Today's Story Highlights

Lenovo's Android Laptop Will Bend Over Backwards
Manuals from Lenovo that were leaked onto the Internet indicate that the
company is working on a laptop running Android. Not only were two
manuals for the IdeaPad A10 discovered this week on the Web -- one dated
July and the other dated August -- but Lenovo has reportedly since
confirmed the upcoming product. Android will come preinstalled on the
device.

Russia Nabs 'Blackhole' Hacking Suspect
Police in Russia have arrested a man suspected of masterminding a pair
of famous hacking tools -- the Blackhole and Cool exploit kits,
favorites among cybercriminals looking to install malware. Russian
authorities have been mum on the situation, but security firms have
reported a decline in the programs' use. Also, Alexander Gostev of
Kaspersky Lab said anonymous sources confirmed the arrest.

All Things Appy: Top 5 Windows 8 Art Tools
The touchscreens prevalent on vast numbers of laptops awaiting your
hard-earned dollars in consumer electronics stores accommodate highly
suitable new tools for creating art. The tactile nature of the screen,
as opposed to the awkward mouse, makes sweeping strokes and other
gestures a lot easier. This week's All Things Appy takes a look at five
must-have, free Windows 8 art apps.

Brave Blustery Climes With WeatherPro in Tow
I recently took a look at MeteoEarth, a rather spectacular Google Earth-
like animated weather app. This visual, 3D globe-spinning weather app
for Android provides zoom-in weather visualizations of the kind seen on
TV -- and indeed, the publisher is a provider of weather-in-motion
graphics to broadcasters. Well, MeteoEarth's visually stimulating show-
off app has an all-rounder cousin, WeatherPro.

Google Maps Learns to Multitask
Google Maps has become the default source of directions for many users,
but one feature it has notoriously lacked is the ability to provide
directions to multiple destinations. On Wednesday, however, the company
announced that it is now rolling out the feature at last. "One of your
most requested features -- directions for multiple destinations -- will
begin rolling out today," said Google's Florian Goerisch.
