Today's Story Highlights

China's Cybersecurity Plans Draw US Fire
China should change its tune on new rules for purchases from American
high-tech companies if it wants to do business with the United States,
President Obama recently warned. China reportedly is planning to ask
U.S. high-tech firms to hand over their encryption keys and install
security backdoors in their systems to allow surveillance as a
counterterrorism measure.

The Great War's Untapped Video Game Opportunities
It's fair to say that game developers have missed an opportunity with
World War I. It was the first conflict to see aircraft used in combat,
the first to see tanks and other armored vehicles make an appearance on
the battlefield, and the first war in more than a century to completely
draw in the major powers of the world. WWI should be a setting ripe for
action and strategy games.

ChaletOS Is a Design Tweak in the Linux House
ChaletOS began as a personal project of developer Dejan Petrovic. This
operating system has a familiar Windows-like style, with appealing
simplicity and impressive speed. Much of that performance credit goes to
the use of the Xfce desktop. The system controls are tweaked to bring
unique style-changing capabilities to a classic Linux desktop
environment.

Nvidia's Shield Takes On Crysis With Confidence
Nvidia on Tuesday unveiled Shield, an Android TV console that in
addition to playing content locally, can stream video games, movies,
music, apps and more. Yes, it can play Crysis. That claim, a measure of
a gaming PC's power a few years ago, is how Nvidia is marketing the
Shield console. Nvidia's Shield Tablet led the way with its Tegra K1
processor and its ability to play Android ports of AAA games natively.

Gadgets: A Lovely Sky Snapper, a Grotesque Power Pack and Wafer-Thin Speakers
There's a new Nikon camera that actually won't work for parents eager to
flash their cash at a kid's birthday party with an expensive DSLR when a
camera phone would work just fine. The D810A has an infrared filter that
probably will result in distorted colors when used for everyday
purposes. So you might not want to use it for that cute shot of a
butterfly nestling on a poppy.
