In related news, the White House maintains that Obama was unaware of the NSA's wiretaps on some 35 world leaders.

Meanwhile, at home, a new NSA reform bill to end bulk surveillance has been introduced, ironically enough, by one of the co-authors of the Patriot Act. Imagine a phone that could last forever, upgradable piece by piece like Legos. Well, that is the dream of Motorola's new Project Ara. The goal is to provide an open source initiative for modular smartphones. Motorola plans to create an ecosystem that can support third-party hardware for individual phone components. The company will be working with phone blogs and its community throughout the process to help realize the same idea with Motorola's technical expertise. Interested developers can sign up now to receive a dev kit due out sometime this winter. Finally, whether you like it or not, Entourage is back. Vince, Ari, E!, Drama, and Turtle are all returning for a big screen continuation of the hit HBO series. The film, which has been talked about since the series ended in 2011, will begin shooting early next year. No word yet on the plot, but my guess is Vince and his friends will go around Hollywood sleeping with models and struggling with the concept of fame. That's it, today's top stories, but coming up tomorrow, beans and seeds. One is the key to immortality, the other one might just kill you. Find out which is which.
