Today's Story Highlights

Google's New App Mall Cop
Google last week announced it's beefed up security at the Android Market
with a malware sniffing system called "Bouncer." Bouncer analyzes new
and existing apps, as well as developer accounts. Before apps are
allowed to be sold in the market, they're analyzed to see if they
contain any known malware, spyware or trojans.

Will the Spark Tablet Ignite a FOSS Fire?
Now that webOS is making its merry way along the open road, there's no
telling what tablets or other mobile devices it may inspire over the
upcoming months. In the meantime, the Linux world is all abuzz over what
promises to be the very first fully open tablet out there: the Spark, a
device slated to ship in May from none other than the KDE Plasma Active
community itself.

Inside the World of Dinosaurs Feeds the Dino Lover in All of Us
As near as I can tell, almost every kid goes through an intense dinosaur
phase, and for some adults, the fascination remains for decades. Even
years after the movie "Jurassic Park" brought dinos to life, I would
still eat up all the dinosaur documentary shows I could find, like
"Walking With Dinosaurs."

AMD: Shift Happens
Last week was the coming-out party for AMD's new CEO, and his core
message was that the market was undergoing a shift -- and when markets
shift, leadership changes. His point was that Intel's leadership was at
risk and that AMD was poised to take over that leadership. The nature of
this change is massive, and I doubt we -- I mean any of us -- are fully
aware of how much is changing.

Pew Study Finds Facebook Power Concentrated in Relatively Few Friends
An in-depth look at Facebook user behavior reveals some interesting
trends among this more than 800- million constituency: One, Facebook
users tend to receive more from the Facebook friends than they give out;
two, there is a solid core of users that are very active on the site.

Leaked Info Offers Glimpse of WinPho's Muscular Future
Microsoft is overhauling Windows Phone 8, which is still in development,
to make it more competitive with market leaders iOS and Android,
according to leaked information. The mobile OS will add support for
multicore processors, up to four new screen resolutions, and removable
microSD card storage. It will also support near-field communications,
the technology that enables e-wallets.
