Today's Story Highlights

LG Sheds Light on Internet of Things
LG Electronics on Monday unveiled a light bulb designed to illuminate
consumers lives in a more intelligent way. The Smart Lamp can be
controlled by an iOS or Android device over Bluetooth or WiFi. The 10W
LED bulb is 80 percent more energy-efficient than other incandescent
bulbs, LG claimed, and will last for up to 10 years when used for around
five hours per day.

China Seeks Answers About NSA/Huawei Report
China's government is asking the U.S. to explain itself -- and to knock
it off with all the cyberespionage -- following reports that the
National Security Agency has had its way with Chinese telecom giant
Huawei. The NSA reportedly penetrated Huawei servers to monitor
communications among company executives, and to gain access to the
dealings of Huawei customers.

Twitter Bags Encryption Program
Twitter rose to notoriety by being the place where people spilled the
minutiae of their lives, but there are times when its users don't want
everyone online to see what they're thinking. For those occasions,
there's direct messaging. When direct messages are sent by one tweeter
to another, there's a certain expectation of privacy there -- even
though little is done to protect those messages.

Nuzzel Aims to Calm the Chatter
Nuzzel, a service that helps users pick out the most popular items from
their social media feeds, launched to the public last week. The
aggregating network made its debut in 2012, but until last week, it
required an invitation to join. Now anyone can use the service, which is
spearheaded by Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams.

Microsoft Does Some Scroogling to Catch a Thief
Microsoft, which has been mocking Google's searching of Gmail
subscribers' emails with its "Scroogled" campaign, is fielding criticism
for having itself searched the email of a Hotmail user. The search was
conducted after Microsoft found that an employee, Alex Kibkalo, who
worked for it in Lebanon, had stolen proprietary code and shared it with
the Hotmail user, who is a blogger.
