Today's Story Highlights

Wired Water: IT Gets Ready for the Shock
Go wet, young IT man. Your parched, imperiled planet needs you. When it
comes to creating a future filled with fresh, drinkable water,
information technology professionals have a significant career
opportunity in a mega-sized market. The very economic survival of a
thirsty, arid Earth depends a great deal on properly applying the skills
and expertise of app developers and systems administrators.

Iran, Technology and Truth: Do You Care If Your Information Is False?
If you look at how people flock to Web sites that are obviously on the
extreme right or left of an issue, or if you watch debates on abortion
or gay marriage -- or even whether the sitting president has a clue --
don't you often get the sense that for many, believing they are right
and putting down those who disagree is more important than actually
being right?

Agile turns labor of necessity into best seller
When some PC users move to a Mac, they occasionally can't find an Apple
analog for a bread-and-butter application they had in the Windows world.
In those cases, most users learn to live without their cherished app.
The folks at Agile Web Solutions, though, learned how to build a
business on theirs.

Is Linux Suffering From Mono?
In the general population, "Mono" may be best known for infecting
teenagers with the "kissing disease." On the Linux blogs, it's recently
caused a different kind of anguish as geeks far and wide have debated
whether it's infected Linux too. It's a different Mono, of course, but
its effects -- or, at least, the discussion of them -- have been no less
agonizing.

Terrorists' Newest Weapon: Hacktivism
Terrorist groups that have long used the Internet to spread propaganda
are increasingly tapping the Web to teach Islamic extremists how to be
hackers, recruit techies for cyberwarfare and raise money through online
fraud, U.S. officials say. A senior defense official said intelligence
reports indicate extremist groups are seeking computer experts.

Hunch.com Provides Limited Help, Still Fun to Play With
I'm sick of spending so much time making decisions, like what to eat for
lunch or where to go on a date. So lately I've been outsourcing the
process to a free new Web service that is happy to do it for me. Hunch,
which was cofounded by one of the people who launched the popular photo-
sharing service Flickr, helps you make thousands of decisions ranging
from "Am I drunk right now?" to "Which Zelda game should I play?"

Google Hustles to Meet China's Porn-Blocking Demands
Google has stepped up its efforts to fight Internet pornography in
China, following Beijing's move on Friday to block some Chinese-language
results delivered by its search engine. "We are undertaking a thorough
review of our service and taking all necessary steps to fix any problem
with our results," said Google spokesperson Scott Rubin.
