Podcast
Africa is Not a Country -- It's a Collection of Smartphone Markets (15:40)
A recent wave of product activity by major technology companies is
forcing a second look at Africa as the next big arena of opportunity for
smartphone manufacturers and providers. Certain regions may be growing
faster than others -- from an economic standpoint -- but the projected
growth over the next half-century is drawing fresh challengers now to
BlackBerry's traditional dominance of the continent.

Today's Story Highlights

Canon Gets Uncannily Real With New Mixed Reality Tech
Canon officially launched its new MREAL System for Mixed Reality on
Wednesday. Unlike traditional virtual reality-type systems that
essentially block out the real world, this new imaging solution
simultaneously merges virtual objects with those of the real world at
full scale and in three dimensions.

Sophisticated Hack Trapped Apple, Facebook, Says Dev Forum
The owner of the iPhoneDevSDK website involved in a major Java hacking
incident has given his side of the story, saying a single compromised
administrator account was the cause of internal computers at Apple and
Facebook being infected after their users visited the site.

Coming to Grips With Wire
If there's one area of complication in any direct-current, hobbyist tech
project, it's wire. What gauge of wire should you use? How should you
terminate it? How can you join wire on a budget? You'll encounter issues
like this in any DC-current application project, whether you're working
on audio amplifiers or other after-market automotive accessories, solar
equipment or amateur radios.

Why Free Apps Turn Me Off
Of the 300 million-plus people using iOS 6 in one form or another -- and
millions more using iOS 5 -- I get the feeling I'm a dying breed. Why? I
generally dislike and distrust free apps. I can blame some of this on
the overwhelming influence of games, kids, and the psychology of the
masses.

In Search of Linux's Greatest Moment
There's no denying that Linux has had a lot of great moments since the
turn of the millennium, and Linux Girl has done her best to highlight
each and every one of them -- at least over the past six or so of those
years. Recently, however, the question was the subject of a new poll
that prompted vigorous debate.

Google Provides a Clearer View of Glass
After nearly two years of research, testing and developers-only access,
Google announced Wednesday that consumers would finally be next to view
the world through Glass, the company's augmented-reality glasses
project. Those users can participate, however, only if they are the
winners of a social media-based contest.

Despite Denials, China No Doubt Sponsored Hacks, Insists Mandiant
A study on Chinese hacking practices issued by U.S. security firm
Mandiant sent shock waves Wednesday through the technology and business
worlds. A large number of cyberattacks on American corporations,
organizations and government agencies are coming from a building near
Shanghai, the study found.
