Today's Story Highlights

The Apple iTime Is Destined to Fail - Seriously?
I try hard to ignore the really dumb things people say when they talk
out their backsides about tech, and I personally know how hard it is to
come up with excellent tech focused opinions -- as opposed to rehashing
the day's latest news with an ironic or humorous spin. And here's the
"but"... I was absolutely floored by John C. Dvorak's iTime post.

Russia Cites Surveillance Concerns in Apple, SAP Source Code Demands
Russia wants Apple and SAP to turn over their source code in yet another
instance of fallout resulting from leaks about NSA surveillance
activities. The suggestion reportedly came last week, when
Communications Minister Nikolai Nikiforov met with executives of the two
companies: Peter Nielsen, Apple's general manager in Russia; and
Vyacheslav Orekhov, SAP's managing director in Russia.

MyNotex Strikes an Almost Perfect Note
Note-taking applications in Linux are a dime a dozen. It can be
difficult to sort through the feature sets to find the best solution.
MyNotex has a near-perfect combination of features and uniqueness to put
it into a class of its own. MyNotex is a multipurpose tool to take
notes, file documents, and manage information or research. It is
available in both 32-bit and 64-bit Deb and RPM packages.

Internet.org Hands Out Free Samples in Zambia
The Internet.org collective's mission of bringing the entire planet
online took a step forward Thursday with the release of an app affording
limited free mobile Internet access to users in Zambia. While around 85
percent of the world's people are located in areas with cellular network
connectivity, only 30 percent access the Internet. In Zambia, just 15
percent have online access.
