Today's Story Highlights
Security, Sanity and Social Networking in the Ranks
U.S. military service members who want to keep up with friends and
family back home have often turned to social networking Web sites to
stay in touch. But the Department of Defense hasn't quite made up its
mind whether these kinds of sites are friends or enemies. It definitely
loves social networking when it comes to recruiting -- you can follow or
friend any and all branches if you're thinking about joining up.

The NFL's Love-Hate Relationship With Twitter
Here's the game plan regarding the National Football League and Twitter:
If it's gameday, there will be no tweeting. If it's training camp, it's
up to each team. When it comes to players' off-time, it would be wise to
take the advice of San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Shawne
Merriman, who navigates social media as easily as he takes down opposing
quarterbacks: Think before you tweet.

Taking FOSS Security Seriously
Code hunters are spotting with greater frequency defective coding that
could open security holes in open source software. The Open Source
Report 2008 and the Architecture Library Report, conducted by Coverity
for the U.S. Department Homeland Security Cybersecurity Open Source
Hardening Project, shows more than 10,000 defects fixed since project
launch in March 2006.

Sony Crashes Party With Robo Photog
Hot on the heels of rival Nikon's new Coolpix line, announced earlier
this week, Sony announced its latest entries to the fiercely competitive
digital camera market on Thursday. The two new cameras in its Cyber-shot
line are the DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1. Along with the new cams, Sony revealed
a device is calls the "Party-shot Docking Station."

Green Glow Illuminates Possible Alzheimer's Breakthrough
Researchers at two Southern California schools may have achieved a
breakthrough in the search for chemicals that can slow -- or even
reverse -- the progression of Alzheimer's disease and possibly even
diabetes. Surprisingly, the breakthrough didn't come from doctoral
programs at UCLA or USC. It came from undergraduate departments at
Loyola Marymount University and Mount St. Mary's College.

Mac OS X Update Polishes Its Image
In what may be the last significant OS X update Apple pushes out before
the arrival of Snow Leopard, the company on Wednesday released Security
Update 2009-003 to fix flaws in the platform. As with other security
updates, this one, known as "OS X.10.5.8," can be downloaded and
installed through Mac users' Software Update preferences or from Apple
Downloads.
