Podcast
The Supply Chain's Weak Cybersecurity Links (27:50 minutes)
"The supply chain problem really is rather daunting for many businesses,
because supply chains are global now, and it means that ... finished
products have a tremendous numbers of elements," said former NSA Senior
Counsel Joel Brenner. "This software, where was it written? Maybe it was
written in Russia -- or maybe somewhere in Ohio or in Nevada, but by
whom? We don't know."

Today's Story Highlights

Facebook's Email Bungle: Not What It Did but How It Did It
For every step Facebook takes toward improving consumer privacy and
information control, it seems to take about five giant steps back. The
latest example is the unilateral change it made to users' listed email
addresses: It converted them to @facebook.com, and messages now go to
the Facebook email in-box rather than to their original destinations.

Gigapixel Photography: It's All in the Details
To test the 1-gigapixel AWARE-2 camera his team developed, David Brady,
a professor at Duke, took a few snapshots of tundra swans. "Normally,
with bird photography you're rushing to point the camera in the right
direction," he said. "Here we just took a bunch of pictures and then
went back later to see what we had.

Microsoft and EU Near the End of a Long and Winding Legal Fight
Today in international tech news: After a decade, Microsoft and the EU
are nearing the end of a marathon legal tango. Also: A British
intelligence agency issues some dire warnings about cyberattacks and
terrorism; "Angry Birds" tries to tap into -- not fight -- piracy in
China; and police investigate racist tweets in England after a
heartbreaking soccer defeat.

iOS Maps Goes On Location With Yelp
Apple's upcoming, self-made Maps app for iOS will include a check-in
feature that ties in with review site Yelp, further integrating social
networking and location-based services into iOS 6, according to a
report. The new integration will allow iPhone users to check in right on
Apple's Maps screen rather than access the site via Yelp's
separate app.

Is Microsoft Feeding the Android Machine?
The month of June has not been kind to Microsoft hardware partners. Last
week, Redmond revealed that it's getting into the Windows tablet game
with the introduction of the Surface, meaning it will compete for sales
with its own allies. It followed that up with news about WinPho 8.

Facebook's Find Friends Feature Tiptoes In, Tiptoes Out
Facebook rolled out a new mobile social discovery tool recently, only to
deactivate it hours later and pull it from its iOS and Android apps. The
service, which Facebook called "Find Friends Nearby," was designed to
help Facebook users find others who were in the same vicinity.

Mass Effect 3 Fans May Get Steamed All Over Again
Bowing to fan outrage over the controversial ending of "Mass Effect 3"
earlier this year, BioWare is releasing an "extended cut" version of the
last game in the space epic trilogy. The game, expected to be made
available Tuesday, will answer many of the complaints users had about
the original ending, BioWare said.
