Today's Story Highlights

The Earth Is Moving Under the Smartphone Market
One thing that Apple made clear when it took the smartphone market away
from then-dominant players Palm, BlackBerry and Microsoft is that to win
you need to make big bets and change the battle. The market is now
dominated by Apple and Google technology -- much of which Google doesn't
control -- and Microsoft just swapped CEOs because the old CEO couldn't
pull the needed rabbit out of his hat.

Yahoo Issues Security Sitrep
Yahoo has announced a new effort to upgrade its security, in the wake of
a torrent of breaches and hacker attacks over recent months. Yahoo's
plans include encryption of data in motion, enabling HTTPS encryption,
and implementing the latest in security best practices, said Chief
Information Security Officer Alex Stamos, who took over the job in
March.

Eich Falls on Sword for Mozilla
Mozilla Foundation cofounder Brendan Eich -- whose recent appointment as
CEO of subsidiary Mozilla Corp. sparked an uproar -- on Thursday stepped
down from the post in a bid to keep the company viable. Foundation
cofounder and CEO Mitchell Baker painted the move as a return to the
foundation's core principles, noting that Eich made the decision "for
Mozilla and our community."

Record Labels Slam Russian Social Net With Piracy Suit
Sony Music, Universal Music and Warner Music on Thursday filed legal
proceedings against vKontakte, or VK, charging that the Russian social
network operates a music service that deliberately facilitates
widespread copyright infringement. VK operates an unlicensed music
service involving a large collection of copyright-infringing tracks, the
companies charge.
