Today's Story Highlights

Spam Still Packs a Punch
The days of in-boxes flooded with spam messages on an assortment of
sordid subjects are a faint memory to most email users, but what spam
has lost in volume it's gained in power. More than two-thirds of some
200 IT decision makers in companies with five to 1,000 employees said a
spam incident in the last year had severely disrupted their business
operations -- or halted them entirely.

August Smart Lock Gets Key Exposure in Apple Stores
The August Smart Lock will become available for purchase at Apple retail
stores in the U.S. starting this week, the company announced on Tuesday.
Priced at $249.99, the smart device uses Bluetooth and a mobile app to
create a virtual key. It has been shipping since late August in limited
quantities to those who ordered it online, but it currently is
backordered, with delivery expected in 90 days.

some running Windows and the others Android. Three are tablets -- the
Tablet 2 Pro and the Tablet 2 running Android, and the Tablet 2 running
Windows. The others are the Yoga 3 Pro and the Thinkpad Yoga 14 laptops.
The Tablet 2 comes in 8- and 10-inch models, running Android or Windows.

Samsung Plots Foray Into Speedy 60-GHz WiFi Market
Samsung on Sunday announced that it has resolved issues hindering the
commercialization of 802.11ad standard 60-GHz WiFi technology. The
company's solution maintains maximum speed by eliminating co-channel
interference regardless of the number of devices on the network, using
what it claims is the world's first method that allows multiple devices
to connect simultaneously to a network.

Apple Faithful Prepare to Not Be Dazzled
If you're looking for an extravaganza on the scale of last month's new
iPhone unveiling, chances are you won't find it at Apple's "Way Too
Long" event to be held Thursday at its Cupertino headquarters. "This
will be a very low-key event," said Gartner analyst Van L. Baker. The
consensus is that Apple will be refreshing its tablet and PC lines, and
releasing the prime-time version of OS X Yosemite.
