Today's Story Highlights

Google's Zeitgeist: Don't Dig Too Deep for Meaning
If Google's Zeitgeist 2011 -- the company's 11th annual list of the most
popular and fastest-rising Internet searches -- truly reflects the
spirit of the times, then we must be living in a world of whiffle heads.
The top search term was "Rebecca Black." The Web celeb was the No. 1
fastest-rising query globally.

Apple Gears Up to Create a Star TV
Apple is holding talks with media executives to discuss the future of
television, according to a recent report. It's also allegedly working on
providing wireless streaming capabilities, voice and motion controls,
and features that enable the sharing of content across multiple devices.

Timeline's Coming - Better Tidy Up
Facebook recently began rolling out its Timeline feature, which will
replace the social networking site's traditional user profile.
Everything ever posted on a user's page will be included in Timeline.
Members have seven days to review everything that appears on their
Timelines before anyone else can see them, and Facebook lets them mark
which items they want to keep private.

How Apple Promoted Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Other Weird Tales
Christmas is coming in a few days, and many of you are kicking back with
some eggnog for a well-deserved rest before the day arrives, and you are
looking forward to the annual family who-is-the-biggest-ass competition.
Yes, this is the time of year when relatives feel the need to overimbibe
and tell us how we should live our lives, and we, unfortunately, are
likely to do the same.

WebOS: Destined to Fail, or Fuel for FLOSS' Fire?
After such a tempestuous year as 2011 has been, it's hard to imagine a
more dramatic way for it to go out with a "bang" than with HP's recent
announcement about webOS. Yes, for those who missed it, HP finally ended
months of indecision by announcing that it plans to open-source the
Linux-based mobile operating system, thereby giving it a chance at a new
life in the hands of the community.

Outlook Web Email Has Its Points but Lacks Refinement
Many iPhone owners bought their iPhones for personal use, then realized
they wanted or needed to connect to their work-related email, which is
often based on the enterprise-focused Microsoft Exchange mail server.
The PC client application is usually Outlook, and many companies offer
their employees browser-based access via the Web.

Judge Invokes 1st Amendment, 'Twitter Stalker' Free to Tweet
A federal judge has dismissed a criminal case against a man accused of
using Twitter to conduct a threatening campaign against a religious
leader. William Lawrence Cassidy had been jailed for predicting that
violence would befall Alyce Zeoli, a Buddhist religious leader, and for
urging her to kill herself. The judge said that Cassidy was protected by
the First Amendment.
