Today's Story Highlights

Samsung's Galaxy S5 Mini Sashays on Stage
Roughly three months after the launch of its flagship Galaxy S5
smartphone, Samsung on Tuesday debuted the device's smaller sibling: the
widely anticipated Galaxy S5 mini. Featuring a 4.5-inch HD 720 x 1280
Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy S5 mini comes equipped with a Quad Core
1.4-GHz processor and 1.5 GB RAM, along with 8-MP rear-facing and 2.1-MP
front-facing cameras.

Dragonfly Swoops Down on Energy Firms
The energy industry in the United States and Europe is being targeted by
a cybercriminal gang that's suspected of being state-sponsored and has
links to Russia. Known variously as "Dragonfly" and "Energetic Bear,"
the group has been operating at least since 2011. Its focus appears to
be espionage and persistent access, with a side dish of sabotage as
required, Symantec said.

Land of the Free, or Home on the Open Range?
Here in the Linux community, there's never any shortage of opportunities
to wax philosophical about the success of our favorite operating system.
After all, the traditional -- read: proprietary -- model had nothing to
do with it, strictly speaking, so FOSS fans can't be blamed for wanting
to extol the virtues of the free and open source model instead.

Google Aims to Defrag Android Universe
As any Android user knows, the version you're using can vary widely
because it depends on parties other than Google. That's why nearly two-
thirds of users are running a version of Android introduced in 2012 or
earlier. With Android making the leap to wearables and the Internet of
Things, however, Google is aiming to make that kind of fragmentation a
thing of the past.
