Today's Story Highlights

Google+ Name Game: Who Are the Biggest Losers?
Google has begun cleaning up its recently launched Google+ service, and
in doing so, it's deleted some legitimate users' accounts. Those with
dumped accounts include a user calling himself "Dylan M," who has the
Twitter handle @thomasmonopoly, as well as Limor Fried, aka
"Ladyada."

Making Room for Android, Making Movies and Making Everything Secure
Occluded by the opposition and battered by poor financial results,
Research In Motion on Friday made announcements aimed at shoring up its
sagging fortunes. The mobile device maker announced it has received FIPS
140-2 certification from the United States National Institute of
Standards and Technology.

How Google Could Murder Your Digital Identity
I'm in the midst of doing the biggest tablet review I've ever attempted,
and I have to admit I'm rather impressed with a number of the Android
offerings. The funny thing is, the ones closest to the phone work the
best, suggesting there is a bit of a Windows XP/Vista event going on in
this space. While I was doing this, I was sent a link to a Google
customer who got royally screwed.

SAS Survival Guide: Want to Stay Alive on the Edge?
In the modern age, the closest many urbanite HDTV watchers come to
survival in the great outdoors is watching quasi-documentaries like
"Survivorman" or "Man vs. Wild." While I'm a fan of those shows, there's
so much entertainment mixed in that I'm not sure that I actually learn
all that much. Enter SAS Survival Guide, an app for the iPhone and iPod
touch.

Is Microsoft Linux's New BFF?
Those of us who have been around the block a few times here in the Linux
blogosphere have seen it many times before: With one hand, Microsoft
holds out a small olive branch to the Linux community, while with the
other it prepares a new patent attack, posts a "cautionary" FUD-filled
video, or perpetrates some other kind of anti-FOSS mischief.
