Today's Story Highlights

Dell's 10-Inch Streak Is Business Up Front, Party Out Back
Dell on Friday launched the Dell Streak 10 Pro tablet in China. This is
the company's first 10-inch tablet. It runs Android Honeycomb 3.1. The
device has work and personal modes, with a firewall of sorts between
them so there's no leakage of information between the two.

Time Travel a No Go? No Way
It appears that scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology proved recently that you can't travel faster than the speed
of light in a vacuum. That discovery, howled many popular publications,
means time travel is impossible. "Impossible," however, is a very
powerful word.

New Initiative Aims to Stamp Out Cloud Lock-In
Members of the cloud computing industry this week announced the Open
Cloud Initiative, a nonprofit organization to advocate open standards
in cloud computing, at the OSCON 2011 open source convention in
Portland, Ore. The organization maintains a set of Open Cloud
Principles, adherence to which will determine whether a given product or
service can indeed bear the open cloud label.

Security Wonks Urge iPhoners to Patch 'Em Up
The iOS vulnerability for which Apple issued a security patch on July 25
is very severe, according to security experts who are warning iOS device
users to apply that patch as soon as possible. The vulnerability lies in
a failure to validate SSL certificates correctly. That lets hackers use
a tool called "sslsniff" to take over victims' iOS devices by using fake
certificates.
