Podcast
When Data Met Processing (33:48 minutes)
There's a fundamental change going on in how we approach the data that's
coming from IT systems in order to get a better monitoring and analysis
capability. "The data has to be analyzed in real-time," said AccelOps'
Mahesh Kumar. "By 'real-time,' I mean in streaming mode before the data
hits the disk."

Today's Story Highlights

Samsung Galaxy Note Aims to Harmonize Phones With Tablets
Samsung's new Galaxy Note Android phone, which will feature one of the
largest screens on a smartphone to date, will hit shelves on Feb.19.
With a 5.3-inch screen as well as a stylus, the Galaxy Note is billed as
a hybrid tablet and smartphone device.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74311.html

Meeting the Productivity Challenge in a Consumerized IT World
Employees are growing more comfortable working from their own devices,
particularly with the increasing adoption of portable technologies like
the tablet computer. They are also accustomed to self-service delivery
of applications in their personal lives, with almost instant access to
apps and new services. IT managers need to learn how to get a handle on
these devices rather than fight a losing battle with regulation.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74307.html

New Android Scare: Just How Malignant Is That Malware?
Antivirus vendor Symantec announced recently that up to 5 million
Android devices may have been infected with a particular type of
malware. Multiple publishers were pushing out apps -- some of which were
found in the official Android Market -- containing malware known as
"Counterclank," according to the AV company.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74305.html

Yoink: Efficient Swatch Snatcher Makes Full-Screen Feel Less Bloated
Of all the changes brought about with OS X Lion, full-screen viewing was
one that failed to make much of an impression on me, at least at first.
Ballooning a window to the edges of the screen and blowing out the menu
bar seemed a little restrictive at first. Full-screening an app the way
OS X does it just felt uncomfortable and weird.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74301.html

Apple Does the Money Dance
Apple's first fiscal quarter is usually a big one. The way its financial
calendar works out, what it considers Q1 ends on Dec. 31, meaning it
covers the entire holiday period, as well as maybe a little back-to-
school action. But the numbers Apple posted about its most recent Q1
were in an entirely different class than the usual money bender it wakes
up from this time of year.

Apple Does the Money Dance (13:15 minutes)
In this episode: Apple posts a record-setting quarter, thanks to its
latest iPhone and holiday sales; RIM ousts its coCEOs and cochairmen,
although their replacement does little to settle investors' nerves;
developers from rival social networks take Google to task over Search
Plus Your World; Google moves to consolidate the user data its

protected by the Fifth Amendment.

Today's Story Highlights

New Email Spec Aims to Tangle Phishing Lines
Fifteen leading email service providers and tech companies have
announced a joint effort to fight phishers. Google, Facebook, PayPal,
Yahoo and Agari are among the companies behind the Domain-based Message
Authentication, Reporting and Conformance spec. DMARC is a technical
specification that standardizes how email receivers perform email
authentication using well-known mechanisms.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74303.html

Nintendo Greases Wii U Wheels
Nintendo's Wii U will be out in time for the 2012 holiday season and
will feature NFC technology, according to the company. The next-
generation Nintendo Wii will also have a handheld controller with a
touchscreen that can interact with what's showing on the TV screen.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74300.html

FBI Looking to 'Friend' Terrorists
Social networks are popular with lots of folks, including terrorists.
That's why the FBI is looking for a contractor that will design an
"early warning system" for it based on monitoring chatter on the likes
of Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74295.html

Ubuntu's New 'HUD' Factor: A Step Forward or Back?
Some of us here in the Linux blogosphere may have hoped for a quieter
2012 than 2011 turned out to be, but so far at least, it doesn't look
like we're getting our wish. January appears to have started the year
off with a bang. Do we get a little break now that it's the end of the
month? No, we don't, thanks to the arrival of Ubuntu's "HUD."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74298.html

Apple's Textbooks Improve Everything but the Text
After Apple announced that it had "reinvented" textbooks at its
education media event in New York earlier in the month, I knew I had to
take one for a spin myself. I downloaded the new iBooks 2 iPad app and
launched it to get to the refreshed iBooks Store. I tapped the big
"Introducing Textbooks" graphic and started looking.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74278.html

