Pro-Turkey Hackers Hit Prominent Twitter Accounts
Hundreds, if not thousands, of Twitter users, many of them high-profile,
were hacked Tuesday by someone who appeared to support Turkey in its
diplomatic row with the Netherlands. Their accounts displayed a Swastika
-- reversed to face to the right -- as well as the Turkish flag and
hashtags to the Nazialmanya and Nazihollanda accounts, which displayed
comments on the attack.

Slackel Openbox Plays Hard to Get
Slackel's Openbox edition is a lightweight operating system that offers
reliable performance once you get the box open. It is not an ideal OS
for every user, though. Slackel 6.0.8 Openbox was released by developer
Dimitris Tzemos last fall. Slackel is a Linux distro that offers several
benefits for users who step away from the typical mainstream Debian-
based Linux distros.

Facebook Gets Tough on Spy Apps
Facebook has updated its Facebook and Instagram policies to prohibit
developers from using data obtained from those platforms in surveillance
tools, according to Rob Sherman, deputy chief privacy officer. Facebook
already has taken enforcement actions against devs who created and
marketed surveillance tools in violation of the company's previous
policy, he noted.

Accenture and Docker Team on Container Services
Accenture and Docker on Wednesday announced an expanded global alliance
and the availability of container services within the Accenture Cloud
Factory. The new services provide a faster industrialized on-ramp
solution for enterprises moving to the cloud. They focus on container
enablement of applications and feature use of Docker Datacenter
Enterprise Edition - Standard.

Gadgets: Note-Taker Triumphs, Classic Nokia Returns, and Audio Thrills
Transcribing speech is tedious, but until voice recognition truly can
handle all manner of accents and verbal tics, it's a necessary evil.
Hands up, everyone who thinks I wouldn't want a machine to take care of
that for me. No one? Good. Titan Note records and transcribes audio,
with a particular trick up its sleeve: It can discern different speakers
when it's transcribing.

computing, has announced a public beta rollout of its Cloud Assessments
