NVIDIA would be dropping pre-Fermi support and will be removing all support for graphics processors prior to the GeForce 400 "Fermi" series.
NVIDIA will support newly-dropped GPUs on Linux through 2019, but also will come with support for new Linux kernels and X servers.
NVIDIA fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 304.* legacy releases through the end of 2017.
No further releases from the 71.86.* legacy driver series are planned.
The Linux 304.* legacy driver series is the last to support the NV4x and G7x GPUs and motherboard chipsets also support the G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs, and motherboard chipsets based on them.
And this it's wonderful for Linux users.

Google Glass Spyware - install malware on the device -simply looked at a crafted QR code.
Seam google development team don’t really protect us from Google Glass device.
The main reason is one malware that uploaded more than 150 snapshots of his vision with no signal. The malware, designed by Mike Lady- 22, and Kim Paterson- 24, is disguised as note-taking software.
It takes and uploads a photo every 10 seconds when the display is off.

News: CRYENGINE - adding linux suppport .
Independent video game developer and publisher Crytek adding Linux Support for CryEngine Bodes Well for Steam OS. Here’s the salient bit from Crytek’s blog:
During presentations and hands-on demos at Crytek’s GDC booth, attendees can see for the first time ever full native Linux support in the new CRYENGINE. The CRYENGINE all-in-one game engine is also updated with the innovative features used to recreate the stunning Roman Empire seen in Ryse – including the brand new Physically Based Shading render pipeline, which uses real-world physics simulation to create amazingly realistic lighting and materials in CRYENGINE games.

News: A major security problem with the Linux operating system.
If you read this article will see this can be one big issue.
I try to find the bug under Bugzilla. I think is already here and will solve it. Also under lib/x509/verify.c in GnuTLS before 3.1.22 and 3.2.x before 3.2.12 does not properly handle unspecified errors when verifying X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
The GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS and DTLS protocols and technologies around them:

The GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS and DTLS protocols and technologies around them:
It provides a simple C language application programming interface (API) to access the secure communications protocols as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP and other required structures. It is aimed to be portable and efficient with focus on security and interoperability.Updated gnutls packages that fix one security issue read more about this here.
