Today's Story Highlights
A Last Call for Snarkers Anonymous?
The old saying used to be, "If you can't say anything nice, then don't
say anything at all." Then the Internet came along, and the saying
changed to, "If you can't say anything nice, then invent a fake user
name and go to town." The Web has allowed us to get away with saying
some pretty awful things to each other without having to say them to
each others' faces -- or even put our own names on them.

It's Hard Out There for a 21st-Century Future Journalist of Tomorrow
I regularly preach in this column about old-school newsies making the
transition to digital journalism, and lately I've actually been trying
to practice all that as well. I've spent the last three weeks becoming
friends with my Flipcam, conducting interviews while playing
videographer, parsing out the content to Web site and broadcast.

Q&A With Open Source for America's Chris Lundberg
Chris Lundberg has worked for years to drive the availability of
technology to the masses. He has managed teams developing software for
the Library of Congress, worked with the U.S. Navy to develop satellite
communications software and consulted for Accenture in developing
telecom Internet solutions.

Will Microsoft Keep 2 Windows Open in Mobile?
A report has surfaced that Microsoft will continue to offer Windows
Mobile 6.5 even after it releases WinMo 7 next year. The story,
published in the Digitimes blog on Wednesday, quoted unnamed sources at
handset makers in Taiwan. Microsoft has been losing market share
steadily in the mobile operating systems market, according to Gartner's
latest figures.

Name-Calling Blogger Tests Limits of Online Anonymity
Someone, somewhere did not like Liskula Cohen, a model in her 30s who
lives in New York. A blog was launched from Google's Blogger platform,
apparently devoted to maligning her, complete with uncomplimentary
photos. To be sure, such online attacks are hardly rare; indeed, Cohen's
story diverges from most such incidents because she fought back -- and
it appears she has been, to some degree, successful.
