Today's Story Highlights

Xiaomi Serves Up Apple-Flavored Mi Pad
Xiaomi fired a new salvo in its attempt to compete with major names like
Apple and Samsung as it introduced its first tablet, the Mi Pad. The
7.9-inch Android device -- which has the same-size surface as the iPad
mini -- uses an Nvidia quad-core Tegra K1 processor and will be
manufactured by Foxconn, cofounder and CEO Lei Jun announced. The Mi Pad
includes 2 GB of RAM and WiFi connectivity.

Flappy Bird 2 Due in August, Paternity Uncertain
Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen this week said that the wildly popular
mobile game will return in August and also that he is working on a
brand-new offering. After dropping a tantalizing hint back in March,
Nguyen on Wednesday told CNBC that the new Flappy Bird will deliver
multiplayer capabilities and be "less addictive." On Thursday, however,
he said that he was not the one creating the game.

In the Eye of the Right-to-Be-Forgotten vs. Right-to-Know Storm
A disgraced politician, a pedophile, and a doctor who received negative
ratings from patients reportedly are among the hordes of people asking
Google to take down links to information published about them. The
requests followed Tuesday's preliminary ruling by the European Court of
Justice indicating Google may have to remove links to people's names on
request, if appropriate.

Enlightenment Linux: It's not What You Think
The Enlightenment desktop environment is not for everyone. Experienced
Linux fans may delight in some new light bulbs switching on, but Linux
newcomers may find themselves groping in the darkness. For the Linux-
initiated, Enlightenment offers some powerful new flexibility in how to
set up and use the operating system. Enlightenment is radically
different from other lightweight interface shells.
