Podcast
The Fruits of Steve Jobs' Quest for Perfection (11:14 minutes)
In this episode: The technology world loses a visionary and innovator
with the passing of Steve Jobs; Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff does his
keynote his way after Oracle reschedules his OpenWorld speech at the
last minute, signaling a growing rift between the companies; rumors
arise once again that buyers, including Microsoft, are back to circle
Yahoo; Apple reveals its next smartphone, the iPhone 4S, which receives
a lukewarm reception despite new features like a better camera and the
Siri voice-activated service.

Today's Story Highlights

Teens Grapple With Cyberethics in the Digital Age
Adolescents growing up in a digital, highly mobile world are
increasingly coming to grips with questions of ethics and behavior, with
mixed results. On the one hand, cyberpranking and cyberharrassment have
increased. On the other, more kids are willing to intervene when they
see cyberharrassment.

Opening the Door to Innovation
The link between open innovation and open source has long been
documented. That there is a significant correlation is obvious and not
arguable, but to what extent is there causation? And in what direction?
Open innovation describes a process, whereas open source has
traditionally described a product or end result. The ultimate
determination of whether a software project qualifies as open source is
its license.

Steve Jobs' Clear-Eyed View of the Future
Though Steve Jobs has passed away, we'll see for years to come his
influence on the many things he touched during his lifetime, from the
company he cofounded to the industry his ideas dominated. "You're going
to have devices 20, 30 years from now that still bear the influence of
the seminal vision that he had," Laura DiDio, principal analyst with
ITIC, told MacNewsWorld.

Electron Road Work May Speed Quantum Computing Development
A team of physicists at Rice University have created an "electron
superhighway" that could one day be useful for building a quantum
computer -- a machine that would utilize quantum particles instead of
the digital transistors in today's microchips. Rui-Rui Du, a professor
of physics and astronomy, and graduate student Ivan Knez describe the
new method for making the device in a recent paper.

Xbox Gets Set-Toppy With Cable Deal
Verizon and Microsoft are teaming up to bring new FiOS TV-powered
entertainment offerings to the Xbox 360 gaming console, a move that
highlights the rapid expansion of diverse content across multiple
platforms. The deal will use Verizon's FiOS TV application to allow Xbox
Live Gold members to watch live TV from participating partners through
their video game consoles.
