Today's Story Highlights

Google Caught With Hand In Safari's Cookie Jar
Google is one of four online advertising companies that have sneaked
around the privacy settings in Apple's Safari Web browser to track user
activity, according to research by Stanford University graduate
student Jonathan Meyer. All four surreptitiously submitted a Web form
and placed trackable cookies in Safari, Meyer found.

Facebook Starts Collecting IDs of the Rich-in-Friends and Famous
Stefani Germanotta might be one of the most popular music performers
today but many people still have to think a moment before they realize
she's Lady Gaga. Recognizing this, Facebook is putting in place an
account verification mechanism for subscribers with a large number of
friends.

ACTA Action, Part 1
With SOPA and PIPA on the back burner, ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting
Trade Agreement, has become the world's eminent piece of online piracy
legislation. A slew of countries, including the U.S., have signed the
agreement, but skepticism rages on. There have been protests throughout
Europe, threats from Anonymous and resentment from Web users the
world over.

Mobile Nirvana: Syncing Smartphones, Tablets and PCs
The concept of mobile connectivity in today's multi-device world is
changing. Connectivity means more than connecting our laptop computers
to WiFi or 3G carrier networks wherever we go. Today people work on more
than one computer. Increasingly, workers and consumers alike rely on a
growing collection of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs.

Clik Aims to Appify the Universal Remote
Canadian company Kik Interactive, creator of the Kik Messenger
smartphone texting app, has announced a new product called "Clik." Clik
lets smartphone users interact with any screen that's connected to a
browser. Smartphone owners can simply use their devices to scan a code
found on the screen they want to take control of and immediately
connect. The screen must have an Internet connection.

New Social Network for Caregivers Bucks 'User as Product' Model
Former Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz is offering caregivers a
social networking service designed to be free of confusing privacy
policies and invasive advertising. Social networking is far older than
Facebook, MySpace or even Friendster, according to Schwartz, CareZone
founder and CEO. Family is actually the world's oldest social network.

Apple Cross-Breeds Desktop With Mobile in OS X Mountain Lion
Apple revealed on Thursday a developers' preview of the next version of
its OS X operating system, and it's loaded with some of the features
found in the company's popular iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Parts of the
OS X refresh, called "Mountain Lion" and expected to be released in late
summer, will be deja vu for users of Apple's mobile products. A new
messaging app will replace iChat.
