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

Court Rules Kiwi Cops Botched Megaupload Raid
New Zealand police used invalid warrants to search and seize property
from the mansion of Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom, a high court judge in
that country has reportedly ruled. The papers that authorities used were
general warrants and fell well short of describing the offenses alleged,
High Court Judge Helen Winkelmann said.

A Handful of Devs Get Their Hands on Google Glasses
Skydivers, mountain bikers and rappellers donned Google Glasses on
Wednesday and captured video of their stunts at the Google I/O
conference, giving the world a glimpse of the capabilities of this new
wearable technology. Google is selling the glasses for $1,500 to U.S.-
based developers who were in attendance at the conference.

Google Charges Into the Living Room With New Nexus Q Streamer
Google worked toward pulling together its ecosystem Wednesday,
announcing an array of new products and services at its I/O Developer
Conference. In addition to its widely anticipated Nexus 7 tablet, the
company unveiled its Nexus Q media streamer and its Google Cloud
Messaging service for Android; made much of its enhancements to Google
Play; and launched a demonstration of Google Glass, its smart eyepiece.

UK Officials: If You Want Your Porn, You'll Have to Come and Get It
Today in international tech news: British lawmakers continue to discuss
porn; A New Zealand judge rules that search warrants used in the arrest
of Megaupload.com founder Kim Dotcom were unlawful; The New York Times '
Sina Weibo account is suspended -- after one day -- as the outlet's
Chinese-language site goes live.

Staying Safe and Secure in the Public WiFi Wilderness
With the apparent clamp-down on formerly liberal U.S. data quotas by
mobile operators, public WiFi hotspots -- like cafes -- for daily Web
consumption may become an ever more likely Internet environment for many
of us. Europeans have been used to limited mobile data quotas under
various euphemisms like "fair use policies" and "data plans" for some
time.

Bellowing Ads Have No Place in iTunes
As an Apple product-lovin' enthusiast, my default gut reaction is to
defend Apple, just like my gut reaction to defend my family and friends.
When Apple does something silly, or more likely doesn't do something it
ought to do -- or consumers wish it would do -- I tend to think about it
from the perspective of Apple's business interests. And I rationalize
it.

Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome?
There are many topics that tend to come up in a recurring manner around
water coolers throughout the Linux blogosphere, and not just the great
"Year of" debate, either. No indeed, another shining example more than a
little familiar to most of us who spend any time here is the much-abused
command line -- specifically, whether it's outlived its usefulness in
this era of the GUI.

Google Makes Its Play in Tablets
Google launched its Nexus 7 tablet on Wednesday at its Google I/O
developers conference in San Francisco. The tablet, which is made by
Asus, has a 1,280 x 800 display. It has an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core
CPU with that processor's associated 12-core GPU. The Nexus tablet 7 has
a front-facing camera and supports WiFi, Bluetooth and near-field
communications.
