Today's Story Highlights

Water-Resistance Breakthrough Makes a Splash
Scientists may have just created the most water-resistant artificial
material in the world. Many of those who study hydrophobic materials --
water-repellant surfaces in both nature and laboratories -- had found
themselves at an impasse with a theoretical limit on the amount of time
it takes for water to rebound from a surface. However, a team of
researchers have achieved a breakthrough.

All Things Appy: Top 5 Language Tools for Firefox
In this week's All Things Appy, we take a look at the top five free
tools for Firefox that will help you navigate the polyglot world. The
PC-based browser is well-suited to languages, and in this week's piece
we recommend the best pop-up dictionary along with a multilanguage
search tool and highly efficient translator engines that are superior to
hard-copy dictionaries.

GoToMyPC for Android Shines With Striking Simplicity
If you've had any technical support dealings recently, you may have
experienced the wonders of a tech agent taking over your PC remotely --
with your permission -- and running ghostly commands and installs using
remote-access software. I saw this first-hand recently when a Microsoft
support engineer had to repair a failed Office installation on a machine
of mine.

Internet of Things Will Burn Privacy for a While, Cerf Warns
"Privacy may actually be an anomaly," Vinton Cerf, one of the fathers of
the Internet, told participants in an FTC workshop on privacy and
security in the Internet of Things. Privacy doesn't really exist in
small towns, for instance. Further, consumers' social behavior is "quite
damaging to privacy," Cerf said. "The technology we use today has far
outraced our social intuition headlights."

Instagram, Waze Bring Windows Phone Out of App Dark Ages
Instagram and Waze became available Wednesday at the Windows Phone
Apps+Games store -- the latest popular titles to join the expanding
platform. Facebook-owned Instagram allows users to enhance and add
filters to their photos and then share them with fellow Instagram users.
Google-owned Waze uses real-time data provided by its users to update
drivers on traffic conditions.
