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
Playing Hide and Seek in a Wired World
When I first started skip tracing -- that is, finding people -- my only
tool was the telephone and my only resource for searching was directory
assistance. Unbelievably, I was able to find people from London to Fiji,
but it was costly and extremely time consuming. Half my search time was
trying to be connected to directory assistance in a foreign country.
Trust me -- 411 in the '90s was not cheap.

Palin's Use of Private Email Spurs Judicial Review
A plaintiff in a lawsuit against former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin wants a
judge to order the governor's office to use only government email
accounts to conduct state business -- not private emails as the Palin
administration sometimes did. Such use of private emails denies citizens
the right to inspect public records, plaintiff Andree McLeod contends,
and obstructs it.

Cash for Clunkers a Weak Tool for Curbing Emissions
Cash for Clunkers could have the same effect on global warming pollution
as shutting down the entire country -- every automobile, every factory,
every power plant -- for an hour per year. That could rise to three
hours if the program is extended by Congress and remains as popular as
it is now. Climate experts aren't impressed.

John Quincy Adams Tweets From Beyond the Grave
It seems John Quincy Adams was way ahead of his time. A high school
student touring the sixth U.S. president's archives recently noticed his
bite-sized diary entries looked a lot like tweets. Starting Wednesday,
history will meet modern technology as the Massachusetts Historical
Society begins posting Adams' updates from 200 years ago on Twitter.

Intel Taps Facebook Multitudes for Massive Research Efforts
Intel has built an application that will connect Facebook's masses to a
volunteer computing application designed to boost the research efforts
of three nonprofit organizations. Progress Thru Processors is launching
as a public beta and is available to all Facebook users.

Nikon Slaps Mini-Projector Onto New Pocket Cam
Nikon on Tuesday unveiled four new digital cameras in the Coolpix line,
but one of them -- the Coolpix S1000pj -- generated most of the buzz.
This model has a built-in projector that is currently unique in the
industry, according to the camera maker. In addition to its built-in
projector, the Coolpix has slideshow capabilities.
