Today's Story Highlights

When Microsoft Exchange Availability Matters the Most
The average worker checks email once every 15 minutes, recent studies
have shown, with some users checking email as often as 40 times per
hour. In addition, increasing use of personal mobile devices means that
employees have become attached to their email at all times, with some
checking their device as soon as each email arrives.

Fun and FUD in the Fall Flamebait Follies
Maybe it was the fires raging in California. Or maybe it was a way to
blow off some steam before summer came to its unofficial end. Whatever
the cause, there's no doubt Linux bloggers were in the mood for some
spirited debate in recent days. One might even argue, in fact, that more
than a few posts out there in the blogosphere were designed to do just
that -- start a fiery discussion.

Snow Leopard: It's the Little Things That Thrill
Apple's previous version of its Mac OS X operating system, Leopard, was
already great, so what does Apple's latest upgrade -- Snow Leopard --
bring to the table? More importantly, is it worth bothering with? I've
been using Snow Leopard since FedEx brought it to me late last month,
and at the upgrade price of just $29, yes, it's worth getting.

Palm's Pixi Flits Onto Smartphone Stage
Palm is expanding its line of WebOS smartphones -- and ratcheting up
competition with Apple -- with the introduction of a new mobile device
called the "Pixi." The phone, meant to supplement the more serious Pre
smartphone, will be available during the holiday seaon through its
exclusive carrier, Sprint.

Steve Jobs Eclipses New iPods at Apple Show
Apple CEO Steve Jobs returned to center stage to kick off the company's
media event in San Francisco on Wednesday. Apple made a slew of
announcements, mostly focused on its iPod line and iTunes software, that
included price cuts, new features and capabilities, and new products.

Monopoly City Streets Mashup Struggles to Pass Go
Yes, there's a slump in the real estate market. Tell that to the players
who tried to log on Wednesday to a new online version of the classic
Monopoly game that substitutes Google Maps for the board; gamers can
"buy" real streets in cities around the world and build skyscrapers a la
Donald Trump.

Navigating the New Cybercrime Threatscape, Part 1
Cybercrime is pervasive, pandemic and increasingly connected with other
parts of the criminal ecosystem. It ranges from the theft of an
individual's identity to the complete disruption of a country's Internet
connectivity due to a massive attack against its networking and
computing resources.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/68067.html

Microsoft Foes Aim to Snatch Patent Advantage in Linux Tussle
Open Invention Network announced Tuesday that it acquired 22 Linux-
related patents that Microsoft recently sold to the Allied Security
Trust. OIN consists of a group of companies -- including Microsoft
rivals IBM, Sony, Red Hat and Google -- that have been girding
themselves for a legal fight over Linux.

NTSB Practices What It Preaches About Cellphones and Driving
The federal safety agency that investigates transportation accidents is
banning texting and talking on cellphones by its employees while driving
on government business. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman
Deborah Hersman said Tuesday she's adopting the policy because she wants
her agency to follow the same safety practices it recommends for others.

10. 'The Beatles: Rock Band': Here Comes the Fun
"The Beatles: Rock Band" has produced more buzz than any video game
since the last "Grand Theft Auto." When Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
took the stage at Microsoft's Xbox press conference at E3 this summer,
they were greeted with a standing ovation. Gamers, then, already know
and love the Fab Four, so the idea that "The Beatles: Rock Band" will
introduce their music to a new audience is nonsense.

Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device
Just as Robert Langdon gets ready to take his fans on another thrill
ride in the forthcoming new Dan Brown novel, "The Lost Symbol," another
tantalizing mystery has popped up: Is Asus getting ready to unveil a
low-cost, dual-color-screen e-book reader just in time for the holidays?
