Today's Story Highlights

Pentagon Rattles Its Cyber-Saber
The United States Department of Defense unveiled its long-awaited
cyberstrategy Friday. Speaking at the National Defense University,
Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn outlined the DoD's Strategy for
Operating in Cyberspace. This consists of five strategic approaches and
is part of the U.S. Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative,
unveiled by the White House in June.

Google Is Like a 'Mental Prosthetic'
The way search engines like Google make it almost effortless to find the
answers to any question with a few taps of the fingertips could be
changing the way our memory works, according to a recent study. The
report suggests that the brain is much less likely to recall information
when it knows it can find the information quickly online.

Your Voice Mail: Hugely Hackable
Mounting public anger over the News of the World newspaper's alleged
practice of hacking into voice mail boxes of people targeted as subjects
for stories has led to the arrests of eight people by the British
police. Alleged victims of their hacking in the UK included the royal
family, former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and a teen-aged girl
who was kidnapped, raped and murdered.

Google's Java Jam
Sometimes things that are supposedly free for the taking -- such as open
source software -- can ultimately cost a wad of dough from the corporate
coffers. That could well be the lesson Google learns from a lawsuit
Oracle filed last year alleging that Google violated its intellectual
property as well as infringed on its copyright for using a variation of
Java.

Netflix's Rate Hike Gives iTunes a New Glow
I can't imagine that many Netflix fans were pleased to open an email
announcement from the company recently stating it's splitting its
streaming and DVDs-by-mail plan into two plans, effectively jacking up
the rates. In my case, come September, my current $9.99 per month deal
will leap to $15.98. When I read the email, I looked around, and yes, it
turns out that my budget is the same at my house as it was six months
ago.
