Today's Story Highlights

All Things Appy: Top 5 Android Launcher Apps
One easy way to refresh an aging Android smartphone phone is to replace
the home screen with a Launcher. Launchers are skins with themes and
unique behaviors, like transparency and scrolling styles. Our No. 1 pick
is Nova launcher, an extremely customizable launcher app designed to
speed up performance. Neat tricks include substituting KitKat-styled
icons for the aging Ice Cream sandwich versions.

RoboLinux Smooths the Linux Migration Path
RoboLinux is an impressive traditional Linux desktop distro. It could be
an ideal vehicle for both enterprises and SOHOs to make the migration to
Linux. RoboLinux comes with a few extra features that solve some of the
potential problems of leaving other desktop platforms. One of its more
enticing migration tools is a preconfigured virtual machine add-on.

Tech Has Big Role to Play in Climate Change Battle
The Obama administration once again has trained its spotlight on climate
change. The Environmental Protection Agency this week announced a plan
to cut carbon pollution, a leading cause of climate change, by an
average of 30 percent nationwide by 2030, compared with 2005 levels.
Power plants account for 40 percent of carbon pollution, the biggest
driver of climate change.
