Today's Story Highlights

Clever Home Connections, Bizarre Smartphones and Flexible 3D Printing
Echo, Amazon's newest attempt at a smart personal assistant, is set to
take pride of place in your home. The black tower is voice-activated and
can play music, as well as provide information and news updates. It's
from Amazon, so it also can update your shopping list. It's always on,
so it's continually listening to you, wherever you are in a room. That's
just more than a little unsettling.

Microsoft Widens Skype World
Skype on Friday announced Skype for Web, a new version of its VoIP
service that can be used in a browser rather than through the dedicated
application. To use Skype for Web, users simply sign in on Skype.com to
start instant messaging directly from their browser. Voice or video
calls will require a small plug-in. The service works with Internet
Explorer, Chrome on Windows, Firefox and Safari.

CAINE Provides Sturdy Support for Forensic Specialists
CAINE, a professional-grade digital forensic Linux distro, uses an old-
school desktop environment hardened with top-notch specialty tools.
CAINE provides tight security and built-in digital investigation tools.
It is less inviting for non-forensic specialists to use as an everyday
Linux desktop, but it could serve the purpose for users who are willing
to handle several interface inconveniences.

Nexus 6, the Star Destroyer of Phablets, Goes on Sale
Google's Nexus 6 phablet on Friday became available for sale at Sprint
stores, as well as on its website and through other Sprint sales
channels. Priced at $696 with a plan, qualified buyers can purchase the
Nexus 6 with no down payment, and 24 monthly payments of $29. The other
three major U.S. carriers have announced plans to carry the Nexus 6 as
well, but Sprint is first out of the gate.
