Today's Story Highlights
Big Data, Tough Questions
If you work with SIEM, you've been spending more than a couple of years
dealing with "Big Data" -- more lines of logs than any one person, or
even a reasonable-sized team of people, could ever hope to digest. Our
data is plenty big enough already. So why is everyone so hyped over Big
Data now?

German Court Puts YouTube on the Hook for Copyright Sins
Today in international tech news: legal battles galore. In the latest
go-around between Germany and Google, a German court rules that YouTube
is responsible for copyrighted materials uploaded by users. Meanwhile,
courts in Europe and Australia address the issue of ISP liability, a
website called "Facebox" ticks off you-know-who, and Apple defends
itself in a 3G/4G snafu.

Look Before You Make the Leap to Hulu Plus for Android
The 5-year-old subscription streaming video service known as "Hulu Plus"
has doubled its subscriber numbers in the last seven months to more than
2 million, according to numbers bandied about by the company. Hulu is a
joint venture between investors and television operators: Comcast's
NBCUniversal, Fox Entertainment and the Walt Disney Company. Competitors
include Netflix and cable providers like Time Warner Cable.

X-Ray Vision Tech Could Work With Cellphone Cameras
X-ray vision won't just be limited to comic book superheroes in the
future. A team at the University of Texas at Dallas led by Kenneth O,
Ph.D., professor of electrical engineering, has made new scientific
advances that could make it possible for cameras to see through solid
walls. The researchers have designed a chip that could make it possible
for the camera on a mobile device to see through walls, wood, plastic,
paper -- and even into the human body.

Next-Gen iPhone May Be Baptized in Liquidmetal
Apple will use so-called Liquidmetal for the casing of the iPhone 5,
which is expected in June. "Liquidmetal" is the commercial name of an
amorphous metal alloy developed by researchers at the California
Institute of Technology and marketed by their startup, Liquidmetal
Technologies.
