The Rise of the International Cybervillain (32:13 minutes)
------------------------------------------------------------
The evolution of today's threat landscape didn't happen overnight. Shady
alliances between government agencies, for-profit cybercrooks,
politically minded hackers and organized crime have formed over the
years to create the situation we see today. In fact, "they do capitalism
better than we do," said Financial Times correspondent Joseph Menn.

Story Highlights
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Widening Your WiFi Network's Range
------------------------------------------------------------
If you've followed the advice in my article, "How to Improve Your Video-
Streaming Clarity," and can't use a Cat 5e or greater specification
wired-solution for your network, you may be running into straightforward
environmental limitations. The microwave just isn't getting from point A
to point B and back again.

2. Apple May Begin Following Its Own Privacy Rules
------------------------------------------------------------
Apple has been caught up in the same privacy storm that has overtaken
Path, Twitter, Yelp and Foursquare in the past several days, as news
surfaced that developers for iOS have been able to access users' address
book information without their permission or knowledge. Apple imposes
rigid requirements on developers and has touted its "walled garden"
approach to the mobile Web as safe and secure.

3. Sabayon Succumbs to Cinnamon's Irresistible Allure
------------------------------------------------------------
Tongues pretty much haven't stopped wagging down at the blogosphere's
seedy Broken Windows Lounge in weeks now, and these past few days have
been no exception. One of the spiciest topics du jour? None other than
Cinnamon. Sabayon version 8 just made its official debut -- with a dash
of Cinnamon.

4. The Hoarders Will Hate the Next MacBook Pros
------------------------------------------------------------
While the last update to the MacBook Pro line came in October, the
overall MacBook Pro design is getting a little old. But it's not bad. I
have a buddy who just replaced his aging 15-inch MacBook Pro with a new
15-incher, and he's insanely happy with the wicked speed boost and
sturdy unibody design. But I asked him, "So what about the CD/DVD
drive?"

5. Random Public Crypto Keys Aren't So Random
------------------------------------------------------------
Public key cryptography, a system used to secure online traffic, carries
a significant flaw, a group of European and American mathematicians and
cryptographers has found. Public key cryptography requires the sender
and the receiver of a message to each have a digital key to encrypt and
decrypt it, respectively.
