Today's Story Highlights

GOP Caught With Fingers in the Twitter Jar
The Republican Party and at least two outside political-spending groups
reportedly used anonymous Twitter accounts to share internal polling
data in the months leading up to this year's midterm elections. One of
the accounts was named after the fictional West Wing character Bruno
Gianelli, who attempted to fund campaigns with possibly unethical cash.

US Marshals Have Their Own Cellphone Data Slurpfest
The United States Marshals Service reportedly is grabbing data from
thousands, if not millions, of Americans' cellphones using high-tech
devices deployed on five Cessnas. The aircraft operate out of at least
five metro-area airports and apparently can cover most of the U.S.
population. They are equipped with DRT boxes, popularly known as
"dirtboxes," made by a subsidiary of Boeing.

Toyota's Mirai Aims to Kick Fuel-Cell Tech Into High Gear
Toyota on Monday officially unveiled its fuel cell sedan in an Internet
video, in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show Nov. 21-30. The new
sedan, dubbed "Mirai" -- which means "future" in Japanese -- can travel
up to 300 miles on a single tank of hydrogen, refuel in less than five
minutes, and emit only water vapor. Toyota also will help establish 12
new hydrogen fueling stations in five states.

When Microsoft Went A-Courting
FOSS fans perhaps may be excused if they've felt a bit confused over the
past few days. Dizziness, headaches and vertigo also have been common.
What strange new ailment is this, you might ask? Well, it's no ailment
-- but that doesn't mean it's any simpler to remedy. The cause is none
other than the news that Microsoft is open sourcing .Net and also
expanding it to run on Linux and Mac OS.

Nvidia Launches a New Mobile Device Age
There was an announcement last week that I think is far bigger than
folks realize: Nvidia announced a free Netflix-like streaming gaming
service for its Shield products. I think this is a precursor to an event
that is similar to what cable did to TVs years ago, and that it will
change not only how we use these devices, but also what we use them for.
