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

Senate Bill Would Give DHS a Cybersecurity Whip
A bipartisan group of senators has proposed legislation that would give
the United States Department of Homeland Security increased power over
critical IT infrastructure owned by the private sector. The
Cybersecurity Act of 2012 was introduced in the Senate Tuesday by
Senator Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee.

Google Zips Up Wallet
In the wake of two security flaws reported in its Google Wallet mobile
payment system last week, Google has clamped down on the system and is
scrambling to come up with a fix. One of the two flaws affects only
rooted devices. But it's the second that troubles Google more.

Enterprise Storage: IT's Next Revolution
Enterprise storage is currently in the midst of a great transformation
the likes of which has not been seen in well over two decades. There's
been an unprecedented amount of activity in the storage space this year,
with a host of promising new companies launching and major storage
vendors beginning to drastically retool their architectures.

gThumb Nimbly Shuffles Through Images and Video
gThumb is one of the best image viewer and browser applications
available for the GNOME Desktop. I particularly like its adeptness in
handling both still photography and videos. That is an unusual pairing
for an image viewer on any platform. You are not likely to find this
combination, or at least one that works so seamlessly, in other image
viewers.

NASA Dreams of Floating Space Station Twixt Earth and Moon
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is looking into
setting up a base near the moon to further space exploration. As it's
envisioned, the base will go into a halo orbit of the Earth-moon
libration point 2, known as "EM L-2," above the far side of the moon.
Essentially, a spacecraft in a halo orbit goes around and around near a
libration, or Lagrangian, point -- in this case E-M L2.

Next iPad May Be Quick and Dainty
Rumors are flying that the iPad 3 will debut on March 7. It will be 4G
ready, and it will be available through Verizon and AT&T. The new Apple
tablet will be called the "iPad 3." Rumors also suggest that Apple is
testing a smaller, 8-inch iPad to compete with Amazon's 7-inch Kindle
Fire. The smaller iPad would also come at a lower price than Apple's
standard 10-inch model.
