Today's Story Highlights

Google Caught With Hand In Safari's Cookie Jar
Google is one of four online advertising companies that have sneaked
around the privacy settings in Apple's Safari Web browser to track user
activity, according to research by Stanford University graduate
student Jonathan Meyer. All four surreptitiously submitted a Web form
and placed trackable cookies in Safari, Meyer found.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74458.html

Facebook Starts Collecting IDs of the Rich-in-Friends and Famous
Stefani Germanotta might be one of the most popular music performers
today but many people still have to think a moment before they realize
she's Lady Gaga. Recognizing this, Facebook is putting in place an
account verification mechanism for subscribers with a large number of
friends.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74454.html

ACTA Action, Part 1
With SOPA and PIPA on the back burner, ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting
Trade Agreement, has become the world's eminent piece of online piracy
legislation. A slew of countries, including the U.S., have signed the
agreement, but skepticism rages on. There have been protests throughout
Europe, threats from Anonymous and resentment from Web users the
world over.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74449.html

Mobile Nirvana: Syncing Smartphones, Tablets and PCs
The concept of mobile connectivity in today's multi-device world is
changing. Connectivity means more than connecting our laptop computers
to WiFi or 3G carrier networks wherever we go. Today people work on more
than one computer. Increasingly, workers and consumers alike rely on a
growing collection of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74450.html

Clik Aims to Appify the Universal Remote
Canadian company Kik Interactive, creator of the Kik Messenger
smartphone texting app, has announced a new product called "Clik." Clik
lets smartphone users interact with any screen that's connected to a
browser. Smartphone owners can simply use their devices to scan a code
found on the screen they want to take control of and immediately
connect. The screen must have an Internet connection.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74448.html

New Social Network for Caregivers Bucks 'User as Product' Model
Former Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz is offering caregivers a
social networking service designed to be free of confusing privacy
policies and invasive advertising. Social networking is far older than
Facebook, MySpace or even Friendster, according to Schwartz, CareZone
founder and CEO. Family is actually the world's oldest social network.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74445.html

Apple Cross-Breeds Desktop With Mobile in OS X Mountain Lion
Apple revealed on Thursday a developers' preview of the next version of
its OS X operating system, and it's loaded with some of the features
found in the company's popular iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Parts of the
OS X refresh, called "Mountain Lion" and expected to be released in late
summer, will be deja vu for users of Apple's mobile products. A new
messaging app will replace iChat.

Podcast
The Rise of the International Cybervillain (32:13 minutes)
The evolution of today's threat landscape didn't happen overnight. Shady
alliances between government agencies, for-profit cybercrooks,
politically minded hackers and organized crime have formed over the
years to create the situation we see today. In fact, "they do capitalism
better than we do," said Financial Times correspondent Joseph Menn.
http://www.ectnews.com/shared/audio/ect-gardner-2012-02-13.mp3

Today's Story Highlights

Widening Your WiFi Network's Range
If you've followed the advice in my article, "How to Improve Your Video-
Streaming Clarity," and can't use a Cat 5e or greater specification
wired-solution for your network, you may be running into straightforward
environmental limitations. The microwave just isn't getting from point A
to point B and back again.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74433.html

Apple May Begin Following Its Own Privacy Rules
Apple has been caught up in the same privacy storm that has overtaken
Path, Twitter, Yelp and Foursquare in the past several days, as news
surfaced that developers for iOS have been able to access users' address
book information without their permission or knowledge. Apple imposes
rigid requirements on developers and has touted its "walled garden"
approach to the mobile Web as safe and secure.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74443.html

Sabayon Succumbs to Cinnamon's Irresistible Allure
Tongues pretty much haven't stopped wagging down at the blogosphere's
seedy Broken Windows Lounge in weeks now, and these past few days have
been no exception. One of the spiciest topics du jour? None other than
Cinnamon. Sabayon version 8 just made its official debut -- with a dash
of Cinnamon.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74439.html

The Hoarders Will Hate the Next MacBook Pros
While the last update to the MacBook Pro line came in October, the
overall MacBook Pro design is getting a little old. But it's not bad. I
have a buddy who just replaced his aging 15-inch MacBook Pro with a new
15-incher, and he's insanely happy with the wicked speed boost and
sturdy unibody design. But I asked him, "So what about the CD/DVD
drive?"
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74437.html

Random Public Crypto Keys Aren't So Random
Public key cryptography, a system used to secure online traffic, carries
a significant flaw, a group of European and American mathematicians and
cryptographers has found. Public key cryptography requires the sender
and the receiver of a message to each have a digital key to encrypt and
decrypt it, respectively.

