Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: A New Nook, a Good (M8), a Lock With No Key - and Music, Music, Music
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook conflates lots of different things: It's
an Android tablet designed for reading, made by Samsung for Barnes &
Noble. That might seem confusing, and I'd agree. It's essentially a
branded version of the Galaxy Tab 4 with an e-commerce focus.
Specifically, there's a Barnes & Noble Newsstand app, with games, movies
and books on offer.

NSA Shares Its Data Wealth
The United States National Security Agency secretly shares the
communications data it has amassed over the years with nearly 24 U.S.
government agencies using a search engine resembling Google Search,
according to documents released by Edward Snowden. That's more than 850
billion records of phone calls, emails, cellphone locations and Internet
chats.

Torvalds Says Yes to the Desktop
It was just a few short weeks ago that we here in the Linux blogosphere
were rehashing the open source world's documentation dilemma -- one of
those perennial topics bloggers love to resurrect whenever there appears
to be a lull in the conversation. At the time, alert readers may recall,
Linux Girl compared the topic to the ongoing "Year of Linux on the
Desktop" debate -- another favorite.
