Podcast
The Over/Under on Cloud Security (36:24 minutes)
Ever since the term "the cloud" came into use, security has been one of
the subject's most hotly debated topics. Is it riskier from a security
perspective to conduct operations and store data outside a business' own
four walls? Or can security actually be better in the cloud, in the same
way a safe deposit box may be a safer place to store valuables than
one's own home?

Today's Story Highlights

WikiLeaks Splays Stratfor Wide Open
WikiLeaks on Monday released the first 200 of what it says are 5 million
emails stolen from global geopolitical analyst firm Stratfor. The
emails, written between July 2004 and late December 2011, reveal
Stratfor's web of informers, its payoff structure, payment laundering
techniques and psychological methods, WikiLeaks stated. Stratfor
denounced the act as a deplorable, unfortunate and illegal breach of
privacy.

HTC Touts the Power of One
HTC revealed a new line of smartphones at Barcelona's Mobile World
Congress Sunday, showcasing handsets designed to emphasize audio and
sleek, efficient displays. The line will include three handsets under
the collective HTC One series: the One X, One V and One S. All will run
on Android Ice Cream Sandwich and will come with 25 GB of cloud storage
space courtesy of Dropbox.

White House Puts Privacy Under Bright, Hot Lights
Internet privacy appeared on the big stage last week when the Obama
administration unveiled its plans on the subject, which included a bill
of rights for consumer privacy. The President's privacy framework evoked
reactions from stakeholders ranging from enthusiastic to guardedly
optimistic.

The Future of Movies and Reality TV
"Act of Valor" just opened. An amazing combination of technology made
the creation of this movie possible on an incredibly low budget, and
much of this technology is available to you. In fact, the movie was
created mostly with tools you could have in your home. Also last week,
Google leaked its augmented-reality glasses. Weaving these two events
together gives us a glimpse of the future of reality movies and TV.

Ubuntu's Bold Mobile Gambit
After Canonical's Tuesday debut of Ubuntu for Android, it soon became
clear that the news had struck some kind of chord with observers far and
wide, prompting nothing less than a large-scale reconsideration of the
current state of computing. How do we compute today? How might that get
better in the coming years? What role should be played by all these
myriad devices we have on hand?

Mountain Lion Messages: A Few Crossed Wires, Lots of Potential
The new Messages app for the upcoming release of OS X Mountain Lion --
that's right, it's "OS X" without the old "Mac" in front of it now -- is
in beta and available for download. Unlike some companies, Apple tends
not to release beta software, but it occasionally does. Of course, it
took me all of six seconds to decide to give it a whirl.

Social Network Users Dumping Friends and Locking Doors
Users of social networks, especially women and younger members, are
managing their accounts better in recent years, Pew Research has found.
About two-thirds of Internet users belong to social networking sites,
and metrics for profile management have improved, Pew said. For one
thing, users are cleaning house more. Overall, 63 percent of social
networking site users have deleted friends, up from 56 percent in 2009.
