Today's Story Highlights

Palm's Mojo Risin'
Palm issued a public release of the Mojo software development kit for
its new webOS operating system, in what could possibly be a response to
leaks of the SDK in June. The SDK, given a limited release in April, had
been slated for public release by the end of summer. Palm's take is that
the public release follows the success of its early access program.

How to Keep XP Running in a Windows 7 World
Many organizations are facing a major decision about what to do with
their PC operating system: upgrade it for all users, phase in an
upgrade, or stay with their current OS. Migrating poses challenges from
equipment upgrades, to installing and configuring the new OS, to moving
user data and settings. Many organizations will instead choose to stay
with XP.

Migrating to Linux, Part 1: Sharing a Room With Windows
Microsoft has a very clever philosophy that it uses to keep consumers
misinformed about the benefits of the Linux operating system. It's a
simple message that effectively dissuades consumers from deviating from
the Microsoft upgrade path to Windows 7. The argument basically asserts
that consumers making the Windows upgrade will continue to enjoy a
familiar desktop experience.

Hollywood to the Rescue With Moon Vid Restoration
NASA could put a man on the moon but didn't have the sense to keep the
original video of the live TV transmission. In an embarrassing
acknowledgment, the space agency said Thursday that it must have erased
the Apollo 11 moon footage years ago so that it could reuse the
videotape. Now Hollywood is coming to the rescue.

Get Off My Platform! Apple Cuts Pre's iTunes Connection
There's a lot of interesting activity to consider in the Apple-focused
blogosphere this week, but three items in particular look like they
might create some fairly long-range ripples. One analyst says that Apple
and its iPhone are wrecking the cellular industry. For Palm, that may
very well be true -- Apple cut off the smartphone manufacturer's easy
Palm Pre iTunes syncing ability.

Canadian Commission Concludes Facebook Is Too Snoopy
After a 13-month investigation, Canada's Privacy Commissioner announced
on Thursday that Facebook's policies and practices violate the country's
privacy laws. There are "serious privacy gaps" in the way Facebook
operates, according to Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart. The investigation
was triggered by a complaint from the Canadian Internet Policy and
Public Interest Clinic.
