Today's Story Highlights

Sony Sortie's Smoking Gun Still Missing
Recent research from security firm Cloudmark has raised doubt about the
purported connection between North Korea and last November's intrusion
on Sony Pictures Entertainment's computer networks. The FBI last week
continued to press its case that North Korea was behind the cyberattack,
pointing to an exposed block of IP addresses allocated to North Korea.

The Convoluted Trail Linking North Korea to Sony
FBI Director James Comey has "very high confidence" that North Korea was
behind last November's cyberattack on Sony, he said last week at Fordham
University. New evidence of the link includes documentation of the
hackers' failure to cover their tracks with proxy servers on several
occasions, Comey said. Several times they got "sloppy" and exposed their
home IP addresses.

Loving Linux in a Touchscreen World
Well it was a fairly quiet week here in the Linux blogosphere, as much
of the mainstream tech world staggered directly out of their New Year's
revelries and into the halls of CES. Not that Linux didn't have a
presence at the gargantuan show, mind you. It was there, all right --
not just in phones but in TVs, smartwatches and cars, to name just a few
examples.

LG's WebOS: 3rd Time's the Charm?
LG Electronics turned up at last week's CES with a smartwatch that
apparently runs webOS. LG used the watch to unlock an Audi at the show.
"LG has never officially confirmed that we were planning a webOS
smartwatch," said company spokesperson Ken Hong. "I think that is
speculation based on the watch that Audi announced here at CES, which we
developed but have not finalized the OS for."

Google Translate to Convert Talk to Text
Google soon will update its Translate mobile app to render words spoken
in popular languages into written text, according to reports. This
feature is already available for some major languages in the Google
Chrome browser. In essence, the update will let two people converse in
their own native tongues by listening to both and automatically
translating their words.
