Today's Story Highlights

Tea Parties, Pirate Ships and a Kayak: A Summer at Sea
For seven months, a New York Times reporter named David Rohde was held
prisoner by Taliban kidnappers. However, you wouldn't learn that from
reading The New York Times -- or even Wikipedia, for that matter. In
addition to other news organizations, the Times reportedly asked
Wikipedia not to publish information on the abduction.

Is Software Installation on Linux 'Broken'?
You know a controversy is a big one when none other than RMS weighs in
with his opinion, and sure enough, that's what happened in the Mono
debate late last week. "Debian's decision to include Mono in the default
installation, for the sake of Tomboy which is an application written in
C#, leads the community in a risky direction," RMS wrote on the Free
Software Foundation's site.

3 Tips for Brushing Up B2B Security
Companies are seeking to establish electronic relationships with as many
business partners as possible to enhance competitiveness, make it easier
for important third parties to engage with them, cut time and space out
of transaction cycle times and drive down the cost of doing business.

Huge Communications Sat to Service Cellular Dead Zones
The world's largest commercial satellite was launched into space
Wednesday, with a mission to provide phone service to cellular "dead
zones" in North America. The satellite, owned by TerreStar of Reston,
Va., blasted off from Kourou in the South American territory of French
Guiana shortly before 2 p.m. Eastern time, carried through pink clouds.

Jobs' Quiet Comeback, Mini's Big BOM and Maine's MacBook Splurge
After the raging blog activity surrounding the launch of iPhone OS 3.0
and the new iPhone 3GS, the Apple-focused blogosphere has finally slowed
down to catch its collective breath. Still, there's plenty to talk
about, like Michael Jackson music sales going through the roof on
iTunes, CEO Steve Jobs returning to Apple's Cupertino campus and the Mac
mini's relatively high build cost.

Green Dam Protesters Wait for China's Other Shoe to Drop
China reversed itself Tuesday, lifting the mandate to install Web-
filtering software on all personal computers sold in the country. The
government's announcement of the requirement, made without warning in
June, was met with widespread opposition. It could be that the day of
reckoning has simply been postponed.
