Podcast
The Networked Economy (18:56 minutes)
Dynamic discounting proved to be a real game changer for Mediafly. "We
joke that it would be interesting if all of our customers leveraged
something like dynamic discounting," said CEO Carson Conant. "It would
be transformative for our business. It would drastically accelerate how
we can deploy cash. Then you think about it in terms of what could it do
for the economy."

Leap Aims to Put a Whole New World in Your Hands
Leap Motion released its new Leap motion control system for pre-order on
Monday, with shipment promised in early 2013. The $69.99 Leap is 200
times more sensitive than any similar existing technology and allows for
a variety of natural and intuitive 3D motion controls. Leap Motion is
shipping out developer kits as well, and the technology could soon be
incorporated in a variety of gaming, graphic design, robotics and other
software and computing systems.

Isolated Systems Need Love Too
Information security has changed a lot over the years. Way back in the
dinosaur days, life was simple. Companies set up a firewall at the
border and life was good. Bad guys stayed on one side of the fancy
flashing box, and our personnel lived in the pristine, attacker-free
paradise on the inside. Well, that's how it was supposed to work, at
least. Over the years, the model changed.

Germany Kicks Microsoft StreetSide to the Curb
Today in international tech news: In Germany, Microsoft's StreetSide is
running into similar problems that Google's StreetView service faced.
Elsewhere, the Associated Press takes a long look at the case of Cuba's
disappearing high-speed Internet cable, a Japanese chipmaker plans to
cut 6,000 jobs, and Spotify launches in Australia.

Why China Stuck Its Foot in Android's Door
China's antitrust authorities have approved Google's purchase of
Motorola Mobility, on the condition that the Android operating system
remain open source and its code be made freely available to original
equipment manufacturers. Android devices had nearly 74 percent of the
Chinese market in Q4, 2011, and that means Android is in a dominant
position, China's Commerce Department said.

A Slap to the Interface: 3 Apps for OS X Window Management
Features that Apple has added to OS X over the years, like Mission
Control and Spaces, have given users more options for laying out their
work areas. Each time another edition of OS X comes out with new
interface abilities, the desktop feels more manageable, less
constricted. However, there are still a few window management tricks and
functions that OS X can't do on its own.

Microsoft Tries a So.cl Experiment
Microsoft opened So.cl, its experimental approach to a social network,
to all users Monday, aiming to create a place to find and share online
articles, videos and digital content, all with the help of its search
engine Bing. So.cl doesn't appear to be a direct challenge to
established social media sites like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

Chrome Snatches IE's Browser Crown
While Google remains the search engine champion, it is also now
apparently the top dog with the Web browsers where searches take place.
Google's Chrome is now the most popular Web browser, having overtaken
Microsoft's Internet Explorer worldwide, according to the latest figures
from StatCounter. Chrome took the lead with 32.76 percent of the market
compared to IE's 31.94 percent.