Microsoft's Misunderstood 'Avoid-Ghetto' Tech
Earlier this month, Microsoft applied for a patent related to a
technology that would highlight areas of high crime and route people
around them. Folks seemed to get upset because areas like this tend to
struggling due to a lack of revenue, and this would route people who
might otherwise shop there to other safer and likely more lucrative
areas. While true, I think it comes down to choice.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74287.html

Twitter Builds a Better Gagger
Twitter announced that it can now withhold content from users country by
country on demand, while still making that content available to the rest
of the world. The news sparked widespread anger as critics accused the
microblogging service of censorship and warned that the policy might
impede popular anti-government movements such as those seen during the
Arab Spring.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74291.html

FBI's Most Wanted: A Social Media Monitoring Tool
The FBI wants to keep its eye on social media users, according to a job
post that invites software developers to submit applications capable of
mining through sites such as Twitter and Facebook to identify possible
threats. The post can be found on FedBizOpps.gov. The bureau has a
detailed list of requirements for the app.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74290.html

Scientists Close In on Invisibility Cloak
That invisibility cloak Harry Potter throws around himself to hide in
plain sight soon may be fact rather than fiction. Researchers at the
University of Texas in Austin have demonstrated one -- sort of. The
researchers hid an 18 cm cylindrical tube from microwaves by putting it
in a shell of plasmonic metamaterial.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74285.html

Vignette Lets Android Photogs Get Their Art On
Vignette differentiates itself from other Android-based camera apps by
adding cross-process, tilt-shift, double exposure and other
sophisticated effects like infrared, as opposed to the general toy
camera and retro effects commonly found. The paid version of Vignette
adds full resolution to the mix.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74274.html

Content Intent, Part 1
As far as exclusive interviews go, you could do a lot worse than getting
Herman Cain, and a lot worse than getting him on Nov. 28. That was,
after all, the day that a woman unleashed accusations of a 13-year
affair with Cain, the third racy allegation levied against Cain in a
matter of weeks. And those charges were but part of the Cain saga. There
was also the Nov. 15 Libya gaffe...
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74286.html

Privacy Advocates, Businesses Dig In for EU Lobbying Campaign
Both privacy advocates and representatives of businesses that handle
consumer data are flocking to Brussels. Why? The EU has proposed a
strict set of new data privacy rules that would restrict companies such
as Facebook even more than they currently do. Facebook, et al., have
descended on the city in the hope of softening some of the restrictions,
while privacy advocates are there to keep the EU on its intended path.

FOSS' Factious Gender Divide
iOS and OS X: Time for Some Real Convergence

Podcast
Virtualization and the Always-On Education Environment (26:57 minutes)
Avon Community Schools in Avon, Ind., has been experimenting with
desktop virtualization, and it has recently embarked on a wider
deployment for this school year. "We're finding that we can get
applications out quicker with more quality control, as far as knowing
exactly what's going to happen inside of the VM when you run that
application," said Avon's Jason Lantz.

Today's Story Highlights

Symantec Tells Customers to Pull the Plug on pcAnywhere
Symantec is sounding the alarm for users of its pcAnywhere remote access
software following threats from a hacker. In some cases, said the
security software maker, they might want to turn off and disable the
application entirely.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74281.html

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Slinging
Slingbox lets you watch your television remotely. The Slingbox hardware
device captures the source image and audio at your home and squirts it
into the Internet. Proprietary software is used to replicate a
television-like experience on laptops or other devices like smartphones.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74268.html

Rumor Mill Buzzes With Shape - and Size - of iPhones to Come
The iPhone 5 is headed toward production for a summer debut, according a
recent report. The information comes from an anonymous source:
apparently the same Foxconn employee who last fall accurately disclosed
that Apple was planning a revamped iPhone 4, the 4S, rather than the
iPhone 5.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74279.html

