Podcast
Disaster Recovery: Not Just for Catastrophes Anymore (21:39 minutes)
Having a comprehensive disaster recovery system in place doesn't just
come in handy when calamity strikes. "We're starting to move now into a
slightly different world, but it has been the catalyst of DR that's
enabled [business units] to start thinking in these new ways, which they
weren't able to do before," said SAI Global's Mark Iveli.

Today's Story Highlights

Got Your Number: Skype Investigates IP Discovery Flaw
Skype is investigating a tool published recently on Pastebin that
captures the last-known IP address of the VoIP service's users. "This is
an ongoing, industry-wide issue faced by all peer-to-peer software
companies," said Adrian Asher, Skype's director of product security. "We
are committed to the safety and security of our customers and we are
taking measures to help protect them."

Street View Saga Faces New Scrutiny in UK
Today in international tech news: The Google data collection turmoil
might be far from over, as the UK considers launching a Street View
investigation of its own. Meanwhile, Instagram has 100,000 photos in its
first month in China, BlackBerry maker RIM sponsors -- and takes heat
for -- a gathering outside of an Apple store in Australia, and Barnes &
Noble eyes international markets.

Home Smart Home
Tim Shriver likes to talk to his house. "Turn the porch light on at 3
p.m.," he says through an intercom to the female voice that belongs to
his house. She confirms that she will make sure the light comes on as
instructed. "Open my shopping list, and add apples, bananas and bread,"
he continues. She assures him she will update the shopping list, as
well. As CEO of Home Automated Living, Shriver has a completely
automated house.

Flight+: Planespotting Made Easy
I've been experiencing a good luck streak lately when it comes to air
travel. There's been no lost luggage, no security incidents, only short
delays and some pretty easy itineraries. I realize that I've jinxed it
all to hell by writing this, but it was great while it lasted. Even when
air travel goes smoothly, though, there are sometimes hectic moments.

Google, FCC Showdown Spotlights Technology Law Lag
Google is trying to do damage control and prove it had no nefarious
goals with its ambitious Street View project, following an FCC into the
search giant's collection and storage of data from millions of unknowing
households across the country. The FCC determined in its report that the
data collection was not illegal; however, it slapped Google with a
$25,000 fine for obstructing its investigation -- a contention Google
has denied.
