Today's Story Highlights

Phone Companion App Lets Cortana Get Around
Microsoft advanced its "if you can't beat'em, join'em" mobile strategy
with Tuesday's announcement of Phone Companion, an app built into
Windows 10 that's designed to synchronize information across multiple
platforms, including Android and iOS. Windows 10 Phone Companion works
like a hub on a PC for a user's mobile devices, allowing apps like
Cortana to work across multiple platforms.

Hush! Everybody's Listening!
Americans have been spied on by their own government for far longer than
most realized, it turns out, and the United States National Security
Agency's surveillance activities are just the tip of the iceberg. The
FBI, which repeatedly has expressed dismay at Google and Apple securing
their mobile OSes reportedly has become a major player in administering
the NSA's warrantless surveillance program.

Gadgets: A Mighty Little Amp, a Credit Card-Sized Phone and a Food Tray Keyboard
Tinny, terrible laptop speakers may be a relic of the past, but there
are still occasions when the built-in audio from your portable
computer's speakers or audio jack just doesn't quite cut it. Let's say
you're an electronic music luminary traveling the world without the
comforts of one's home studio but with an album deadline to meet. You
need to hear what's going on. So here's the Apogee Groove.

Is Home Where HomeKit's Heart Is?
Since Apple SVP Craig Federighi announced HomeKit at last year's
Worldwide Developers Conference, the company has been working on making
it ready for prime time. Now, a year later, Apple finally may have an
app to go with its framework for integrating home management and
monitoring devices with iOS. Whether Apple will announce the new app,
called "Home," at this year's WWDC is unknown.
