Today's Story Highlights

Federal Court Rules Pilfered Source Code Isn't Stolen Loot
Computer source code isn't a physical object under federal stolen
property laws, according to a federal court of appeals that overturned
the conviction of a former Goldman Sachs programmer. Sergey Aleynikov,
the programmer, was wrongly convicted under the National Stolen Property
Act and the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, according to a decision from
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals Wednesday.

Entertainment Device Convergence: The State of Play
The tumultuous convergence of entertainment devices, greater interaction
with the television-viewing experience, and increased involvement of
social networks were all in the Klieg lights at the IP&TV World Forum,
the Internet television show I attended recently in London. I was
immersed in the future of television content delivery mashed with user
interaction.

Strange Internet Rumblings Coming From China
China's Internet users on Thursday were restricted from accessing
foreign websites for about an hour, setting off speculation that the
nation was instituting -- or at least testing -- a new online censorship
technique. According to The Wall Street Journal , "At around 11 a.m.
local time Thursday, China's Internet suddenly began behaving very
strangely."

Phonedeck: This Manager's Half Asleep at the Dashboard
If there's been a common thread to some of the recent "How To" articles
I've written for Technewsworld and my Android app reviews for
LinuxInsider, it might be the taming of the ever-proliferating devices
that are taking over my living space. I'm collecting things at an
alarming rate. I had to make a run to IKEA recently to buy a bigger
coffee table, as the infestation of black plastic objects was starting
to take over the sofa too.

Sony Slaps Android on the Wrist
Sony on Thursday announced its SmartWatch Android smartphone accessory.
The device, worn on the user's wrist, links to the user's smartphone
through Bluetooth. It acts as an intermediary to let users perform
simple functions on their smartphones. The SmartWatch works with most
smartphones running Android version 2.1 or higher, Sony said.
