Podcast
How the US-French Connection Became a Digital Divide (20:11)
Earlier this week, reports surfaced that the United States had thwarted
France's plans to propose new international tax regulations targeting
digital companies like Google and Amazon. Indeed, this is not the first
time U.S. tech companies have rubbed France the wrong way. This podcast
examines France's philosophy toward tech giants and discusses whether or
not France's annoyance with U.S. tech companies has anything to do with
the fact that they are, well, from the U.S.

Today's Story Highlights

Huawei Named Chinese Spy by Ex-CIA Head
There is hard evidence that Chinese Huawei Technologies has spied for
the Chinese government, former U.S. CIA and NSA head Michael Hayden
asserted in a recent interview. The company -- now the world's largest
telecommunications equipment maker -- poses an unambiguous national
security threat to both Australia and the United States, Hayden said.

It Will Take a Village to Raise Ubuntu's Edge
Canonical on Monday announced a $32 million campaign to crowdfund the
creation of Ubuntu Edge, a brand-new smartphone that dual-boots Ubuntu
phone OS and Android. Launched on Indiegogo, the month-long campaign
focuses on funding a limited production run of 40,000 devices. Backers
committing $600 by Tuesday morning or $830 thereafter will receive one
an Ubuntu Edge device in May 2014.

Zenmonics Lets Bankers Serve Customers on the Move
Zenmonics has announced mobileBanker, a tablet solution that lets bank
staff interact with customers on the move. Among its benefits: customer
identification and authentication; the ability to serve customers
outside the teller line; paperless processing; and more personal
service. MobileBanker is built on Zenmonics' highly secure mobileUnited
middleware platform.

Who's Who in the Tablet Market Melee
Nearly three years have passed since Apple first introduced its iPad,
and the company still enjoys the largest market share in this space.
This statement may seem a natural conclusion because Apple almost
single-handedly reinvigorated this product category; however, creating a
market does not guarantee a sustained monopolistic hold. This nascent
market got crowded very quickly.

Netflix Plays Its Cards Right
Netflix joined the ranks of Emmy nominees for the first time Thursday,
scoring 14 nods for three of its online TV shows. The streaming service
picked up nine nominations for House of Cards, its original political
thriller series, three for its reboot of the popular comedy Arrested
Development, and a final two for its original horror thriller Hemlock
Grove.
