Today's Story Highlights

Flood of Filth Turns Facebook News Feeds Into Open Sewers
Many Facebook users have complained recently about a spam flood of a
most unsavory nature. Some say pornographic images and images depicting
extreme violence -- sometimes both -- are showing up in their News Feeds
without their consent. Others say their accounts are being used to send
friends links to explicit videos and other messages.

Battery Breakthrough Could Give Gadgets Longer-Lasting Juice Boxes
Researchers at Northwestern University say they've made significant
progress in research that could lead to longer life for the rechargeable
batteries found in electronic gadgets. A team of engineers working on a
lithium-ion battery said that by taking a chemical engineering approach,
they've made a power cell that not only lasts longer, but can also
charge 10 times faster than normal batteries.

Amazon's Kindle Fire: First in a New Niche?
Amazon.com's Kindle Fire tablet will be arriving on consumers' doorsteps
