Today's Story Highlights

Samsung's 'Meaningful Innovation' Crusade
Samsung hinted it wasn't about to rock the mobile world with the choice
of the warmup band for its Unpacked 2014 event Monday -- the Barcelona
Opera House Chamber Orchestra. At the event, held at the Mobile World
Congress in Spain, it announced a new version of its flagship
smartphone, the Galaxy S5, as well as an upgrade of its smartwatch, the
Gear 2, and an advanced fitness band, the Gear Fit.

Windows XP to Live On in China
A handful of Chinese Web companies are banding together to provide user
support -- system upgrades, security services and the like -- to
domestic users after Microsoft turns out the lights on Windows XP.
Microsoft announced that it's going to punt on Windows XP in early
April. Alas, an estimated 25-plus percent of China's computers run on
the operating system. But fear not!

Security Firms Scour Mobile Apps
Security pros weren't very kind to mobile applications last week. A
number of firms knocked apps produced for the smartphone market for all
kinds of risky behaviors that could lead to trouble not only for mobile
device owners, but also for their employers. While Android has been a
poster child for misbehaving apps in the past, competitor Apple's apps
aren't as pristine as is commonly believed.

Microsoft Beckons New Consumers to Old Online Services
What's in a name? Microsoft is hoping more traffic to two of its online
properties. The company has renamed its cloud storage service because of
legal entanglements and the website for free versions of its Office
productivity apps because of consumer confusion. The name changes, which
took effect this week, weren't accompanied by very much in the way of
feature changes.
