Today's Story Highlights

IBM Cooks Up Super-Thin Graphene Chips
IBM researchers have demonstrated a graphene circuit which integrates
all circuit components onto a single wafer made of silicon carbide.
Graphene is a mesh of carbon atoms that's one atom thick. Integrating it
monolithically -- meaning in one unit -- with other materials is a
problem researchers have been grappling with since 2004, when the
material's properties were first demonstrated.

Has the Time Come for an Android Market Drug Test?
Android apps are becoming more popular as the Android operating system
gains ground in the mobile market. IDC expects Android to take more than
40 percent of the worldwide smartphone market in the second half of
2011. However, with Android's growing popularity comes a growing risk of
malware attacks.

When Will Facebook Quit Shooting Itself in the Foot?
This week, Facebook users were discovering a new facial recognition
feature on their network. This feature, which makes it easier to tag
photos through facial recognition tech, will probably be a welcome
upgrade for many. But others may see it another social-media-related
invasion of privacy.

Hypervisor Fight Is Good for Customers, Good for FOSS
There have been many changes in the market and technology since Citrix
acquired XenSource and a major stewardship stake in the Xen open source
hypervisor four years ago. Red Hat's 2008 Qumranet acquisition and
subsequent push behind the Linux-integrated Kernel-based Virtual Machine
hypervisor has added to the disruption.

IPv6 Passes World Test With Flying Colors
For 24 hours on Wednesday, 400-plus Internet companies including Google,
Facebook and Microsoft teamed up for a large-scale production test of
the next-gen Internet protocol, IPv6. Organized by the Internet Society
to raise awareness of the need for a global transition to the new
Internet protocol, the test enabled participants to gather data about
possible glitches.
