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

All Things Appy: Top 5 Free Video Streaming Tools for Firefox
Despite the convenience of mobile devices, the desktop browser can offer
the most satisfying video experience. This is partly due to the copious
screen real-estate and processor power. In addition, however, Firefox
has a long history of solid video-related add-ons including search,
downloaders, replayers and bookmarking apps. Today we take a look at the
top five free video streaming tools for Firefox.

Ember for Mac May Fire Your Imagination
If you're the kind of person who finds visual inspiration on the Web,
where photos and layouts and color schemes feed your soul and generate
sparks of ideas, you may warm to Realmac Software's Ember for Mac, a
digital scrapbook now available in the Mac App Store for $49.99. Ember
lets you generate and store images from websites and then lets you
organize and categorize them into collections.

With Porteus in Your Pocket, You're Good to Go
Don't think that a live version of a Linux desktop with the ability to
save configuration changes is better than an operating system fully
installed to a hard drive? Think again. Its persistent memory feature,
unlike regular live distro sessions, lets you carry a complete Linux
desktop with all of your files and special application settings in your
pocket to run on any computer.

Boeing Shows Off Space Taxi's Sleek Interior
Boeing unveiled the interior of its Crew Space Transportation-100
commercial spacecraft Monday, giving the public a first look inside the
craft and offering two NASA astronauts the chance to climb inside and
test it. The company designed the CST-100 to be a safe, reliable and
cost-effective way to send astronauts to Low Earth Orbit destinations,
including the International Space Station.

Nokia's Lumia 625 Does Being Bigger Well
Nokia has unveiled the Lumia 625, its latest Windows Phone 8 device and
the one with the largest screen so far, 4.7 inches. There isn't much
else to distinguish it from other models in the Lumia lineup, though,
and its 1.2 GHz processor appears weak beside some high-end smartphones.
However, "the jury's still out on whether consumers will notice the
difference," said tech analyst Ramon Llamas.
