Podcast
Trusting the Chain (30:36 minutes)
Security is in many ways a shared, communal effort. When you're a
company that's dependent on a variety of other technology suppliers and
providers, how can you be assured that the other participants are
adhering to best practices and taking the proper precautions? An
accreditation approach may be the way to go.

Today's Story Highlights

Scientists Pop Atoms in Microwave, Out Comes Quantum Entanglement
Researchers at the National Institute of Science and Technology have
used microwaves to entangle ions in yet another step toward developing
quantum computers. Quantum entanglement is a feature of quantum physics
in which two atoms are linked together in such a way that in order to
describe the properties of one, you must describe the properties of the
other.

Social Menaces
In terms of online communication, social media is the biggest trend in
recent years. There are billions of participants around the globe as
well as an array of forms: blogs, forums, wikis, multimedia content,
social bookmarking and, of course, popular platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter and Google+. What's more, social media is strongly established
as an important channel for companies to communicate with their
customers.

A Visit from the Ghost of Linux Future
Industry pundits may typically favor the start of a new year for making
long-term predictions, but here in the Linux blogosphere -- where the
dog days of summer have us effectively trapped in a small set of heavily
air-conditioned bars and saloons -- we like August. When else, after
all, are the hours so plentiful or the tempers so hot?

Kindle Cloud Reader Rains on Apple's In-App Fee Parade
Amazon unveiled a new HTML5 Kindle Web app on Wednesday. Kindle Cloud
Reader, which is already up and running, provides access to books
offline and online via a Web browser with no download or installation
needed. Without leaving the app, customers can start shopping in the
Kindle store, giving Amazon a way to circumvent Apple's stiff commission
policy for in-app purchases.

The Rise of We-Commerce
It just makes sense that consumers tend to trust the opinions and
recommendations of friends before they trust those of advertisers,
promoters and retailers. Social shopping sites, which combine features
of social networking with online sales, seek to capitalize on the
sharing and trust that exist between friends.
