Today's Story Highlights

Will Apple's Next iPhone Capture DSLR Quality With 2 Lenses?
The Apple rumor mill never stops spinning, and even though the iPhone 6
is barely here and the next version ages away, the most interesting
rumor is the chance that the next iPhone will make a huge leap forward
with its camera -- possibly using two lenses to produce DSLR-quality
images. The rumor comes from John Gruber of Daring Fireball via an
episode of The Talk Show podcast.

WhatsApp Battens Down the Hatches
WhatsApp has added end-to-end encryption and enabled it by default in
the latest version of its Android messaging application, partner Open
Whisper Systems announced Tuesday. The new feature taps Open Whisper's
open source TextSecure encryption protocol to ensure that only a
conversation's participants can read the messages they exchange.
WhatsApp itself won't be able to decrypt the messages.

Jolla's Open Source Tablet Gets Crazy Crowd Love
Jolla, the company set up by former Nokia executives to keep the Meego
operating system alive, raised more than $841,000 on Wednesday, the
first day of its Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. That's 221 percent of
its goal of $380,000 -- and the campaign has 21 days to go, closing Dec.
Nearly 5,325 people have contributed to the campaign, although only
about 3,800 actually purchased the tablets.

Google Glass May Be Saved by Obscurity
Whatever happened to Google Glass? In the early days, people got punched
in bars, bounced from movie theaters, and pulled over in cars for
wearing them, and some establishments outright banned "glassholes" from
their premises. Google claimed the white "Cotton" beta model sold out
when it held a one-day sale of Google Glass Explorer for United States
residents at $1,500 a pop in April.

China Suspected in Attacks on USPS, NOAA
The U.S. Postal Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration last week confirmed that their computer systems were
targeted in months-long cyberattacks that appear to have originated in
China. The attack on USPS compromised information of an estimated
800,000 employees. Data at risk includes names, date of birth, Social
Security numbers, addresses and dates of employment.
