Today's Story Highlights

Tiny Welsh Burg Paints the Town Wiki
Monmouth, Wales, has become the first "Wikipedia town," making it an
area of international interest as it informally redubbed itself
"Monmouthpedia." The Saturday event was attended by 70 to 75 people,
said project leader John Cummings -- a sizable group for the area. That
day, some 1,100 QR codes that Cummings, volunteers and city officials
had placed on various points of interest around the town went live.

Information Highwaymen Will Follow the Cybermoney
An FBI report about Bitcoin leaked to a number of online media outlets
earlier this month caused anxiety in some corners of the Internet.
Bitcoin "provides a venue for individuals to generate, transfer,
launder, and steal illicit funds with some anonymity," says the 20-page
report. "Bitcoin will likely continue to attract cyber criminals who
view it as a means to move or steal funds as well as a means of making
donations to illicit groups," it predicts.

EC Pitches Google an Ultimatum
Today in international tech news: The European Commission warns Google
that it may have breached antitrust laws and offers the company a chance
to settle without formal charges. In other Google news, China regulators
approve the company's $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility, the
finishing touch on Google's biggest-ever acquisition.

In Search of the Next World-Changing Tech Company
With Facebook now public, the search is on for that next big-idea
company that can excite the market. Coincidently, Nvidia has its
Emerging Companies Summit about this time of year, where it has a series
of sessions that allow each firm the opportunity to present what makes
them unique and powerful. Since I sat on one of the panels tasked with
asking the hard questions of these firms on stage, I got a unique view
of each of the presenters.

Who Loves Ya, Linux Baby?
If there's anything important in this competitive world, it's the
ability to tell one's friends from one's enemies. We here in the Linux
blogosphere tend to be pretty good at that, but recently a surprising
turn of events left us befuddled. Namely: Mozilla's decision to leave
Linux support out of the initial release of its upcoming Web Apps
marketplace.

Beautifully Dark Design Makes Up for 'Crow's' Gameplay Shortcomings
Every two or three months, an iOS game manages to snag more than a brief
glance and actually inspires me to buy and download it. "Crow" is one of
those games. The icon for the game implies a lot -- it's got a wicked
darkness to it, is slickly designed, and it evokes the idea that there's
trouble somewhere.
