Podcast
Online Gambling: The WTO Loads Antigua's Slingshot (34:08 min.)
The WTO ruling that lets Antigua suspend U.S. copyright law has its
roots in the birth of online gambling. It quickly became a major part of
the Antiguan economy, but dried up after the U.S. pulled the plug on its
agreement with the island nation. The WTO ruling gives Antigua a new
card to play: the threat of opening the floodgates on U.S. copyrighted
content.

Today's Story Highlights

Google Adds Cross-Platform Notifications Brick to Chromium Build

Technology's Place in the Gun Safety Debate
The calls for gun control in the United States have grown more urgent
since the December shooting in Newtown, Conn., and it is likely that
legislation will be introduced in Congress this year. Gun control
advocates are pushing for more extensive background checks, a ban on
high-capacity magazines, and restrictions on semi-automatic firearms.

FlightPredictor: Don't Leave Home Without It
Gregstoll's FlightPredictor app takes FlightCaster.com's powerful flight
prediction data and wraps it into a mobile app, in this case, for
Android -- and what a great job Gregstoll, FlightCaster and its data
supplier FlightStats have done. FlightPredictor for Android uses
historical flight data going back 10 years, along with real-time
conditions.

After Nearly 30 Years, Apple Fans Still Flock to Macworld
In the days before Apple split with Macworld, fans of the company's
products used to pack the event in feverish anticipation of watching
Steve Jobs tell them what new goodies his company had in store for them.
How things have changed: The show has a new name, Macworld/iWorld, and
an actor who will be playing the late Jobs in an forthcoming biopic took
center stage.

New York Times Exposes Chinese Hackathon
The New York Times reported on Thursday that it was the victim of a
four-month cyberattack that originated in China. The intrusions may have
been part of a shift by Chinese hackers to apply the same sophisticated
infiltration techniques on foreign media that have been used in recent
years to steal data from international corporations.
