Podcast
The Hackers Parade Marches On (17:50 minutes)
In this episode: The hacker group LulzSec pwns on, declaring war on
governments and laughing off the arrest of one of its alleged
associates; Nokia releases its first -- and quite possibly last -- phone
on the MeeGo platform while simultaneously showing the world what's in
store for its first WinPho 7 handset; Wall Street smacks Research In
Motion after a disappointing quarterly report; quibbling Hulu owners
reportedly mull the sale of the online TV venture; ICANN opts to allow
website owners to use unique top-level domains -- for a hefty price.

Today's Story Highlights
LulzSec's Latest Lark Targets Ariz. Cops
Hacker community LulzSec has revealed it's broken into the Arizona law
enforcement agency's servers and released hundreds of sensitive
documents on the Internet. "We are targeting AZDPS specifically because
we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police
state that is Arizona," LulzSec stated.

Mozilla and Firefox 5: Upgrade or Die!
Mozilla released Firefox 5 earlier this week, just three months after
rolling out Firefox 4 and a month after it released version 5 in beta.
Version 5 has "more than 1,000 improvements," which include the "Do Not
Track" privacy feature and support for the CSS Animations standard,
among other things.

GNOME 3 vs. Unity: A Schism in the Making?
The face of the Linux desktop is drastically evolving. While the Linux
communities struggle to bring more business and home users to the Linux
desktop, existing users face choices about adopting redesigned desktop
shells or finding suitable replacements. The fallout might well be the
start of a Great New Linux Schism.

Hulu Is Gussying Up for Suitors
One way or another, change is clearly coming for the online television
website Hulu. Either it will be acquired by Yahoo, or it will put itself
out on the market to be snapped up by another deep-pocketed company.
Yahoo apparently has made an unsolicited offer for the company,
according to news reports citing anonymous sources. However, this is no
hostile takeover brewing.

Apple's Touchscreen Patent: If You Want Blood, You Don't Got It
Apple was awarded a patent Wednesday relating to touchscreens. The
certification arrived more than three years after the company filed, and
it set off mild concern among other touchscreen makers. The patent, U.S.
No. 7966578, gives Apple control of "a computer-implemented method, for
use in conjunction with a portable multifunction device with a touch
screen display," according to the patent.
