Podcast
The SMB Case for Sending Security Skyward (32:22 minutes)
As more devices -- especially mobile devices -- become part of a
business's network, they create more vectors for attack, and tightening
security becomes increasingly difficult. For some companies, cloud-based
security solutions may be easier to administer, more convenient and less
costly.

Today's Story Highlights
Jimmy Wales and the Slippery Slope
Jimmy Wales, cofounder of Wikipedia, recently attempted to pressure ECT
News Network into killing or drastically revising an article that was
not to his liking. In an illuminating series of no fewer than 17 email
messages, Wales demanded, threatened, wheedled and implored in a dogged
effort to accomplish one thing: to get us to change our story.

White House Convenes Experts on Texting-While-Driving Threat
The Obama administration will convene a summit of experts to figure out
what to do about the problem of texting while driving, a practice
studies and a growing number of accidents show can be deadly.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will announce his decision to gather
officials and experts at a news conference Tuesday.

myTouch 3G: Improved Droid Still Has Some Squeaky Joints
Less than a year after T-Mobile and HTC released the first smartphone
using Google's Android operating system, the wireless operator and the
handset maker are back with a sleeker device that takes advantage of
recent software updates. The myTouch 3G has plenty of hardware and
software kinks -- and a $200 price tag that's $50 higher than the
predecessor, the G1, both with a two-year contract.

App Takes the Guesswork Out of Mid-Movie Bathroom Breaks
The mid-movie dash to the restroom can turn us into calculating Usain
Bolt wannabes: Ah, this looks like a lull -- time to dash. When we
return to our seats, we pray the answer to "What did I miss?" isn't
"Darth Vader is really Luke's father" or "the girlfriend is really a
guy." The Web site RunPee.com can help with such anxious guess work.

Scammers Try to Hack Hackers With Crooked Cash Machine
Fooling with hackers is generally a very bad idea, but the scammers
responsible for an apparent ATM grift in Las Vegas may not have been
aware of that particular rule of thumb. The ATM scam happened during the
Black Hat and Defcon security conferences last week, during which time
the Las Vegas Strip was heavily populated with hackers well-versed in
the many methods cyberthieves employ to rip off victims.

FCC Sticks Its Nose Into Google Voice App Flap
Citing pending reviews of wireless open access and handset exclusivity,
the Federal Communications Commission, under the leadership of Julius
Genachowski, has launched in inquiry into the reasoning behind Apple's
rejection of the Google Voice application for its App Store.
