Today's Story Highlights

Anons' FBI Phone Snooping Casts Long Shadow on Cybersecurity
The hacker community Anonymous on Friday landed another blow in its war
with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. It posted an
internal memo from the law enforcement agency about an upcoming
international call to discuss hackers. Anonymous also put up a recording
of the call itself on YouTube.

Google Hires Bouncer to Give Android Malware the Heave-Ho
Google announced a new layer of security for its Android Market on
Thursday, unveiling a program called "Bouncer" that will automatically
scan apps for malware. Bouncer works by analyzing each app as it's
uploaded to the Market, scanning for threats, spyware and trojans.

Vizio's Widescreen 3D TV: Plenty of Features, Little to Watch
Vizio has unveiled a 58-inch 3D widescreen HDTV with a 21:9 aspect ratio
-- far more than the standard 16:9 ratio HDTVs use. Users can set the TV
to upscale 16:9 content to fill the screen. The sale price for this set
will start at US$3,500 -- that includes four pairs of 3D glasses.

Avid Packs a Prosumer Video Editor Into an iPad
Avid is well-known for its chops as a maker of professional video
editing suites, but on Thursday it grabbed some notice in consumer
circles with a new offering for Apple's iPad 2. Avid Studio, available
from Apple's App Store for a limited time at $4.99, brings a solid set
of video editing tools to the iPad.

Spark Tablet Coming for the FOSS Crowd
The recently announced Spark tablet might prove to be the first Linux-
running open source tablet fully capable of being modded by users. It
has an open Linux stack on unlocked hardware, and it will come with an
open content and services market. The Spark will come under the GNU
General Public License from its inception.

Measure to Ease Video-Rental Privacy Curbs Catches Flack in Senate
A change to the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act recently sailed
through the House of Representatives without a hitch. The bill would
allow a provider of rental DVDs or videos to get consent to share their
customers' title selections, as long as users were provided with an
opportunity to withdraw that consent. That smooth ride ended in the
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law.
