Today's Story Highlights

US, Brit Spooks Bedevil Security Software
The United States' National Security Agency and the UK's Government
Communications Headquarters reportedly have been attacking antivirus and
other security software since at least 2008. The aim is to infiltrate
networks and track users. The agencies apparently have reverse-
engineered security and antivirus software, sometimes under dubious
legal authority.

Amazon Holds Coming-Out Party for Echo's Alexa
About seven months of invitation-only exclusivity for Prime customers
came to a close on Tuesday as Amazon opened up sales of Echo, its
digital assistant hardware, to anyone willing to spend $180 for it.
Amazon will start fulfilling new Echo orders on July 14, but shoppers
can prepurchase the cylindrical tower now. The device is animated by
Alexa, Amazon's digital assistant software.

Sony Meets Microsoft in Game Console Muscle Match
Beefed up and slimmed down, the new 1TB PlayStation 4 Ultimate Player
Edition is scheduled to arrive in Japan before this month concludes and
then launch in the UK in the middle of July, Sony announced on Sunday.
The revised console, bearing twice the storage capacity of its
predecessor, will arrive in the U.S. somewhere inside of the two weeks
that follow its July 15 launch in the UK.
