Today's Story Highlights

Net Brass Calm Solons' Woes Over 'Internet Giveaway'
The lords of the Internet and the Obama administration this week sought
to calm congressional fears that the U.S. was planning to give control
of the Web to foreign powers. At a public hearing held by the House
Energy and Commerce Committee, Fadi Chehadé, president and CEO of ICANN,
and NTIA Administrator Lawrence E. Strickling argued to get the U.S. out
of the Internet governance business.

Jaunt Wants to Put You in the Movies
Though the current incarnation of virtual reality entertainment has its
roots in gaming, potential applications for the Oculus Rift and Sony's
Project Morpheus extend far beyond video games. Jaunt is one company
hoping to expand the possibilities of virtual reality through
development of an end-to-end solution for creating cinema-quality VR
experiences.

Calligra 2.8 Is Too Sweet for Words Alone
If you spend any amount of time creating documents, graphics or
organizing data into reports or visual presentations, drop whatever
collection of tools you use and put the Calligra Suite to the test. The
Calligra Suite is a forked set of office tools for the KDE desktop that
branched off the stalled KOffice suite. However, you do not have to run
the KDE environment to get it.

Cortana Reports for Windows Phone 8.1 Duty
Microsoft on Wednesday introduced Windows Phone 8.1, the latest refresh
to its mobile operating system. The update includes a personal digital
assistant named "Cortana," based on the popular AI character in the
video game Halo. Cortana is the Windows Phone 8.1 counterpart to Apple's
Siri or Google's much less personal Now. Users can access Cortana by
voice or type, and she will respond in kind.
