• Windows 8 Tells Microsoft About Everything You Install, Not Very Securely Security researcher Nadim Kobeissi claims that Microsoft's new SmartScreen technology in Windows 8, which sends data to Microsoft on every app you install to prevent users from downloading malicious software, is a privacy breach since Microsoft can technically see things that you're downloading. Microsoft has responded to this issue and said that it's "unlikely" that Microsoft will track what you download. [Nadim Kobeissi]
• Amazon Announces Expanded Prime Instant Video Agreement with NBCUniversal Cable & New Media Distribution Amazon has partnered up with NBCUniversal to bring a slew of NBC content to the popular video streaming service.
