A Standard Is Born (29:23 minutes)
Open Automated Compliance Expert Markup Language is built to automate
security and save costs. "If you think about PCI DSS, it defines pretty
tightly what your cardholder data environment consists of," said The
Open Group's Jim Hietala. "In terms of O-ACEML, it could be networking
devices, servers, storage equipment, or any sort of IT device."

Today's Story Highlights

FCC to Scrutinize BART's Cellphone Block
The U.S. Federal Communications Communication reportedly intends to
investigate the Bay Area Rapid Transit system over the San Francisco-
area public transportation system's recent shutdown of cellphone service
at four stations in the face of a public protest. BART cut cellphone
services for several hours on Aug. 11 when a public demonstration began
moving from station to station.

Reining In Mobile Security Mayhem
Two papers on mobile security were presented at the 20th USENIX Security
Symposium, held in San Francisco recently. Both touch on mobile
security, a topic that's become increasingly hot lately as security
vendors warn that this may well be the year of the mobile hack. Other
security issues include the launching of security products and updates
in the mobile and wireline areas, as well as Patch Tuesday.

Will Google Build an Uber Android?
The initial response to Google's surprise announcement on Monday that it
had inked a deal to acquire Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion was
that it was a move largely to protect itself from the increasing patent
attacks against Android. That could be why all five major manufacturers
of Android devices appear to be thrilled with the deal. Should they be?

Kindle Cloud Reader Takes Web Apps to New Heights
It's been a really long time since I've used a Web app on iOS. Before
the App Store was launched, that used to be the only way to use anything
resembling third-party software on an iPhone. In Year 1, nobody but
Apple could develop directly for iOS, so the best anyone could do was
build a site that fit nicely on a 3.5-inch screen.

The Patent World War
Even though Google lawyer David Drummond laid into Apple, Microsoft and
Oracle in his public critique of their anti-Android patent lawsuits, it
was Microsoft that really ended up tussling with the search giant on
open ground. But that doesn't mean Apple and Oracle are easing up their
own patent battles; so far, they're just saving their arguments for the
courtroom.
