Today's Story Highlights

Wireless Data Hogs Only Getting Hungrier
It's well-known that iPhone owners use lots of cellular bandwidth, but
it seems that the iPhone 4S has taken bandwidth consumption to new
heights. Owners of the iPhone 4S use twice as much data as iPhone 4
users and nearly three times as much data as iPhone 3G users, according
to an Arieso report.

Will Google Join the TV Revolution This Time Around?
Google is not giving up on its dreams to become a TV star. The company
announced Thursday it added LG to its growing list of television
partners that will debut hardware running an upgraded version of Google
TV at the Consumer Electronics Show next week in Las Vegas.

What Just Happened? Researchers Demo Time Cloaking
Researchers at Cornell University's School of Applied and Engineering
Physics have demonstrated a way to cloak, or hide, an event in time. The
phenomenon is similar to what happens when you remove frames from a film
by cutting and splicing, except that instead of losing data about an
event, you hide that information.

AVG Anti-Virus Pro Rolls Heavy Artillery Onto Deserted Battlefield
I've always been a fan of antivirus maker AVG. That's primarily because
of the intense pain I felt when renewing staple Norton Symantec
AntiVirus subscriptions back in the day, when the PC was our sole method
of connectivity and Norton was our sole method of antivirus protection.
AVG came along in due course, and provided a free, PC-based solution
that seemed to work just as well as Norton.

Preaching the Gospel of Kopimism, Over and Over Again
Sweden has recognized a new religion. This might not be headline news
for the open-minded Swedes, save for the belief system's atypical focus:
Kopimism is devoted to technology in general and free online file-
sharing in particular. The church was registered by the Swedish
governmental agency Kammarkollegiet, shortly before the Christmas
holiday.