FOSS' Factious Gender Divide
There's no denying that the FOSS community has many virtues, but gender
equality doesn't seem to be one of them. Gender-related issues and
tensions have plagued the FOSS world for as long as many of us can
remember, and the problem has already been picked apart on these pages
time, time and time again. Well guess what? It's still a problem.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74276.html

iOS and OS X: Time for Some Real Convergence
Lately I've found myself more frequently irritated and dissatisfied with
my Mac than ever before. This is a weird feeling, made all the more
powerful by the fact that Mac OS X Lion is the most useful operating
system ever. With a simple two-fingered swipe on my Magic Mouse, I can
flick my entire screen to a whole new desktop view, and with a swipe in
the other direction, go back.

Today's Story Highlights

Privacy Advocates Fiercely Furrow Brows at Google
Google will consolidate about 60 of its privacy policies across its
products in March, creating one overarching policy and leaving only
about another 10 unchanged for legal and other reasons. The company is
also changing its terms of service. It will also combine information on
Google account holders across all the company's services the account
holder uses.

Assange to Test His Charm on Russian TV
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has plans to host a new TV show called
"The World Tomorrow." The half-hour weekly episodes are scheduled to
begin airing in mid-March on Russia's English-language RT channel. It
will reach some 60 million global viewers. Assange sees the series as a
vehicle to discuss the issues of the day with the people who are shaping
the future.

Take the 5th? Not With Encrypted Hard Drives, Says Fed Judge
Encrypting data on your computer may protect you from hackers and
thieves, but it won't protect you from crime investigators. That was the
finding of a federal district court in Colorado Monday in a case
involving a woman who refused to decrypt the files on her laptop for
government prosecutors.

Big Data's Big Challenges for Content Management
As many know, content is getting bigger -- way bigger -- and this is
scary to many technologists. At the same time, it's also getting
smarter. Applications are growing more complex, challenging IT pros as
never before. How will these changes impact content management
technologies? It's difficult to predict exactly, but there are insights
to be found and used to plan for the future.

Fotowall Has a Sharp Eye for Sweet Collages
Eye candy can be a great user experience sweetener, but tastes vary
widely as to how much is just enough, and it's one differentiator among
Linux desktops. Fotowall is a handy app that can spice up your desktop
as well as create personalized print and wallpaper displays. Fotowall is
a really clever collage-making tool of sorts.

The Pirate Bay and 3D Printing: Big Booty?
Peer-to-peer sharing site The Pirate Bay has set up a page hosting
digital 3D mockups -- digital 3D files -- for visitors to download and
print out on 3D printers. Physical objects, or "physibles," as Pirate
Bay calls them, will constitute the next step in copying, according to
the site.

Today's Story Highlights

Rival Social Nets Scold Google With 'Don't Be Evil' Bookmarklet
Engineers from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have released a
bookmarklet called "Don't Be Evil" for the Google Chrome browser. A
bookmarklet is a bit of code that runs in a Web browser and temporarily
enables added functionality. This one adds more social search results to
Google's new Search Plus Your World feature.

SC Rules Cops Need Warrant to Slap GPS on Cars
The U.S. Supreme Court decided Monday that law enforcement officials
need a court-approved warrant before using a GPS device to track a
suspect. Justices offered different opinions regarding how Fourth
Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures apply
to the balance between law enforcement and privacy.

A Strategy for Post-Virtualization Security
Virtualization has been one of the most rapidly and widely adopted
technologies in recent memory. It's huge, and it's here to stay. As
security professionals know, setting up a virtual environment securely
isn't easy. Significant effort goes into tasks like evaluating off-
premises service providers, ensuring regulatory compliance, and standing
up technical controls like monitoring and encryption.

CyanogenMod May Start Selling Forbidden Android Fruit
CyanogenMod, which offers aftermarket firmware for Android mobile
devices, is apparently planning to sell apps that have been banned from
the official Android Market. Koushik Dutta, who writes apps for
CyanogenMod, has put up a screenshot of what seems to be the landing
page for the app market.

