Today's Story Highlights

Amazon and Apple's 'Tough Slog' on Madison Avenue
Amazon and Apple just can't seem to catch a break with the advertising
elite on Madison Avenue. In fact, advertising sales are a "tough slog"
for both companies, mourns a feature published this week. The problem?
Apple and Amazon won't reveal enough information about their customers.
This is the best news I've heard all year. In fact, it just reinforces
my loyalty to both companies.

French Teen in Hot Water Over Drone Footage
A French teen faces charges of "endangering the lives of others" over
his use of a drone, which he sent skyward to capture impressive (and
seemingly harmless) footage of the city Nancy. Eighteen-year-old Nans
Thomas affixed an Internet-bought drone with a GoPro camera and then
sent the contraption skyward. The ensuing video has been viewed more
than 270,000 times already on YouTube.

Google Data Powers Real-Time Deforestation Alarm System
The World Resources Institute has launched Global Forest Watch, a
dynamic online forest monitoring and alert system to help fight the
massive deforestation of the planet. GFW will let governments monitor
where forest clearing is occurring in near-real-time and track illegal
forest logging almost immediately. Farmers can upload calls to action
from mobile phones if their communities are endangered.

Old-School Event Management Approach Hampers ETM
Etm, an acronym for "Event and Task Manager," is a very useful calendar
and planning tool. However, it is a bit cumbersome to learn and far less
convenient to use than alternatives. It has an intuitive task-entry
format, once you learn its plain text shorthand. Etm stores events,
tasks and other user-generated notes and data in text files. You can
create, modify and view entries using two primary methods.
