Today's Story Highlights

EFF Spearheads Safer Web Initiative
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced a nonprofit
organization that will aim to secure the entire Web. Let's Encrypt,
starting in summer 2015, will offer free server certificates to help
websites transition from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS protocol. EFF is
partnering with Akamai, Mozilla, Cisco, iDenTrust and University of
Michigan researchers.

A View of the Future: Demo 2014
I attended Demo in Silicon Valley last week and, as always, it showcased
things likely to mature in the market 12 to 14 months into the future.
The presenters are small companies, hand-selected because they offer
something unique and forward-looking. This year there was a showcase of
products that could redefine home automation, drones, emergency rooms,
and even how you buy clothing.

Gadget Ogling: Dueling Tablets, a Smart Scale, and Slooow Games
Welcome to our weekly look at the latest, greatest, and poorest gadgets
to be revealed to the world. Hark as yours truly extols the virtues and
horrors of two wildly different tablets, a smart kitchen scale, and
video games requiring patience, among other objects. It's not like the
planet needs another well-known consumer gadget maker whipping up
Android tablets, and yet here we are.

Another Bleak Black Friday for Apple Fans
Apple is a company that bucks trends, that does things its own way, that
manages its business through highly tuned cycles. One thing Apple barely
does at all, though, is offer any sort of special deal or sale price.
Not even on Black Friday. Or Cyber Monday. Or just because. Heck, when
Apple celebrated 25 billion App Store downloads, it gave one person a
$10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