SOPA Shellacked, PIPA Plastered
The Stop Online Piracy Act, otherwise known as "SOPA," is losing friends
fast, and now it looks like there's a good chance it'll lose the support
it needs to make it out of Congress alive, much less the White House.
SOPA and its Senate bill cousin PIPA, the Protect IP Act, have been
controversial from the beginning, but a recent round of protests have
made them almost toxic.

SOPA Shellacked, PIPA Plastered (12:36 minutes)
In this episode: SOPA and PIPA lose significant support in congress
following a day of Internet protests that included site blackouts,
information campaigns and millions of petitioners; Apple dips its toes
into textbooks with new apps and tools; Jerry Yang exits Yahoo, giving
up his seat on the board of the company he helped found; Netflix
shareholders file a class-action suit accusing the company's executives
of withholding information; hackers steal info on 24 million Zappos
customers.

Today's Story Highlights

Anonymous Lashes Out in Wake of Megaupload Shutdown
The hacker group Anonymous has reportedly launched a series of attacks
that shut down major websites in retaliation against the U.S. Department
of Justice's actions against the site Megaupload. The attacks have been
ongoing since Thursday, and various Web users who clicked on certain
links may have been tricked into becoming accomplices.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74247.html

Revamped Signup Process Shoves New Gmail Users Into Google+
Google is incorporating its social network, Google+, in just about every
part of its online empire -- including, most recently, its Gmail system.
Now, new users who want a Gmail account must also sign up for Google+.
It's not necessarily a novel move for Google. The company has been
integrating its products for years, from Picasa to YouTube to Blogger to
perhaps its most popular productivity tool, Gmail.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74246.html

SOPA Backpedaling Has InfoSec Boffins Breathing Easier
As far as SOPA's critics are concerned, "if something works, break it"
seemed to be the motto of the U.S. Congress last week as it rushed to
pass a controversial bill that security experts maintained could throw a
bomb into the gearbox of the Internet.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74244.html

Windows 8 Secure Boot - or How MS Is Riling Up the Linux Masses
What a difference a week makes. It was just the other day that Linux
bloggers were celebrating the news from researcher Net Applications that
desktop Linux had surged in popularity in recent months. Now, the mood
in the blogosphere has plummeted once again as a result of the latest
developments on the Windows 8 front.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74240.html

Numberlys: A Top-Shelf App for Kids, Though a Bit Overhyped
I must admit, I felt a bit duped by the description of the Numberlys app
after I bought, downloaded and launched the app. I was expecting
something bigger and longer that would appeal more to adults. Something
gorgeous, imaginative and slightly dystopian, with an uplifting ending.
What I got was something gorgeous, imaginative and slightly dystopian
with an uplifting ending. Just not something huge.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74232.html

In Search of the App That Could Save the World
I'm a moderate Republican, which means that if I actually think about
platforms, Obama, as a moderate Democrat, is closer to where I am than
any of the folks running in my own party. What absolutely flabbergasts
me is that these candidates don't seem to realize there is something
called "the Internet."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74231.html

McAfee Supplies Antidote for Tainted SaaS Security
Security vendor McAfee, which is now owned by Intel, is rolling out a
patch for three flaws in its Endpoint Protection Software as a Service
offering. All three flaws are in ActiveX controls. One tricks the
control into executing commands supplied by an attacker, the second lets
attackers write to files on disk, and the third lets attackers execute
code with user privileges, McAfee said.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74242.html

Quantum Tech Could Secure the Cloud Through 'Blind' Data Processing
Researchers led by the University of Vienna's Stefanie Barz have
demonstrated the possibility of using quantum computing to
unconditionally secure cloud computing. The scientists' work, written up
in the journal Science, essentially demonstrates double-blind
cryptography.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74235.html

Facebook Gets App-Happy
Do you like to garden? Share coupons? How about bike riding? If so,
there's an app for that -- on Facebook, that is -- or soon will be. As
promised at last year's f8 developer conference, Facebook rolled out
about 60 new apps to be used on its site this week. They are designed
for users to express more precisely how they are interacting with
content on Facebook.
