Today's Story Highlights

Android L Will Keep Your Secrets Safer
Hard on the heels of increased security measures in Apple's newly
released iOS 8, Google this week confirmed that encryption will be
turned on by default in the next release of Android. Android has offered
encryption for more than three years, and keys are not stored off the
device, so they can't be shared with law enforcement, Google said. In
Android L, encryption will be enabled by default.

Apple Fills iOS 8 Security Basket to Brim
With data thefts and cybersnooping making headlines daily, security has
started to capture the attention of the disciples of the digital
lifestyle -- and if the latest version of iOS is any indication, it's
catching the attention of Apple, too. Along with nifty features like
Hand Off and Family Sharing, iOS 8 contains a number of significant
security and privacy enhancements.

Amazon Gets All Fired Up
Amazon on Wednesday introduced a slew of new Kindle Fire tablets and
Kindle e-readers. It also unveiled a new OS based on Android KitKat. The
top-of-the-line product is the company's Fire HDX 8.9, which sports a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, with each core running at
up to 2.5 GHz, and a GPU that's 75 percent faster than that of the
previous Fire HDX.

Opera Sings for Linux Users, With Just a Few Sour Notes
Opera offers an interesting alternative to the Google Chrome and Mozilla
Firefox Web browsers, but its recent Linux release leaves some room for
improvement. Opera previously enjoyed a reputation as the go-to browser
of choice for mobile environments. However, Opera Software, the
developer, ignored Linux users for quite a long while until now. Opera's
Version 12.16 is a very usable release.
