Today's Story Highlights

Windows Phone: New Friends, New Markets, New Lease on Life?
Following months of speculation that Microsoft may be rethinking its
approach to getting its beleaguered Windows Phone into the hands of more
consumers, two reports came to light on Thursday suggesting that indeed
may be the case. First, Huawei CMO Shao Yang reportedly said that his
company was planning a similar dual-booting device for release in the
U.S. in the second quarter of this year.

Zorin OS 8 Makes Learning Linfastic
Zorin OS 8.0, released last month, is available in the free core and
free education versions, as well as in a paid or ultimate version that
provides support and a few other features. Though it is an interim
upgrade, Zorin OS 8.0 has several very noteworthy changes and software
improvements that make it worth using despite the shorter support
period.

NSA Deploys Botnet Armies, Spoofs Facebook
The latest revelations about NSA surveillance indicate the agency could
infect millons of computers with malware, and has spoofed Facebook
servers to capture traffic from targets. "It is not surprising that the
NSA would create and deploy malware," said CDT's Harley Geiger. "What is
surprising is the evidence the NSA is prepared to do so on a scale that
could affect millions of computers."

US Tech Titans Making Bank From Offshore US Treasury Securities
Apple, Microsoft, Google and Cisco have accumulated enormous amounts of
money via interest payments from the U.S. government, according to a
report from the UK's Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The companies
together hold $163 billion in U.S. government debt. Of that $163
billion, $124 billion is in U.S. Treasury securities, much of which is
held offshore.