Today's Story Highlights

Senate Bill Would Give DHS a Cybersecurity Whip
A bipartisan group of senators has proposed legislation that would give
the United States Department of Homeland Security increased power over
critical IT infrastructure owned by the private sector. The
Cybersecurity Act of 2012 was introduced in the Senate Tuesday by
Senator Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74434.html

Google Zips Up Wallet
In the wake of two security flaws reported in its Google Wallet mobile
payment system last week, Google has clamped down on the system and is
scrambling to come up with a fix. One of the two flaws affects only
rooted devices. But it's the second that troubles Google more.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74429.html

Enterprise Storage: IT's Next Revolution
Enterprise storage is currently in the midst of a great transformation
the likes of which has not been seen in well over two decades. There's
been an unprecedented amount of activity in the storage space this year,
with a host of promising new companies launching and major storage
vendors beginning to drastically retool their architectures.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74417.html

gThumb Nimbly Shuffles Through Images and Video
gThumb is one of the best image viewer and browser applications
available for the GNOME Desktop. I particularly like its adeptness in
handling both still photography and videos. That is an unusual pairing
for an image viewer on any platform. You are not likely to find this
combination, or at least one that works so seamlessly, in other image
viewers.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74422.html

NASA Dreams of Floating Space Station Twixt Earth and Moon
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is looking into
setting up a base near the moon to further space exploration. As it's
envisioned, the base will go into a halo orbit of the Earth-moon
libration point 2, known as "EM L-2," above the far side of the moon.
Essentially, a spacecraft in a halo orbit goes around and around near a
libration, or Lagrangian, point -- in this case E-M L2.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74426.html

Next iPad May Be Quick and Dainty
Rumors are flying that the iPad 3 will debut on March 7. It will be 4G
ready, and it will be available through Verizon and AT&T. The new Apple
tablet will be called the "iPad 3." Rumors also suggest that Apple is
testing a smaller, 8-inch iPad to compete with Amazon's 7-inch Kindle
Fire. The smaller iPad would also come at a lower price than Apple's
standard 10-inch model.

Today's Story Highlights

Hackers Jimmy Into Microsoft's Indian E-Commerce Digs
Malicious hackers attacked Microsoft's India online retail store on
Sunday evening, publishing obscured screenshots that appeared to contain
personal user information. A Chinese hacker group known as "Evil Shadow
Team" took responsibility for the breach, posting a message on
Microsoft's website stating that the "unsafe system will be baptized."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74423.html

How MySpace Got Its Groove Back
On Monday, Myspace announced startling news: 1 million new members have
joined in the past month, and the rate of signups has risen to 40,000
per day. Myspace was considered all but dead when Specific Media and
singer and actor Justin Timberlake took it off News Corp.'s hands last
year.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74421.html

Silicon Valley's Secret Sauce
Business strategists and government officials routinely visit Silicon
Valley in hopes of learning how to emulate the area's wildly successful
startup culture. Now, thanks to The Start-Up of You , a new book by
LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman and entrepreneur Ben Casnocha, the curious
can save themselves the plane ticket.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74420.html

Open APIs Are the New Open Source
We've seen the rise of open source software in the enterprise and also
beyond the IT industry, but the real keys to openness and its advantages
in today's technology world -- where efficient use of cloud computing
and supporting services are paramount -- exist in open application
programming interfaces, or APIs.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74419.html

Filterstorm: Phenomenal Editing Power, Itty Bitty Working Space
Using Filterstorm for iPhone made me wonder what life would have been
like if I'd chosen the iPad edition of the app instead. Filterstorm is
obviously powerful, it's much more versatile than the generic set of
filters you see in a lot of other iPhone photo retouching apps, and near
as I can tell, it delivers each and every feature it flaunts in its App
Store description.

