Today's Story Highlights

GoTenna Makes Wireless 'Magic'
Startup GoTenna has launched its eponymously named device, which lets
users communicate without the need for a cell tower. "This is an
interesting concept," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias
Research. "It's like a walkie-talkie on steroids." The device uses
BlueTooth LE to pair with a user's smartphone. It can exchange text
messages only with another GoTenna.

Judge Rules Police Can Stuff Entire Email Accounts Into Evidence Lockers
Concerns about overly broad searches of digital data by law enforcement
once again have emerged after a federal judge issued an opinion stating
officials armed with a warrant can seize and hold a suspect's entire
email account. Such an action would not violate the suspect's rights
under the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, said U.S. Magistrate
Judge Gabriel Gorenstein.

Layoffs: There's a Right Way
Microsoft last week announced a large staff reduction tied to the
acquisition of Nokia. There is actually a science to how to make
layoffs, but much of that appears to have been lost over the last couple
of decades. I have some theories as to why, but how you carry out job
cuts actually is very important, and it reflects how well the CEO
understands people.

Nokia X, We Hardly Knew Ye
"I told you so" is a refrain that's oft-heard here in the Linux
blogosphere, and more often than not it refers to some fleeting
Microsoft tie with FOSS that subsequently goes wrong. The latest
example? It's a doozy. Redmond not only is laying off many, many
thousands -- most of them in its ill-fated Nokia unit -- but also
abandoning its short-lived support of Android through the Nokia X line.
