Today's Story Highlights

2014's Top Google Play Picks: Fitness, Netflix, Frozen and More
Health and fitness was the fastest-growing category of apps on Google
Play this year, according to a report Google published on Thursday.
MyFitnessPal was the most-downloaded app within that category, while
Duolingo led the education category. Facebook was top among social apps
named in the report, which listed the most popular apps, games, movies,
music, news and books in 2014 on Google Play.

No Respite for Sony
Since the hacker group calling itself "Guardians of Peace" announced its
attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment late last month, things have gone
downhill for the company. After confidential documents were leaked to
the Internet over several days, a denouement of sorts was reached last
week, when a security company examining the stolen data discovered
nearly 50,000 Social Security numbers.

4MLinux Is So Lightweight It's Anemic
4MLinux is a unique mini Linux distribution that tries to be what it is
not. Its limited-purpose design is too basic for even lightweight distro
functions. Much of any benefit users might derive from 4MLinux mimics
what already is available from USB-launched pocket Linux distros such as
Puppy Linux, Porteus and Knoppix. However, much of their advanced
functionality is missing from 4MLinux.