Today's Story Highlights

Samsung Throws Another Galaxy Tab at the Wall
Samsung on Monday announced its latest tablet, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 2.
The tablet has a 1 GHz dual-core processor and runs Android 4.0, aka
"Ice Cream Sandwich." It will be available in 3G and WiFi versions in
Europe from March, starting with the UK market. "Samsung's playing all
over the board," said Tom Mainelli, a research director at IDC.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74411.html

Cracking Open Google Wallet
Mobile shopping received a setback last week when security researchers
discovered flaws in Google Wallet that could potentially expose its PIN
to enterprising hackers. When Google introduced its wallet, it bragged
that it was secure because transaction information was stored in a
"secure element" in Wallet-enabled phones.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74408.html

Apple Tells MacBook Pro to Lose a Few
Apple is reportedly planning a substantial design overhaul for its
MacBook Pro line. The company's next generation of high-end laptop
computers will be thinner, lighter notebooks that closely resemble
MacBook Airs and feature extended battery life. Traditional hard drives
will be replaced with flash-memory-based solid-state drives.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74412.html

Boycott Apple! Why Apple Is Screwed
Boy, if there were ever an indication that we're in the post-Steve Jobs
years, it was last week when there was a major rally to hold Apple
accountable for the poor working conditions at Foxconn in China. Now I'm
all for accountability, but this would be like a European country
holding a restaurant there accountable for the working conditions on
U.S. fishing boats (and there was even a TV show on how bad that job can
suck).
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74402.html

The Day Canonical Pushed Kubuntu Out of the Nest
Linux fans have had a hard enough time watching the ongoing woes of
Mandriva in recent months, so when the news hit last week that Kubuntu
was under threat as well, it just felt like too much. "Today I bring the
disappointing news that Canonical will no longer be funding my work on
Kubuntu after 12.04," wrote developer Jonathan Riddell in a message to
Kubuntu developers.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74409.html

iBooks Author Lets You Build Astounding Texts
In my mind, the most important element of any software application is
the ability to make users feel empowered, as if they can act on
information, make changes, or best yet, create. Apple's new iBooks
Author application for Mac OS X lets you create -- so much so that I
actually believe that I could write an awesome iBook textbook myself.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74399.html

Internet Access Severely Curbed in Iran
Reports are coming out of Iran that the country is increasingly
squeezing Internet access to certain sites, including websites that use
the HTTPS protocol. Many tech-savvy users who were able to circumvent
restrictions to gain access to an unfettered Internet have found their
usual methods are no longer effective.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74406.html

Google Wallet a Pushover for Pickpockets
News of two security flaws in Google Wallet, which lets smartphone
owners pay for purchases through the devices, has caused some concern
about the nascent mobile payment product. One works on rooted devices;
the other works on any smartphone with the Google Wallet capability.

Today's Story Highlights

Tesla's Model X: The Fast and the Electric
Move over, Marty McFly. Electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors on Thursday
unveiled its battery-powered Model X SUV, which accelerates from zero to
60 mph in less than five seconds -- without needing a nuclear reaction
or a bolt of lightning. The Model X will be able to seat up to seven
people, will have gull-wing doors, and is offered in three versions.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74397.html

Google's Android May Pipe Music All Through the House
Google is working on a branded home entertainment system designed to
wirelessly connect Android devices to Google-designed speakers and
stream music throughout the home. The device would be marketed and
branded under the Google name.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74401.html

Is GDrive Ready to Come Out of Its Shell?
Google may soon launch a paid cloud storage service called "Drive," five
years after it first came up with the idea. Google Drive will let
consumers store documents, photographs and videos on Google's servers
for sharing and easy accessibility from any Web-connected device.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/74391.html

Price Could Be the Next iPad Event's Biggest Surprise
When Apple will pull the wraps off the iPad 3 has been a subject of
speculation for months, but the latest prediction -- that it will be
introduced during the first week in March -- appears to be gaining
street cred fast. An Apple event will take place the first week in March
-- which only has two business days in it -- and probably be held at the
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Has anyone else noticed that you rarely receive a copy of hotel room-
service receipts? Why is that? It hadn't really bothered me that much
over the years -- despite a niggling feeling it should -- until an
incident recently where the dollar amount I had signed for clearly
didn't match the checkout bill. In this case, the hotel had added a
service charge after I'd signed -- and after I'd added a tip to the
receipt.
