Today's Story Highlights
Mapping Out Twitter's Burgeoning Media Landscape
There's no point in wasting any more time -- or text characters. I'm
making it official and declaring this season the Summer of Twitter. You
can thank me later. The declaration isn't just related to the short
message service's use regarding some of the biggest breaking news
stories of the past three months, including the Iranian protests and
Michael Jackson's death.

If Apple's Tablet Is a Train Wreck, We'll Never See It
I'm excited and torn over the rumors swirling around the fabled Apple
tablet device. Excited because Apple may finally be nearing the release
of a new, next-generation product. Torn because I'm having a hard time
figuring out if I could personally find enough value in such a device to
actually buy it.

The Vital Role of E-Presentment in Online Self-Service
Driven by competitive pressure to improve the customer experience,
organizations are moving toward an online self-service model that pushes
the boundaries of electronic information presentation, or e-presentment.
Yet as they embrace this model, new challenges await, including how to
ensure customers have seamless online access to relevant and accurate
information in the format they want.

1 Million Linux Kernels Booted for Vast Botnet Simulation
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have laid the groundwork for
an unprecedented simulation of a large-scale botnet after booting up 1
million Linux kernels as virtual machines. They now are waiting for
completion of a new, faster and more capable supercomputer on which they
hope to run 10 million kernels in a simulation of the open Internet.

Behind-the-Wheel Texting Laws Might Not Change Habits
A proposed national ban on text messaging while driving is already
drawing criticism that it doesn't go far enough and is unlikely to be
effective without stringent enforcement and radical attitude shifts in
the driving public. "The real safety problem is not just texting, but
all cellphone use while driving," said Russ Rader, spokesperson for the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Why Apple Hates Jailbroken iPhones
Technologically curious iPhone owners have long been able to jailbreak
the device -- in other words, unlock the software to allow third-party
applications to run on the iPhone without the approval of Apple. Apple
has always discouraged the practice, and its latest memo on jailbreaking
iPhones claims that such software modifications could crash cellphone
towers.

Security Testers Spot Worrisome Weakness in SSL
Yet more Web security flaws have emerged to threaten Internet users, who
are already bedeviled by the likes of drive-by attacks, SQL injections
and spam. At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, researchers
reportedly demonstrated serious flaws in the Secure Sockets Layer
encryption protocol, a commonly used method of protecting communications
on the Web.
