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 Heads for the Hills, Anon Hacks On
The hacker group LulzSec has apparently decided to shut down operations
and sail off into the sunset. Fellow hacker community Anonymous, with
which LulzSec has teamed up, may take up where LulzSec left off. "We can
confirm that all @LulzSec members have reported aboard," Anonymous
tweeted.

New-Fangled Computer Chips Could Mimic Brain Synapses
A recently published University of Exeter paper brings the possibility
of achieving brain-like computing one step closer. The paper, published
in Advanced Materials, states the result of a study that demonstrated
for the first time the ability to simultaneously perform information and
storage tasks using phase-change materials.

AMD, Google, Oracle, Harry Potter and Robopocalypse
OK, last week was a really interesting week. We had AMD basically
divorcing itself from Intel's model after living under Intel's shadow
from inception; we had Google repeating yet another of Microsoft's
greatest mistakes; we had IBM repeat a famous political debate by
basically saying Oracle wasn't an enterprise vendor anymore; and we had
Harry Potter's author begin to kill off publishers and book stores.

Wild Berries App: A Field Guide to the Delicious and the Deadly
When I was a kid, I spent quite a bit of time rambling around the local
woods in the Pacific Northwest, and if you spend much time outdoors,
you're bound to stumble upon wild berries. Some of the berries you'll
find are bright, shiny, and altogether appealing ... but also
potentially poisonous.

The WebGL Battle in the Great Browser Wars
Even on the sunniest, most peaceful days here in the Linux blogosphere,
it's a pretty safe bet that the Great Browser Wars are still being waged
somewhere, whether or not we can actually overhear the particular
skirmish of the moment. Last week, however, the din of the battle roared
loud enough for all to hear as Microsoft and Mozilla come to blows.
