Today's Story Highlights

Aether Scoops Your Music Taste Into a Cone
Maxwell Smart had his Cone of Silence, but silence was the furthest
thing from the minds of the Aether team that designed Cone. Cone is a
wireless speaker with a twist. It connects to a home WiFi network, but
it isn't a slave to another device, such as a music player, tablet or
computer. It uses machine learning to play what users want to hear
before they know it.

Russia Implicated in Ukrainian Cyberdisruptions
Security forces in Ukraine, where tensions are running exceedingly high
after weeks-worth of turmoil, have accused the Russian army of tampering
with its mobile communications. In addition, Ukrainian news websites and
social media have been smeared with pro-Russia propaganda. In other
words, an entirely new element appears to be in play: cyberconflict
between Kiev and Moscow.

Roku Sticks It to Google With Streaming Device
oku has announced a new HDMI dongle for televisions. The Streaming Stick
is a compact Roku player that plugs inconspicuously into an HDMI port,
offering a streamlined look that Roku suggests is suited to wall-mounted
TVs. It is paired with a remote control that can be used to navigate the
Roku interface. The device offers shortcuts to movies, TV series, news,
search and more.

Sobell Compiles Top-Notch Practical Linux Guide
Not everyone who dabbles in the realm of the Linux OS needs all the
enterprise-specific tutelage this guidebook offers. However, it
certainly has chapters to enlighten even casual readers interested in
learning really useful stuff. Sobell assembles in one spot his
accumulated experience as a Linux expert and his keen insights about
succeeding with two enterprise workhorse distributions.

Today's Story Highlights

Universe-Tromping Physicist Brian Cox Mulls Wonders of Life
There are three elements that bring a great nature documentary to life:
first, you need great video footage; second, you need to infuse the
content with a sense of time, scope, and wonder; and third, you need a
cool narrator. Brian Cox's Wonders of Life app delivers all three. I
stumbled upon the app after Apple highlighted it as an Editor's Choice.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80079.html

Beijing to Officials: Please, No Smartphones During Session
Officials partaking in China's National People's Congress, which began
Wednesday, have been asked to please not mess around on their mobile
devices during the session. A state-owned newspaper published a list of
rules for attendees, including this one: "Do not use your phones to send
text messages or make phone calls during meeting; do not use your
computer or phone to play games."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80087.html

Facebook Floats Idea of Buying Drone Maker
Facebook reportedly is in talks to buy drone maker Titan Aerospace to
bolster Internet.org, the project that aims to provide Internet
connectivity everywhere in the world. Facebook, which is one of the main
backers of Internet.org, may buy Titan for $60 million. Titan builds
near-orbital solar-powered drones that can fly for five years before
needing to land.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80080.html

Kickstarter Bags a Billion Bucks
Kickstarter announced it hit a new milestone Monday: It has surpassed $1
billion in pledges to crowdfund projects worldwide. In total, 5.7
million people have chipped in to fund Kickstarter campaigns, with about
1.6 million people backing more than one project. The pledges have come
from 224 countries and all seven continents. The U.S. led the way with
more than $663 million in pledges.

Today's Story Highlights

Now Drivers Can Engage Siri in Safe CarPlay
Apple on Monday unwrapped its CarPlay auto initiative at the Geneva
International Motor Show, less than a month after Google announced its
grand plans to bring Android into automobiles with its Open Automotive
Alliance. CarPlay will enable iPhone users to make calls, consult maps,
play music and receive messages either through the vehicle's native
interface or through voice commands.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80071.html

Galaxy S5 Could Win Over Mobile Payment Skeptics
Consumers love their smartphones, but a substantial number of them don't
love using them to pay for purchases. With Samsung's introduction of its
Galaxy S5 phone last week, the company is betting it can change some of
those consumers' minds on that subject. Like Apple's iPhone 5s, the S5
has a fingerprint scanner. Unlike the Apple product, though, the S5's
scanner can be used to pay for things.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80076.html

China Risks Another State-Run Search Engine Faceplant
The Chinese government is taking another stab at the domestic search
market with a new service called "ChinaSo." ChinaSo was formed by
merging two already-failed search engines: Jike, launched three years
ago by state-run newspaper/propaganda pusher The People's Daily ; and
Panguso, launched by fellow state-run media outlet Xinhua .
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80078.html

F-Secure's Hypponen: RSA Lost Trust
Less than two months after publicly announcing that he was pulling out
of the RSA Security Conference because RSA had accepted a $10 million
contract from the NSA, F-Secure chief researcher Mikko Hypponen appeared
somewhat mellowed. He alternated between criticizing RSA and offering an
olive branch when speaking to reporters last week in San Francisco,
where the conference was under way.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80074.html

When Friends Tell Friends to Use Linux
It's a natural human tendency to want to share a good thing with the
people you care about, and Linux is certainly no exception. It can be
downright painful, in fact, for FOSS fans to sit by and watch their
friends and loved ones suffer in the clutches of other OSes. Even so, is
it always a good idea to recommend Linux? One longtime Linux aficionado
and blogger isn't so sure.

Today's Story Highlights

Mobile's Year of Living Big, Strong and Superpowerfully
At last week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the major players
showed up loaded for bear. Wearable computers became more robust, we got
another Android fork, phones acquired superpowers, and it became clear
that big -- really big -- is going to be all around us. Oh, and if you
are into power and performance, this is the beginning of your era.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80061.html

College Student's Facebook Folly Could Cost $80K
A student at Boston College may have cost her family $80,000 -- and
herself a trip to Europe. The student, Dana Snay, posted a Facebook
status update boasting of her father's victory in an age discrimination
case. The father, 69, was the headmaster of a school for years, but his
contract was not renewed in 2010. This prompted a lawsuit, which was
settled for $80,000 in late 2011.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80072.html

Moov Brings Smarts to Fitness Tech
There is a new wearable fitness device on the horizon that may take this
emerging technology niche to an entirely new level. Moov, developed by
former tech specialists from Apple and Microsoft, promises not only to
capture data about users' activities, but also to give them performance-
improvement tips. A crowdfunding campaign launched Thursday seeks to
raise $40,000 for a July release.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/80066.html

Wiliest Ways to Keep the NSA at Bay
The death of online privacy had already been proclaimed long before
Edward Snowden landed in the international spotlight, but if it wasn't
confirmed back then, Snowden's NSA revelations surely must have
extinguished the last vestiges of hope in even the most die-hard
optimists. "We're in a predicament," said Phil Zimmermann, Pretty Good
Privacy creator and cofounder and president of Silent Circle.
