Microsoft employees protest over ties with US immigration agency as controversy grows over families torn apart at border
More than 100 Microsoft employees have protested against the company's work with US immigration, following a "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in children being separated from their parents.
The controversy surrounds a $19.4 million contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for the use of Microsoft's cloud computing software by the US border agency.
"We believe that Microsoft must take an ethical stand, and put children and families above profits," states the letter, which is addressed to company CEO Satya Nadella.

Rugged NVR system for buses has 10x GbE ports for IP cameras
Lanner’s Linux-friendly “V6S” vehicle surveillance NVR computer runs on a Core i7-7600U CPU, and offers 10x PoE-ready GbE ports, 2x mini-PCIe slots, 2x swappable SATA bays, -20 to 60°C support, and shock/vibration resistance.
We’re a little leery of surveillance systems with video analytics that focus on interior public spaces, such as the buses where Lanner’s V6S will store and process video feeds from Ethernet-connected IP cameras. Yet, we can also see the potential for devices like the V6S to save lives, and we’re always suckers for cool technology running Linux.

Apple hauled into US Supreme Court over, no, not ebooks, patents, staff wages, keyboards... but its App Store
The US Supreme Court will scrutinize an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, opening the door for the computing giant to escape censure over its app store policies and potentially millions of dollars in claims.
The lawsuit claims that Apple – which has had its fair share of legal challenges from alleged wage fixing to defective keyboards – has a monopoly on the app market, partly demonstrated by the fact it is able to claim a 30 per cent commission on all sold applications.
That monopoly is used to kill off competition, the suit claims, by only allowing apps that are approved by Apple onto the App Store, with Apple insisting on exclusive distribution through its store as a condition of approval.
