Today's Story Highlights

Tide Turns in Favor of Crime-Fighting Smartphone Kill Switches
In the wake of overwhelming evidence that the kill switch Apple
introduced in iOS 7 last year has reduced iPhone thefts, Google and
Microsoft have agreed to follow suit. SF D.A. George Gascon and NY A.G.
Eric Schneiderman, who have spearheaded the battle to implement
smartphone kill switches, last week announced that the next versions of
Android and Windows Phone will include a kill switch.

How Amazon's Fire Phone Will Beat the iPhone in 3 Years
Amazon launched its rather impressive Fire Phone last week, and it has a
number of things that make it interesting -- but just as the iPhone
improved massively by the third version, I expect this phone will as
well, as a result of users providing feedback on what they want.
Ironically, if the iPhone fails against the Fire Phone, it will be
because Jeff Bezos is executing Steve Jobs' old strategy.

Should Everyone Learn to Code?
So the dog days of summer are upon us once again here in the northern
reaches of the Linux blogosphere, and for countless young people out
there, that means it's time for camp. Some, of course, will take this
time to pursue their sweaty fun in the great out-of-doors alongside our
friends the ticks and mosquitoes. Linux Girl wishes those hearty souls
well.
