Today's Story Highlights

RIM Meets Indian Gov't in the Middle on User Surveillance
RIM has agreed to let Indian officials conduct lawful surveillance of
customers using its BlackBerry services. The decision is yet another
step in RIM's long, drawn-out battle with New Delhi over the latter's
demands to monitor users of BlackBerry services in India.

Google+ Starts Breathing Down LinkedIn's Neck
With a slew of new features and integration with Google Apps, Google+ is
now available to businesses, universities, and schools that use Google
Apps. The point behind the upgrades is to continue to drive traffic to
the fledgling network and fight the feature wars with other social
networks, said Gabe Donnini, lead analyst at Chitika.

What HTML5 Hath Wrought
"Build once, run everywhere" has been the goal of many platforms,
although most recently the motto was used for Java. It has rarely been
completely true. In Java's case, "build once, test everywhere" was
closer to the mark. A true universal platform offers many financial
benefits.

Hacking the Google TV Box Without Rooting It
I've long held the opinion that the most effective way to get Internet-
based content onto a TV is to simply hook a laptop up to the flat screen
with an HDMI cable. The laptop acts as an oversized remote control. You
get a full Flash-based Web browser, hard drive and keyboard on your TV.

New Apple Patent Could Put Android in a Headlock
It's a simple idea: When an unlock slider appears on the screen, swipe
your finger to the right to unlock your device. But a newly acquired
patent could make things very difficult for developers working in
platforms, such as Android, that compete with Apple devices, like the
iPhone, iPod and iPad.
