Today's Story Highlights

Botnet Twists the Knife in iCloud Security
Hot on the heels of hackers stealing celebrities' nude photos from their
iCloud accounts and posting them on the Web comes news that iCloud users
are being targeted again. The Kelihos botnet is sending emails
purporting to be from Apple, informing targets they have purchased a
film through their iTunes account using a PC or other device not
previously linked to their Apple ID.

Intel Picks Up Its Mobile Pace
Intel on Tuesday made a mobile splash as it kicked off the Intel
Developer Forum being held in San Francisco through Thursday. It
announced the commercial availability of Intel Edison, its postage
stamp-sized System on a Chip, and of its second-generation Intel XMM
7260 and 7262 LTE modem. It also unveiled the MICA bracelet -- available
exclusively on AT&T's network.

Springseed Cultivates Note-Taking Simplicity
Springseed is a simple note-taking app for Linux that features full
Markdown language support. Most Linux note and text-editing tools do not
incorporate Markdown symbols. The real beauty of this feature is that
you do not have to use it. You still have a minimalistic yet very
efficient note-taking tool that doubles as a Markdown editor. The
Markdown language lets you easily format plain text.

Apple Brings It
Apple on Tuesday rebuilt its iPhone foundation by introducing two new
models with Retina HD displays: the iPhone 6 at 4.5 inches, and the
iPhone 6 Plus at 5.5 inches. It launched Apple Pay, which promises to
become the catalyst NFC mobile payment technology needs to become
mainstream. Plus, it introduced the drool-worthy Apple Watch in two
sizes, three style collections, and six choices of straps.

HP's 'Chromebook Killer' Delivers a Jolt of Sticker Shock
HP on Monday unveiled the Windows-based Stream laptop some have referred
to as a "Chromebook killer," but instead of sporting the $199 price that
was expected, it will cost $299. Featuring a 1366 x 768 display, 2 GB of
RAM and 32 GB of local storage, the new 14-inch machine is powered by an
AMD A4 Micro processor with a fanless design. It comes with 100 GB of
space on Microsoft's OneDrive service.
