Today's Story Highlights

Now Drivers Can Engage Siri in Safe CarPlay
Apple on Monday unwrapped its CarPlay auto initiative at the Geneva
International Motor Show, less than a month after Google announced its
grand plans to bring Android into automobiles with its Open Automotive
Alliance. CarPlay will enable iPhone users to make calls, consult maps,
play music and receive messages either through the vehicle's native
interface or through voice commands.

Galaxy S5 Could Win Over Mobile Payment Skeptics
Consumers love their smartphones, but a substantial number of them don't
love using them to pay for purchases. With Samsung's introduction of its
Galaxy S5 phone last week, the company is betting it can change some of
those consumers' minds on that subject. Like Apple's iPhone 5s, the S5
has a fingerprint scanner. Unlike the Apple product, though, the S5's
scanner can be used to pay for things.

China Risks Another State-Run Search Engine Faceplant
The Chinese government is taking another stab at the domestic search
market with a new service called "ChinaSo." ChinaSo was formed by
merging two already-failed search engines: Jike, launched three years
ago by state-run newspaper/propaganda pusher The People's Daily ; and
Panguso, launched by fellow state-run media outlet Xinhua .

F-Secure's Hypponen: RSA Lost Trust
Less than two months after publicly announcing that he was pulling out
of the RSA Security Conference because RSA had accepted a $10 million
contract from the NSA, F-Secure chief researcher Mikko Hypponen appeared
somewhat mellowed. He alternated between criticizing RSA and offering an
olive branch when speaking to reporters last week in San Francisco,
where the conference was under way.

When Friends Tell Friends to Use Linux
It's a natural human tendency to want to share a good thing with the
people you care about, and Linux is certainly no exception. It can be
downright painful, in fact, for FOSS fans to sit by and watch their
friends and loved ones suffer in the clutches of other OSes. Even so, is
it always a good idea to recommend Linux? One longtime Linux aficionado
and blogger isn't so sure.
