Podcast
The Rise of the International Cybervillain (32:13 minutes)
The evolution of today's threat landscape didn't happen overnight. Shady
alliances between government agencies, for-profit cybercrooks,
politically minded hackers and organized crime have formed over the
years to create the situation we see today. In fact, "they do capitalism
better than we do," said Financial Times correspondent Joseph Menn.

Today's Story Highlights
Hackers Jimmy Into Microsoft's Indian E-Commerce Digs
Malicious hackers attacked Microsoft's India online retail store on
Sunday evening, publishing obscured screenshots that appeared to contain
personal user information. A Chinese hacker group known as "Evil Shadow
Team" took responsibility for the breach, posting a message on
Microsoft's website stating that the "unsafe system will be baptized."

How MySpace Got Its Groove Back
On Monday, Myspace announced startling news: 1 million new members have
joined in the past month, and the rate of signups has risen to 40,000
per day. Myspace was considered all but dead when Specific Media and
singer and actor Justin Timberlake took it off News Corp.'s hands last
year.

Silicon Valley's Secret Sauce
Business strategists and government officials routinely visit Silicon
Valley in hopes of learning how to emulate the area's wildly successful
startup culture. Now, thanks to The Start-Up of You , a new book by
LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman and entrepreneur Ben Casnocha, the curious
can save themselves the plane ticket.

Open APIs Are the New Open Source
We've seen the rise of open source software in the enterprise and also
beyond the IT industry, but the real keys to openness and its advantages
in today's technology world -- where efficient use of cloud computing
and supporting services are paramount -- exist in open application
programming interfaces, or APIs.

Filterstorm: Phenomenal Editing Power, Itty Bitty Working Space
Using Filterstorm for iPhone made me wonder what life would have been
like if I'd chosen the iPad edition of the app instead. Filterstorm is
obviously powerful, it's much more versatile than the generic set of
filters you see in a lot of other iPhone photo retouching apps, and near
as I can tell, it delivers each and every feature it flaunts in its App
Store description.
