 Good morning! Welcome to the work week! It's going to be clear and sunny today in New York. Let's look at the tech news you need to know: - Apple might name the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 the iPhone 6L. It's based on an unsubstantiated rumor from an Asian Apple site, so treat it skeptically, but the name makes some sense.
- Amazon is taking a less data-driven approach to its new original TV shows. It is trying to get proven talent to tell good stories.
- Activist shareholder Eric Jackson is back with another scathing assault on Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. This time, he points out that she's sold ~$12 million in shares over the first six months of the year while doing little to fix the dying core business of Yahoo.
- A leaked listing from Best Buy says the Moto 360 smart watch will cost $250.
- Google has a team working on 11 advanced mobile technology products. It's led by the former head of DARPA, Regina Dugan.
- Twitter is testing inserting favorited tweets randomly in people's timeline and some people on Twitter are not happy about it.
- Here's an electric car company that's not challenging Tesla, but instead is making one awesome car. Renovo Motors makes an electrified Shelby Dayton CSX9000, a classic racing car, and it looks gorgeous.
- Samsung paid $200 million for SmartThings, a startup that's making homes internet-connected.
