Today's Story Highlights

Berners-Lee Sounds Clarion Call for Universal Web Access
The Internet should be a basic human right, but access to it is
increasingly unequal around the globe, said World Wide Web inventor Tim
Berners-Lee last week. The Web has the potential to be a great
equalizer, he asserted, but only "if we hard-wire the rights to privacy,
freedom of expression, affordable access and Net neutrality into the
rules of the game."

Have Intel and Microsoft Discovered the Fountain of Corporate Youth?
This has been an interesting quarter. After Andy Grove left, Intel often
seemed to struggle with its place in the world and seemed at odds with
the computing OEMs. Now, though, it seems more and more like it did when
it was 20 years younger. It's not alone, either. Microsoft, which seemed
to have forgotten why there were OEMs, suddenly is acting much more like
the firm we knew in the early 90s.

Gadget Ogling: Wireless Lights, Sunny Wearables and Flashy Smartphones
Welcome, dear readers, to another installment of Gadget Dreams and
Nightmares, the best and worst in just-announced gizmos. On the docket
this time around are wireless Christmas lights, solar-charging jackets,
a speed-reading wearable and much more. The Aura Wirelessly Powered
Christmas Lights aren't attached to long power cords designed to snake
along, around and through the tree branches.

Iowa to Lead Digital Driver's License Movement
Iowa plans to issue digital drivers' licenses in the form of a
smartphone app by next year, Paul Trombino, director of the Iowa
Department of Transportation, said earlier this week at a public state
agency budget hearing. The digital license will be accepted by Iowa law
enforcement officers conducting traffic stops, as well as by security
officers who screen travelers at Iowa's airports.

Whoa, Maybe Apple Really Is Serious About Enterprise IT
Apple and IBM have delivered the first batch of enterprise-class apps
for iOS, rolling out 10 apps that cover key industry verticals like
banking and finance, travel and transportation, retail, insurance, telco
and government. The companies have pledged to deliver more than 100 such
apps. The apps are the first proof point in the "unprecedented"
partnership.
