Today's Story Highlights

Feds Wielded Baseball Bat to Win Yahoo's NSA Cooperation
The Obama administration threatened Yahoo with fines of $250,000 daily
if it wouldn't comply with demands to hand over user information to the
NSA, Yahoo has disclosed. Yahoo had filed suit against the demands in
2007, citing the Fourth Amendment. "They basically said you must do this
thing that you don't want to do or we'll put you out of business," said
ITIF's Daniel Castro.

7 Crazy-Named, Crazy Good Open Source Enterprise IT Tools
Enterprise IT is a very serious matter, but you might not know it
judging by the software tools that are often integral to its operations.
The list of odd names in today's data centers and enterprise IT shops
also highlights the ongoing trend of polyglot programming. Today's
applications and services are based on a wider variety of application
components and run on a wider array of infrastructure.

Google Buys Developer of Tremor-Canceling Tech
Google has purchased Lift Labs, which produces battery-operated utensils
that make it easier for people with tremors to eat their meals.
Parkinson's and ET patients' hands shake, making it difficult for them
to eat or drink. Lift Labs' products, offered under the "Liftware" name,
cancel more than 70 percent of tremors. Lift Labs also is working on
attachments for painting and craftwork.
