Today's Story Highlights

Acer Aspire One: Easy on the Eyes, Helpful to the Hands
With all the buzz surrounding netbooks, it seems as if they've been
around forever. In reality, though, they're youngsters in the great
scheme of things. As such, their characteristics are still in flux,
their makers still casting about for the best mix of form and power.
Acer, with the introduction of its Aspire One AO751h model, is advancing
the netbook closer to that best mix.

The Inside Dope on Apple, OSS, Microsoft and Google
I live in Silicon Valley, and sometimes I wonder if someone's putting
something in our water. For instance, one of our local folks, who
evidently treated his agorophobia by playing "Resistance: Fall of Man,"
has sued Sony for stealing money from him as a result of Sony's banning
him from the game.

On Pi Approximation Day, Flying Pigs and DRM
America's Independence Day may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean
there's been nothing else to celebrate as the summer wears on. No
indeed! Last Wednesday was none other than Pi Approximation Day, an
event of perhaps even greater import for geeks far and wide. Traditional
celebrations include marching in circles and eating pie.

Retronyms: Specializing in Smartphone-Sized Sound Studios
Until recently, editing media like audio and video required significant
computing muscle, but the iPhone has changed that. Apple has included
video editing in its latest version of its snazzy smartphone. Meanwhile,
a scrappy company named Retronyms is bringing audio recording and mixing
to the gadget.

Some Healthy Security Habits for On-the-Go WiFi-ers
When Daniel Carter logged on to a shared computer at a hostel in Rome to
check e-mail, he had no idea he was in a hacker's sights. After his trip
was over, he discovered someone had hijacked his e-mail account and sent
a message to hundreds of his contacts asking for money. Most of Carter's
contacts recognized the scam from the poor grammar and lack of upper-
case letters. Unfortunately, one older friend fell for it.

Is LA's Google Apps Idea Resourceful or Reckless?
Security and privacy concerns have been raised over a multimillion-
dollar proposal by Los Angeles to tap Google's Internet-based services
for government e-mail, police records and other confidential data. At
issue is the security of computerized records on everything from police
investigations to potholes as the nation's second-largest city considers
dumping its in-house computer network for Google.

Palm Digs a New Tunnel Into iTunes
Just over a week after Apple cut off the Palm Pre's ability to sync with
iTunes, Palm has restored that capability with an update to its webOS
operating system. In announcing the update on the Palm blog, Palm vice
president of business products John Traynor was somewhat circumspect,
focusing first on the platform's enhanced support for the enterprise,
then slipping in the news about restored iTunes synching.
