Today's Story Highlights

New Asus Chromebox Sports Shiny $179 Price
Asus on Tuesday announced a new Chromebox device priced at just $179, a
full $150 less than the Samsung product that's currently its principal
competition. Powered by either a fourth-generation Celeron 2955U chip or
an Intel Core i3, the diminutive Chrome OS device offers integrated
Intel HD graphics, 2 GB or 4 GB of DDR3 memory, and HDMI and DisplayPort
for dual display support.

AT&T Gives Icy Appraisal of Russia's Anti-Gay Laws
Joining athletes and activists, AT&T has rebuked Russia's less-than-
progressive stance on homosexuality ahead of this month's Sochi Winter
Games. AT&T, the U.S.'s second-largest wireless character, penned a blog
post -- titled, "A Time for Pride and Equality" -- in which it declared
its "pride in America and everything for which it stands."

Talking Cars Coming Down the Pike
The U.S. Department of Transportation on Monday announced it would move
forward with a plan that would make car-to-car communication mandatory
among light vehicles, a measure that could lead to safer roads. Vehicle-
to-vehicle, or V2V, communication allows cars to share data including
speeds and brake applications with nearby cars. That data can then help
warn drivers about possible collisions.

The Perils of Mobile App Insecurity
Smartphones and tablets have become ubiquitous -- and so convenient that
we often download apps and approve permissions without giving them much
thought. Such behavior exposes the data we store on our prized devices
to increasing risk. That blind trust is just what app makers count on.
Android users, especially, are complacent about synchronizing apps on
multiple devices.
