Today's Story Highlights

iOS 8 Rolls Out With Oodles of Goodies
Apple made the latest version of its iOS mobile operating system
available for download on Wednesday, and while it looks familiar, it
contains lots of new delights not only for fans, but also for its
legions of developers. "If you already have iOS 7, you're going to
immediately know how to use this, but there's a lot of new features,"
said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.

Panasonic's New Point-and-Shoot Snapper Supports 4K Video
Panasonic on Monday introduced the Lumix DMC-LX100, a point-and-shoot
camera that supports the latest in high-quality video -- 3840 x 2160 4K
video at 30 frames per second -- as well as 1920 x 1080 HD video, which
can be stored in AVCHD progressive or MP4 format. The LX100 takes
advantage of its 4K support to create 8-megapixel photos from single
frames in video.

Web-Surfing Adults More Infection-Prone Than Teens
American teens spend a lot more time online than older Web surfers, yet
it doesn't seem to increase their vulnerability to malicious activity.
Teens last year spent a little more than four hours a day on the Net,
while adults in the 50-to-64 age bracket burned two hours, 41 minutes
online daily, MarketingCharts found. Those numbers piqued the interest
of Enigma Software.

PredictionIO's Simon Chan on Machine Learning by Devs for Devs
PredictionIO is building the MySQL of prediction. The young company
recently released version 0.7.3 of its open source machine-learning
server. Unlike typical prediction algorithms and open source libraries,
PredictionIO is based on making machine learning more available.
Cofounder Simon Chan sees a gaping hole in open source tools to connect
database programmers and software developers.

XSS Flaw Burns a Hole in Kindle Security
Security consultant Benjamin Mussler last week warned that the Kindle e-
book library had a cross-site scripting vulnerability. It appears Amazon
previously had fixed the XSS flaw but two months ago reintroduced it in
a new version of the "Manage Your Kindle" Web application, according to
Mussler. People who download pirated e-books are at greatest risk, he
said.
