Today's Story Highlights

LG Lends Substance to G4 Rumors
LG on Thursday confirmed rumors about the basic look of its upcoming G4
flagship smartphone with a post on its Facebook page. Details about LG's
forthcoming G4 flagship smartphone recently were leaked on a Korean
microwebsite, generating considerable buzz on the Internet. Photos and
other information were published by a number of outlets before the
microsite disappeared.

Opening Windows Source Code Could Improve Security
Microsoft Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich raised a few eyebrows at
ChefCon earlier this month, when he aired the possibility of Windows
becoming an open source program. Sure, Microsoft's attitude toward the
open source movement has mellowed over the years, but the prospect of
the company rubbing elbows with the likes of Linux overloads the
imagination.

Guitar Hero Strikes Back
Rock Band 4's race to the top of the gaming charts this fall will be
rivaled by a new release from Activision. Returning with a music video
mode and first-person perspective, Guitar Hero Live offers a unique take
on the music game genre. It "lets people rock real crowds with real
reactions," said Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg. "Our goal was literally
to give people stagefright."

SuperX OS Greases the Classic Linux Wheel
SuperX OS is a solid Linux distribution that dispels all of the
criticisms about using free open source OSes. SuperX is a relatively new
distro developed by Libresoft. Based on Ubuntu and Debian, it adds a
highly customized KDE desktop environment. The maturity and impressive
performance of Grace, its latest release, makes the SuperX OS a prime
replacement choice for whatever distro you now use.

Conference will take place in San Francisco June 8-12. The event will
include more than 100 technical sessions on developing, deploying and
integrating the latest iOS and OS X technologies. Attendees will get
