Podcast
The Sky-High Expectations Surrounding Mobile Networks (23:34 minutes)
Users today want to be able to access more services using more devices.
They want coordination across all the platforms they use, they want
security and privacy, and they want the full support of their IT
departments. It's all a very tall order, and networks will need to
adjust rapidly or the latency and hassle of access and performance
issues will get in the way of users, their new expectations, and their
behaviors.

Today's Story Highlights

Critics Shed a Warm Glow on Lumia 900
The Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone-powered handset is slated to be
released next week, and so far gadget critics are giving the smartphone
a generally warm welcome. The Lumia 900 has a 1.4 GHz processor, a 4.3-
inch AMOLED ClearBlack touchscreen, a one-piece polycarbonate body, an
8MP main camera with dual LED flash and autofocus, and a 1MP camera in
front that allows video calling.

Video Game Guide a Sturdy Handbook for the Pragmatic Parent
Scott Steinberg is up to something important: He's trying to break down
the walls raised by technology that have sprung up between children and
their sometimes hapless parents. More importantly, he seems to trying to
build a set of books and resources that will not only help parents
understand the interaction and effects of technology on their children,
but also protect yet let them embrace new tech.

Is the Price of Chinese Labor Destined to Climb?
On Wednesday Reuters published an article forecasting that China is
"losing its title as the world's lowest-cost producer of everything."
Foxconn Technology's announcement that it would improve working
conditions for its million-plus workers foreshadowed a permanent shift
in how the nation treats workers, according to the report.

Recoll Looks High, Looks Low, Finds Your File With Ease
Not all search tools are the same. Just like users have a variety of
Linux distros that appeal to a wide range of needs, search apps do
different tasks for different users. One of the best search tools I have
found is a clever app called "Recoll."

Girls Around Me App: It's Complicated
If you find out everything about someone by talking to lots of people,
then put the information together and tell everyone else, are you being
creepy? Or are you just a gossip? That's the gist of the argument raging
around the controversial Girls Around Me iOS app. The app scours
Facebook and FourSquare for information women have posted on these
services' public pages.
