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.

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.

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.

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.
