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

Zynga Pulls Out the Glue Gun
Zynga made a number of announcements at its Unleashed event in San
Francisco Tuesday, most of them aimed at the same goal: making its
services "stickier" to its players. "Social games have become a crowded
marketplace," said Scott Steinberg, digital game consultant and
principal in TechSavvyGlobal.com.

Ancient EU Dispute Ends With $1B Fine Against Microsoft Upheld
Today in international tech news: Microsoft's attempt to overturn an EU
fine fails, leaving it on the hook for more than $1 billion. Also: The
New York Times launches a Chinese-language website; arsonists attack
Microsoft's Greek headquarters in what multiple outlets say is a protest
against austerity measures; Apple launches iTunes stores across Asia --
but not in China.

Terabits by Twisted Light: The Optical Communications Revolution
Twisted infrared light beams have propelled wireless data transmission
to a dazzling 2.56 terabits per second via a system developed by a
multinational team of researchers led by the Optical Communications
Laboratory at the University of Southern California. The process
essentially twists beams of light so that they can carry more data, more
quickly than ever before.

AI System Learns to Recognize Faces and Felines
A neural network built over the years by researchers from Stanford
University and Google has managed to teach itself to recognize faces and
cats. The network consists of 16,000 processors on a cluster of 1,000
computers. After being exposed to 10 million images downloaded from the
Internet, the network software learned to recognize human and cat faces,
as well as human bodies, according to the researchers.

The Do-Not-Track Balancing Act
When Microsoft announced recently that Internet Explorer 10 will have
its Do Not Track feature turned on by default, it seemed those concerned
about online privacy would hail the move as a step in the right
direction. Consumer advocates and other groups had been agitating for
such a feature for some time.

7-Zip Stuffs Data Tight, but It's Hard to Get a Grip on This Zipper
7-Zip and p7Zip belong to a family of file compression utilities that
are among the best available for Linux/Unix. So you would think that the
development communities would offer to Linux users what is available in
similar compression apps on the Windows and Mac platforms. Think again!
