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.

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.

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."

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.
