Podcast
Google's Walls Come Crashing Down (12:23 minutes)
In this episode: Google implements a new privacy policy that tears down
the data-sharing barriers between its various services, much to the
displeasure of regulators on both sides of the Atlantic; Apple
reportedly prepares to issue an extremely rare dividend to shareholders;
the fight heats up between Apple and Proview over ownership of the word
"IPAD"; Yahoo stares down Facebook, threatening a patent suit shortly
before the social network plans to go public; Lytro releases its
shoot-first, focus-later camera.

Today's Story Highlights
FBI Chief Calls Cyberthreats Public Enemy No. 1
In the near future, cyberthreats will be the leading threat to the
United States, FBI Director Robert Mueller warned in a speech on
Thursday at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. Traditional crime, from
mortgage and healthcare fraud to child exploitation, have moved online,
while terrorists have become increasingly cyber-savvy, Mueller said.

ACTA Action, Part 3
With SOPA and PIPA out of the picture for the foreseeable future, ACTA,
the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, has becomes the world's eminent
piece of online piracy legislation. Many countries, including the U.S.,
have signed the agreement, but questions linger. In Part 3 of our three-
part podcast about ACTA, TechNewsWorld speaks with Maira Sutton from the
U.S.-based Electronic Frontier Foundation

OS Showdown: Will 8 Be Great? Will Mountain Lion Roar?
Later in 2012, we'll see the arrival of two major operating systems:
Microsoft Windows 8, a preview of which was offered to the general
public earlier this week, and Apple's OS X Mountain Lion. Are we lining
up for a major OS showdown? Or are we not comparing apples to apples?

VMware Hatches Spring Hadoop Cross-Breed for Big Data
Virtualization giant VMware has unveiled Spring Hadoop, which integrates
its Spring Framework with the Apache Hadoop platform. Spring provides a
comprehensive, lightweight framework that will make it easier for devs
to build solutions around the Hadoop platform, according to the company.
Spring Hadoop is available under the open source Apache 2.0 license and
can be downloaded free.

Lytro Cam Lets Photogs Shoot Fast, Focus Whenever
A camera that allows photographers to control the focus in a picture
after it's shot is set to start shipping on Friday. The Lytro Light
Field Camera looks like an old slide viewer, measuring 1.61 by 1.61 by
4.41 inches. At one end of the camera is a f/2 lens and 8x zoom. At the
other end is a small LCD touchscreen that measures 1.46 inches
diagonally.
