Today's Story Highlights

Digital Tech Gives Wordsmiths a Whole New World
Lexicographer Erin McKean gave a TED talk in 2007 called "The Joy of
Lexicography," in which she pointed out the limitations of print
dictionaries. After that talk, she decided to make her vision of a new
kind of dictionary a reality. Thus was born Wordnik. "Our mission with
Wordnik is to put all the words in the dictionary, and show as much data
as we can for any word someone is interested in."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80376.html

Nod's Ring May Be Smart but Not Precious
Nod Labs on Tuesday jumped into the wearable tech market with a ring
device that's designed to serve as a universal controller. Featuring
Broadcom Bluetooth Smart and Nexus-Trellis software, Nod's namesake
wearable input device is designed to offer touchless interaction with
set-top boxes and other connected home devices without the need for
remotes or cameras.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80373.html

AOL Users Waiting to Exhale
AOL on Monday disclosed that a "significant number" of user accounts had
been hacked, confirming rumors swirling around the issue for a week and
denying its week-ago statement that users' email accounts were being
spoofed. The hackers stole users' email and postal addresses, address
book contacts, encrypted passwords and encrypted answers to security
questions, and "certain employee information."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80372.html

Praying Mantises Sport the World's Smallest 3D Glasses
What might be the world's smallest 3D glasses have been developed for
praying mantises. People, horses, falcons, cats, monkeys and even toads
have 3D vision -- but until 1983, everyone thought that invertebrates
didn't, because their brains were so small and simple. That year, Samuel
Rossel of the University of Zurich in essence said that mantises had 3D
vision.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80367.html

Brian Warner: Tizen Has Good Bones
The consumer electronics industry has a secret ingredient: the Tizen OS.
It is alive and well and may control a device you now use or the next
one you buy. That might surprise some early adopters who watch eagerly
for the next bleeding-edge electronics device. Many of those who have
heard of Tizen are under the impression that it has no consumer or
developer-ready devices in the marketplace.

Today's Story Highlights

Cybersquatters Prepare for Mischief
Cybersquatting is a seedy practice that's as old as dot-com, but the
upcoming expansion of domain names could be breathing new life into the
practice, while offering seamier elements on the Net an invitation for
mischief. In the early days of the Internet, nimble squatters would
register domain names of brands, then sell them back to the owners for
tidy sums.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80368.html

Microsoft's Makeover: Nadella Confirmed, Ballmer Vindicated
Last week, Microsoft delivered its quarterly report, and it was a big
deal. It was CEO Satya Nadella's first real quarter and the Nokia merger
was completed. This is just the beginning of the Microsoft makeover, but
two things indicate that in the end, Ballmer finally did what was right
for Microsoft in prepping the company for Nadella -- and that Nadella
was the right choice to lead the firm.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80361.html

Polishing the Rare Gem That Is Linux
"Love is blind," as the old saying goes, and that can be just as true
when the object of love is a thing -- an operating system, say -- as a
person. Case in point? Linux. Fans of the operating system love it,
perhaps even to the point where they can no longer see its -- gasp! --
imperfections. Fortunately, the Linux community includes some clear-eyed
observers and thinkers.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80364.html

littleBits Goes a Long Way
Space fans the world over long have dreamed of exploring the universe
for themselves, but a new, 12-module kit from NASA and littleBits aims
to give enthusiasts a way to bring the thrill of space exploration
closer to home. The new littleBits Space Kit, launched on Thursday,
includes an assortment of electronic modules and NASA-designed projects
and activities.

Today's Story Highlights

Apple's Story: Passion, Patience and Pressure
True, market-changing, life-changing innovation comes from three key
elements: passion, patience and pressure. Apple is the poster child for
this view of innovation. Especially now. Especially when Apple is simply
selling millions of profitable iPhones and MacBooks and iPads, quarter
after quarter -- after quarter -- with few truly "new" products to show
off.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80359.html

France Mulls Banning GPS-Enabled Driver-Finding Apps
The French government is considering a ban on GPS-enabled apps that
allow would-be passengers to track down nearby drivers. The issue is
being fueled by irked taxi unions that increasingly are frustrated with
-- and helpless against -- ride-sharing apps. Thus has the government
drafted recommendations that include banning services that display maps
showing available cars.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80360.html

Facebook Dips a Toe Into the News Biz
Facebook on Thursday announced FB Newswire, a site aggregating content
from posts users put up on their pages that it will offer as a resource
to journalists. The content will be curated by Irish firm Storyful,
which News Corp., at the heart of a cellphone hacking scandal in the UK,
purchased in December. Journalists and media organizations "have become
an integral part of Facebook."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80353.html

Ubuntu Trusty Tahr: More Yawns, More Polish
A new Ubuntu Linux desktop line -- Ubuntu 14.04, known as "Trusty Tahr"
-- lacks much in the way of new features or eye-popping special effects.
You will find, however, a fresh batch of improvements in what is already
a solid distro family of desktop and server implementations. Canonical
continues its record of consistency with its latest version of Ubuntu,
released this month.

Today's Story Highlights

The Incredible Shrinking Technology
We are constantly moving. From a morning meeting to a lunch date to an
afternoon conference call, we are always on the go and so are our
technology devices. They are with us every step of the way, acting as
our personal assistants, communicators and life-savers. We are shifting
from using static, desktop devices to portable devices in order to
accommodate our lightspeed lifestyle.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80349.html

Google Rolls Out Time-Traveling Maps
Google has launched a new feature on Street View that enables users to
browse through images dating back as far as 2007, as well as images from
different seasons and at night. Street View users have long pined for
the ability to look at shots from the past, according to Google Maps
Street View Director of Engineering Luc Vincent. How neighborhoods used
to look. That sort of thing.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80351.html

OnePlus Unveils One 'Flagship Killer' Smartphone
OnePlus, a China-based smartphone maker founded by Pete Lau, a former VP
at Guangzhou-based Oppo, on Wednesday announced its OnePlus One phablet.
The device is being marketed as a "flagship killer," but whether it is
remains to be seen. Factors in its favor are its price -- $300 for a
device being placed head to head with the more expensive Samsung Galaxy
S5 and the iPhone 5s.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80346.html

Reading Into the Red Hat CentOS Deal
There was a somewhat quiet, cost-free acquisition of sorts in the Linux
world earlier this year when Red Hat announced it was joining forces
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux community clone CentOS. The move, which
effectively brings organization, governance, backing and technology of
CentOS under Red Hat's brim, is interesting for a few reasons.
