Podcast
The Sky-High Expectations Surrounding Mobile Networks (23:34 minutes)
Users today want to be able to access more services using more devices.
They want coordination across all the platforms they use, they want
security and privacy, and they want the full support of their IT
departments. It's all a very tall order, and networks will need to
adjust rapidly or the latency and hassle of access and performance
issues will get in the way of users, their new expectations, and their
behaviors.

Today's Story Highlights

Anonymous Implicated in 'Robin Hood' Hack on Christmas Day
Hackers claiming to belong to the Anonymous hacking community broke into
the servers of private think tank Stratfor over the holiday weekend.
They stole thousands of credit card numbers and other personal
information, and also claim to have stolen the company's list of
confidential clients. This includes organizations such as the United
States Air Force and the Miami Police Department.

Chamber Raid: Hackers Target US Commerce Lobby
As the U.S. government continues to pound out proposals for getting its
IT security ducks in a row, it appears it's not the only party in
Washington, D.C., to have a problem with network intrusion. IT systems
belonging to the lobbying group the United States Chamber of Commerce
were breached by hackers using servers located in China, according to a
recent report.

Color Me Electric: Researchers Develop Solar Paint
Imagine the paint on your house powering the electric devices inside it.
That's a possible application of some research being conducted at the
University of Notre Dame's Center for Nano Science and Technology. A
team at the center lead by Chemistry and Biochemistry Professor Prashant
Kamat has found a way to create a kind of solar paint that uses
nanoparticles to create energy from light.

The Disasters of 2011
If there was ever a year for train wrecks, 2011 was it. It is that time
when we look back at the screwy decisions executives made last year, and
be thankful that we aren't them. There were a number of career-limiting
moves last year that warrant a top spot on my Bozo meter. HP and Cisco
are contenders, with their Touchpad and Flip flops, but there's another
company more deserving of the crown.

Twitter as Mood Ring: We're in a Funk
A group of mathematicians turned to Twitter to gauge global happiness
for 2011, and it seems the last 12 months have not been humanity's
cheeriest. The team from the University of Vermont gathered 4.6 billion
Twitter messages from Twitter's 33 million users from around the world.
