DARPA Builds Cyberwarfare Proving Ground Posted: 17 Jun 2011 12:05 PM PDT News of two cybersecurity efforts undertaken by the United States government surfaced Friday. One is the Defense Industrial Base Cyber Pilot, in which the U.S. Department of Defense, partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will share classified threat information and the knowledge of how to use that with participating members of the U.S. defense industry. The other is the National Cyber Range, a project overseen by DARPA in which a scale model of the Internet will be built to test futuristic security scenarios and carry out war games. |
Google's Next Nexus: Straight Android, No Chaser Posted: 17 Jun 2011 05:00 AM PDT Google's soon-to-be-released Nexus 4G smartphone is going to have a dual-core processor, a very large screen, and high-definition video capture capabilities, according to a post on Boy Genius Report. It's not yet clear whether Google will offer the device under its own brand or will work closely with a device maker to create a flagship device the way it did with the Motorola Droid. The device will likely be rolled out to the market around Thanksgiving, Boy Genius Report speculates. |
Keeping the Desktop Dream Alive: Q&A With Linux Foundation's Jim Zemlin, Part 1 Posted: 17 Jun 2011 05:00 AM PDT In 2007, Linux was heralded as the desktop of the future. However, the history of Linux on the desktop has been a story of strong support from a relatively small group of diehards but little real impact on the market as a whole. And by last year, there was even talk that the dream of the Linux desktop had been shattered. Why is Linux not doing so well on front-end desktops and on laptops? LinuxInsider sat down with Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin for an exclusive interview to get to the bottom of things. |
Will WebKit Be iOS' Achilles' Heel? Posted: 17 Jun 2011 05:00 AM PDT Apple recently issued a new beta version of its forthcoming Mac OS X 10.6.8 update to developers, reported to contain fixes for the Mac Defender malware and its variants. Cupertino and the Mac Defender clan have been trading shots since May, with the authors of the malware circumventing Apple's efforts to stomp out their attacks. Meanwhile, Apple is moving even further into the mobile space -- which is what Steve Jobs pretty much spelled out at WWDC, once again talking about the post-PC world. |
