Today's Story Highlights

Gogo to Bring In-Flight Internet Up to Speed
Gogo plans to roll out faster and more reliable in-flight Internet
access to passengers, allowing them to stream digital entertainment
while cruising miles above Earth. The new Ground to Orbit service will
use satellites for reception and Gogo's ground-based cellular network
for the return link. The end result will be a more robust and reliable
network that will reach peak speeds of 60 Mbps.

Reinventing Play With Augmented Reality Toys
Augmented reality and other interactive technologies are changing what
it means to play, read and interact. "For decades we have aspired to the
holodeck as featured in Star Trek, whereby we can fully immerse
ourselves in simulated surroundings," said toy consultant Steven Reece.
This new breed of toys offers a kind of magic that kids -- and adults --
crave.

Huawei Blasts US for Illegal NSA Spying
Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei is taking a PR victory lap
following reports suggesting that the National Security Agency spied on
the company. Earlier this week, Brazilian TV network Globo revealed a
raft of documents that purportedly came from Edward Snowden. The files
implicate the NSA, along with its British snooping ally, GCHQ, in spying
on numerous targets.

PanicGuard: Nice Idea but Not Ready for Prime Time
Here's an app that should bring peace of mind to any late-night solo
worker, exerciser or neighborhood watch patroller. It's an ingenious
combination of personal alarm, tracker and alert creator that uses
sensor and other components included in the average smartphone, such as
the speaker, to sound an alarm. The GPS and other location services are
used for tracking.

Cortana: Windows Phone's Answer to Siri?
For players of Microsoft's Halo video game series, the computer AI
character known as "Cortana" can do much more than just provide
directions and plot advances in the game. Soon, however, Cortana could
become part of Windows Phone users' real lives as well. Specifically,
rumor has it that a Cortana app is in the works and could arrive on
Windows Phone early next year.
