Today's Story Highlights

New Jawbone Fitness Trackers Stretch High and Low
Jawbone has announced two new fitness trackers: the high-end Up3
wristband and the entry-level Up Move clip device. Using a multisensor
platform, the $179.99 Up3 captures detailed information about the
wearer's heart rate, sleep stages and physical activity over the course
of the day. It also connects with the Up App to deliver Smart Coach, an
intelligent system that tracks the user's progress.

Russian Cyberspies Caught With Mittens in Cyber Cookie Jar
Russian cyberspies -- unlike their Chinese counterparts -- have a
reputation for stealth, so it's unusual when two digital espionage
operations linked to the Kremlin come to light in a week. FireEye early
last week released a report detailing how hackers working for the
Russian government have been using sophisticated techniques over a
seven-year period to penetrate computer systems.

Kano: The Can-Do Coding Kit for Kids of All Ages
"So simple a child could do it" -- I have heard that expression abused
often in advertising. Yet it aptly applies to the Kano computer kit.
Kano is a computer and coding kit that is suitable for all ages. Well,
to be truthful, Kano's step-by-step instructions in the included
booklets and its simplified Linux-based operating system target kids
aged 6 to 14.

Scorecard Reveals 'Messaging App Security' Is an Oxymoron
The Electronic Frontier Foundation on Tuesday released its Secure
Messaging Scorecard, which rates messaging app security. Only six of
more than three dozen tools the organization audited met all seven
security requirements. They are ChatSecure, CryptoCat, Signal/Redphone,
Silent Phone, Silent Text and TextSecure. Apple's iMessage and FaceTime
were the best of the mass-market options.

Cortana Goes to Work for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Users
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a slew of new features and functionality
for Microsoft Dynamics CRM. One of the most striking is the addition of
Cortana, Microsoft's intelligent personal assistant. The company also
added the ability to create predefined and configurable processes using
branching logic, near real-time calculations and roll-ups for business
information, and client API enhancements.
