Today's Story Highlights

Infected Computers to Lose Web Access When FBI Band-Aid Falls Off
Come July 9, about 350,000 computers in the United States alone may lose
access to the Internet because they had previously been infected with
DNSChanger malware. The malware stealthily redirected victims accessing
various websites to rogue servers controlled by a cybercriminal ring.

India Crowned Spam King of the World
Today in international tech news: India earns the dubious distinction of
being the world's top spammer, China vows to curb copyright infringement
yet again and -- whoops! -- a British company that intended to fire one
employee via email accidentally fires 1,300 of them. Meanwhile, naked
pictures on Facebook land an Australian man in jail and land a German
track star in the spotlight.

Demo 2012: Looking for the Next Google, Facebook or Apple
Demo is a fascinating show. What you see is a string of companies that
each have six minutes to pitch their products to an audience of media,
investors, other companies (who might buy them), and peers. My initial
thought is that my friend Carmine Gallo, who wrote The Presentation
Secrets of Steve Jobs and teaches people how to present, could make a
living helping these folks present properly.

Linus, Linux and the Millennium Technology Prize
It doesn't happen often here in the Linux blogosphere that FOSS fans
agree unanimously on -- well, on pretty much anything. Truth be told,
there's generally good reason for the dissension. Take Microsoft's
latest maneuvers, for example -- are they good news? Bad news? It's not
always easy to tell. Last week, however, one of those rare announcements
was made that brought universal joy to Linux aficionados around the
globe.

Schlepping Files Got You Down? Enter the DragonDrop
I'm a highly visual guy, and while there are all sorts of ways to work
with files on my Mac, I still love cluttering up my desktop with
folders, links, documents and photos. I treat my desktop like a table
surface, and I have elaborate stacks and sections of folders and files.

IBM Aims to Equip Electric Cars for the Long Haul
IBM researchers are looking to go the distance with electric vehicles.
On Friday, Big Blue announced that material innovation developers Asahi
Kasei and Central Glass had joined its Battery 500 Project team to
develop new battery technology for electric vehicles. IBM Research has
been striving to develop a lithium-air battery that would make it
possible for a family-sized electric car to drive 500 miles on a single
charge.

AT&T's Watson APIs Let Apps Recognize Speech
AT&T could shake up the voice-recognition market when it launches
several application programming interfaces for its Watson speech
recognition program in June. Developers will be able to use these APIs
to create new apps and services with voice recognition and transcription
capabilities.
