Today's Story Highlights

US Cybercounterterrorism Team Takes on al-Qaida
The interagency Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications
last week revealed that its Digital Outreach Team responded to pictures
posted by al-Qaida supporters on Yemeni discussion forums. To counter
the images of coffins covered by the U.S. flag, the center posted
pictures of coffins draped with the Yemen flag, along with Arabic
messages regarding the human toll inflicted on Yemen by al-Qaida.

Flame Malware Scorches Systems Across the Middle East
A cyberweapon of unprecedented sophistication is ripping through
computer systems in the Middle East, security vendor Kaspersky Lab
claims. It has dubbed the malware "Worm.Win32.Flame" -- or "Flame," for
short. Other security vendors, including McAfee and Symantec, have
issued similar warnings.

Dell's Tablet: Netbook Redux?
New details have emerged regarding an upcoming Dell tablet device, which
could be one of the first to run Windows 8. The tablet will reportedly
run on a dual-core Intel Cloverleaf processor with 2 GB of RAM and 128
GB of SSD storage. It will have a 10.1-inch display.

DCAC: A Field Day for the Heat
"Domestic Communications Assistance Center" is the kind of name you'd
give to a couples counseling collective. At the FBI, though, it's the
name that's been given to an agency designed to be at the cutting edge
of digital snooping. The center is part of an initiative within the U.S.
Justice Department called "Going Dark."

Enyo's End Is Not Nigh
Most of HP's webOS team, including Matt McNulty, head of the project, is
moving to Google according to a report by The Verge citing several
unnamed sources. The departing team is said to be almost wholly
responsible for Enyo's code. Enyo replaced Mojo as webOS's software
development kit in 2011.

Oracle's Patent 'Disaster': Beginning of a Bright New Era?
It's been an eventful year already here in the Linux blogosphere, but it
seems fair to say few events have drawn as much attention as the Oracle
v. Google trial. Bloggers have been discussing it for weeks already, of
course, but developments last week brought forth nothing less than
dancing in the streets of the Linux blogosphere.

Where Have All the Jailbreakers Gone?
The Absinthe 2.0 jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 was released Friday on the
Greenpois0n website. This is less than a month after iOS 5.1.1 was
released, on May 7. With Absinthe 2.0, iPhone users will be able to use
the latest version of iOS while keeping the phone open to applications
outside Apple's official App Store.

Facebook Is a Fraud
I've been up to my armpits talking about Facebook for most of this
month, and maybe because I'm unusually dense, just realized that
Facebook is a new kind of dot-com. By this I mean its revenue and profit
are based on a series of false beliefs. Unlike the first dot-coms, which
failed, Facebook does have revenue and profit, but just like them it has
been built on a stack of false assumptions.
