the Wall Street Journal indicates that Amazon is interested in opening not only a large drive-up grocery store near its Seattle headquarters, but also smaller convenience stores that could sell perishable items like produce, meat, cheese, and milk. Sprint wants to close the homework gap with the 1Million Project. Over the next five years they will give 1 million free devices and free high-speed data plans to low-income students. Those involved with the program can choose a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or hotspot device. Sprint says they'll work with students to determine the best device.

At the end of 2014, the Berlin Linux User Group (BeLUG) developed a concept for a joint Linux event which aims at interested people who do not know Linux yet and especially at the (non-IT) media. This event can be organized with very little effort i.e. by small groups without a budget, too. The first event of this kind was in Berlin in May 2015 at eight locations (each run by another organization).

The second Linux Presentation Day (LPD 2015.2) was on November, 14th 2015 but this time not limited to Berlin but in 72 cities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (more than 1,500 visitors). The LPD 2016.1 was on April, 30th 2016 in more than 110 cities in 10 countries.
