Today's Story Highlights

Google Gives WebView the Cold Shoulder
Google has decided not to fix vulnerabilities in WebView for Android 4.3
and older, sparking heated discussions among developers. Those versions
of WebView run on the WebKit browser. Fixing them "required changes to
significant portions of the code and was no longer practical to do so
safely," explained Adrian Ludwig, lead engineer for Android security.

SpaceX Video Stirs Excitement for Falcon Heavy
SpaceX on Thursday released a computer-generated animation demonstrating
how the three Falcon 9 cores of its Falcon Heavy rocket, scheduled for
launch later this year, would return to Earth. The boosters would land
vertically at a selected site. The Falcon Heavy will be the most
powerful rocket in the world, being able to lift more than 53 metric
tons, or 117,000 pounds, into low earth orbit.

Canada Levitates Data from File-Sharing Sites
Canada's spy agency, the Communications Security Establishment, has been
eavesdropping on 102 free file upload sites, including Sendspace,
Rapidshare and Megaupload, which has been shut down. A CSE program
called "Levitation" lets analysts access information on 10-15 million
uploads and downloads of files from such sites daily, according to
documents released by whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
