Today's Story Highlights

Learn Robotics and Amuse Office Mates With uArm
UFactory's uArm, which is an Arduino-powered 4-axis parallel-mechanism
robot arm created for personal desktop use, has blown past its $5,000
funding goal on Kickstarter with more than a month to go. Clearly, uArm
has struck a nerve, generating more than $60,000 in pledges in just a
handful of days. The uArm features a suction-cup base that will adhere
to your desk.

US, British Intelligence Scoop Data From Smartphone Apps
Don't get angry, but... U.S. and British intelligence agencies have long
been mining data from smartphone apps such as the wildly popular Angry
Birds. The National Security Agency and its British brethren at the
Government Communications Headquarters reportedly have targeted the
swell of data moving to and fro on mobile apps, based on previously
secret documents leaked by Edward Snowden.

Stratasys Makes 3D-Printed Objects Pop
Stratasys is planning to take 3D printing to a new level with the launch
of the first color, multimaterial printer. The Objet500 Connex3 Color
Multi-material 3D Printer offers design and manufacturing efficiencies
and faster production of quality products, according to the company.
Working in a similar fashion to a 2D inkjet printer, it uses three
materials to produce different colors.

Neiman Marcus Alerts Customers to Hack Attack
Neiman Marcus has announced that some 1.1-million customer credit and
debit cards may have been exposed in a hack attack. The retailer was
first alerted to the intrusion at the beginning of the year. It appears
that "sophisticated, self-concealing malware" able to obtain payment
card information was active in the company's systems between July 16 and
Oct. 30, 2013, CEO Karen Katz said.
